It's abit obscure and you need to ring the doorbell in fron of a door that doesn#t look like much. But upstairs they have everything synthesizer. Every Euro module, most Buchla, everything Jomox MFB, Haaken, what have you... and they are superfriendly, speak perfect English and encourage you to play with everything... Their hours are from 2-6pm, I think.

Fun, and I like to go there -- but mainly since my parents have a house there, but it's a bit weird in that eastern Germany type of way, so nothing I would really recommend...;)

>>We are back visiting my family in Germany again this June.  This time we are heading to Berlin for a quick detour, and since I haven't been there since 1990, I need some recommendations from those of you that know the city.  We keep reading about how the Mitte and Charlottenburg is the area you want to be in for great hotels and things to do.  We're looking at places like the Cosmos hotel (http://www.cosmo-hotel.de/en/home), etc..

>>So, need some recommendations on cool places for drinks, dinners, shopping, and general stuff we should check out.  Also, is the are recommendations on target, or????
