I was overjoyed when Robin Wood, the current owner who has been with Electronic Music Studios nearly since it's inception, answered my email pleas for help. It was soon settled. I would send the Synthi overseas for a complete overhaul and some modifications while there. It was disheartening to depart from the Synthi after so little time spent with it, but I knew that the unit was special and a fully functional one would be well worth every cent... an investment of sorts, but more importantly, a future fully functioning mystical music machine for alka. So...
As the weeks turned into months, my thoughts were consumed with all things EMS. I tried many things to pass the time, like make a scrapbook, read 3 EMS manuals, reviewed all the EMS posts on Matrixsynth, discovered the excellent Synthi blog and became friends with the creator: PIN."
