Ever the showman, Keith would toss these organs around onstage, pull it on top of himself and stab it with daggers. We certainly know something about this as well, so we re-approached The MET indicating that we also had one of Keith’s Hammond L-100 organs.
It may sound ridiculous, but the RRHoF never inducted Keith or Emerson, Lake and Palmer, or shown the appreciation of progressive rock in general, so we did not feel it appropriate to support their exhibit.Ī few weeks later, we read that The MET might be adding instruments that had been destroyed by musical artists on stage. We did not agree, however, to allow Keith’s gear to go to the final location for this exhibit, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. With the meeting going well, we agreed to loan The MET Keith’s Moog and Tarkus C3 organ for the run of the NYC show. This visit also gave us the opportunity to convince them to display Keith’s custom Hammond “Tarkus” C3 organ, which is just as epic as his Moog synth. This was a frustrating idea for us, as we would only have the Moog in-house for a few weeks before sending it off for an extended period of time. To learn more about this instrument, see our Step by Step Introduction to the Emerson Moog.Īfter many phone conversations and emails, we invited the curator of the Musical Instrument department down to EMEAPP for a tour, thinking it would make us feel more comfortable about shipping this epic monster to New York and making it disappear for eight months.
