The 'Duane Eddy Circle' tipped me off about the [hopefully] attached.Link...

Another look at the display that holds some real treasure. The three track machine, board and original mike that recorded Rebel Rouser.

The other clip...

Oh, look! It's the water tank...

It's a shame that after months of trying to get the curator to contacts us back about the potential for the Musical Instrument Museum to display a large collection of vintage Gretsch instruments from a celebrity collector (wink-wink), they just couldn't see their way clear to even respond to the proposal. At least they see the value in the Duane stuff.

This past weekend I was in Phoenix and stopped in at the Musical Instrument Museum. It's a really impressive museum, and definitely worth the trip. Of course, I bee-lined to the AZ musician section to see Duane's original Gretsch. For whatever reason, it wasn't on display, but the Howard double neck was as was the recording equipment and a few other items.

There was lots of other amazing stuff on display - modern and antique instruments from all over the world - I spent a lot of time admiring the exhibits and not so much taking photos. I did however have to get shots of Dick Dale's Showman and Reverb tank.
