Ordered a collection of Thonk Tall Toppers on a Wednesday, and had them ship, fly across the pond, clear customs and show up at my door 6 days later! Spectacular service, and the Tall Toppers work per... See more

Best Synth DIY store on the planet

When you buy from Thonk, it doesn't feel like a purchase from corporation, it's more like meeting up with a fellow enthusiast who has something new and cool to share. They are a foundation pillar of the DIY community, not just in the UK, but around the world.

Prices are incredibly reasonable, and they even include free express delivery on orders above a certain value, even to me here in Los Angeles.

Customer service is ace - they will bend over backwards to do what it takes to make things right.

Been Thonk-ing for ages - brilliant!

Have been using Thonk for years now - the whole team are great. Friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. I’ve got a tendency to ask annoying questions/special orders, and they always sort me out brilliantly. Fantastic company, highly recommended for any synth DIY needs.

Excellent service.

Quick delivery. Great build documentation, especially as i'm a beginner with electronics.
Support very quickly helped me fix a mistake I had made during my build.
I'll keep DIYing with Thonk for sure.

I had a very uncanny feeling reading the previous review…

I had a very uncanny feeling reading the previous reviewer's comment, as it so closely mirrors my own experience of this unethical company that i could have written it nearly word for word. I'm glad to say that i wasn't subjected to uncalled-for penalising behaviour from them for anything like the length of time nor degree that the other chap was, and am very sorry to hear he had to endure that, but it was not pleasant to face nevertheless, and certainly stressful to deal with. My case was resolved by a third party at my behest after i made numerous attempts to avoid having to take that course of action, and i have little doubt that had it not been possible to use impartial arbitration may well be ongoing.

Buyer beware - this company thinks it has the right to lay down the law, and they don't like being told otherwise.
