About
Write the opening of the About us page for Patchbay, a three-person studio in Rotterdam that repairs vintage synthesizers. About 150 words.
Patchbay is a small repair studio in Rotterdam dedicated to keeping vintage synthesizers alive. We are three people — a technician, a historian, and a musician — who believe that the instruments built in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s still have decades of sound left in them, if someone is willing to care for them properly.
We work on everything from early Moogs and Arps to Roland Junos and Oberheim OB-series, handling everything from dead power supplies and leaky batteries to full recaps and voice board restoration. Our workshop is small by design. We take on a limited number of instruments at a time, which means every synth that comes through our door gets our full attention.
Most of our clients are working musicians, collectors, and small studios across Europe, but we also welcome instruments with stories we'd love to hear. If you have a piece of synth history that needs care, we'd be glad to talk.
Patchbay is a three-person studio in Rotterdam devoted to repairing vintage synthesizers. We work with instruments that have been played, carried, opened up, and passed from one owner to the next. Each arrives with its own history and its own set of quirks, so we begin by listening carefully and tracing the problem before reaching for a fix.
Our work ranges from straightforward maintenance to deeper electronic repairs. We clean, test, diagnose, and restore with the aim of making a synthesizer reliable again while respecting the design that gives it its voice. When a repair calls for a replacement part, we look for a solution that fits the instrument rather than treating it as disposable.
Patchbay is run by three people who share a curiosity about how these machines work and a respect for the sounds they make. We believe a well-cared-for synthesizer has plenty more music in it, and we’re here to help it find its way back into someone’s hands.
