Apologies if this isn’t strictly Voyager, but having just seen it’s perfect partner yesterday, I just wanted to share.
If anyone is around Manchester UK in the near future, try and get to Johnny Roadhouse Music on Oxford Road for a treat.
They have got a vgc VCS3 Putney with matching Cricklewood keyboard in at the moment, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The wood is almost perfect, and bar a few minor cosmetics it’s the best I’ve ever seen (OK, I’ve only seen and touched four, but one of them was in a museum). It’s also stickered Music Control FX, so it’s had a decent service in the last few years.
Anyway, sorry again it’s not strictly Voyager, but it just brought out all the same emotions that Voyagers do - including before they even make a noise. AND, when I got home I swear I appreciated my Voyager more.
One last thing, without rekindling the “overpriced” thread at all, they had already turned down a hard £3000 for the Putney, and although they want to keep it for a while because of the punters it’s drawing in, they reckon £3500 to £4000 will be the deal.
Now I didn’t have £4k spare, but even at that price it’s still gorgeous.
And that’s three Voyagers worth, confirming the stunning value of our new Moogs in my mind at least!
