Back in Japan on vacation.....

Walked into a local dealer and was shocked to see the Korg Kronos2 88-key going for just under the advertised US prices for the 61-key version.

The 61-key version in Japan is approx $2300.

Just wanted to share this info.......so tempted to pull out the credit card.

You cant compare Japanese prices of electronics to us or eu

Heck, sometimes you can't even BUY something in the USA that is available in Japan. I wanted a particular model of camcorder a few years ago made by Panasonic that just was not available anywhere in the USA so I had to buy it direct from Japan.

Too bad shipping a single 88 key Kronos from Japan would likely wipe out any savings to be had. Not to mention I would be on pins and needs the entire time hoping it wouldn't get wrecked during the trip.

I paid US$ 5,000 for K61 in Brazil in 2011

That's shocking too, isn't it?
