New Yamaha 40th Anniversary Washi Drumset



Sale Price:
US $6,299.00

For 40 years, Yamaha Drums has handcrafted renowned products that enable musicians to fully express their unique sounds. To commemorate this milestone, Yamaha Drums issues a 40th Anniversary Washi Drum Set at Winter NAMM 2007. Wrapped with washi paper (a type of Japanese paper used in traditional Japanese arts), the limited edition drum set's artwork depicts scenes from the Genpei War, which threw Japan into tumult from 1180 to 1185.

"This limited edition drum set draws on the rich history of Japan and the heritage of Yamaha Drums," said Dave Jewell, marketing manager, Yamaha Drums, Pro Audio & Combo Division. "The Genpei War is the most famous clash known in Japanese culture and was a pivotal point in Japanese history. It is only fitting that we put this important design on this special kit."

The Genpei War between the Taira and the Minamoto clans established the Kamakura Shogunate, the first Shogun to wield power nationwide, marking the rise of samurai power and the suppression of emperor reign. In the aftermath of the war, the colors of the Taira and Minamoto standards, red and white, respectively, were established as Japan's national colors, as reflected in the country's flag.

Several spectacular battles of the Genpei War have been represented in various Japanese artworks. Yamaha used scenes depicted in a hand-painted paneled screen that is displayed in the Takamatsu Historical Museum in Japan as a basis for the washi wrap. In the artwork and on the drumset, the gilded golden clouds provide a striking contrast to the dark blue sea water, while the vivid colors on the armor of the soldiers and horses draw the viewers into each battle sceneCosmetically, the kit is in excellent condition. This kit has never been taken out of the boxes.

Most Expensive Lead Guitars

Rare Gibson Firebird One Of A Kind w / Documentation



Sale Price:
US $10,000.00


Very Rare! ONE OF A KIND, Gibson Firebird Celebrity Series Guitar. This is the ONLY ONE in existence with a ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD. The original Celebrity Series Firebirds were made with ebony fingerboards and were limited to a production of only 200. This guitar was made to replace one of the originals which I received in damaged condition. By mistake, or accident, the builders used rosewood instead of ebony for the fingerboard. Rather than tear the guitar apart and have them put an ebony fingerboard on it, I opted to keep the rosewood and they created a special document to accompany the guitar and then the president of Gibson signed it. Subsequently, and a pleasant surprise I might add, the rosewood fingerboard actually sounds better than the ebony version. Guitar has never been played out, and only diddled on a handful of times since purchased some 17 or so years ago. Comes with signed certificate of authenticity(pictured) and original premium Gibson hardshell case with plush, purple lining.
