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 dedicated to the repair and restoration of vintage synthesizers. We spend our days with soldering irons and oscilloscopes, coaxing life back into instruments that were built to last and mostly did, until they didn't.
Between us we cover decades of combined experience with analog and early digital circuitry, from the classics of Roland, Korg, Moog, and ARP to the odd, wonderful machines that never made it big. We treat every repair with the same care, whether it's a flagship polysynth or a broken drum machine with a devoted following.
Our workshop sits in the west of the city. You're welcome to visit — bring the instrument, bring the story behind it. We like hearing both.
What we don't know we research, and what we can't source we sometimes fabricate. Nothing gets written off before we've tried.
