Technical Reference

A quick note about service - we do NOT service analog keyboards any longer, but we highly recommend Greg Montalbano. He is quite knowledgeable, and his rates are reasonable. He can be reached at his website, http://www.analogsynthservice.com.

If you have an electro-mechanical keyboard, such as a Rhodes or Wurlitzer, we recommend you speak to Matt Cunitz of Vintage Keyboard Repair, who is also the current owner of the Minitron. He's in the Bay Area of california, and can be reached at (510)527-2067.
