One of the times Patrick and I discussed the triple which I played, he was not happy about the instrument he had poured a lot of money into.
The last time I saw the instrument, it had been broken down to where the face plate was the only recognizable component.
Very nice guy he is.
Works out of Full Sail studios in Orlando about 75 miles from me.
 
Best,

That's interesting. Moraz was so (allegedly) over the moon about it that
he was prepared to stick his name up in the advertising for the
instrument, etc etc. The problem with the Orchestron was that it sounded
∗rubbish∗. What were they thinking? And more to the point, what were the
musicians thinking when they eventually heard it?
