1. Yikes…. that isn’t going to be fun to clean up..Hopefully that beautiful Dave Smith Morpho is not damaged too much.

   1. My thoughts too. Forget the desk, is the Mopho OK?

2. SYNTH DOWN….SYNTH DOWN !!!!

   Dude….I’m so bummed for you. Hope the Mopho is OK !

   Keep us in touch.

3. GUYS, THE SCREEN IS LIGHT, EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.

6. Please…don’t make sex in the synths desk!

7. I’m going to turn this image into a jigsaw puzzle.

8. Did he sample the sound as it went through? AWESOME!

9. Little more… little more… little more… whoops, too far.

10. “Wow that sound is awesome, let’s see how it sounds at a different frequency – bollocks!”

11. Shit, that got me totally paranoid now. My glass desk holds 27″ iMac i7 together with M-Audio Axiom 49 Pro and Novation Launcpad…
    What to do, what to do..?! 🙁

    1. See yeah yeah yeah’s comment!

    2. Get an Anthro desk.

    3. If you are really paranoid go to a custom plastic fabricator (like Tap Plastics) and have a sheet of clear plexiglass cut to size. The layer of plexiglas will help evenly distribute the weight across the surface area. You could also use tinted 3M window film. If it does crack the film will hold it together long enough to save your stuff.

       1. I did exactly that many years ago by getting my sheet of Plexiglass at Canal Street, NY. The only problem is I messed up the underline support and many years of a very heavy laptop bent it in the middle like a big smile. Plexiglass is the solution, just make sure the support is as flat as possible 🙂

          1. I was pretty much thinking just plop the plexi right on the existing glass, then use some tape around the edges to keep it from sliding around. No problem with flatness and you get two layers of strength.

12. Philip Glass would like it! 😉
    This makes me remember when my computer screen (not a flat one) hit my Monomachine because my cats were rioting…

13. Meh, Googled the subject and discovered that the average glass top desk can easily hold 50 kg load.
    Total load on my desk is 28 kg.
    Will sleep easy tonight after all 😉

14. Mopho, laptop and Tube Amp are affected equally by gravity and prefer to settle at the ground state. Additional results of experiment….. a confirmed ouch with much distress.

15. oohh.. damn.

    1. Actually – it WAS Memorex.

16. Now you know why they don’t make windows out of wood.

17. i’m pretty sure this is the work of a CAT!

18. No surface on this planet can hold the Mopho! Just keep it off the floor and you’ll do fine.

    I do hope everyone’s okay, though.

19. Dear Ikea,

    Look What you have reduced us to…..LOOK AT IT !!!!

    Please make the Jerker desk again. Please for the love of Moog.

20. Serves you well for underestimating how phat a Mopho is 🙂

21. That’s one of those photo’s that makes you draw breath over your teeth. Nasty.

22. I have investigated this photo with the friend of mine (forensics student) and we have discovered some significant abnormalities.
    Why is is Magic mouse sits still on the mouse pad to begin with and why is Mopho so conveniently placed on the “bed” of glass right side up..?!
    Botom line is that this image is total bullshit and posted to generate “15 minutes of fame”…
    There is NO way that the glass top desk will shutter like this under Mopho weight and then some…
    BULLSHIT STORY

23. There is no way usage of a synth on glass could have caused this….. how dare this dunk idiot blame it on the mopho.

24. drunk

25. This made me kiss my JERKER.

26. Try laminated glass and it won’t occur 😉
