grotrian steinweg (without the upper ornament and less fancy castiçal

lovey jx8p

and the dm5... since my religion do not permit drum machines

There a lot of old mates too...I am not alone

 

my first synth, I got it in 1981, and then got the Casiotone MT30



and this was my first drum machine



and then this to mix



those primitive days

 

let's say matured *yes* ..and there is nothing on the planet which hits a real piano sound..



...and if your from brazil, you will have a big problem in less than 24 hours

 

Brazil have big problems every 24 our

 

maybe but those with 24 hour problems don't own a 1920 Steinweg

 

Those days were cool, man
That's when electronic really started and began to grow. I don't know what the heck I would have done with my life if synths and drum machines and home recording hadn't come along when it did.

 

they do not have ankylosing spondylitis
Congrats: only 2 people discovered that the piano is from 1920s, in reality I just played 1000usd and in the next day someone offered 2500usd. I search a lot an identical but never found.
The poor guy need some seriouslsy Ricks Restaration because my 10hour study all theys of the year kill him...shorly it will have 100 years..just like us

 

Kraftwerk, Jarre, Depeche Mode, New Order (Joy Division)..they all characterized the synth area. But most forgotten is Isao Tomita. He really made my day with his interpretation of "pictures at an exhibition". And Giorgio Moroder with his outstanding and never reached Donna Summer burner "I feel love". He tweaked his Moog Modular like a god.

I am afraid rick will send your Steinweg to the happy huntin g ground

Not to be misunderstood. Your Steinweg is great and very well worth the restauration but watching Rick....his nose speaks volumes

 

You guys rock!!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Really awesome!!!

 

My first keyboard was when i was a kid, it was one of those old cheap organ/keyboards that used to howl like the wind when you started them up, and my first drum machine was about 10 years later, the trusty old Alesis SR16

 

First keyboard (if you don't count a piano) was some sort of beginner keyboard that Kawai made in the late 80's. Wish I could remember the name...

Well, flash forward about 12 years and as a teenager, I got into keyboards and synthesizers and purchased the following within about a year of eachother:
Casio WK-1630 (meh)
M-Audio Oxygen 8 (the original one)
Roland SH-32 Synthesizer (surprisingly good)
Zoom MRT3 Drum Machine (horrible lol)

Now I use an Arturia Keylab49 and an M-Audio Axiom 49 mkII with an Access Virus C and soft-synths. I use an Arturia SparkLE for drums sometimes as well (sort of a drum machine).

I've also used an Alesis QX49 (good features, AWFUL quality), a Line6 KB37 (good as an all-in-one solution if you need an interface), and a Yamaha NP-30 (good keybed, mediocre sound quality). But I ended selling them to get the better boards.
