So I guess nobody knows ..or will comment... if any Kronus keyboards have been shipped yet?

Apresmidi2010, I hope you dont believe anything TEPCO says!! The TEPCO president just apologized now.. for Chernobl crisis level 7 radiation?

I seriously wonder what the radiation levels are in Fukaya..where these keyboards are built? It looks to me like Fukaya is about 130 miles from the TEPCO reactors. Hmmm! Radiation is in the air, water and anything near that damn reactor site. Sad situation, but should we be concerned about products being shipped from Japan?

Same here in Germany. I got the answer from 'Music Store' - one of the larges shop in Europe: because of the earthquake will the Kronos 88 not be produced and not available in Germany.

Korg should inform there large shops/distribution better.

Are you saying that radiation can get into the keyboards ?
A keyboard full of radiation in your home is so not good. .

Hey guys:

What should I say.

Some of you do not want to believe what I say. Or such people want to doubt TEPCO (which is quite all right with me).

Ok, here it goes:

1) I live in Tokyo, Japan.

2) I am a Japanese and my mother tongue is Japanese.

3) I did not have any blackout to date since 3/11, since my place is out of blackout area. My place is near to the center of Tokyo (and that is the reason my place did not have the blackout - it is somewhat closer to many facitilites, including the Tokyo University which consumes hell lot of power).

4) TEPCO declared rolling blackouts and did it for sometime.

5) Blackouts stopped. TEPCO is saying they will not do it until the end April.

6) I do not dare to call up Korg to ask about delivery, because I almost know they will not give me any concrete response.

7) I do not mean to guarantee anything about Korg delivery, be it Kronos or Roland Jupiter 80 or the Yamaha Motif newest.

I do not believe in TEPCO generally, with 99% of Japanese. Yes they are f*ck*ng liars.

If you want to know anything further from me, write something.

Sorry if I am rude, I am drunk. I will stay up for an hour from now.

I've seen some of his videos on YouTube. Rather comical.

Yup, he meant to be that way.

But I love his music. Being comical or otherwise usually do not hinder me to appreciate music.

Good question.. and I dont want to "glow in the dark" playing a Kronus! But I guarantee anything made or that comes from that area is going to have radiation.. some..how much?? .. maybe not enough to be concerned with or who knows. The farm land is not fit for grazing now and the water has it in it..plus the air is toxic. Remember it is just like Chernobl there now!! I just wonder about flat screens and many other electronic items made in Japan. And TEPCO isnt being honest about anything so who would trust them! A simple apology and paying the people there a few "peanuts" is a slap in the face to the Japanese people.

Even if a "Kronos cargo" is initially not contaminated, ships and containers could become The problem.

Now I am rather motivated to call Korg....

People you need to stop worrying.

The latest info (for the U.S.) is Kronos 61s arriving sometime in May, and Kronos 73/88s arriving sometime in June.

If that changes, we will hear about it.

MartinHines:

They are not worried about non-delivery or delay, buy about delivery from a contaminated country.
