Some retailers are still selling the KN2600 for around �650-�750 at present. I am happy to say I like this keyboard with so many features as this is my first arranger keyboard

Your surmise that Turnkey have excessive unsold 2600 stock does not add up because had they had them for a while at wholesale they would have cost them somewhere in the region of �600 per unit so to sell old stock at �299 retail including VAT would be like committing hari kari.
The only way Turnkey are selling them so cheap is because Turnkey must have done a deal with Panasonic
which begs the question WHY

You assume they bought them for around �600 per unit........well looking at their back catalogues which I have, they were selling them for �595 and then dropped to �499...so it is possible they bought them for �299 cost price based on volume buying. They are distributors remember which their cost prices are cheaper than the retailers cost price. They are either selling them at a financial loss or break even. As I have been involved with distribution / trade sales in the past most retailers etc when selling stock to get rid of it sell at cost price initally then drop the price at a loss to make way for new stock.

We can only wait until Panasonic possibly tell us about future plans if any.
