How about my set up 40 years ago:
Small rooms:My electrified accordion with a Sano amp..

Medium rooms: My Electricfied accordion with a Sano amp..

Large rooms: My electricfied accordion with a Sano amp..

Things were so simplified then...

BTW, I still have my electricfied accordion and Sano amp..Talk about a return on your investment [Frank R.]..

Fran, you are a smart guy. There is something to be said for your setup or any other acoustic instrument setup and amplification. You see if everyone switched to Tuba there would be no need for understanding all the cumbersome midi/electronic/data stuff. You just blow into it and hope everyone can hear you and is happy about it. Oh my did I say that???

However, when you make to much money and the government does not know how to get it and divide it - that's where you need Robin Hood. This is where Fran and his friends need a good deal of help - don't you think???
