It was! They were active from the early 1960s through the mid 1980s. I have two: a phase-III Hi-Flyer, and a hollowbody Coily that I keep in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning.
There's plenty of good info here: vintageunivox.com

Whatever's...on the other side of a hosp? Assuming, of course, that the host-facing side is considered hospward.

While I'd found a link to the release on Bandcamp and posted that...there are no streamable tracks there, and it's CD-only. But...maybe the contact there may be helpful? dirtythree.bandcamp.com/album/in-the...

It’s been a great inspiration to me, in helping me reframe creative activity as something I can fit into “now” or “this week,” as opposed to waiting for some much-larger inspiration that would guide me through a project that’d take many months.

In the last few years I’ve used them less, but I was getting a lot of mileage out of Ableton’s Analog (subtractive) and Operator (FM) for a long time before that.

This week’s composition, a short piece featuring the $60 Univox hollowbody in Bb F tuning. Two short sessions, pretty spontaneous, lotta fingerpicking and arpeggios.

I have the Live at Federal Hall on Table of the Elements, which is interesting. Looking at his discography, there’s a lot I haven’t heard. I’ll have to dig in more!

Where does the difficulty come from? The shorter scale length, or something else?

Monday night's #ambient #guitar #improv session on home-built Res-O-Glas, now up on Bandcamp. Some very glassy/pipe-organ timbres, and some strong resonances with the ebony slide in a few tracks. $0/name-your price at snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Since his earlier “ex-voter” piece in The Week mentions a vote for his maternal grandfather, I’m curious which family connections are at play here.

Now he's also bought tickets for HCC v Tuaregs and HCC v Australian High Commission. I do hope he doesn't need these email receipts to get the tickets. I'd also rather not get an email every time he buys one.

He’s bought the ticket from the Hurlingham Club, who apparently don’t require email verification. Also, on signup, they blast out your username and password in plaintext.

Anyone know Maurice Holmes in London? He’s bought a ticket for Saturday’s HCC v Harrow Wanderers game (£16). For some reason, he had the receipt sent to me.

Are you a #guitar fan? Do you enjoy wildly distorted, sick guitar licks?
Well, let me introduce you to Rəhman Məmmədli.
You've never heard a timbre like this. Unhinged, distorted tones accompany free flowing Eastern tinged improvisations.
