Greetings, The instrument arrived on Thursday with no issues, and it's amazing .. been using it all weekend. I've used the all of the available Mallet Synth Controllers and hands down this is the best instrument of them all. The response from the wood is spectacular, even the contact sound is more plausible due to the wood than the hard plastic or the soft neoprene of the alternatives. The sensitivity and note length knobs are gold .. I'm digging the mallets as well .. perfect softness for the surface .. Thank you very much for your assistance with everything .- Matthew Kerr, San Diego, March 2023
Special Commission Balasynth
Special Commission for Balafon player Alastair Eilbeck from the UK (left in photo, Will Wernick on the right). We’ve called this the Balasynth…. This 15 note instrument is set up in a pentatonic scale C,D,E,G,A (but being MIDI you can always retune). All the usual Xylosynth features apply such as octave shift etc. The keys are slightly longer (165mm) but the same width as the Xylosynth keys (46mm). So far Alastair says he loves it and is looking forward to travelling with it on his motorbike!
