Connection,366.html
Actually the unit is located in Finland right now and is not
working!. This is most likely due to faulty transformer, but you
don't have worry about it: As soon as I hear about your serious
*intention* to buy the instrument, I am going to send it to Analogue
Systems to be checked and fixed at my expense. Only after they have
confirmed everything is OK, should you do the payment (Euro 1500 plus
shipping from UK). Then Analogue Systems will send the unit directly
to you. This "plan" is meant to save shipping costs and to shorten
storage time at Analogue Systems. It is for your confidence too.

This is me playing eyes closed and after not much practicing. Unlike
Theremin, the French Connection is easy to play - better intonation
is possible:
