Peter Elvins UK
Since there are now so many websites with the same surname
on the Internet, therefore to identify we call this site as
Peter Elvins UK. He was formally the owner of Elvins Electronic
Musical Instruments. In 1970s, he had three retail outlets from
SW London to East London and a factory in Southend.
Peter Elvins have actually designed or invented a number products
however, he did not get the full patent for them instead he
was more interested in making money.
Who is this Peter Elvins and what has he done in UK?
We know Peter Elvins spent sixty thousand pounds (£60,000.00)
of his own money to setup a consortium in a struggle to persuade
the last concretive government of the nineties to teach in schools
about how to produce components used for manufacturing products.
We would be delighted to hear from anyone who knew Peter Elvins
the Guitar Player, Electronic Engineer, Designer Inventor of
Electronic Organs, Electronic Pianos, DJ Mixers in the past.
Why so many people round the globe are talking about this
Peter Elvins, and his values but how much do they really know
about him? One thing for sure he means what he say and uphold
his words. In this web site, you can find out about a mad professor.
However, we hope you will find his lifetime work, mission, achievements
interesting and inspiring.
Richard Holmes is an Electronic Engineer a friend
of Peter Elvins since the early 1970 and I want to say so much
about this incredible man and we are not sure where to begin.
From the beginning of 1960s and end of 1970, Peter
Elvins was well known in the UK British Musical Manufacturing
industry for his electronic organs and electronic pianos.
Peter Elvins The Guitar Player
Even though he was not a guitar legend never the less, he was
the one of the luckiest musician in the early 1960s. His breakthrough
came while he was still in university when he was offered guitarist
job in a big band playing six nights a week.
Peter Elvins started his working life as Big Band guitar player
in Birmingham. He was playing in jazz nightclubs while he was
still learning to play the guitar. In 1961 he moved to London
and worked with small pop groups. While he was a musician, he
was also heavily involved designing electronic keyboard musical
instruments and guitar sound effects. In the early sixties,
he designed the first touch sensitive piano. He also worked
as a freelanced electronic engineer
While working as a freelance electronic design engineer and
as an musician he wanted to manufacture his own musical instruments.
In the second half of the 1960s he made the touch sensitive
electronic piano in a spare room that he rented below his flat
Queen's Park north west London. Elvins Electronic Musical Instruments
was established in 1971. He opened his first retail shop in
Putney selling electronic organs and electronic piano in both
forms fully made up and DIY kit form.
Back in the seventies, we have seen many good things said about
his in business magazines and in newspapers. At present, these
editorials are not to hand. As time permits, we will add as
much information as we find and gather them so, please make
frequent visit here.
David Godwin Hampstead Heath London From , Mr. Mrs. Peter Bells
Colchester Essex, Mr. Mrs. Erick Little Tonbridge Kent, who
knows Peter Elvins since the early sixties said that he is a
genius inventor. The press called him the man with the mission.
At the end when it all got too much for him he latterly gave
away the lot stock and barrel of his business to his staff.
Some of us here at Savelink also known him since 1973 and we
can say that he is straightforward. He means whatever he says
and most of all he is an extremely generous man that we have
came across.
We will be more than happy to hear from anyone who knows this
Peter Elvins or if you have something in common that you wish
to share.
Be our guest and have a good look around. Go to Track
Record page and you can read some of things that he had
done in the past.
However, we started this web site on Monday 20 November 2000.
At this stage, we do not know when we will complete site.
