To contact me

I realized this blog lacks an address to contact me, ask me about my instruments etc. To discuss about our favourite instrument, ask questions, say hallo, etc., write to:

I'm building yet one more Mini Remin. The MR is now a well tuned design. I'ts been around for a while, and several MR of different colours have hit the stage. People like the IKEA case and the see-through LED. Buffer stage tends to saturate at high volume, giving a fuzzy sound when required.
I've recently made a few minor improvements of the design.


It is the simplest design but the output is 'sound' and the performing feedback sharp and nice to play. It requires a bit of practice but eventually gives you that provoking sound and feel.
