"You have to treat them like a fine acoustic guitar or violin."


Personally, I don't find the "Stradivarius" analogy too over-the-top. No
matter how you slice it, there's only a couple thousand of these amazing
boxes on the planet.

Although, for pragmatic reasons, I stick with my custom "Jon-O-Tron" (TM!)
Korg patches on stage. Unless I am getting paid BIG bucks to play for a
large audience on a large stage, I couldn't bear the thought of putting my
baby in the line of fire of drunken louts uncaringly spilling beer on her.
