Don't know exactly what it was, but the thing had no front and looked like he dragged it out of a dumpster. I wondered at the time about doing his tuning - wouldn't be surprised if he requested some kind of not-so-well temperament tuning!

Yeah... the big band he's traveling with call themselves... you got it... Crazy Horse !  He still does the old upright thing. That was on stage too but they didnt want it tuned. Kind of a honky tonk sounding / playing thing... gets tuned every 5 - 6  gigs. No front and fits your description nicely :) They also had what looked to be an old wooden pipe organ, or perhaps just a real ornate
looking reed organ. Couldnt see it real well whilst I was on stage and hadnt the time to check it out, and I had to go before it was used so I didnt get to hear the thing.

I understand from that provebial little bird that whispers in our ears from time to time, that you especially would have just loved the concert Terry :)

Cheers
