Bearded Holländers, a droning Hammond, classical melodies and a 4001, what's not to like?!



Horns and no guitar. Cool!

Some of those Ric glows are serious pieces of art. There's gradations on the sides , neck and headstock . It's not just the front and back.

Yeah, they sadly seem to have stopped doing that fairly recently. My '93 4003S/8 FireGlo isn't perfect, but it's beautiful.

I take it then that Ekseption were an unknown quantity in the US! In Germany, you could pretty much put a bet on it that anyone who owned ELP and The Nice albums in the late 60s/early 70s, also had something from Ekseption. They even had hit singles and albums (in The Netherlands and Germany) with some of their classical adaptions.





All these bands ultimately go back to this guy here:





Ekseption were the kind of band where your music teacher in school would say: "Well, these guys can at least play!"

Rob, are you related with the Ekseption trumpet player Rein van den Broek?

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I never liked bursted sides. Sunburst started as a nod to old violin tops that get darker near the edges. Obviously I'm in the minority opinion on this but bursting the edges makes no sense to me, logically or aesthetically. Same for bursted Ric headstocks. YMMV
