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.
A joke or something?

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..

If Korg starts producing Nord Lead A1 ... Hmm they will be in 80% of the original size ..

Re: A joke or something?
perhaps this is legit and a byproduct of Japanese labeling laws? Korg is the exclusive distributor of Nord instruments in Japan...
