If you had the opportunity,which of Jarre's custom instruments from his concerts would you most like to have a go at playing?
I myself would love to have a go on the Laser Harp!

I am not the biggest fan of custom instruments but I would like to own the Yamaha KX-5 from Lyon and Houston.

Uh, I'm pretty sure he used it during Ron's Piece at Houston. I think.

No he didn't use the KX-5 at Houston, but it was there, I have no idea why he didn't use it, but it was there, seen in the short making of in the beginning.

Yes, you can see it when JMJ is showing how the clavier circulair works.

Maybe it's used for "Souvenir of China", "Oxygene 1, 2 or 4" or "Equinoxe part 2" ? :wink:

That is a possibility, as we don't know much about the performance of those tracks.

I have an camcorder-recording of "Rendez-vous Houston", but the quality is sometimes too bad to see on wish intruments Jarre plays (not the whole time, only sometimes)... :( :wink:

I'd certainly want to try them all! :D

Nah - if I had to pick just one, I'd try the laser harp, as those custom portables and big semi-circulars are existing instruments after all :)
