Darius is finally bidding farewell to his old battered composing keyboard. It seems that some of the lower end notes have given up from years of abuse. Some of the circuit boards have corroded. The upper octaves play ok. We have been told that they can be replaced/fixed if you have the know-how, money or patience. There are about 7-10 notes that are not playing.

The keyboard itself is fairly battered as you can see from the photos. Personalised by Darius with just some of the names of the tracks that he composed on this beast. We are simply looking for a loving home for this memorabilia.

We have also thrown in a few old tour laminates that Darius has signed.

So, how do you get your hands on this piece of art?
