Equipment:
- Hammond BV w/Leslie 122, both custom made
- Roland D-20
- Roland FP-5
- Roland SH-201
About me and my equipement:
- In 1988 I bought the Roland D-20, my first band instrument, and joined my first band.
I bought the Hammond organ and the Leslie in 1994. They are very old and have been overhauled and modyfied by myself.
In 2006 I decided to join this Pink Floyd Tribute band and needed more equipement so I invested in the Roland FP-5. Early 2007 I also bought the
Roland SH-201 as an analoge (at least viritual analoge) synth was needed.
You might ask why I only use Roland keyboards and that is so simple as I never have had any problems with the D-20 even though it has been used very hard for many years. It just felt safe and right to continue with that brand. They may not sound the best, but I like the quality of the keyboards since they feel very rigid. Value for money is the keyword. The SH-201 is a
very cheap synth and feels of course a lot cheaper than the other two, but still to that prize it's nothing but a "best buy".
Anyway, nothing will ever come even close to a good old Hammond...
