Inside an Akai AX-73

"The Akai AX-73 is too big/heavy to be portable and has a very minimal control surface...perfect for a chop job. Thus was born the Akai AX-37.

It was a bit of work, with the hacksawing through the all-steel chassis and cramming the boards together, but it all works!

The walnut ends are from a fellow who does *very* nice work and is offering them for sale for the AX-family. I think they really make this project look quite classy."
