Re: Crumar Symphonizer note issue

2008-12-09 by montamusic

Yes. It's an early model that was released here in the US, or so I'm 
told, that didn't do well and was discontinued. Mine is A/77. 

It's been invaluable on our last recording and I'd hate to lose it. 
I'll pass on the tips to the service guys. you've given me a much 
better understanding of how this thing works. 

Many thanks,
Dedric
