Peach?

I walked into a used instrument store in Edinburgh and saw That Famous 
Shape in a corner of the room. I approached it with some interest, and 
found that it had not only been painted a resilient shade of lime green, 
but that it was devoid of all mechanism and contained some appaling 
plastic keyboard guts which mimicked the sound of an M400 being played 
next door. In a bag. By a gorilla. In boxing gloves. And he's stone 
fucking deaf.

It was like committing your late grandmother to a funeral parlour and 
finding that they had turned her upside down, stuffed wires and bulbs up 
her genitals and were using her as a standard lamp.
