THANK YOU , MERCI , DANKE , GRAZIE , AGRADECIMIENTOS ..........
TRACT 01
.......... for all of your - and entirely positive - statements to the point EBOARDMUSEUM . Be that as mails , calls or personal visits .
As you easily may imagine , a project like the EBOARDMUSEUM causes
1.) lots of fun
2.) lots of stress
3.) lots of work .
Therefore any kind of encouragement is heartily welcomed !
So let me say THANK YOU , MERCI , DANKE , GRAZIE , AGRADECIMIENTOS .......... and don't stop it !!!
TRACT 02
.......... to the MASTER OF DUST , GERHARD RAINER , for his selfless help in cleaning the instruments at the EBOARDMUSEUM . Even with greatest care you can't avoid that gathering dust - particularly during the past renovation of the EBOARDMUSEUM :-(
If it weren't him :
GERHARD , THE DUSTINATOR !!!
TRACT 03
.......... to MICHAEL HANF from Germany for his additional information about the ECHOLETTE BEAT SPINETT !
TRACT 04
.......... to PETER MAYR from Barcelona . The Number One Organist from Spain not only accompanies the EBOARDMUSEUM from the very beginning , but beyond this became some kind of member of the family . And finally he displays one of his Hammonds - a marvellous HAMMOND BC at the EBOARDMUSEUM .
Although - Someone , who puts an OB XA vertically into the corner of a truck [ without flightcase !!! ] , that can't be a good man .......... :-)
TRACT 05
.......... to MANFRED JAMMER . He not only is a virtuoso musician , but also an equivalent engineer . His mission regularly starts , when the repertoire exceeds terms like heating voltage , emitter and triac .
Oh , and Schaltnetzteil .......... :-)
TRACT 06
.......... to REINHARD STROMMER , who himself is an expert for pipe organs und harmoniums , for contributing his extensive relations to the EBOARDMUSEUM in a godlike manner .
In a godlike manner ?
Yeah that's true , if a graduated theologian gives his benediction to a den of iniquity :-)
TRACT 07
.......... to MIKAEL LINDGREN from Sweden . He not only represents the ultimate encyclopedia for combo - organs , but obviously also for console - instruments , whose typeplate got lost . So he could free a GALA DE LUXE at the EBOARDMUSEUM from its longstanding anonymity . Thank you , thank you , thank you - in the name of the holy FARFISA !
TRACT 08
.......... to EDGAR LUTZ . He not only is a confidential friend of mine , but also since years regularly donates his stage - tested and entirely museum - worthy equipment to the EBOARDMUSEUM . For free !!! A big , big " thank you " !!!
TRACT 09
During the past renovation it's been very risky to do a visit at the EBOARDMUSEUM ! Hardly no one made it to leave the museum without being confronted with a phrase like : " Could you be so kind helping me to lift the .......... , and here to carry the .......... " .
In this context specials thanks to HARRY , ROLF and TOM from the BEACHBAND , as well as to GUENTHER , HERBERT and ROMAN from HARDWARE ! If you like we should meet to raise a gl... - Noooo , it's not what you think !!!
TRACT 10
.......... to MONTANUNIVERSITAET LEOBEN . This university did valuable researches on the occasion of producing reeds for WURLITZER PIANOS by the EBOARDMUSEUM . The reeds can be ordered HERE !
TRACT 11
.......... to PAUL DOUJAK , who placed an enormous quantity of original documents from the EKO factory at the EBOARDMUSEUM's disposal !
According to the principle : EKO ??? Ecco ! Grazie !!! Prego .
TRACT 12
.......... to KONRAD HANTEN from Sinnl & Hanten , the first adress in Vienna in servicing musical electronics , for lending important service documents to the EBOARDMUSEUM !
TRACT 13
.......... to GERALD DANIEL . He not only is an excellent sound - aesthete , but also over and over again provides the EBOARDMUSEUM with news and his extensive knowledge in matters of synthesizers ! Such kind of people are required in the world of oscillators ! Gerald , please go on .....
TRACT 14
.......... to HANS EDER . Hans left the - not only seen from a technical view sensational - electrostatic DEREUX - organ to the EBOARDMUSEUM for free . Including the transport from Germany !!! Merci bien , monseigneur Jean Éder , says DER Österreicher Gerard Prix !
TRACT 15
.......... to MARC + MONIKA MICHALZIK . Round midnight on a gloomy parking place on the edge of the Black Forest they lifted two rotating organ cabinets to the bus of the EBOARDMUSEUM , and subsequently shook the EBOARDMUSEUM up . Slow and Fast - and free of charge !!! With this the M & M's once again showed their best , their chocolate side :-)
TRACT 16
.......... to the legendary styrian musician FLORIBERT NEUMANN . He overcame his inhibitions and treated his longstanding companion , the ARMON PIANO , his residence at the EBOARDMUSEUM .
It's a complete mystery to me , why he doesn't do the same to his T 8 ......... :-)
TRACT 17
.......... to THOMAS MLYNEK , whose puppy love ELEKTOR FORMANT now lingers at the EBOARDMUSEUM ! Brought and installed by the Master himself !!!
Thanks a lot !!!!!
Hmm - strange : There's something classic about this posing next to a modularsystem .......... :-)
TRACT 18
.......... to SEPP " STORMY" STURM , whose various objects on loan brought fresh air [ If someone didn't notice it till now : Yes , I love puns !!! ] to the EBOARDMUSEUM .
But that the professional musician and flying instructor from Landeck delivered his gear by a tandem glider , this still is a rumour that's not verified yet ..........
TRACT 19
.......... to WALTER URESCH , who took pity on the EBOARDMUSEUM , and donated a real alternative to HAMMOND - Organs , FENDER - Amps and LESLIE - Cabs by the ton : His WERSI HAND ROLL PIANO , that also can be used as towel on the beach of Malibu .
And by the way , whose Happy Birthday demo is offering new dimensions in the broad field of harmony ..........
Sensational ! But didn't we all know it so far , that even programmers partake freely of alcohol from time to time ?-)
TRACT 20
.......... to RAJ BAHAUDEEN from Sri Lanka . Not only being an unbelievable great and passionate performer , it was also him , who - about in the year 1982 - caused G.P. [ within the EBOARDMUSEUM among other things responsible for providing coffee ] getting absolutely mad , seeing Raj performing Stevie Wonder's Lately with his MOOG LIBERATION .
And it's exactly this MOOG LIBERATION that G.P. now sees every time when carrying sugar cubes to condensed milk at the EBOARDMUSEUM .
Naturally only as an object on loan !
No , not the sugar cubes ..........
TRACT 21
.......... to FRANK ZUNDERER from Gilching near Munich . He moved a HOHNER CLAVINET L from a flea market to the EBOARDMUSEUM .
Now in his honour every day at 7 o'clock we strike up the Flea Waltz ! Exclusively on white keys !!!
How is this possible ?
Well , this is shown daily at 7 o'clock at the EBOARDMUSEUM .......... :-)
TRACT 22
.......... to FRITZ FUCHS from Eitensheim , who left original documents from a prominent Japanese manufacturer to the EBOARDMUSEUM , that are essential to surviving . Domo arigato gosaimashita !!!
TRACT 23
.......... to little HANNAH , living quite close to Bremen . She gave preference to moral more safely violin - lessons , so that the FARFISA VIP 400 from the band QUERBEAT of her daddy STEFAN KELLER could be presented to the EBOARDMUSEUM !
Hannah ahead of starting her career at the Bremer Stadtmusikanten :-)
