Mild Slopes: Roland Harpsichord

Roland Harpsichord

Look at this old Roland harpsichord. It's charming. And the space around it is very nice too. It looks like a great little nook to write songs in. Someday I'd like to acquire such a nook of mine own.

Any idea why the key colors are reversed? It certainly does look neat.

It's all about the little nook.

Not sure if this is your kinda thing or not..?

'Cause it's a harpsichord, they always have inverted keys.

. . . Towards a Quaker View of Synthesizers

This blog is about electronic music instruments made by the Roland corp. in the late 70's and early 80's (mostly pre-MIDI instruments that deal in wholesome CV and Gate signals). It's also about my conversion to Quakerism, my fondness for C.S. Lewis, The Epcot Center, eggnog, oatmeal flavored soap, etc, etc. Herein I will try to connect the real or imagined dots between them.
Bits of comedy throughout.
