Great report! Yeah, this was a blast! I'm glad you could make the trip over, and thankful for Thomann and the arrangers for inviting even myself to this thing. Maybe we get to go next year too, I'll be much more prepared at least. :D

[@The_Str4nger]

@@Stjaernljus then you don't know german trains

[@omsi-fanmark]

@@The_Str4nger Even the worst train network is better than having a rubbish public transportation system (if you can call it that at all) in the US. If you don't like the german "Deutsche Bahn", that's understandable, but I would highly recommend no trying the US equivalent. There's a reason why most people take planes or their car (even for long trips) in the States.

[@BreakingBrick]

@@omsi-fanmark please consider, that from 1992 our railroad system was privatized (and not somehow, it's a private joint-stock company, with the Federal Republic of Germany being its single shareholder) and before that privatisation we had trains on time, it wasn't expensive to take the train (nowadays it's cheaper to take the car, since the monopoly for bus transport has fallen, the plebs are taking the bus, even more cheaper). The Deutsche Bundesbahn was for everyone from rich to poor, we miss it a lot.

[@JeffIrok]

I subscribe to about half of those who went, and am familiar with many of the rest. It was fun following you guys through the weekend!

Keep up the excellent work and thanks for the many inspiring, awesome videos!

I love how this guy has all of these incredibly complicated synths at his disposal, but immediately gravitated towards the toys and melodicas. It’s so charming :)

[@alameachan]

Your German is great. Also, fantastic video!

[@auronoxe]

Thomann - that‘s where I bought my Roland G800 keyboard more than 20 years ago. It’s just about 40 kilometers from my home. At that time they were a medium sized store. Today they are one of the (or the) biggest (online) stores in Europe.

[@LegoWormNoah101]

I knew he wouldn't abandon this channel!

[@t333rbo]

Great video, looked like a lot of fun - you and Sam both have a Commodore Pet, saw a video of him making music on it the other day!

[@JAdeWii_]

That was great! Don't pretend that's the first time you ever tried candy, every time I saw you you had candy in your hand hahaha

hahah.. Yeah, but I had never THAT specific candy!

[@JAdeWii_]

@@8BitKeys well the way I saw it it looked like you never had candy before in your life XD

[@Shabbymannen]

Thomann is the reference in Europe when it comes to what gear should cost. If you buy something at a store, you check the Thomann online price and decide if the extra cost of buying it from the store is worth it for their service and keeping a local actor going.

German Thomann customer and fan of your channel for years. Didn't know you actually payed our small country a visit - it's quite a cool thing to see YOU walking through these holy halls of Thomann. Sadly I'm just an online customer since their store is a bit too much away from where I live. And wtf - you can speak German??? I'm utterly surprised. What a wholesome video!

[@CosmykTheDolfyn]

Those melodicas are really popular in schools where I live in Ecuador. If you think it is interesting hearing one guy mess around with it who already has musical knowledge, imagine what it's like to hear a roaming herd of 20-30 kids wandering the streets after school blowing on those things... I am nearly deaf already. Also, Look Mum No Computer right in the thumbnail! Yes!!!!

[@SunSailor]

Cool. Always been happy with the service of Thomann, ordering all of my audio equipment and most of my 19" accessories there. Hope you liked it here in germany! Funny thing hearing you to play Ultima tracks - feels pretty different after meeting Richard Gariott last year. And an unexpected good german you speak, I'm impressed!

[@NinoJoel]

I saw you on the Doctor Mix channel and was waiting for your video :) The part where you spoke german with the employe made me laught :D I diden´t know you coud speak german so well.

auf dem 8 Bit Kanal hat er ja eine Zeit lang diese Unboxing Videos gemacht von Fan-Paketen und hatte mal was aus Deutschland bekommen und vorgelesen. Genau so in einem FAQ hat er mal deutsch gesprochen.

[@BreakingBrick]

War auch ganz baff, dass er auf deutsch spricht, vor allem, mit einem superfreundlichen US-Akzent. Einer meiner Lieblingsyoutuber, mit Abstand für mich der beste YT'ler.

[@JayBmusic]

Noch mehr fasziniert hat mich dieses schlechte Schauspiel von Thilo. XD

[@MarcKloos]

Yes, he's got that American "R", but every German speaker (and those who learned German in school, like me) would understand what he's saying. And no, English isn't my native tongue either 😊

[@Joeysun]

Really cool to see you at thomann. I live in Nuremberg and the first time I went there they didn't have all these large builings and you had to navigate a narrow serpentine to get there. Nothing to give away the awesomeness that lies behind that entrance. When I stepped into the guitar section, I could have sworn, I heard a choir singing.

[@mixednutt42]

I am in my apartment laughing so loud my neighbors are probably wondering if I'm on drugs because I'm so delighted by your interview with Look Mum. This is tops!

David and Anders make one heck of a team. So glad you two got to hang out. It really looked fun. I loved how David surrounded by high end instruments is like can you show me something more in line with kids. LOL Classic and absolutely mold breaking.

[@wigglyboots2]

It was wonderful seeing you and Sam having a chat. You're both among my very favorite youtubers and I think Sam makes a good pitch for a new segment, "Will it RetroBrite?"

[@IrlandesLatino]

I began watching 8 bit keys from about a week ago and I am not a big fan of synth or whatever as I am really into retro gaming and computers and not much into music. David you really have a talent of making almost anything really interesting. And this video is a tiny jewel as I got to discover a lot of other youtubers with very interesting content. I am glad that you enjoyed your trip to Germany and Frankfurt is my favorite German city.

[@mikosoft]

11:55 interesting tidbit about Kyrie from Mr. Mister. It's not as well known as their smash hit Broken Wings but I prefer it over Wings any day. Had to go and listen where the bells actually are and sure enough, in the "ooh" parts they're right there.

[@pev_]

Yeah, Thomann is a good musical instrument supplier in Europe. I live in Finland and I have ordered one big synth (Alesis Fusion), a trumpet, a couple of flutes, a couple of show lasers and some other things from them for over a decade without any problems. It's great that they also do events like this!

[@KE5ZZO]

7:15. a d s r. d is not delay decay - after hits peak volume does it maintain volume or how fast does it drop level

[@StefaanHimpe]

also, when we hear "a bit of sustain"... it's actually the effect of the "release" we hear

Also A is not for anal, but that is what you are now. :) Anything more you Besserwissers want to point out?

[@StefaanHimpe]

​@ Given that we're talking about wrong information about synths in a video about synths, your judgement is a little hArsh. Thinking that d represents "delay" and "s" represents "how long a sound sounds" are two common misconceptions about how ADSR works and expecting them to behave like that can only cause intense disappointment. kthxbye
