It's the RV houston & lyon Keyboard (or a very good replica)

NO-ONE will pay that amount though IMO, waaaay too much LOL

Yes, but he says "will go to the persons who give the most".

How many of these are there. The one for sale is the same you see Jarre testing before the concert. The one he plays on at the concert has been modified and is not the same layout as the one he is seen testing.

Two things that stick out . . .

1/ This keyboard has black keys, Jarres Houston/Lyon did not. (I can understand the black keys being added at a much later date - but why add them)

2/ On this keyboard for sale, at the back of the keys the panel has 2 steps. Jarres has only the one step and that step is at an angle

I have just checked in Remilleux' biography.
In Lyon, the backs keys were added, this is exactly the same...

Of the 3 images I have posted, the middle one (looking down on Jarre), this is from the 'Concert De Images' book and credited as "Houston", but is has no black keys and no 2nd step on the keyboard casing. The 3rd image is of Jarre testing the keyboard in Houston (daylight) you can see the 2nd step and the black keys. So, does this mean the Houston image (2nd one I posted) been mislabeled in the book, meaning it should be Lyon instead of Houston.

I'd take the controller he used at Docklands (called insect or something?)any time...this junk is not my cup of tea... I thought Jarre owned all these creations in his personal collection together with his vintage stuff!?

I wonder if those black keys worked at all.

I don't think so, Jakob ;)
Yes, that's what I thought aswell, Mogwai, if I remember correctly, Gert said so ;)
