Back to the past…

For those of you who don’t already know, Solid State Logic started life making control systems for church organs. Instead of using mechanical “pull out the stops” levers and pulleys to divert the airflow into the pipes, our founder Colin Sanders designed a system using solid state electronics and logic gates (hence “Solid State Logic”). The company was sold off years ago, but is still in existence – see http://www.ssosystems.com/ for more info.

Inspired by this and Richard’s medieval lute collection (see his bio), the team have been researching some new market areas. We sent Damien out on a field trip to the home of classical music – Vienna. Flushed with history and enthusiasm damien returned with an amazing idea… a keyboard that was like a guitar! Unfortunately we had to point out that this had already been done, and presented in a much more attractive way.

Back to the drawing board…
