Hi all.

Many years ago, Leonard Choen also used a arranger keyboard,
a Technics KN live on stage while his musicians took a rest.
I remember I was very amazed by that "onemanband-show" when
he played and sang a song by use of a simple style as accomp
and did perform as a "one man band".
This concert was broadcast on TV, and I think it was in the
second half of the 80's.

Happy Plying
GJ

I downloaded the PSR 450 manual from Yamaha and found pictures of the back of the keyboard. It has the exact same input/output sockets that the video shows. I believe that it must be a PSR 450... AND DANG-IT! EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TO BELIEVE IT TO!

It sure looks like your picture TwoNuts, the speakers in the same place and the mod wheel.
I'll have to stick covers over all my keyboards and demand that I take them off when I get some sponsorship hehe, looks like he doesn't want to give any free advertising away.

I tend to think that the floppy drive cutout and placement really define this keyboard. It really stands out in the video. I couldn't find any other keyboard that had these characteristics all together.

Dennis

I believe it!



I too remember seeing Leonard Cohen use the Technics arranger on a PBS show called, Austin City Limits in 1989. The song was, The Tower of Song.

Was I the only one who felt sea-sick watching the video (...and listening to the song?)

Vikings usually don't get seasick Andrea, but maybe airsick feels pretty close?
