Frank,

I realize that I am speaking on Grant's behalf, so I await his
correction of my statements. I am just putting this out there as
perspective....

When I had first met Grant over the phone, it was just after a Robert
Rich review of the Wiard 300 appeared in Keyboard Magazine.  By the
time that I decided to order, there, he was besieged with well over a
year of orders.  What resulted was a very gloomy and sullen Grant -
imprisoned by our "love".  There were no options - just go downstairs
and build modules.  I truly believe that repearing this situation is
something that GR will avoid at all costs.

I think that that is why Grant has continued to build 300 Series
modules as individual custom orders - he wants freedom and flexibility
in his life to do things that are important to him as well as crete
and manufacture synthesizer modules.  That essentially means spreading
out his 300 Series stuff over time - and turning down offers from time
to time so that he can be normal....

I personally have discussed several things with Grant, but these
projects are on hold until "brighter days" appear, when he has more
time, or I have more money to make my projects more attractive.  So, I
am specking out of experience - a happy Grant is a creative Grant. 
Obligating him to the point where he can't ride his Vespa around town
for kicks ultimately does no one any good.

Respectfully,

gary
