  1. I'm not sure about the validity of any claim that it was the keyboard used in that video !

    In fact, the last I heard, all artists and instruments on show that night were rapidly disassociating themselves from that cheese fest ;o)

  2. 100k? If I have the dough, I would get 3 Buchlas and a Serge, then save the rest for a Matrix Voyager...

    Man... 100k?

  6. Hmm. no one asked me to sign it.

    I bet Don Buchla didn't sign it either.

    That's probably for the best, for if our two signatures were ever to find their way on the same object at the same time, that object would certainly explode.

  7. From the site:
    NOTE: This keyboard does not come with an "engine" and is not intended to be played. You are bidding on a vintage collector's item.

    Wooo 100k for the antique with signatures... Wait! I can use contact microphones!

  8. "They ruined a perfectly good keyboard."

    Oh, pish posh. KaTe Bush and Stevie Wonder's autographs added to anything makes them better. Scientific fact.

  10. On the off chance that early Christians commended anything, it would in general be the passing of dearest saints or extraordinary pioneers of their houses of worship. They considered birth festivities to be agnostic. Serena Williams
