Korg's European delivery misery: status update

I'm not aware of any deliveries from Bonners yet - spoke to them again yesterday and they're still saying it should be in before the end of the month.
I'm fairly high on the list, so got in on the free monitors deal before they stopped offering it.

I saw a post earlier that only selected shops get Kroni and not the bigger ones. Probably the reason is that if big stores would have them, they would be sold immediately and even more complaining would occur. This way, several stores get one thus having always somewhere in a country at least a few Kronis available.

I wonder when the big rollout will start.

The bigger ones get one as well, as far as I heard, at least here in Germany.

Of course that means trouble with customers. That's the reason why for example Thomann will not even list it before it is available in numbers that can somehow be handled.

The Kroni they would receive probably would be sold almost instantly.

Just got some more info: there are currently 3 Kronos 73 in the Benelux, one of them is at music house Lyana in Stein (Limburg), one at Da Capo, other one probably in Belgium or Luxembourg. There is an 88 at Oostendorp, Wezep.

I know the first two are demonstration ready.

I got my K88 delivered to home from PMT in Birmingham. They were surprised it came in so quick and so was I! Serial no 17!

Give Neil Price a call at PMT in Birmingham and see what he can do if you are in the UK.
