Yes Henry is part of the Kaiser dynasty.

He is reportedly friends with HAD so he probably able to purchase any amp he wanted from HAD.

Henry Kaiser is a lot of things...a University of California employee, a South Pole visitor, a former rich kid, but most importantly, a respected avant-garde musician. If you don't get it, that's fine. Marc Ribot gets it.

If Marc Ribot gets it than I'll have to give Kaiser another shot. I love Marc's work.

Henry is a very interesting person. I am fortunate enough to call him a friend. He does a lot of videographer work at the South Pole (he was there in September / October).

He and Alexander are still buddies and keep in contact from what Henry was telling me a while back. I know he has off loaded a few of his Dumbles to John Mayer. But still have several in his arsenal of stuff. He is also the proud owner of Dumblator #1.

Well I understand that he is an inovator of unique sound scapes,I
was just curios about his playing and if that video applied to what music he actually does/did,And also does anybody have any info on whether
he owned any recent dumble's (#200 and on)?I just figured that all HAD's Users had to go threw his 5 point inspection...Or was all his early customers just simply customers..and they didnt have to have the super star treatment.

I know some of that HAD rubish Is just myth but was wondering is all


these are all question that baffled me
regarding Henry Kaiser and his experimental playing style

So thats where John mayer's Od Reverb
or SSS came from....

I am pretty sure that all of his Dumble are from the Santa Cruz era.

I might be mistaken. I will ask Henry when I talk to him.

Thanks for the scoop guys...he really gets a bad rap,a lot of folks proceed him as a vile musician. I thought to myself there's got to me more
to him than just a guy that is trying to talk to aliens with his guitar
