Musikmesse: Waldorf Stromberg

No way! Via Quad on the Waldorf list:

"Last night I was watching TV when the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw a women standing there with a man behind her holding something large in his outstretched arms covered with black velvet. My first thought was they were going door to door, trying to sell what the man was holding.

When they introduced themselves and said they work for a German synthesizer company, I knew it had to be Waldorf ... so I invited them into my house.

The woman handed me an envelope before she sat down while the man was still standing holding onto what was underneath the black velvet.

Inside the envelope was a letter that said:

Dear Stephen,
We would like to thank you and your overwhelming support for Waldorf
synthesizers by making you an honorary beta tester for our flagship synthesizer
"The Stromberg."

Best Regards,
Wolfram Franke

The women then stood up to remove the black velvet cover and that's when I
saw my first glimpse of heaven ... a Stromberg in my own living room!

My first thought was to bring it downstairs to my studio and power it up. It
has a brushed gold looking finish and illuminated knobs and with the dimmer
lights set low it was totally breath taken.

We spent about an hour going through the presets and filters when they told
me they had to leave to catch a plane back to Germany.

Funny thing is they never said how long I can keep the Stromberg or if I
ever have to give it back someday.

Today I am a very lucky man.



Today also happens to be April Fool's Day!

GOTCHA!

PS. My apology goes to Wolfram for using his name. Without it would have
made this April Fool's joke less believable.
