Axel,

I am sorry for the delay and your aggravations. Schneider Buero has
received two orders to date -  one hand delivered at Musikmesse, one
sent  after.  There's an order on it's way now and another in thr shop
now for Model 15s.  That's all that's been ordered from them however -
which addresses you question regarding Analogue Haven. They are
ordering more frequently, in bigger numbers and we process orders as
every manufacturer does - as they are received. Unless other
circumstances such as component shortages arise, we are currently
working a three weekorder completion cycle, down from 9 weeks from
March.  My staff is here five to six days a week to maintain that
turnaround. 


- P
