Yamaha Electone MC400

Saw this posted on my local Freecycle site yesterday. As it was only 2 miles away, I went to have a look. It was in a sheltered housing facility and the owner passed away recently. It was on the point of being dumped in a skip. It is in almost new condition but the thing that caught my attention were the Bass Pedals. Being an old bass player I have always wanted to try playing with my feet. Being an outdated model it of course does not have the facilities of my Tyros 3 which I no longer play. As my arthritis has only reached my big toes so far, I can use my feet and forget about my hands and wrists for the present. Who knows, this might rekindle some enthusiasm in me to return to playing before my arthritis cripples me. I will not be able to upload any successful efforts I may have as the Electone is from the cassette recorder era.

Hi Ron,

You remind me of the bass player we used to have in the band. I love a good bass! Music couldn't live without a bass player.

What I would love to be able to do is to send you something I have played without any bass on it .. and for you to put in a bass part for the song. Put the two files together using Audacity ... ???
