  1. a) Can't imagine how ridiculously small the trading circle likely is for Buchla parts.
    b) Don, please just reissue the Music Easel already.
    c) Why didn't someone notify me that you're allowed to put "visionary" into one's Blogger profile?

  3. Do people want reissued Easels because they think they'd be getting a bargain of some sort? It's a curious phenomenon.

  4. So few of these people have even seen an easel in person, let alone used one, that it is hard to imagine why they want a reissue other than gearlust. Making an instrument and pleasing gearlust are very different things, and I have a feeling that one appeals to Don a lot more. What do people really want to accomplish with an easel reissue that isn't possible with the available Buchla product line? The 200e is certainly compact and portable, programmable, contains integrated controllers, and offers a much wider range of sonic possibilities.

    Legends and Myths should be respected.
    And synthbuilders should go forward to create upcoming legends.

  7. The model 221 was used for some Easels, for certain. I have seen three with model 221 touch plates. Here is a link to a rather visible one:
