I could imagine that there are people that still need to play and hear it for themselves. I'm one of the pre-order people that are taking the mild risk that I won't like what I hear when I get it home.

What I can't imagine, though, is that getting one small feature further defined by a Korg employee would make or break the purchase of such a colossal synth.

Is anyone in that camp, though?

BTW, I'm not trying to poke fun at people for asking questions on the forum.

...mmm..Oasys has "Style", finest...a Classic..., one of the Best Keyboards ever, but to me "Kronos" will be his "little" brother, but never will touch him in the "Quality" world, is my opinion... Lol!

no problem, none of us can fully escape the clutches of capitalism.
There are many forms of it.

Price is important

Post by spinoria »

I have decided to buy the Kronos 88 but I think my upper limit will be 3300 EUR.

Depending on prices in Europe I might go to New York and buy one and ship it home myself.
Need to calcute the costs for my trip, shipping and VAT.
