Ever seen a tiny but chonky keyboard like the one Pierre Schaeffer has in this French recording studio (1961)
From a very cool book with lots of accordions 🪗 by famous photographer Robert Doisneau
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_S

Industrial looking control interface with knobs and switches and a very small 12 key (?) keyboard on top. Very 1960s space age. Probably weighs more and is larger than my kitchen stove for that tiny keyboard.
Pierre Schaeffer, black and white posed art portrait in the recording studio surrounded by equipment including that weird keyboard, which is attached to a larger device with other knobs and stuff on top. He is a white middle-aged guy with tidy combed dark hair, in a suit. Seated thoughtfully with his chin in his hand looking at the camera.
