3 days before one of our recent gigs, I accidentially dropped my Monome 40h and broke the USB port.
I didn't turn pale and started to cry, but simply got it repaired with the help of a friend of mine, within the next day.
Although it was just the USB port that was physically broken, I knew that even if anything else inside got damaged, I would still be able to fix it with standard components, available in any electronics store.
That's the sustainability to expect from a musical instrument in order to be usable for years to come - just like our singer's violin, which has been handed on from generation to generation.
If anything similar would happen to Zelli's Korg, we'd be screwed...
