I have yet to see or test a Genos here.
1: Dealers will not bring them over without a commitment to buy one, sight unseen, and paying a deposit in advance.
In case of no deal, some cash may be deducted, for costs and trouble incurred for bringing the instrument over.
2: Genos prices are tumbling here, and I feel that if I wait long enough, they may tumble even further, down to something acceptable.
So far, they have come down from 4499€ to 3553€.
That's a saving of 946€.
3: When the T4 was launched, I didn't see much difference from my T3, especially with the styles, so I waited.
Then came the T5, the styles were still the same, so I waited.
Now it's the Genos, and the styles are still the same.....again.
4: An unforeseen family expenditure came up.
5: After reading about the countless problems with the Genos on this very forum, especially with the Genos crashing, freezing or hanging, I will wait until these, and other problems that have yet to be identified here, are remedied.
6: I am a patient man, Genos prices will fall even further.
When I first predicted in November that Genos prices will tumble, my argument, naturally, was hotly contested.
Used Genoses are slowly beginning to appear on second hand websites.
Being sold by those whose expectations have not been fully met.
So I will wait, even a year if I have to.
In the meantime I will make my T3 sing like a Nightingale whenever it's required to.
When I do acquire a Genos, it will not be as a status symbol, but as a work tool.
No more, and no less.
Best Regards.
Pianoman.
