''Italian Engineering!!

All made (not just assembled) in Italy.

There must be a reason(s) for this, right?''

don't know now, but until a few years ago, all these arrangers were made in Italy. The synth workstation were always made in Japan. I am Italian and I think that the reason is because arranger keyboard players were in high demand in touristic places like Rimini, were musicians were in demand in the hotels there.

Don't know now, though, it's been many years that I don't live in Italy.
