200M's...Hi irisexit! thanks for your reaction!<br /><br />200M's rare? I'm not sure, I see them sometimes, but like the OM-100 & 150 not as much as the older ones. I think a lot of the owners just don't wanna sell them :-) There's a big market for OM-27, 36 & 84's because they sound real vintage + they are great for bending.Actually I own a 250M myself, we use it in the band, it sound great and always works.<br />enjoy your Omnichord!Robert Hurrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072349553240713835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242565357386233273.post-54529868229620021542013-01-10T20:07:19.360+01:002013-01-10T20:07:19.360+01:00i have a 200m. pristine condition. it was my grand...i have a 200m. pristine condition. it was my grandpas.<br /><br />i am learning to play it, but am curious as i haven't seen anyone else with one. are they rare? i imagine they would be ideal for circuit modification/bending, being a noise artist myself, but i would never do this to mine. i remember my grandpa playing sweet georgia brown on it and scads more oldies... songs by rudy valle, marlene dietrich, etc. i am learning to play stuff by richard strauss currently...<br /><br />glad someone else knows what they are...

If it's a broken part, most of them are 'of the shelf' only some of them are difficult or near impossible to come by. That's where you ask Darren:-)<br /><br />good luck RobRobert Hurrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072349553240713835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242565357386233273.post-13145602235841127962011-08-03T00:41:05.295+02:002011-08-03T00:41:05.295+02:00Hey there!

The Red power light was still on, but no sound whatsoever. Then the sound came back for a second and then disappeared again for good. It seems like something is loose. Any ideas?

I don't konw where you are based, but if you are in the UK: contact Suzuki Music UK, and ask for Darren Brown.
