"Just a few pics I thought you may like from the Maker Faire which is taking place today and tomorrow at the Center for Life in Newcastle. Tucked away in the annex is the Synth room. Ian Boddy, Modulator ESP, Oakley Sound and Krispi Modular Construction are in attendance (and more). Plenty of opportunity for hands on with vintage and new gear and chat with the guys."
Not a synth, but I'll make an exception for this one. That's one groovy looking Rhodes. Some shots of the inside below.
"an extremely rare 1969 Fender Rhodes Student Piano... This is the rare "Jetsons" Model.... You dont get much more 60's vibe then this.... The piano features a built in amp and speakers.....The amp has just been serviced... The piano plays well with no sticky keys etc...."
This one in via Kadin: "I think we had a fridge that colour when I was a kid."
