Re: such wonderfully conceived machines exist? (was Paradispolyphonic nylon)



This sounds beautifull Teresa, thank you very much!

my answer was very short, because I thought you would contact me 
personally if you needed a unit.
Now I feel like puting that straight:

for the professional scene, society is organized in a way that money 
is available for tremendously high class studio reproduction of 
tremendously low class instruments of poor professional musicians :-(
for creative musicians the high class production is unacessible, so 
they tend to spend their little money rather on home studio equipment 
than elaborated instruments recently.
amateurs generally spend money to reproduce the sound of their idols, 
instead of developping their own thing.

in general, humanity lost a lot in the last 20 years by concentrating 
on low prices for the public and absurd high quality in a few 
corners. While the dark majority struggles for daily bread and water, 
the spoiled priviledged citizens want a bit of everything, with 
superficial knowledge of each thing and thus just initial 
satisfaction to participate in a tribe and consume fascinating 
gadgets without dedication to feel a deeper quality. No life energy 
flow, just material and hormones...

my recommendation for people who want to find hapyness and maybe a 
way out of world economy crises:
concentrate time and money on one or two things you got talent for, 
do it anyway, but rather in a way there is a chance to 
professionalize it in the future. once you become helpfull with this 
skill, clients will come up and you can be happy living off what you 
like to do, without having time and money to spend on all all other 
unnecessary stuff :-)

to come back to Paradis: it was so much easier for Rolf to get a job 
as a designer than to build instruments, that after years of 
struggeling, he choose the easy way. but as his friends had 
predicted, he did not manage to really trash his true destiny and 
talent... :-)

so:
Paradis did not produce guitars in the last 6 years.
I have a Polysubbass left, but no quantity.
But Rolf is working on seting up production again, we have serious 
hopes that next year, there will be a new model, in the tradition of 
Avalon!
