Sounds unstable, but that makes it just sound wonderful. It's a matter of taste... Pls keep it as is...
Too bad it's not in Good Old Europe.

My big "bugaboo" is that he never shows the whole instrument, to the point it's gotta be intentional. It seems to play and function well, and the sounds are solid (albeit with a very audible "click" at the start of every note - might the start points be slightly out of adjustment?), but he never shows an inch of the control panel or the cabinet, except the small side panel by the keyboard... nothing but the low end of the keyboard. Most owners LOVE to show off their "babies." Gotta ask, what's he hiding?  From what he shows, it could be a "skele-tron" mounted on a bench somehow.  Maybe his kids finger-painted all over it. Maybe it's one of Wakeman's infamous "Flameotrons" with newer "innards!" It leads one to wonder... (to the dulcit sounds of very dark, mysterious, Crimson-esque violins, far away but right inside your brain... )

Ahhh, no.  We know what theirs look like.

Cheers!
