A collection of studio gear belonging to late British DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall is now up for auction. His family is selling 12 pieces of his production arsenal via Soundgas, including sequencers, vintage synths and pedals.
The auction is now live, and is scheduled to end Sunday May 11 at 11pm BST. Highlights of the collection include a Roland Juno-60, Moog Rogue, Dunlop TS-1 Stereo Tremolo pedal, and an Ensoniq DP/4 parallel effects processor. There’s also a Roland Rhythm TR-77 drum machine, a Sequential Circuits Pro synth, and a Tech 21 Comptortion pedal.
Andrew’s brother Ian says the family’s intention with the sale is to get his gear into the hands of musicians so it can continue to be used for music making.
“We have kept [Andrew’s] whole archive/possessions in storage, with plans for display/exhibition in the near future,” Ian writes. “Musical equipment does not appreciate being stored away, unused, for great lengths of time… and with that in mind we have instructed Soundgas, as experts in their field, to help us re-home Andrew’s collection.”
He says it’s important that Andrew’s gear continues to be used to “create, push boundaries, but above all, see the light of day, and be cherished by people who recognise Andrew’s contributions to music and beyond”.
“This is what Andrew would have wanted, so if you are successful in purchasing anything sold here, please cherish the fact that you own something of Andrew’s,” Ian concludes.
Many of the items have already seen bids, with the Moog Rogue sitting at a bid of £1,029.99 (significantly past its estimate of £500-£750). The Roland Juno-60 currently sits at a bid of £1,600, but bear in mind there’s still two days to go, so they’re likely to go for quite a bit more.
