Ken Beaumont Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm not ignoring history, but it seems to me at this point there are a lot more red instruments. The question was is it becoming the new black or standard. But your right, Nord certainly wasn't first to be red. But all nords are red, who did that?

I thought the top and not the tolex was red, but it's been a while since I've seen the movie. Didn't they make the top in colors other than silver?

Those who ignore history are doomed to think everything started in 1995. http://www.parlapiano.com/museum/images/vox.jpg Continental tops were actually orange, it just doesn't look it in that photo. Farfisa Combo Compacts were lipstick red when new IIRC. The couple that I've seen recently have faded out over the last 45 years and no longer just blow your eyeballs out. Red was the favorite color of my first wife. To this day I can't stand the color red, and it would take a very special keyboard indeed for me to want it if it were all bright red. I don't own any Nords BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My Farfisa in the pic above was used when I bought it in a pawn shop for $250 - my first purchase! I took it home, cleaned the hell out of it, and took red and black shoe polish to that tolex to make it gleam. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own any Nords BTW Same here ! Best colors for gear on stage is black, white or grey,- ask the light designers. I think, today it´s acceptable if a rig is completely the same color,- maybe all red, silver, blue or whatever,- but the worst is a lot of different devices,- all, most, many or some in different gaudy colors.

Joe Muscara Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Haven't there been threads on here about why don't we keyboard players get color choices like the guitar guys? Where are those posters? Have they all been banninated? "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
