Very nice, must have taken a long time but worth the effort. How about adding guitar effects pedals? They are wonderful beasts and often not understood by non-musicians. |

They're often not understood by guitarists either.  |

Alright I have added an entry for effect pedals (not going into many details, the interested reader can search for more by himself). I have also taken the occasion to add a mention about the curious (albeit admittedly not really relevant for Prog) 10-string configuration of the BC Rich Bich 10 guitars. BTW I just realised that there are 131 pictures in the article Edited by Gerinski - March 23 2013 at 09:15 |

Awesome thread
 If you want to add guitar amps, I think Hiwatt amps could be added as they were used by David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson, Steve Hackett, Martin Barre, Peter Banks, Gary Green and Robert Fripp (and more I suppose...)     Edited by Anaon - March 24 2013 at 11:02 |

Great pics there! Not sure if I will attempt to write about the amps, I don't know much about it, of course I know the main brands, Hiwatt, Marshall, Laney, Mesa Boogie, Supro, Ampeg, Vox or Hughes & Kettner (mine is one of the later) but I'm not really an expert, I should need some research in order to write something making sense. Maybe some day  Of course anyone more expert than me is welcome to write another blog 'An Illustrated Guide to Prog common Amps'

Well, I understand... It's just that in my quest for sound, I noticed that all these prog guitar players used the Hiwatt, I never noticed that before but I thought then it's kind of a prog amp
Again, great post!! |

Bravo - tons of work went into this - love the pre-mellotron info - and all the great early synths.
Cheers! |

I love the OP and the work that went into it.
My class is working on the history of instruments right now on an assignment and some of that info would help. What is the history of the guitar? It began with medieval instruments such as the lute or mandoliin and developed from there. Of equal importance was the Oud and the guitarra moresca. I teach guitar and the students are citing these instruments in their projects. These photos are earliest use of guitar:   Its all part of the progression of music - and as always its interesting to know where the music comes from.

I have updated the Mellotron entry to include the rare models T550, 4-Track and M4000 (the analog version by Streetly) and taken the occasion to throw some light in the mess of the different company names involved in the Mellotron business (Mellotronics, Streetly, Sound Sales, Novatron, the new Swedish Mellotron...).

The sad news of Ray Manzarek's passing away prompted me to update the Rhodes entry to include the Piano Bass famously played by him.

Added Pat Metheny's Orchestrion, 8-string basses and fretless guitars, and a couple of minor updates here and there.

This is my new bible. Plain and simple.
Can't believe all of Klaus Schultze's equipment. It's about as complex and diverse as Bozzio's drum kit.

I edited the Hohner Clavinet entry to mention also the Pianet with a couple of pics of Robert Fripp and Peter Hammill using this instrument.
Also the RMI entry has been extended to include some more info and pics. Edited by Gerinski - July 08 2013 at 09:56 |

An Iona clip posted elsewhere prompted me to add a new entry for the bagpipe / uilleann pipe.

^ Since you are going that far, how about the instruments that Gryphon used (krumhorns and such) ? Gentle Giant and PFM?

 (never been too fond of Folk Prog), and I had to search to find out what a krumhorn is (double ).
But who knows, maybe as I learn more these may get a place in my article too
