Great question. Note that I'm just the guy that helps YJ Park with his email account (he's the solo luthier and is responsible for 100% of Moollon builds), but can answer things just the same, since I started assisting him in 2007, right before he launched the Classic Series line. Right in...

This is actually quite an astute observation regarding the scene here in Korea, which I've discussed with guys in the industry a lot over the past few decades. I can't speak for Japan, but can attest from a number of collective voices over here that young people on social media and those...

I've been a professional musician in Seoul for a few decades now, and tend to be a realist when it comes to these sorts of frank questions...Korea is not Japan, and it's certainly not Disneyland. And it's been a red ocean for professional work in applied music arts, for decades now. But hey, if...

Just briefly swinging by for the sake of clarity and a few words from the Moollon books, as I've received a specific inquiry about it and these sorts of things are prone to generate confusion. "May 2021, NOS body. UV-light treated/aged Light Lake Placid Blue, appears somewhat closer to Ice Blue...

Back on topic...if possible. I've written extensively on this subject in other forums, having worked from 1994 to 2011 in what later become known as the "K-pop" industry (and still produce indie artists form time to time), and have seen it from both sides of the camera. And very much related to...

Since we're specifically talking reggae/dub, I'd say anything with (1) tape/analog-flavored dark repeats, and (2) good tempo control for especially triplet eights on the fly/when switching songs, via a tap-tempo switch. $199 (L) or $299 (R) for the following two, but many can handle such duties...

I agree that a sturdy gig bag with too many pockets and coat hanger option reigns supreme at the price point. On a more (tone)colorful note, when it comes to tracking at my studio and seeing if some unexpected EQ/Dynamics can be milked out for an alternative take, I reach for my old JangleBox...

A bit too late for us to report in this thread, but as transparency regarding actual details of pre-owned Moollon bass specs has become an issue as of late (especially on Reverb), we'd just like to kindly clarify for future reference to the purchaser, that the original customer for SN 919 did...

Hehe, the trade-off is that my English is seems to be progressively waning, it seems ;) And much appreciated, sir! YJ is beyond busy but is back in good mental/physical health despite the slow build progress recovery after last Christmastime's near-collapse of everything. Happy to report that...

Ugh...So much for trying to type in bed without typos. Either way, you guys will get the gist with little effort: Pucker up like a fish with your [MOOL] and keep that tongue pressed on the palate as you say [lone].

To quote a Korean proverb, a Tiger will show up when he's being spoken of (호랑이도 제말하면 온다). Was a shame that our last NAMM show was a year before the one in which the fellow walked around and kindly asking companies how they themselves pronounced their names. But to be sure, when the majority of...

Music director for a convergent media (robots + video + kinetic sculpting etc.) studio, doing composition, sound design, and orchestration for the likes of Samsung, Hyundai, Lotte, SKT, The National Museum of Korea, the office of the president of the ROK, etc. The studio inner-room and view of...

Hi guys, thanks for the bump and the ask. Kenny's 100% correct in his above post And while we're on the subject, I might as well be informative with details other, since this has become a very frequent ask for those acquiring pre-owned Moollons. What's more is that we finally have tortoise J-V...

Hey everybody, dropping in to pass on a bit and heads up for major announcements on FB (nothing enticing, more like a state of the operation report for 2022) and will post them probably sometime this week here as well. Anyway... In response to discussion in the above, we admit that not...

Nicely done, especially for $1000 less than new! Some weird info in the ad (it's swamp ash + makassar ebony on maple), but that's to be expected after changing hands a few times. It's one of a few J-Classic Vs that were finished in what YJ called "Transparent Cocoa" or the like back when he had...
