Dear all

Apologies for the belated response to all your responses... I'm playing in
Oslo, Norway around November/December (should be nice'n'cold!). Thanks for
all the suggestions - I suspect I'll end up asking for a Nord, although I'll
need to know it's got a decent, fairly strident string synth patch on board!
The Kurzweil's a good call, too. I'm sure the new Prophet's wonderful, but
won't do what I need at all, sadly. Amusing to note that NO-ONE recommended
anything Japanese! :-) Of course, now I'll find out that we're taking the
overnight ferry and I can take my full rig...

Thanks again,

Andy T.
