A joke or something?

Postby MoBroCN » 09 May 2016, 16:15

I'm sorry to post my first post like this here.
I just saw this Nord a1 today on a local 2nd hand website (a Chinese ebay). The weird thing is that it bears a sticker that says "Korg Nord A1". I don't think Korg ever made any Nord boards but this sticker looks pretty "real".
I'm a bit puzzled.

Fake sticker, easy... and probably fake keyboard too (or...just a joke?)

"NO GUARANTEE IS APPLIED WHEN USED OUTSIDE JAPAN"

Technically, this is not a lie.

Maybe just an error? I didn't know there were fake Nords, but fakes instruments are somehow common in the Asian market so who knows..

perhaps this is legit and a byproduct of Japanese labeling laws? Korg is the exclusive distributor of Nord instruments in Japan...
