Well after waiting almost 2 hours for 'call you back in 20 mins' I spoke to someone else called Tom, who said they are starting to fill the orders and guess what, sometime in July. ugh!!

Only 5 hours into it, but I can say safely say that this is the best keyboard I've ever owned Very Happy

Yes, I had my concerns that I COULD replicate everything in software (Komplete 7 and Logic 9 will just about do it), but, and it's a BIG BUT, nothing prepared me for the immediacy of this thing... Ideas just pour out of it in a way that faffing around with VST's/AU's just couldn't manage.

I was also a little worried about the keybed, at first it seemed a touch on the light side compared to my Fantom, but It doesn't take long to get used to (in fact switching back to the Roland felt like running in syrup!).

The display is great (I have to wear glasses for anything within 3 ft anyway), and the font size is no problem, although it can be a bit hit and miss occasionally poking at the smaller "radio" buttons.

Overall, I'm seriously pleased with it... 'scuse me for the next few days, I'm locking myself away, and may not be out for a while

Very Happy

Glasgow stores are saying mid to late July for K61s so I would expect K88 to be well into August!

According to Bonners, they are expecting pre-ordered K88s in July but no guarantees.

It was the 61. Don't think there's any 73/88s around yet

instruments2go.co.uk guys have mentioned "Stock due in 1 week" for K77 and K88 since a week. Today they say it's going to be available towards end-July or early Aug.

There is an overall lack of judgment/confidence within the UK retailers, any idea what's happening?

I am betting mid july myself possibly even next week for Bonners, but I agree and it's extremely frustrating that they just don't know shows lack of organisation, someone isn't doing their job! Rolling Eyes
