RE: Re: [crumar] how to clean a crumar ds-2

2006-07-22 by diego maps

wow your the first one i've met who has a Ds-2 too, where did you buy it? 
I'm from the philippines by the way, I bought mine through a thrift store.  
I'm thinking of selling mine though, because its hard to gig and I'm 
considering buying another synth.  but i'm really having a hard time to let 
it go! If ever, would you let go of yours? (sounds like a dramatic question 
ey? hehe)

mine seems to work fine except that it sounds dirty, that's why I'm posting 
about the cleaning stuff.

synth fan,

diego
