Thompson Twins' Digital Marimba for Sale



"Digital Marimba, custom built by Premier for the Thompson Twins.

It was in dry storage for about 20 years - I have no idea whether the wire looms and the two midi boxes function or not."

  1. I saw them live in '84 or '85 and loved the show. The intro to The Gap (I-II--II-III--II--III) made me want a sampler as much as the bangs and clangs of that era's Depeche Mode albums.

  2. Oh, and they had at least one Prophet T8 on stage, which I coveted at the time. (...and still do.)

  3. Looking at this pic of the digital marimba sitting on the pavement with a storage building behind it is, to me, sad.
