Greetings all, haven't been on here in ages... new job, new location, getting things done, but have a real problem and hopefully someone has an answer.

Right after my move here in July I bought both a Yammie P-95 and Korg Pa 500 to replace the boards I had to leave behind. I ordered through Sweetwater because I got a special financing deal. The P-95 came in within a week, but the PA 500 is still nowhere in sight and Sweetwater has already posted and cancelled two shipping dates for the Pa's to arrive and are now jsut saying any day now. Does anyone know if there are problems with Korg Italy and the shipping? Are the PA 500's just out of stock everywhere?

School starts here on Wednesday and I was hoping rto have my complete setup in my room by then, plus I've been asked to sit in with the worship team of the new church I've been going to and wanted the PA as well as P-95...

Signed,

Frustrated in Kansas

if i remember correctly(i might be mistaken) but i think the italy plant close down for a month or so for holiday or possible re-tooling the assembly line. also, arn't the korg arrangers now being made in china or indonesia now? i've been thinking about getting a pa500 too. anyboby else out there have any thoughts.

just checked americanmusical.com out nj. they have them in stock.

i have bought from this company before, ther're good.

oops, that was a scratch and dent for 929. no new in stock hmmmmmmmm

I'm a Korg dealer, and I have had the PA500s on order for almost 5 months now, not sure what the problem is, but they did say they were expecting more in September.

That's says something for the demand of the Pa500.....best bang for the buck....in an arranger.

I talked to a sweetwater rep just yesterday about the same thing. He said he doesn't believe the date of "next week" will happen. Going Roland....

Whoa!!!! Better wait till you try the BK5..side by side..

BK has better drums, better choirs ...scats missing from the PA 800 and I am sure the 500...

BK plays wav files , MP3s,....the PA500 can not install the optional MP3 card...

BK has 128 polyphonic compared to the 500's 80..

The Pa500 has a touch screen, but so dense to0 touch(again I am comparing to the 800)..

Get your butt over here so we can see how they compare...





BK5 comes in on average less SSSS than the PA500

Very soon Fran..........hang in there....
