Jokeyman123 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Finally got rid of the tiny piano. Due to real estate issues (I can't afford to add a music room..yet) I must divide and conquer. Here in my small office room, surrounded by a guitar rack with an assortment of string instruments, 4 digital recorders an old TEAC 3340 and 2 drum pad controllers (a KAT and SDMP1) plus an assortment of wind instruments I managed to shoehorn in my XW-P1, on top of my Equinox, which is on top of Ensoniq MR76. I also have three bookshelves of fakebooks and other paraphenalia just offstage. Now here in the family room I prop my PX350 on a kludged rack so I can shnooker my old Yamaha SY77 under it. What you don't see is my collection of vinyls underneath all this, and assorted spare computer things.The cabinet weighs a ton but I yank open the doors and use it to prop the PX350 at a suitable height. I so dislike carpal tunnel syndrome. I designed it just for this. I can always use it for firewood if I need to. the seat is from my final Casio......below This is next to my bed...yes my wife is unbelievably patient with me. this also comes in handy as a nightstand for snacks and gives me something to trip over when I have to get up at 3 AM...I'll leave the rest to your imaginations. All in all, the best part of having a wide distribution network is that when I wander around from room to room and forget why I went there in the first place, I can always sit (stand) and play some music. By the way, my 3-tier A-frame stand is in the drumshed off-site, where my lonely old Ensoniq TS-12 sits next to a dizzying amount of drum and percussion stuff. I can't even get in there to play anymore. And I've sold alot of stuff lately, this is what's still left over! Life is good. :lol: :lol: :P :P Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I have one of those little toy Reveal Musicstar keyboards. But I forgot where it is. It's much easier finding the big stuff at my age. Thanks for visiting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I admire your wife's loyalty and self restraint in that she hasn't covered your keys with doilies and flower vases yet Even more so that she hasn't already filed for divorce. Re, the third pic. Is that circa 1970's melamine fake wood panelling I see there in your bedroom? Do you own the place or rent if you don't mind my asking? I remember when my dad panelled our entire basement with that melamine stuff when I was a kid back in the 70's. Otherwise though, great collection of keys that you have there. Like you, I always try to have some sort of ivories to pound on whenever inspiration strikes, no matter what room I'm in. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyy38 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Less is more, and it always has been to me, even when I had *more*, but not by too much! Pictured: CASIO WK-1350, A nice pair of KOSS 20/20 Headphones, ZOOM H1 Handy Recorder and a broke down TEAC Dual Cassette Unit. With my laptop, and AUDACITY, this is basically the "way I roll." Back in 1990, during the era of "not by too much", I had the following: Tascam Porta 05 4 Track Studio Teac Dual Cassette ( when it was still fully functioning ) Hitachi Six Head Hi-Fi VCR Alesis- MMT-8 Sequencer SR-16 Drum Machine Micro Verb Micro Limiter Casio CT-670. ****************************************************************** In the glorious, hi-tech, low cost, NOW, all I need is the CT-X500 and maybe a software advance to Mix Craft 8.

MTapani Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Just got a new keyboard-stand (K&M Omega, great and very sturdy), so I can now play my MZ-X500 and Microarranger together and do fast solos without being afraid of them dropping to the ground: These two I use the most at the moment but I also have many more keyboards: Yamaha Reface YC Roland RP-301 digital piano (I use this with Pianoteq-software) Casiotone MT-68, MT-70 and MT-55 Casiotone PT-1 and PT-20 Yamaha Portasound PS-2 and PS 400 Yamaha Handysound HS-200 Plus Korg Monotrons and a couple of ukuleles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 No more wood paneling. I moved. Now its worse. I'm so ashamed of myself. Add the PX560, and I still have everything else. I posted a pic of the PX560 with a new cover elsewhere. Good thing I'm not obsessive compulsive....... And this doesn't include the Roland RS-70 and E-09 I just pickled up to give me something to do.....plus the modules.......better stop there. the good thing...a group of musicians could walk in here, and we could rehearse just about anything and they wouldn't have to leave the house, except for coffee and donuts, i don't generally have those around-no room for food here.

Jokeyman123 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 You hurt my feelings Null, when you called this fake melamine. It's real melamine......actually no this was real wood but I moved- and added a PX560 and Korg microKontrol. Now if only I could get rid of some furniture........
