Floyd’s quad consoles on the auction block

Posted November 17, 2010 by Floydian Slip

The handmade quadraphonic mixing consoles used by Pink Floyd on the band’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” and “The Division Bell” tours will be auctioned off next month.

Bonhams in London’s Knightsbridge will sell the items on behalf of Britannia Row Productions Dec. 15 as part of an entertainment memorabilia auction.

A percentage of the proceeds for the sale will go to concert industry charity Stage Hands.

The day’s catalog will eventually be placed online at the Bonhams site.
