Haha :D Yeah, I know. A danish speaking linguist friend of mine told the exact same thing the other day with very similar reasoning as yours. This name stuck with me for a long time as an idea if I ever want to start a _fake_ nordic brand - and I think for _that_ it’s perfect :D

Yes, this is a valid option if we see high demand for it.

Yes that’s a valid question and the reason is because I havent’t yet got to convert all of them to SMT.

To be honest, this build is pretty advanced and I wouldn’t recommend as a first synth DIY project.

In short I assume anyone who wants to build this synth generally understands the concept of subtractive synthesis, basic electronics, can read schematics and PCBs (using KiCad) and has experience in soldering. I’ve written a build guide which has a “prerequisites” section as well as details on how to order PCBs and assembly steps: https://www.shmoergh.com/hog-build-guide/

The schematics might also be a good resource to dig deeer and understand the building blocks of an analog synth.

So far the best place to discuss things is under the build guide:

Thanks a lot for your kind words everyone! Zimo (author/builder)

Hey Mobeets, Zimo (author/builder) here.

The text on the flowerpot and the wooden box was “printed” with toner transfer method. It’s a super simple process: you print the text flipped with a laser printer and use toner transfer solution and rub the text on the surface.

I used this solution for it (hope it’s fine to share it): https://ideahobby.eu/product/10556/express-transfer-20ml-p32...

Here’s a video how it’s used: https://youtu.be/tsc7cHJ98pQ?si=cZ0b0W0ajJjQE1gf
