Hello: As to your question, yes, most emphatically a reputable stateside dealer. One of the largest, if not the largest gearhouses in US. I do have a designated salesperson there, and have asked about the unit, but gotten no definitive answer...GregC wrote:good sized established US dealer ?
if so, a decent salesperson will be able to access and track Nautilus shipping progress as it moves on ocean bound freight containers and reaches the shores here in CA or even Washington.

Previously owned: Kronos 73, Grandstage 88, Kross 2 MB 61, Kross 2 MB 88.
Would love to stick with Korg, but I'm getting a little impatient with the whole thing... (m.)
Greg: I purchased on Dec. 7. That was Pearl Harbor Day, wasn't it? I hope I don't get bombed!... BTW, it was SW. I can say that, right? My designated salesperson said I was #7 in the queue. For some reason, that's not particularly reassuring. It's probably because I worked in audio sales for many years, and have a pretty good feel for when things are going haywire with equipment roll-outs. Maybe I'm reading more into it than necessary. At any rate, thanks for the comments. (m.)GregC wrote:signet wrote:Hello: As to your question, yes, most emphatically a reputable stateside dealer.

thats a lot of Korg.
If you ordered this week, folks that ordered in Dec/Jan are ahead of you. A pecking order, so to speak.
I think you have to get at the #'s and go from there.
What is SW or Krafts
" allocation ' of the 1st bunch of Nautilus ?
Korg 'promised ' them some # early on. And that batch is "supposed " to be on shore by now.
Once you know that #, where do you stand in the pecking order ? From my experience, I really like Kraft. They communicate.
Let us know if you run into very tight lips.
I worked for Sony for 9 years. That helped get a feel.signet wrote:Greg: I purchased on Dec. 7. That was Pearl Harbor Day, wasn't it? I hope I don't get bombed!... BTW, it was SW.

I used to have good relations with sales reps in audio, because I worked in NYC. That was a hub for audio. I'll need to talk to my SW salesperson. The problem here is that I sold my Kross2 88 to a friend prematurely, and now have no main keyboard. Only an Arturia controller, which is not all that useful to me as a pianist. This was my first big ticket purchase from SW. I used Zz previously to this...GregC wrote:I worked for Sony for 9 years. That helped get a feel.signet wrote:Greg: I purchased on Dec. 7.

Just the same, ask your SW salesperson the 'right ' questions.
Such as " where and what is the problem ". Many salespeople are trained to never say anything remotely critical of a big co. Get past that, somehow.
Its simple, the salesperson calls his Korg USA disti rep, and asks directly the question. The disti rep has to know. Incoming knowledge is part of his job.
People like myself have no direct communication contact at Sony Inc in Tokyo. Not that I haven't tried.
