Vintage Music Meets Modern Technology at EMEAPP in Harleysville

A vintage analog synth.

The wah-wah pedal guitar god Jimi Hendrix used to close out Woodstock in 1969 lives in Harleysville.

Hendrix history is not the only relic on display at the Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project — or EMEAPP — site. The keyboard Rick Wakeman used to record “Roundabout” with Yes lives nearby, as does Lindsay Buckingham’s Marshall amp and Led Zeppelin’s amplifier system. The location’s masterpiece, however, is the Moog system used by Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

According to WHYY, EMEAPP started four years ago by Vince Pupillo, who took his 20-year collection of music pieces and instruments and shared it with the public. Its 30,000-square-foot facility along Route 63 will soon be the site for musicians to use old recording equipment in a modern control room.
