Dear Erwin,
We are expecting to start a final production run of new Synthis (Synthi A and
VCS3) in early 2009. We have none in stock at this time.
We only have enough Synthi A cases for 40 units, and cabinets built for
30 VCS3s (Putneys). Once the Synthi A cases are all used-up we will have to
consider redesigning the suitcase Synthi. The waiting list for both Synthi A and
VCS3 is already longer than this. However we do anticipate that many of the
long-term waiters will have dropped out when we re-establish contact with them
shortly. This creates an element of uncertainty about the availablility of the
last Synthi As but VCS3s should remain available as the hardwood cabinets can
still be produced. Note that at present there are no keyboards available (KS or
DK2) although we expect to make the mechanical keyboard DK2 available again once
we are up and running.
At the moment we are quoting a notional lead-time of 18 months for Synthi As and
VCS3s, but once we start delivering completed units we should be able to be a
bit more specific. Prices are 3000.00 GBP for the Synthi A and 3200.00 for the
VCS3 (excluding VAT - if you live in the EEC).
If you wanted to take your chances and join the waiting list we just need a
deposit in the form of a personal cheque (not a bank draft) made out to EMS for
the equivalent of 150.00 UK pounds (or 300 USD), which we will not attempt to
bank or cash. At any time you can request the return of this cheque, for example
if you managed to find a used Synthi on ebay. If you want to keep track of
progress at our end you are welcome to email for an update.
The Synthis we are making are to the original design using the original
components.
Let me know if you need any further information.
Best wishes - Robin Wood
