I don't know how else to do it. There is a compound angle on the lower
cabinet. I got dizzy with my calculator. And, trying to explain it without
hard numbers to the cabinet maker was impossible.

> How many single row top cabinets you have got meanwhile on your main
cabinet? Two or three? 2 row slanted + Magic Bus is a bit lower than 10U I
guess. So with 12U on top of the wings you're at about the same height? I'm
getting dizzy! ;-) Plus, I get to experiment with the ergonomics.

Two of them. Some of the AHMW 2004 photos show three. But, the third
temporary. The cabinet was borrowed since I have been out of room in my
cabinets for some time. The bottom wing cabinets will be exactly like the
lower cabinet in height. 2 rows plus shorter (length) magic buss (TM) and
the stadium corner inverted triangle. The top cabinets will be a 12 U high
rack size cabinet which will equal the height of the existing TWO 1 row
cabinets. The goal is to have all the height the same.

manage to _play_ a modular system live in a way that it's more than just
stage decoration.

You and me both. :-)
