Looks like I have to go up to LA tomorrow. I got a call from Stevie Wonder's Mick Parrish, numero uno D6 clavinet got back from Korea with some monkey pulling out the balanced XLR jack out of the rear. Mick didn't go to Korea this time so the locals had a field day.
So, it's up to the Nokia Theater manana to fix it up before the "Toys for Twats" benefit.
Funny, all the vintage keyboards he used are still there in LA, but in storage or at Wonderland. Only the D6's are still taken out on the road. Apparently, there is no substitution for those even though the Yammy Motifs has taken over the Rhodes duties on the road.
One thing I have done but not mentioned is the internal grounding. Due to poor power feeds and stage lighting, the pickups in the D6's are prone to buzz pickup. I have lined the internal case with conductive copper foil tape. That has created an enclosed metal box with the lid closed. Yes, it's a bit of effort as the harp must be removed, but it solves problems on the road.
