KB Prices in 2011 - 12/26/10 11:28 PM

Watch this space,
http://www.thomann.de/gb/ketron_audya.htm

I bet the Audya will be below £3000 sometime this year, I paid £4000 for mine one year back and it is still dropping. I don't think the market can't sustain anymore, if Wing turns out to be a good piece of kit at £2500 maybe that is the price that can be sustained for all KBs, anything above £4000 is a no go area now this is obvious. I know it is what we will pay but we are all getting much wiser. SZ helps a lot. Building KBs in small numbers is for the brave, lets see is Wersi can get it right this time, I have my doubts, there off to a bad start allready???

If you think you did pay too much for your Audya, or less than you think you should have,
just buy it here in Norway.
The one who charge most is the imorter (NOK 57950.00) = € 7831 at todays currency.
The cheepest buy today, is a musicstore/webbshop (NOK 46900.00) = € 5974
(Tyros 4 = € 3916 / PA2X Pro € 3502)

Hopefully we'll see Wersi P Wing become a reality, I think OAS / PC based system is the way
to go, and since Wersi is announced to (NOK 29990.00) € 3820 when it shows up, I can sure buy
a lot of the addons before it reach the skyhigh pricelevel of Audya.

Cheers

Jonny,

I don't think these high KB prices are sustainable, the cost to build a KB is a fraction of the KB end user cost.

Take a look at this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Korg-PA2X-/250745362281

There are three PA2x for sale, the real value of this KB one year old is around £1000 and I doubt anyone paying £1000, this is the state of the market. It's shot !
