And two that I still have, and use, here at the apartment and in the studio:

Yamaha CS-01 analog synthesizer

Yamaha TQ-5 Tone Generator.

Plus I have my adopted Mum's extremely old Ruggeri violin (superb condition, with original case and bow), which I never learned to play.

I have to say, I'm enjoying seeing these lists of gear...some pretty cool instruments, especially 124's Watkins Telstar (and performance)...did you play the song Telstar on it as well?

Yep, I think everyone and his dog would've been knocking out that old Tornados hit back then:). That little Watkins organ was a dandy, though. It had percussion on it, not to the degree of Hammond of course, but nevertheless it set it above the Vox Continentals and Farfisa Duos that were the main keyboards of choice in the UK in those glorious times. In fact, I don't think many Telstars were made. I never saw another one 'on the road'.

Watkins were only a small manufacturer, but they made amps and speaker cabinets as well under the WEM (Watkins Electric Music) brand name. Pretty well regarded stuff in general.

BTW, Ian. Did you spot the to-be rock legend in the opening dialogue in that movie clip? Steve Marriott of the Small Faces. We were talking about his putting a group together and he asked if I'd be interested in joining. Nah, says I. I'm doing okay with my band now.

Oh, well. smile
