All those shows and no issues of any kind!

Perry Winston owner of BIR (Best Instrument Rentals – New York) says:

…We selected the Speakeasy products because we needed bullet proof reliability and true vintage tone. We depend on these leslies every day for TV shows, concerts and recording sessions in NYC. Steve Hays has built an excellent product and I know I can count on him for the support 24/7/365

Speakeasy has had the honor of having it’s Vintage Tube Preamp chosen to be used with a vintage Leslie tone cabinet on two different programs on ABC and NBC.

Speakeasy’s preamp will be teamed up with a 122 for use by the house bands for both ABC’s "Dancing with the Stars" and NBC’s "America’s Got Talent".

Speakeasy welcomes this newest member of our family, and is grateful for their consideration.

Speakeasy has taken the last few months of high power rotary cabinet development and combined it with it’s Solutions Speaker Systems to create a comprehensive modular speaker line for keyboardists of all musical disciplines. (more…)

The Grand 200 is a classic Wurlitzer Electro-piano, re-manufactured by Speakeasy, with a recolored top in your choice of colors. Same top notch re-manufacturing as always and the top is professionally re-colored using multi-layered base coat and covered with a multi-layered clear coat for years of durability.

Unlike any “homemade” jobs you may have seen, this isn’t going to be flaking and chipping of the cover.

Steve sat down this week and did some on camera playing of a crusty old A100 from our “Boneyard” piped through the Roadbox III (SE122) and Submon subwoofer. This “roadbox system” really kicks ass as the organ’s speaker system – So if you have a good clone, and wonder what our speaker sounds like, check out the video!

Special thanks again to Joe Tracey for coming by to play with the new cabinet.

We’ve taken the now popular Roadbox MKIII and designed a new edition especially for guitar players. Now you can get that famous rotary speaker sound in a NEW piece of gear using YOUR amplifier, and as an added bonus it comes with an additional foot switch to switch between our two way rotary speaker system and a straight connection to the 12″ speaker. If your fav amp is an amp head, this is the only speaker you’ll need.
