If modern day musical instrument makers had any balls they really

In most cases they are dumbed down, it always intrigues me that many of the 'classic' instruments are often the first attempt. These are the instruments that are still dangerous with rough edges and capabilities that are beyond 'safe'.
 
For example I still use a Roland D50, but later D synths were chopped right down because the D50 was seen as too complicated. Shame...
