About This Project

The keyboard collection alone tells a story. A 1920s Melin and Sons grand piano — nearly a century old, still singing. A Hammond A-100 with Leslie 122. A Wurlitzer 200A. A Hohner Clavinet D6. A Deagan Glockenspiel. Instruments that between them account for the sound of gospel, soul, R&B, rock, and jazz across the entire recorded era.

Then there’s the Indian corner — two harmoniums, a Shahi Baaja, and a Raagini electric sitar, all sourced directly from India. We’ve traveled there extensively over the years and the instruments that came back with us have found their way into sessions in ways nobody planned and everybody loved.

The synth and drum machine collection runs from the deeply vintage to the genuinely strange. A Sequential Circuits Prophet 600. A Roland Juno 106. A Mellotron M4000d — the tape-based keyboard that defined Strawberry Fields and The Rain Song and every piece of music that sounds like a dream you can’t quite remember. A Sound Transform System SERGE modular. A Therevox ET 4.3. A Dewatron Swarmatron — one of approximately 100 ever made, hand-crafted, powered on with a car key, built specifically for cinematic textures that exist nowhere else.

Plus the Folktek collection, a Roland TR-707, a Stylophone, an Omnichord, and things that are genuinely difficult to categorize.

We’ve spent decades collecting instruments from the edges of what’s possible — the rare, the hand-built, the culturally specific, the genuinely strange. Not because clients ask for them, but because music made in this room tends to find its way to sounds that don’t exist anywhere else.

If you need something unusual, ask. It’s probably here.
