Gear Fan - Instrument List


I love musical equipment! If you are visiting this page, then chances are that you do as well.
This is a list of some of the gear that my music friends and I have used over the years, sometimes to produce Etcetera music, sometimes not. There are links to detailed descriptions of selected pieces of equipment that I have found interesting enough to write more about in detail.
As you can see, we have always used whatever was around at the time, and we do not dismiss gear just for being of the budget variety.
