Clavia Nord Electro 73 Masquerades As A Rhodes Keyboard To Smuggle In More Gear

May 15, 2008
Gone in 54 Seconds

Stewart Cochran of 54 Seconds plays a Clavia Nord Electro 73 that's housed in Rhodes encasing, but he's not doing it just to look cool -- his sunglasses already have that covered. His casing helps him smuggle a sub-mixer and a laptop running Apple MainStage onto his rig, and it also provides a perch for an additional M-Audio keyboard as well.

With so many sources, Stewart always has a backup plan in case MainStage goes down (which has yet to happen, so go suck on an egg, John Hodgman). Still, you always should have a good backup plan when in six seconds, your band will be gone.
