SergeModular

Hello,

sorry for interrupting with a Newbie question.

Since seven years I am thinking about buying a Serge Modular
synthesizer. I scribbled lots of pages with possible configurations,
scribbled again as new modules like the BLOG came out and finally ended
up with the draft for a three panel system (TKB, Animal, Custom Panel
with PCO, RING, NCOM, BLOG, DSG, ADSR, QTKB, ACPR, SPRC).

But before buying such a system (or even just an Animal with a TKB),
I'd like to play a real one to see and hear for myself how built
quality (as far as I remember there are contrary opinions) and sonic
quality (crosstalk etc.) are.

As I know nobody here in Germany who ownes a Serge, I'd like to dare
and ask the SMOG if there is a group member in Europe who would allow
me to visit him and let me play his Serge. And as I will be attending
Winter NAMM in Anaheim and visit San Francisco afterwards for two days,
I'd also be very glad if I can get my hands on a Serge in L.A. or S.F.
for an evening. If an invitation to dinner in return is acceptable…?

Thanks in advance,
sorry for disturbing and
best regards
