Hi Tony

The Abacus is just a tool and is the only range available at present that has the capabilities and features that I want, if another manufacture came along and offered better I would have no hesitation in changing. (Sticking to a brand is like buying a car with a particular badge, it doesn’t mean it’s the best for you no matter what they have done in the past)

You’re a little off mark about Wersi company going under (Writing on the wall) as it failed, (And is unlikely ever to return) at the end of 2009. May it RIP?

Music Store now own the name, and all dealers have to provide a business plan to Music Store to prove they can make Music Store money, and uphold the Music Store ethos. (They didn’t become one of the biggest music retailers in Europe by dragging along dead weight)

You may also be interested to know that last year at Wersi Rhine; (The dealer where the OAS 7 instruments are made to order for Music Store) had to expand so as to meet the demand for the OAS 7 instruments. (When Music Store bought the name, they priced the products in line with their competitors, rather than living on past glory’s, which of course never works)

As to the Wing, I couldn’t care less if it is sold to aliens or takes over the world, it doesn’t do what I want, and so for me is a complete irrelevance.

Regards

Bill
