[HAM] Retraction: MDF

[John Doyle]

Scott H writes about the new B3:

"I still think that if you can afford one,
this instrument is very very good indeed."

That's one hell of an if. $25,000 for anew B3. Where is the market? You
could buy 3 to 5 real tonewheel B3's with Leslies for the price of one of
these synthesizers in a particle board case. I wonder how long the key
contacts will last in the new B3's. From personal experience, I have been
thru quite a few Japaneese synths and controllers and have found that they
just don't hold up. Try doing repeated glissandos on a Yamaha, Roland,
Fatar, etc. I had a Roland U-20 that needed constant attention to the key
contacts. Oh well. Enough of this! Thanks for letting me bitch,
