Just wondering what these instruments are

[codec_spurt]

Are they even real?




Obviously we are talking about the stuff in the background on the wall and not the guitars.

Of course.

I would bet that they are used broadcast equipment simply stuck up there to make the background look mod and groovy and high tech.

In the comments it said it was a performance for Playboy After Dark.

Designing the music 'play' room, which was located left of the main room's staircase, the rear translucent wall had electronic panels, gadgets, reel to reel tape machines, vinyl record turntables, monitors simulated as a disk jockeys play pen. Maxwell Smith had an electronic "used equipment" storage store in Santa Monica where his purchases were stored and sold. Max would salvage all the NASA space program's equipment, which was automatically replaced after each space launch. All the electronics in Hefner's music play room was from these space launches. The production designer joked that Hef could send us all to the moon with a push of a button.

Interesting. It's very much a sixties aesthetic with the custom paneling providing an integrated "built in" look. Oh, and great f**king song.

This song is now on my "yes it's another annoying acoustic guitar singalong jam session that's keeping the neighbors up too damn late and their about to call the cops" list.

And here's the best cover I've found so far, very nice.

Look carefully...in the middle section right at the top-left there is an....Akai S900 sampler.

Busted!

I think you'll find it's a 950 though.

Good catch anyway!

Best song Dylan never recorded properly.

This is the best cover I could find apart from his bootlegs:



The mighty Mike Sinatra. Class. And no Akai in sight.

Plays a pretty mean harmonica too.
