absolutely magical experience, the people running the store were really kind and helpful which I appreciated a lot since I'm very new to the world of modular synths :) there was so much cool stuff, it's the sort of place I could just hang out in for hours I didn't end up buying anything since synths are expensive and I don't currently have the budget for that but I definitely got the impression that the people there would be incredible to work with to figure out what meets my needs if/when it's time to buy something !

What a great shop. I made it right after lunch and the owner gave me a demo of the Roland TR-8S with his awesome sound system. There is all kinds of gear here to try.

The owner was very helpful. He pulled his personal stash for a demo since he didn't have any of the particular synth that I was looking for in stock. He was very open with me about when and how things come back in stock and took my information so he could let me know when it comes back in stock. This is probably the only decent synth store in the bay area.

Owner went out of his way to keep me up to date on a new product arrival (Moog Grandmother), notified me the day they showed up. Quality local small business dealing with an amazing selection of equipment. Highly recommend music makers of all sorts check this place out. I look forward to going back and spending more time in the shop. There is much to see and hear.
