Piano-wise... it is all very simple. My Bosie. 10" Bosendorfer. She is my baby. She is where I write. She is where I retreat after a rough day. She is where I celebrate on a good day.

Luckily, her cousin is at The Pic (Ian owns a Bosie too!) so I have a great piano to play when we play there.

Keyboards. I have a few that I inherited from our dear Ren. She was a tried and true Roland girl so I obtained a few lovely keys from her. I have normally favored Korgs and have a great Korg Trident workstation.

Effects? A few. I have a great rack that I also got from our dear Ren. In it? Yamaha SPX 1000 reverb. Electrix Filter Factory. A few Roland modules and some stompboxes that are connected via a Custom Audio Electronics footboard, similar to Ian's. What stomps? Line 6 POD Pro. A Line 6 DD4 (which was my doing) a Lovtone Meatball (it puts the FUN in FUNKY!) and a Lovetown Doppelganger. Pricey but darn worth it!

Violins/Viola's. In the electric vein, It is Zeta for me. Hey, if they work for Boyd Tinsley, they are good enough for me! I use the same rack and amp as I do for my keys. I have an A/B input and switch so we get the right signal at the right time.

Amps? Well that is a simple thing for me. I have always trusted the lovely clean tone of the Roland JC 120. Heavy little bugger, but mine'z has got wheels on it, so it is not so hard to get around. PLUS, I've a nice cart to put the entire load on and move from Van to Venue.
