fav instruments
1971 A. Dotras Cordoba Classical guitar
1972 Aria Classical guitar
Man, these Classical guitars sound awesome, I just wish they still had the strings from the 70's. When I first found them, they sounded super dark and mysterious, and the strings were actually darker in color.
1970s Casiotone 701 Keyboard
This thing is the shit. 8 note polyphony, faux wood paneling, great organ sound, 2 forms of vibrato.

oldest piece of gear i have in regular use would be my jh buckbee banjo, made in the late 1800's.
oldest studio gear might be a pair of rft pm750 mics, a couple of auditronic channels, and a couple of neve 33421 channels that i think are all late '70s and early '80s.
i have a fair amount of early '80s synths and drum machines.
so, only my banjo is interestingly old.

...and the second guitar I ever bought, a Yamaha SA-15 which dates from the late 60's and I've owned and loved since I rescued it from a jewelry pawnshop in 1988.

A Maccaferri plastic guitar, from approximately 1953:

It's been sitting in storage since 1992; since we put it in storage the tailpiece broke such that it now hangs slack from the strings. I will do some kind of mend and get it back into service one of these days.
My sister has a violin which was made in 1780-something. 1781 I think.
