Future for Cwejman?

[trickness]

I don't mean to be negative, we are all just speculating,

Yeah, I don't think anyone said we weren't speculating. Also, Maho Cwejman said she'd make an announcement after a period of time. Which would presumably end the speculation.

Yeah, that's why I said "we are all just speculating" in the first sentence.

Thanks! I love it when someone profusely agrees with me

Needs to consider servicing/warranty coverage as well. That was also the beauty if something required servicing you'd know Wowa would take care of!!!

Instead of speculating how about highlighting some facts.

• There is no Maho Cwejman. Her name is Maho Masuda.

• Putting panels on modules, modules in boxes, processing payments, and printing shipping labels doesn't qualify someone as an engineer. It also doesn't constitute any part of ownership.

• When someone passes away, their estate doesn't get sorted in a few weeks. The simplest estates take more than 6 months in non-pandemic times.

• Wowa Cwejman's estate is far from simple.

• Wowa Cwejman had children. One of which is the executor of his estate.

• Alex 4 has removed Cwejman from their distribution list.

• Schneidersladen has marked all Cwejman products as being no longer available.

Many points could be added to the list. Draw your own conclusion.

More than a sentiment, it is a hope that someone will finish the modules he was currently building. I don’t think though that there will be new modules in the sense unreleased before.

You’re right. How could everyone have overlooked obvious and well known facts like who the executor of his estate is?

Oh and there’s this. I guess this is not a real person that I bought Cwejman modules off of. Thanks for sharing the “facts”.

I never said Maho Masuda wasn't a real person. You bought your modules from a Japanese distributor yet they were shipped from Sweden. Did you ever wonder why that is? How much money was saved in that process? Stop being so naive.

I can start a Facebook account right now using the name Wowa Cwejman. Would that make him some kind of Synth Jesus? Because of a name of Facebook? He is risen!

Prove me wrong.

Hahaha... wow ok I’m the fool for taking the bait. Good job troll.

[slumberjack]

Is it actually still possible to do fake facebook profiles? I'm off this drug since a few years.

Easy: since neither you nor anybody on here has knowledge, or means to verify, the complexity of Wowa Cwejman’s estate, and “simple” is not a quantitative term, that’s not a fact, just a statement that’s not even wrong

[Paranormal Patroler]

Let's keep it civil people. One liners and one-up-manship only makes you look childish.

[Kent]

And are going to get you posts redacted.

Dialekt, please curb the anger and attacks. We’ve already deleted two of your posts. It isn’t the substance that is being questioned and brought to the attention of the moderators (a few days straight now); it is the vitriolic style.

[Raymond]

Why so much tension ? Any of us knows anything for sure so we’ll see what happens and hope for the best that’s it. There are none obvious and well known facts other than the fact that he passed away.

[Val]

Thought about this too after seeing this:
https://reverb.com/item/38989192-cwejma ... K-bf-Qd-jQ
again, reverb, blablablah, we all know that subject, but this is being insensitive, asking 25k for a S1MK2

I don't think it's insensitive to care, worry about Wowa's work, about him having a legacy, and getting it profitable to actual musicians, wigglers, and not to reverb sharks.
I hope someone, of some manufacturer will get the licence and continue the production

I guess if it's any factual contribution I can make to this thread, repairs for Cwejman are now being overseen by ReBach in the Netherlands if you are located in Europe.
I was directed to contact them by Maho a few days ago and ReBach have been very professional so far.

I never had reason to enjoy free repairs from Cwejman in the past but if anything, this points to structured 'follow up' organisation being put in place.
A positive in my view

Ps: I'm told by ReBach all parts used in the repairs are supplied by Cwejman, and assured the returned item identical to original spec

[Raymond]

That’s an interesting, new and positive information indeed. You’ll give us a follow up on the repair!

[Portabella]

At least someone is going to buy the company in the end.

This won't happen

To clarify, I ment: There would be at least someone who buys the company if they sell.

About a year ago I spoke to somebody at his former distributor, Alex4 / Schneiders. At the time they opined that certain modules will not be built again since the selection of parts turned out to be too arduous. That is, while the circuits do employ standard components, in some (I guess rare) cases of "100 components measured, 99 needed to be discarded for one that was fit for use." Then there was the one person bottleneck of calibrating every module. That might explain the difficulty of scaling production during Mr.Cwejman's lifetime and reconcile it with the observation that standard components are found in the circuits.

[Dogma]

Look who knows...

A couple of things

Prior to the past couple of years (ph8 and mmf1s I think) every single component was hand soldered by wowa OR maho, they’ve since gone to final qc and calibration
So apart from actual parts and will should be no physical barrier to production, nothing new of course.

As stated there’s much more complications than we can and probably should know at this point....

I genuinely think we’ll see cwejman again in some form but that just maybe wishful thinking

To follow up on the repairs process with ReBach, I received my module back a couple days ago.
Excellent service. Total turnaround was about 3 weeks from first email to module being back repaired.
The module is flawless, it's impossible to tell any work has been done on it (which actually triggered doubt at one one stage )
Everything feels like new, super pleased.
The cost was reasonable, the communication very clear and friendly.

It's very reassuring to know that this kind of service is available to ensure the continuity and good running of beloved gear.
I fully recommend it if you need a repair or some maintenance on a Cwejman module.

thank you for sharing this information, i'm relieved to read that repair of cwejman modules is still possible!
