Music
I didn't show much interest in music as a child. My junior school offered recorder and violin lessons, and I knew a couple of kids who had piano lessons or dabbled with guitars, but traditional instruments didn't really appeal to me. It was only when the synthesiser, as used by Gary Numan and the like, burst into mainstream music in 1979, that I became interested and set about constructing my first synth; a Transcendent 2000.
In the years that followed I dabbled with various aspects of electronic music and came to have a greater appreciation of traditional instruments too. These pages describe the instruments I own plus others that I have owned but have had to part with; usually due to a lack of space following some house move or other.
