If you’ve used the Waldorf Blofeld keyboard synth, leave a comment with your thoughts!
Neat. I’m planning on grabbing a Blofeld… now I have to consider the keyboard. …And I imagine it will be *tough* to find a place where I can test it… hate to buy a keyboard without playing on it first.
…Also, I predict a forthcoming bevvy of “where’s my Stromberg?” comments. (Too rich for my blood!) On the other hand, I may actually consider Largo (potentially over a Blofeld), if it’s decent, so I *would* like to see that on the shelves.
Waldorf has long been my absolute favourite music company. I hope this does really well.
