That photographic slow reveal was almost erotic HG
Looks terrific. Very jealous
WOW looks fab Baz
I too am very jealous, you only need a Ringo kit now ;D
Thanks, Moog and Kev mates.
I'm only fair on piano. I have a Baldwin baby grand in my living room. I should be practicing more!
I can't play drums, Kev. But I do have this replica Beatles Sullivan head. A graphic artist in Atlanta, who's a big Ringo fan, painted it for me about ten years ago...

Good onya Baz

I was at church this morning and there was a similar Hohner keyboard/piano in the corner , not sure if it's the same
Yeah, Kev, if Paul ever comes to visit he'll have a bunch of familiar instruments he can play. All except for a French horn. But he has one built-in...

Very cool Barry! I've always wished I could learn piano. The closest I've come was in college when I took Music for Early Childhood. I really enjoyed going to the piano lab and preparing for the piano test. I had to pick a song to play and sing in front of the whole class. The preparation was the fun part; the test itself was terrifying!
The Pianet N is a pretty cool keyboard, Kelley. There are metal reeds in the Pianet instead of strings like you'll find in a piano. Striking the keys causes "sticky pads" attached to the ends of the key rods to "pluck" the reeds yielding its distinctive sound...

Although Rod Argent is seated at VOX Continental in the video, he played a Hohner Pianet in the recording session.

Nice, Barry.
If you need a drummer to join your band, I can deliver one. My daughter picked up her drumming lessons a few weeks ago. :)

John Sebastian is "playing" a VOX Continental in the video, but he played a Pianet N during the studio recording.

Pretty ballad, Kev. Modern keyboards have Pianet voices digitally added they sound so good.

Christine McVie still sounds and looks great!
I liked the old Hohners, but they don't make them anymore. Before they went off the market I bought about six of them to use for replacement parts, but now that a transistor blew out of one of them, I'm down to my last one. They would break down a lot onstage too, I'm telling you. It would make the most awful, atrocious noise, this crackling hiss and farting all over. It would sound like some sort of alien parrot trying to get through to you. I never used a Wurlitzer instead, though, because in essence the Wurlitzer was like the Rhodes. I never much liked its sound -- too soft for me.
Christine McVie Contemporary Keyboard, October 1980
I just noticed that Fleetwood Mac used the same backdrop for Say You Love Me...almost 40 years later!
