via wire to the ear where you can read more abou this shop.
"There are a few good places to buy pro-audio equipment in Berlin. If your looking for a personal touch and boutique equipment head to Kruezberg and visit City Sound Pro. Berlin has the worlds greatest analog synthesizer store at Alexanderplatz called Schneider’s Buero. When you walk in a Theremin will track your moves and greet you. From there Mr. Schneider himself will show you his vast collection. For used vintage stuff you can try a small shop on Schönhauser Allee called Musikinstrumente & Design."

  1. Is that thing real? It's way, way too big. Look at it in comparison to the keyboard on the Voyager, and the man standing underneath it.

  2. Just looked at the full-size shot. WOW. It's a big, honkin' cardboard display I think... or just a P-shop. I'd pay $100 for a huge oversized display like that though! :o)

  3. Yeah, it's wood. Oliver sent me the following in email:

    "Someone on the Harmony Central forum wrote: its made of wood. Roland germany made a couple of those to be used as promomaterial at the Frankfurt fair. Looks like they sold it afterwards to some shops. I think theres another one at the musicshop in munich"

    I was hoping it was real, like this.
