My dealer (northeastern U.S.) is telling me there are literally no rosewood models left in the country, and I'll have to wait until month's-end when the 2014 shipment arrives; at which point he will incur a manufacturer's price increase. Are others experiencing this? Hoping James will weigh in. Thanks, Randy

You may wish to double-check the situation with Kawai America, by contacting their offices via the this page. Kind regards, James x Employed by Kawai Japan, however the opinions I express are my own.

Bold font change is mine. I understand these words to mean that the shop was going to charge frb63 at the new price, so he/she would have to top up, pay the difference of the new and the old price. If that's not the case, why was the dealer mentioning the price increase? If I'm wrong, frb63, please correct me, before I rant anymore. Last edited by TheodorN; 04/04/14 01:12 PM.
