Tom Szakaly is a virtuoso keyboardist and electronic instrument builder.
His band Noddy's Puncture is considered one of the best ELP cover bands in the world, and Keith Emerson himself made several appearances with them, maintaining a very strong friendship.
Tom Szakaly comments:
"Here is the Roland JD800 which I bought - smashed up and also with numerous issues both electronic and mechanical. It might not look 'as new' but it now plays great. I just couldn't see it end up scrapped...!"
And here's another video, with Keith Emerson playing. In this case, the JD-800 is used as a controller for a QSR and the Leslie speakers. Fantastic result.
