My Music Studio
Electronic Instruments
- Yamaha SK-20 Synthesizer, circa 1982, analog synth/organ/strings - a gift from my wife, Cindy in 1982 - Sweet!
- Evolver MEK, Dave Smith Instruments, as close as I could get to a Sequencial Circuits Pro-One type keyboard. Very cool mix of analog and digitial sound tecnology with a sequencer and arpeggiator.
- Dave Smith Prophet '08, the closest relative to my favorite Pro-One synths.
- Evolver Desktop, Dave Smith Instruments, basically like the MEK but without an arpeggiator. I use a Behringer UMX250 keyboard controller with it.

Guitars
- 1982 Martin D-35, sweet! Got it in 1991, the sound was just starting to mature, now it is beautiful with a balanced bass and treble.
- 1998 Martin DBXR - I got this one in a pawn shop for $300. I could not figure out why it was so cheap and sounded almost as good as my D-35! When I researched it out, I discovered that it was a laminated guitar with wood bracing. This is a wonderful axe that sounds great and plays easy!! I take it camping because it won't get hurt in humidity and heat.
- Fender Stereo Pak Guitar Processor which includes chorus, overdrive, distortion and speaker simulation. Got it back in 1992 while traveling in the San Francisco area.
