Was literally planning to order Coco and PB at the end of this month or end of Jan… Hopefully the shop reopens and shipping to the US continues in early 2021!

@Jonny - that blog post is really cool and it would be awesome if that was a part of this move.

I think that move is to just oversee the production at Patch Point, he had said at some point in this Single Malt Synthesis interview with Hainbach that he was considering spending a few months of the year there to check in and make sure the woodworking is up to his standard etc, but now it seems like he’ll be moving there indefinitely. I’m sure he’d rather outsource things properly than be personally soldering every last joint for the rest of his life.

I’d be very surprised if it was because Korg has taken him up on that proposal - he’s an absolute genius but not the kind I would imagine that a traditional synth manufacturer like Korg would hire, however deserving. Either way, it’s great to see him thriving and to know that CL is growing

Yeah, it seems unlikely he’s moving for Korg and more likely about Patch Point…but at the same time also interesting because he did propose working with Korg and they are opening an experimental r+d sort of outfit in Berlin. Hey maybe both?! Guess we’ll find out eventually.

I saw that insta post and that was the kick in the pants I needed to finally order a cocoquantus. Had the money lined up already after selling some stuff (including Magneto, Clouds, Rings, and a few other things), and fate forced me to make a move. Hopefully he’s already got some built or is finishing up final orders before taking off across the pond. It was really important to me that my unit be built by Peter himself. I admire him greatly and can’t wait to join this little world of Ciat-Lonbarde.

Yeah, no more PB or Coco anymore… Just going to have to order from Patch Point and pay the €>$ premium and import taxes. :crazy_face:

Seriously not even upset about that though. With all the crap things 2020 brought and all of the businesses that closed, I’m grateful Peter is still in business and these will still be available. Prices increasing at retail is nothing compared to what they would be on Reverb if he was closing up shop, even for a year. Definitely ordering as soon as I have the funds and not putting this off.

If you’re thinking about it, do it while you can, I’d say, from my vantage point on this increasingly isolated, rainy plague island - Just heard that Deutsche Post (a part of DHL, apparently) has suspended all deliveries into the UK, so even if I was thinking of another CL instrument (I’m not), it would have to wait, for sure!

I was like 100% set on selling my coco just last week (after a month of so of going back and forth in my head)
but with this news I think I’m totally set.

I love the ciat line but I’ve just spent too much time with video synthesis and not enough with audio to keep so much synth. I don’t think that will be changing anytime soon.

I moved some monies around (im broke as shit lol) and grabbed a Tocante Studworth set today.
Couldn’t let him leave without being considered a “customer” of his lol.

On a super bright note, I got an email back from Peter yesterday in regards to the DOGSLIT/DOGVOICE that I built for him!
It will be making a trip to Germany! :smiley:
He asked that I send it out there rather than to him now, since his luggage is pretty full (with a wife and kids, man, i can only assume lol)

The Synthmall store is still open today - I think if anyone plans on pulling the trigger. Now is the time <3

are you saying there will be no more cocos or PBs? please tell me thats not true

#2183

There will be more, just harder to get and more expensive if you’re in the US.

not directly from peter in the US. he and patch point will be making them in berlin though.

this really bums me out - i’m happy for peter, but i was hoping to make a move on a coco soon - the price as it is pushes it for me… now with the exchange rate, vat, and the inevitable jump in the used price, i’m worried coco is out of my reach for the foreseeable future.

if i had known, i would have jumped on one as soon as i saw his post (didn’t know he’d do any shipping before the move) or on the one that was just on this forum.

I ordered a PB and CQ from his site last night an hour or two before the links were pulled. Here’s hoping there are still a few orders being fulfilled…

i emailed him to ask if orders were still going out - seems to me his shop was up to date and you can expect one! he said “what’s there is all i’ve got left.” you beat me to the punch!

I’m so happy I was able to get a Coco from Peter back in October. It is one of the new ones without glass; I personally really like the look of these new ones - the lights look beautiful coming through the wood. I’m also not sad that it was at the old price :slight_smile:

I’m a bit tempted to pick up a Tetrax before he jumps ship but I think I need to hold off.
