The Wiard Synthesizer Company is very happy announce
we have shipped ten (10) complete systems.
This is a very exciting event for us and has taken and
incredible amount of back-breaking and tedious hand assembly.
We would like to thank Gabe Catanzaro, Darwin Grosse,
Mike Firman, Rick Hake, the staff at Nova Musik, and all
our patient customers without whom this miracle
would not have been possible.
Unlike large corporations, Wiard started with
absolutely no money and just a burning desire
to bring out a new modular synthesizer before
the technology base completely disappeared.
The total production run of the Buchla Music Easel
was 15 systems. It is a sure bet now that there will
be as many Wiard systems as Music Easels,
significant because the Music Easel was the inspiration
for the Wiard system.
Thanks to everybody who understood that the high
cost was not a vicious plan to rip off the underpaid musician,
but an unavoidable consequence of putting an insane
amount of parts in each module (ten controls and 20 jacks
per module, what the hell was I thinking?)
Thank you for your support.
