Hello,
My name is John and I have been lurking here for a couple of years. I found this forum while researching equipment. There is a lot of great information here. And you have influenced me to make some purchases. Or maybe just helped my GAS.
During the day I work in IT. I am a weekend warrior these days, which is about all I have time for. Now that I have children, my music is been slowly taking the back burner. Luckily everyone else in my band all have small children.
I am primarily a trumpet player, but have been playing Keys for 14 years in a cover band in northern Wisconsin. Before that I was in a SKA band for 9 years and really began to appreciate some of the older keyboards.
I am a huge fan of Hammond, Rhodes, Wurli, Clav and Moog. I have slowly been obtaining some of the older instruments, and trying to learn about maintenance and repair of these boards. My next project is to restring and yarn my clavinet.
Thanks for all the great info. I do not chime in much but enjoy learning from your knowledge.
