Oh, that Wacky Craigslist


Recommended Posts

Encountered both of these listings for Richmond today:

 

First, an Allen organ, which looks identical to what I played in church in the late 1960s. Well, the pedals are different.

Next, an Elka polyphonic synth designed for accordionists who double. Apparently it was something of an arranger keyboard. Yes, really:

Oh man, that Elka Concorde 811 looks like fun. I don't see many interesting things on CL up here in Nova, but there were TWO Mellotron 400s listed by different people at the same time a few years back. I thought the world might be ending...

Korg Kronos 61 (2); Kurzweil PC4, Roland Fantom-06, Casio PX-350M; 2015 Macbook Pro and 2012 Mac Mini (Logic Pro X and Mainstage), GigPerformer 4.

Didn't anyone notice the Allen pedals? You guys disappoint me!

 

I did. Looks like a straight pedalboard, or an older princess pedalboard. Full 32 but I hate the spacing (if it's a princess one).

That's one of those "right answer the teacher wasn't looking for" things.

Now go find the three E-Flat pedals.

Does anyone here think it might be fun to post the wackiest or even most rare local Craigslist postings they happen to see (keyboard-related, of course) in this thread and keep it going? Could be good for a few laughs and even some memories...

I remember that. Rippen was a Dutch piano maker, and that was their halo model. The soundboard and pinblock were still made of wood, obviously, just the frame and body were made of aluminium. I never played one, but remember the brochures around the house when my dad was piano shopping.

I looked up that Accordion organ, and they made several models, even BUTTON ACCORDION version. I can't find any information about these instruments, as the company was sold several times and eventually went out of business. But there's a video on YouTube of a guy playing on it! Fascinating concept, obviously INCREDIBLY niche, so not surprising it never sold:

Puck Funk! :)

 

Equipment: Laptop running lots of nerdy software, some keyboards, noise makersâ¦yada yada yadaâ¦maybe a cat?

Sold a stage piano on Gumtree (what Aussies tend to use instead of Craigslist, although we have that as well) a few years back. Full description and photos, the usual drill.

 

When the guy received it (at a real good price, I might add) I got all these spammy text messages about how it doesn't do this and it doesn't do that.

 

That's right mate, it's a stage piano not a ****ing Kronos. Next time - pick up only!

Reviving the Zombie...

 

Found this on CL near me. It seems to me it's only off by one decimal place. The ad calls it a 60 watt unit -- but that's the motor. Actually it's a single passive 10" (25 cm) speaker, which needs an amplifier to drive it.
