So my parents' terrible old 'Mozart' branded piano has finally bitten the dust... well, that happened a while ago but they've finally got round to replacing it. Looking at the sorry sack of strings, I couldn't help but think that even that knackered old thing is better-looking than my composition and practice setup - entirely digital, the Roland RD-700SX running through a computer into some meaty speakers. Cables galore, messy, black, out-of-control.
So I had a brainwave. My dad is a carpenter, my brother is an electronic engineer, I am a musician.... couldn't we put our heads together and figure out some way of getting all my ugly electronic equipment packed into the box of that old piano? With a window for a monitor, speakers, computer, effects, audio interface all mounted internally with some kind of door to access them, perhaps even some shelving put in for practice books?
It would be a pretty epic undertaking but could work if we all put our heads together... anyone done something similar, or know of someone who has?
