Walk and Weft

This is just a little experiment really, but some people may find it useful.  Having chunky fingers does not endear me to Eurorack, though I do think it's a brilliant way to create a truly personalised piece of synth hardware.  My own rack is very basic: Mutable Plaits, a Takaab triple LFO module, a Vermona MeloDicer and a Toppobrillo Quantimator (which I've barely used).  It's my beloved Matriarch which has been doing Attenuator duties previously and they are handy modules, even a small rig like mine wants 3 or 4 of them.

Due to lack of use, we are selling our second Hattersley Domestic Loom (mark 1), with 2 shuttles and 30 pirns.  It's in great condition, fully refurbished by us.  There is a rough warp on the machine which we put on when it was first assembled and haven't used since.   Every part of this machine has been made good, some wood and all the leather has been replaced.  It's good for many years to come. We are looking for £2500 for this and if you are interested please get in touch.
