Dear Friends,

This is my first post in this forum Smile

I'm eager to buy a PA800 in Iran. They say that all of the PA800 available in shops are made in China and there is no "Made in Italy" Now.

Is this correct?

I think it's kinda weird that such an expensive arranger is made in china!

I'd appreciate any comment on this post Smile

Regards,
Sina

PA2X & PA800 is made in Italy. PA500 is made in China.

I don't know for sure, but it may be that many of the 2X and 800 components are made in China and then assembled in Italy. If Italian trade rules are anything like our Canadian ones, then that would qualify it to have a Made in Italy label. Anyway, it's all down to quality control no matter where it's made.

Hi Sina,
Not too long ago Paolo from Korg Italy said:

".....but to be precise Pa2X and Pa800 are manufactured in Italy. In any case, the products we make in China are made in our own factories, with a very tight control on the product line".
