Still waiting for Korg UK to give Digital Village a price. I'm starting to think Bonners are going out on a limb and guessing at the price, bit of a gamble if they've underestimated it. |

If the price is lower we pay the lower price. I'm happy with that, plus the free monitors |

K61 from Bonners - not enough room in my studio (that'll be the box room then!!) for the 73/88. Not sure if I need the free Behringers, but maybe they're better than my M1 520 Actives, so I'll give them a try. _________________ Synth DIY Projects |

Bonners £200 deposit for the K61.
Not guaranteed from first shipment though
But that might be a good thing - will possibly give me chance to play it in depth prior to mine arriving.
At least the deposit is returnable should I not like it..... my problem then is that IF I don't like it, what to get......

FWIW, Tony @ Bonners stated that they DO have a pricelist for Kronos.
However, it is the price that they (Bonners) can buy it in for...... they've calculated the final price from that...... so it won't be too far off imho.
It was one of the questions I've asked. My guess with DV is that they're holding off to see how much profit they can make on them (MUCH bigger company than Bonners) _________________ Yamaha SY77 & KX88, SSL Nucleus, Korg Kronos 61, Wavestation A/D, Access Virus B, Roland XP30, DeepMind12D, System 1m, V-Synth XT, Focusrite Red16Line, Unitor 8, Akai S3000 XL, Alesis Quadraverb+, Focal Shape Twins, Full fat iMac, Logic Pro X, ProTools 2021, loadsa plugins.

I wouldn't hold my breath about DV being competitive at the moment if their price on the new PA3X is to be believed. Most sites are quoting £2999 for the PA3X 76, DV have it on their site for £3599 !!!! Yikes |

K61 from A&C Hamilton, for a £200 refundable deposit, with a free £200 of gear of my choice.
Unless you're one of the first on their list, I don't think anybody can guarantee you one from the first shipment. By all accounts, nobody knows how many they're going to get, particularly with the situation in Japan.

Those are the street prices that a number of retailers came out with when they came back from the dealer launch in April. They aren't guaranteed, but it's unlikely that the actual street price will be higher. |

In my conversations with DV, it seems Korg UK are being as incommunicative with them as they are with us buying public, so maybe there's a "special relationship" between Bonners and Korg UK That PA3X price must just be an RRP posted in error or something, DV guarantee to pricebeat any valid UK pricing, so it'd be pointless for them to try and sell it at a higher price. |

That's one happy chappy here then.
Got it at the price as DV + a free set on monitors (even if I sell them for £100), that brings my price down.
