    This solar 50 will be playable in the museum btw :) LINK www.eltamusic.com/solar-50
    I'll be doing a nice big update on the museum very soon! Its finally looking like a museum, sorting out the last room filling it up as we speak. So hopefully if the situation in the uk doesn't change it should be about before 2020 is out! but i'm not holding my breath with all of these restrictions coming back in for the winter! But yeah it seems right to share these syndesizers for people to play :)

    I have seen Silk Road knock offs that seemed more legit.
    The website to order these pretty much looks like "please send bank transfer to Russia and then we'll send you an invoice." The poor quality of the site makes it seem like an invoice might be all you end up getting for $1,000+
    I'm sure the makers are lovely people. The thing looks and sounds awesome, but they have to find a better way to present how they are selling the thing because it just reeks of sketchiness and big scam vibes.
    I mean this in the best of ways because I don't want to see a good bit of kit suffer from an easy to fix issue like a website turning away potential buyers out if fear it's not on the up and up.

I love what you do and would love to know, other than what you add to your UA-cam channel, if you play in a band? I've made some wonderful discoveries lately and I wouldn't be surprised to like your compositions or your accompaniments. If not, would you have any artists to suggest to me and please, nothing from the USA. I've been a Depeche Mode fan for 30 years now, I discovered Royskopp and others whose name escapes me, but I prefer the British side of the music ... I am from Quebec and in the times we all live right now, music is more than therapy for me. Thank you for following my request and continue, you are talented and mysterious at the same time. A perfect combination. Thanks again.
