Music for real MEN!

Developing things a little, I reckon we all have our own opinion about which musical instrument is the most masculine. Strong cases can be made for the bass guitar, bagpipes, cello, and penny whistle, but I want to present you the masculine super-cool credentials of the KEYTAR.


What the blue blazes is a keytar? I hear you say....


Check it out, it's totally bitchin:

Modelled here by Steve Van Der Wilkinson of the Rotterdam Funk Jazz collective Sqootl. You can't be failed to be won over by its groovy sound, impressive lines and 'fuck you' energy. What makes the keytar uber-masculine is that they're no longer being mass produced so you have to rob someone to get one.

Popularised by New Wave groups such as Moog Liberation, the keytar was clearly too cool for school and was discontinued in 2007. Despite its current status as an obselete piece of retrokitsch, my new aim in life is to master the keytar. Has anyone got one to sell? If not I'll just soup-up a children's one with a sub-woofer. Just like Kid Carpet, who can be seen here taking a toy guitar to its limits in front of a crowd of bemused Bristol yokels.
