Thank you so much for explaining what the shortage of
( digital ) chips means and what the consequences are, PJ ! 🙏

Now I understand what this means for Yamaha.

Horrible situation and how long will it take before the  present situation will be over ? 😥

Best regards,

Current situation in Australia is the SX-700 is still listed but no stock. SX-900 and Genos also no stock   The sx-900 has been out of stock probably for quite a few months now but I was lucky and found a used one (only a few months old)   Covid is causing major issues on anything that has to be imported!!
Currently : Tyros 4 Keyboard    Previous Keyboards : SX900, S650, E-373 and S550

Hi ChrisH :

Thank you for your feedback.🙏

Your statement is confirming the current situation sounds dramatic as far as the present production of Yamaha's arranger keyboards is concerned.

I should not be surprised if Yamaha are informing the world soon how they are intending to handle this problematic situation and what their plans are for the near future.

Again, let us cross our fingers and hope for the best.🤞

Best wishes, JH

All things will come right in the end. Covid has probably been most peoples concern.
Those of us who already have keyboards should enjoy playing what we have and not take up all our time worrying about what might be. SX900 are available in some of our shops in UK as are Genos.
  At the moment the only chips I want to hear about are those you get with fish.

Hi Eileen  :

Let me thank you for your kind words.🙏

I agree with you we are lucky Yamaha keyboard owners and do enjoy playing. 😃

It looks like the UK is more lucky than most other countries in the rest of the world and I am happy for you, guys.

On the other hand I feel very sorry for Yamaha and their dealers.

Most of these dealers are small family companies and they have to fight for every penny.

Best regards, JH

Hmmm....English fish and chips 👍. Only had them once but they were amazing! Wash thoroughly before playing your Genos afterwards.

Yes of course Lee. Last thing you want on your keys is Salt and vinegar as well as grease dose smell nice though. ;)

QuoteGenos seems to be available in USA/Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Genos-76-Key-Digital-Workstation/dp/B0764HBJ6Z/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=yamaha+genos&qid=1630526650&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-2

The price quoted in this link may not be the best . . . . other US retailers may have it for a better price . . . .

Today is Sep-11, I clicked the link and there is one available, I ordered it immediately.
Delivery is said to be on Sep-14. I hope I can get it as expected. I trusted Amazon for their delivery.
In US, the price of Genos is the same anywhere: 5999$ + sale tax.

Jeff Hollande

Is this price higher than in 2017 or ... equal ?

Plse advise. Thanks. JH

tyros2009

I did not look at Genos price in 2017 or 2018. I believe it was listed at 5,500$.
In 2021, it increases by 500$, a extra price to pay due to the shortage.
All new boards like SX700, SX900, KORG-PA700, KORG-PA1000 all get their sale price increased in 2021.

Jeff Hollande

Thank you for your feedback, Tyros2009.

The list price might have been USD 5,500 in 2017/18 but I cannot remember what the average Genos street price was at that time.

I understand the present USD 6,000 price is also a street price, am I right ?

Even when it is hard to say for the time being, due to the present chip shortage and the container transport problems, I may hope Yamaha will announce before January 1, 2022 what we can expect in 2022.

Cross my fingers and hope for the best.


Take care, JH

tyros2009

Yes, 6000$ is the price that all music stores ask for the Genos. During normal time, I can negociate to get some discount or some extra gears  along with this Genos. But, all stores stand firm, 6000$+tax is just for the Genos and nothing else. PLUS, if you order one today, most of them promise to ship by the end of 2021 or early 2022 because they do not have Genos in stock !!
And by keeping this order, your credit amount will be decreased by (6000$+tax). Sellers only charge your credit card when the product is actually shipped.

Hey Tyros2009  :

Reading your last message, I cannot hardly believe my own eyes.

What a situation ...

Bye for now !

In Mexico, my country, if there is Genos at a very good price: $ 4275.00 US Dollar

Jeff Hollande

Hi  :

Are you sure the Mexican price in USD is for a brand new Genos ?

Plse advise. Thanks !
JH

tyros2009

I like to know the price of brand new Genos in Mexico too.
Yesterday, after I put the order on Amazon, the 6000$ ONE is no longer listed. But another one pops up:

https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Genos-76-Key-Digital-Workstation/dp/B0764HBJ6Z/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=yamaha+genos&qid=1631461690&sr=8-2

The price of this one is 6,600$ + 360$ shipping. And it does not even mention "new" or "pre-owned".

For the last two months, in US, I have been looking to order Genos online. Every store ask for 6000$+tax and says that it will be available for the end of 2021-early 2022. Meaning it won't be shipped for months.

Check the attached pics

. . . Mexican Amazon is selling one Genos for approx $4,900 shipping included to Mexico locations. Ready to ship by 9/16.  Shipped by Amazon Mexico.  The price is in mexican pesos, the current rate is approx $1 US = $19.50 Mex pesos. (varies every day) Apparently it is a new keyboard.  But buyer would need to verify with vendor.  The vendor name listed is SonoRitmo . . . . .

Also,
....... Mercado Libre (something like mexican eBay) also offers a USED one for less than $4,500. Shipping included to mexican locations.

Hi Al,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback.
Very much appreciated.😃

Best regards, JH

Jeff Hollande

Hi Tyros2009  :

I feel very sorry for you.🙄
This is bad and sad news, I guess. 😥

Did you contact Yamaha USA about the present Genos lead time and price ?

If you have the intention to do so, I would be very grateful for sharing their reply.

Thank you for your help.

It looks to become a very serious problem.

Wish you all the best, JH


EileenL

I don't think you can call this a serious problem with all that is going on around the world. Different countries have different policies on how they supply keyboards. Here
in the UK we don't have a big problem with getting the keyboard you want and I am sure there are shops in the USA that have these keyboards also.
  I think this thread is getting a little stale now.
Eileen

tyros2009

In US, not only keyboards, cars and other devices using microchips seem to be affected. New cars are hard to find, old cars are sold at price higher than normal.

Anyway, my Genos is delivered today (less than 4 days since I ordered).
The next one on Amazon is listed for 1000$ more (tax included), no buyer yet.
I am happy having my Genos at home. Will do a lot of tests in the next few weeks.

I have a used Genos available in the US for sale.  Let me know if anyone is interested.

musicteach

I just got a new one for about $4,200... but from a Yamaha dealer in Africa.  Man, I feel good about my purchase now....I actually wanted a sx900, but they were out of stock.  Then when I tried the sx700, and the A5000 I just had to buy the Genos.

I bought mine recently from Alto Music. I didn't get any bargain price, but at least they had one available in the USA.  I did get what they call "Alto Bucks" for 15% of the price that could be applied to a new order, which I put into buying some accessories for the keyboard.  So I guess it all worked out in the end.

According to their website, they still have at least one available right now.
