Just got a DVD of George Duke live in Tokyo 1983. He uses a remote keyboard hooked up to his Prophet 5.

 

He calls it a "clavitar".

 

The real winner in his keyboard rig however is a clav with a whammy bar in a clear perspex shell. Awesome.

 

Yeh it's his disco phase, but man he's a monster of a keyboard player. Oh and the band ain't short of talent either. Thunderthumbs Johnson of the Brothers Johnson on bass ...

Gig keys: Hammond SKpro, Korg Vox Continental, Crumar Mojo 61, Crumar Mojo Pedals

Maybe they make one of these and I just didn't see the review in KEYBOARD. :)

 

Do they have a Keytar controller with wireless MIDI? And if not, shouldn't they? :freak:

A voice in the back of the room screams: YOU'RE CRAZY!! ...I TRIED CALLING BUT YOUR MOTHER KEPT HANGING UP ON ME!! :freak:

"Freeboard" isn't being used for anything else.
Well, that's not actually true. "Freeboard" is the vertical distance from waterline to gunwale on a boat. (Gunwale is prounounced "gunnel", and it's the top of the outer edge of the boat's hull.)

 

Not that it matters!

As a sailor I knew this. It's not a noun in this context, it's an adjective. Sailboats also have "cars" and "sheets", but those words are successfully used elswhere as well...

I didn't feel the need to bring up freeboard.

 

But, anyway keytars are awesome, and so is the name. You guys take yourselves too seriously.

If you think anyone in this thread is serious yuor woefully mistaken. You will rarely find this much tongue in a cheek.

I got a good laugh out of a few of these. :thu:

 

I still have no problem with either the instrument or the name though. I'd love to have a stand to hold a keytar to my right at an angle, so I could strap on a guitar and play duels, unisons or harmonizations with myself. :D

A picture may paint a thousand words, but a melody can paint a thousand pictures.
