I was bored one weekend, so I replaced the plastic end cheeks on my Sequential Circuits Multi-Trak with wooden ones, which as we all know vastly improves the sound of any analog keyboard. This was completely non-destructive, as the end pieces are just screwed through to the sheet metal chassis. Anyway, here are some photos.


The finished product, with its buddy the Korg DW-8000 and the corner of the DR202 drum machine. (The fruity wallpaper isn't my fault; we rent.)

looks too much like a DX7.

looks more like its brother, the Six-Trak.

cheesy, versus...

...funky.

As you can see, not an exact copy. I didn't have a jigsaw so I couldn't make the inside corner.

Test fit before finishing.

These are made of some spare poplar I had left over from the top shelf of the rack you can see in the studio photos. They were finished with tung oil. It was an amazingly simple project (of course, since I actually completed it), except that I had to counter-bore the screw holes very close to the bottom because the plastic cheeks are much thinner than the wooden ones. This requires a brad-point drill bit and some patience. Not that anyone cares about any of this crap, but it was a nice diversion. Nyah.
