3 Month Synth/Gear Repair Course by The Analog Lab

–UPDATE–
We have been getting a lot of questions about the class since our post. I will answer a few of those right now:
  1. The classes are usually held twice a week during the evenings and are around 2 hours each. The actual class time will be determined once everyone’s schedules have been compared.
  2. No prior knowledge of circuitry, tools, or any other electronics is required. The course is designed to teach anyone to be a tech. That being said, people that do have a grasp of these subjects are able to take the course to learn new techniques, sharpen their skills, and have a source of advice for questions they may have.
Do you wish you were able to fix and maintain your own gear? Ever wanted to know what an oscilloscope does and how to use it?

Twice a year, the Analog Lab offers a complete technical hands-on mentoring program for those individuals who have an interest in being a professional gear tech or gear designer. Classes meet twice a week for three months and covers subjects such as electronic safety, components, circuit design (using examples from classic analog synths), etc. Each student chooses their own final repair or build project so you come away with a new or restored piece of gear! Jeff Blenkinsopp, The Sonic Wizard, administers classes and has been involved with analog synthesizers and their design and repair for more than 30 years. You can read more of Jeff’s bio here: http://www.earsnyc.com/blenkinsopp.html

You will leave the course with a “real world” education that you can’t get anywhere else!

There are no more than 6 students to a class so don’t delay in signing up!

    Hi

    I’m interested in your repair course, but being a Limey based in London, this September’s course is a bit of a no-no for me unfortunately – much as i would like to do it!

    i wonder if you could tell me:

    (a) how much the course is, and when you might run another one after this one (because i might be interested in coming over in the future!)

    (b) what level you expect learners to be – do you take complete novices, or do you expect a certain degree of pre-existing knowledge/skills such as an ability to use a soldering iron, component knowledge and/or physics+maths.

    (c) if there are any web-based tutorials and workshops you run, or recommend.

    Many thanks and keep up the great work!
    Martin Swan
