Much as we all want it to be "the one", Belka is correct.

You have obviously been to better quality ones than I have!

They are all sorts of reasons to not have them. But they serve a purpose in that it means that people get up on stage and actually do it. The sound will be pants because in general it is inexperienced musicians strutting their stuff with their bedroom curated TOOOOOONE. And often, by now, this is the only way for young bands to hit stages. So on balance, I think they are a good thing.

At the risk of derailing the thread (lovely colour) - tell me more.

It was going so well

Ha! That will never happen. I just want hit a switch and hear the magic happen. I should probably have metioned that in the brief.

I had wondered about that, but do not know if it would actually sloooowww ittttt doooooooooowwwwwwwwwwn or just pitch it dow.

Thanks. I shall hunt them all down.

In fact, like Ped's first picture!

Thanks both. More shelves is just prolonging the agony! There are a couple of local auction houses I shall look at now that I have thought of the solution below. I could butcher a bureau so that the screen sat at an angle facing slightly up from the base of the first drawer. I have seen desks with screens set like that. I could still close it all up and pretend that it is just an antique oak bureau. Maybe. But writing this stuff down helps me process things. It is just unfortunate for you lot that you have to read it.

That is absolutely fair enough I wish you well with you search.

You people are all in league with BIG FX and are forcing me to spend big money on boutique stuff. Shame on you.
