I've just noticed that both Gear4Music and HTFR have posted delivery dates of 29/30th June on their web sites.

Interesting if it's true, as the other *major* retailers (DV, Bonners, Dawsons etc) still seem to have no exact delivery date - Maybe June, maybe July maybe August!

I might just give G4M a call...

I had an update from my contact at DV and KorgUK estimated my K73 could be here for the 2nd week of July.

Bonners appear to be quite non-committal regards delivery dates (as are most sellers)

In their defence, I think they've been quite busy, but I've not heard anything from them since before the Kronos weekend.

I have called, but not had any information back YET......

However, I'm in no hurry (not really, but I want to sound like I'm patient!! Laughing ), but I would like to know when I can receive my machine Smile

*edited to add balancing "YET" - certainly not having a go at Bonners, as I'm hoping to hear from them this week Smile <fingers> Laughing

In the Netherlands I got a mail that the availability would be KNOWN last week of June, so it probably means they will not be directly available from that time. And that's only for the Kronos 61, for the 73 and 88 even less information is known.

Had an email from Tony @ Bonners today:

No news on dates yet, but the Kronos weekend went well and he's had some serious time with it now. All good so far!

Hopefully he'll be able to post up his views/opinions of it soon.

In Germany just the ones for the showroom will arrive in June but the Dealers are not allowed to sell them. A couple of Kronos will arrive 2 to 4 weeks later. But just for preorders (i will get one of them Wink) perhaps for the UK it's different...

I'm told that some K-61s shipped from Korg UK today, and are en route to Korg Pro Centres. It may be like Laste7 said though - they might not be for sale. Or maybe my info is wrong.

I'm going to be optimistic and predict the first UK forum member will have a Kronos on Wednesday. Only time will tell though.
