The classic hyperbole is indicative of Scientology’s portrayal of Hubbard. This paragraph is something I have first hand knowledge.

“The many facets of LRH’s talents and pursuits are evident everywhere in his office. An avid composer who mastered many instruments as well as recording technologies, LRH regularly performed on his Kemble piano, Wurlitzer organ and Mellotron electronic keyboard.”
BS. I worked with Hubbard in several music groups on the Apollo in 1974. I also wrote an original instrumental that was somewhat sophisticated for its time while on the ship. A piece called BOLT FROM THE BLUE.
If he really could play and compose he would have hammered out melodies or chord progressions and rhythms for us. He was not an avid composer. He was not even a hummer. The Apollo Stars album was his level of direction. Not very musical.
Hubbard set the pattern of lying about himself and his minions follow that formula religiously to this day.
All hat and no cows, that's Hubbard. Dozens of cameras, no good shots. Musical instruments all over the place, couldn't play a note. Super expensive mix boards like the Neve and the Massenburg, couldn't mix anything that sounds better than "Windsplitter".
The real crime is that old Neve mix board with the Stephens 16 track recorder. That was a real classic mobile recording rig. Supposedly he used it to record himself with 12 microphones! Anyone who has ever set up a mic knows that more than one microphone gives you phase shift effects, frequency dropouts, weird effects when you turn your head a little. One microphone for a vocalist or a well setup stereo pair (like the Telefunken Stereo Mic). Not twelve!
I've seen that 12 mic setup. Looks like a cat scratching post with the old screw mounts for goosenecks all over it. At the Int Base they had it set up with a teddy bear for his "audience" and an ancient Apple II or some such as a teleprompter. I don't think he actually ever recorded anything in there. But Dave sure burned cash and lives of slaves setting it up!
Absolutely. Hubbard thought owning the best gear made him a musician. To this day scientology media production music is flat and soulless. Somewhat functional and that passes as successful.

“All hat and no cows.”! I haven’t heard that one in decades! 😂
