Banks used one of the smaller "spinet" Hammonds (T500, I think), whereas Emo used the full console C3, which after being used (abused?) constantly used to develop what some players consider a fault - the 'key-click'(hence clicky-organ??); many players love this so called fault & later digital Hammonds have 'key-click' as a setting...

Personally, I own one of my dream instruments, a 1971 Hammond L122 & Leslie 145 combination (and no, I can't play it very well... ) - all I need now is the Mini Moog, Prophet V, Fender Rhodes Piano & Mellotron and my dreams are complete.

Digital Keyboards? Bah!

Carl Palmer's custom built stainless steel set by Ludwig he used on the Welcome Back and Works tours. The bass drum alone weighed 300lbs! He eventually sold it to Ringo who donated to the R&R Hall of Fame. Which I have yet to go up there and check it out.

Actually whatever would go for the most on ebay, like an Elvis guitar or something.

Wright's Farfisa. I'm an organ player, I have an old Wurlitzer, and I would love to have a farfisa and if it could be anyone's, it would be Wright's from when Syd was in the band. Ofcourse it would have to come with their Azimuth Coordinator.

A minimoog stacked on an Hammond organ stacked upon a Mellotron.

And something behind it to prevent that whole heap from falling on me.

I'd go for either Keith Emerson's modular moog simply because its so enourmous and intimidatingly complex or Jimmy Page's Gibson, an gorgeous piece of work and sounds intensely good.


John Bonham's Vistalites, or Billy Cobham's acryllic Fibes set, as well as:
