Indeed. It also demonstrates the power of social media and groups like this one as a way of getting the word out. I for one would have never have heard of either Crumar, GSI, the Mojo or the Burn (or heck, even the Vent) if I hadn't been a member of this and other clonewheel related groups.

It also accentuates the importance for manufacturers who can't get their products into stores to create and publish good audio/video demos of their products. I remember when the Burn was first discussed many months ago, but I didn't even consider getting it until I heard the first few demos.

And, of course, the risk you always have as a "low production number" purchaser is that it may have hardware or firmware flaws and bugs that are identified and fixed in later production models. Let's hope this isn't the case here!

Guido posted the following on his facebook page this morning..

"BURN offer has ended, and it's gone far beyond our expectations... 100 units in less than 70 hours! Our big 'thank you' to all of our first 100 customers who have put their trust in us. We are sure you won't be disappointed, the BURN is a great instrument that required 10 months of intensive work, and we've put all our efforts and experience into it as both manufacturers and musicians. Thank you!"

I'd say that this is a tremendous success.. and this is based on a whole lot of people who love the Crumar/GSI products, and given the fact that no one has tried on yet, we're all buying them sight unseen, which says that a lot of people who have tremendous faith in the talents of Guido and Andrea!!
