Many thanks are owed to Roadie Joe Barnes, Ed King, various members of the EK board, Lynyrd Skynyrd Dixie, the Outlaws Official message board, and the various videos, photographs, and interviews that I have found have all helped me to fill out this list to this extent. And to the old “Official Lynyrd Skynyrd Message Board” which got the ball rolling.

BILLY POWELL’S EQUIPMENT HISTORYPianos

Wurlitzer Electric Piano44 keysNotes:

Yamaha Concert D-6Made in JapanUsed for Workin for MCA, Swamp Music, and Same Old Blues during the 70’s

1953 Steinway and Sons Concert Piano Model B7 ft lengthHas two of them - one black finish, one whiteNotes:

To get the effect he wanted, he added a length of balsa to the neck of his guitar, and another to the bridge to make a Silvertone bass out of this guitar

Basses1950’s Fender Jazz Bass
