Auction for Florian Schneider's instruments

First, I think their estimated values are well within reason and some are actually on the low side for the products listed. I’m sure many will go for much more than the estimated value, and if I wasn’t already plumping a crazy pile of dough on a vintage synth in two weeks, I’d be considering bidding on an item or two.

Second… I did not realize Herr Schneider was such a snazzy dresser! :star_struck:

Plus you will need another 840 to cover the 28% buyers premium. And that also does not include taxes.

The fun fact that Kraftwerk pretended that before Autobahn there was nothing, so the first albums (and a short period when 2/3rd of the band were actually Klaus and Michael who formed Neu!) won’t ever be officially released. I like their early period much more. On rare live records from 70’s (could be found on Youtube) it’s even clear how they did they invent their later sound, like Ruckzuck and Kling-Klang were performed on Moogs instead of flute and drums and it apparently transformed into sound of Autobahn and Trans Europe Express, etc. Both these tracks were on almost every live record even sometimes around 1980, … and they just erased that period in the middle of 90’s.
Sorry, I have very mixed feelings about them.

I think it’s really a shame what they did to the album artwork which is now the only version on streaming services. Total historical revisionism and erasure of the whole visual side of the band which made them even more interesting. When I first got into them in the '90s the only thing I could find at the time was The Mix and Computer World I think everything else was out of print at least in the US until there was a good reissue campaign in the late 90s.
