    Best company for support. I had a loose Pipe knob, tried to fix it and I messed up the thread. I email SOMA for help. Required new knob and grub nut, plus needed to know size of key for fitting. In the post I received 2 X knob, 2 X grub nut, and key tool for fitting. Amazing support. Loving these machines, thank you.

    I connect with the Soma philosophy of creating emotionally resonant instruments. I feel connected to the sound when playing them. It is great to see the care and attention and processes behind making them. I have a lyra-8 and pulsar-23 and know they will continue to give me years of joy playing them. Thank you Soma.

It is clear that Vlad is a visionary and belongs on the same plane as Don Buchla for humanity and Dave Smith for practicality. This man and his team are truly keeping the spirit of synthesis alive and well.
    I'm glad that there are more electronic instruments made with the souls of Russians!

I noticed this video on my CZcams feed and thought maybe I shouldn't watch it because it would make me impatient to buy the pulsar-23. I decided to watch it thinking I would be fine. Part way through the video I paused it and put an overnight pulsar-23 on my credit card. It should be arriving tomorrow hopefully 😂

    Now I understand why the Pulsar 23 is quite costly to buy - the design and construction are works of art in themselves! I lovevmy Lyra 8, and I'm currently saving up to buy a Pulsar 23.
    Interesting that some Soviet era production techniques are used, since my recollection of products from that time are that they had severe quality control issues. That was clearly a result of the "production norms" that workers were forced to achieve, where quantity was essentially the only metric. Friends who lived through that time said it was advisable to buy something with a production date stamp from early in each month, since quality dropped as the end of each month approached and workers cut corners to meet targets!

I will surely buy one of your products soon, I am glad you didn’t get cancelled by other countries just because of where you come from!
