Dear Sjaak, Per took me to a store in Goteborg when I first got there and I purchased a 1,000 watt transformer for about $70 USD (110-220 volts with adaptors). It enable me to play successfuly with Amercian 110 volt equipment in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. I left it with my good friend, Paul Marshall in Northern Ireland because it was too heavy to bring back to the states (I do believe that the one I used in my 2003 European looping tour I left with Luca Formentini near Lado Di Gara. If anyone wants to use these units and is willing to pay the shipping for them to where they are (and keeps them in either the UK or in Europe), I'd be happy to lend them to them with the caveat that I know where they are are for my next tour in Europe which may be as soon as next summer so I don't have to repurchase them. Additionally, Bill Walker bought a good 220-110 converter for the Y2K LIVE LOOPING FESTIVALS in Northern California (which will be placed equidistant from the two performance stages at Y2K8 for anyone coming over from Europe, Asia or the UK so please don't buy one unnecessarily if you are coming to perform. I'm not sure of my touring schedule for next summer but I think I will be in Scandinavia probably before I am at the Antwerp, Rome and Athens looping festivals that are being planned but maybe we can work something out and , certainly, when I arrive in Antwerp, Rome and Athens, everyone from the US and Canada is welcome to use my units for the entirety of the festivals. One last thought: It might be a really cool thing, if people can afford it, for the people who tend to put on looping festivals and performances to purchase a transformer to keep on site. The transformer is a MAJOR headache when you are trying to get around on trains, buses, subways and cars, let alone airplanes so it would be cool if we could do something like that. speaking of said devil, I'm going to start a new thread.
