Re: [SPELLBOUND-L] My theremin got Maggied

2006-12-12 by carvin knowles

Hey David,

Same thing happened to me in 2001, during a gig. A
Chinese parade dragon decided it would be cute to
"eat" my theremin in front of 2000 paying customers.

I was very lucky. Back then, Bob Moog still took
service calls himself and talked me through soldering
it back together. As he explained, that's just a
simple connection, so don't be worried. 

As for the cabinet, I re-nailed it and glued it for
extra measure. 

But if you are worried, call up Moog and ask their
advice. They were helpful back then and should be
today.

Goodaruck!

Carvin
