Elektron Musical Instruments

I'm in, without a doubt.  I can vouch on the list that Calzone does 
good work... one of the studios I frequent had them build a custom case 
for a hodgepodge of gear and the quality is tops.

I think a blank area where the knobs are is critical.  Also, remember 
to have them leave an extra 2" on one side or the other for power 
cable.

Joe, thanks for this.
