Yeah, Boiiiii!
What the heck is up with this gloomy summer!? I'm going nuts. But here is some exciting news. The Wurlitzer 200 electric piano has been in the hands of vintage keyboard guru Matt Cunitz down in the Bay Area for restoration, and she'll be back very soon! Matt is raving about the results, and he's a hard man to please. He recapped the amp, rebushed the keys, tuned it, installed 200A reed shielding and eliminated all hum and buzz, and regulated the action. He's given her a 9.5 out of 10 in feel and sound. "She's got the spirit." I'm stoked. Matt's list of clients is like an NME or Rolling Stones magazine list of Who's Who. Now that the Mogami wiring project is nearly complete, the studio is truly dialed in, and having things run smoothly is something we're all grateful for daily. In an amazing bit of news, Tahoe Jackson's drummer apparently found a pair of vintage Neumann u47 microphones for $5 at a garage sale. I don't even know that dude, and I hate him. He just found $30,000. And, oh, The Red Octopuses II - Flaming Arrows - is weeks from being finished. Almost forgot, the studio now has a vocoder - a microKorg XL. "Mr. Bluuuue Sky."
