New Stage 3 shipping!!?? Very likely, yes.....

[Jonnie Cache]

Contacted Sweetwater yesterday. They still say October. That assumes that they get enough for my order.

But today, I got an email from MusicStore.de and they have my Stage 3 88 in stock and are shipping it on Monday!

I placed my pre-order with Sam Ash Manhattan last week. They are insistent that my NS3-88 will arrive there this coming Monday, September 11, and will be on my doorstep some time mid next week. I'm not super optimistic, but I guess it just depends when the boat arrives.

Keep us posted here if you can. If you actually get yours when they say you will then we know the boat made it and the rest of our boards shouldn't be too far behind!

My guess is that I won't get it this week. However, Pablo confirmed for me on August 30 that the container had left Stockholm as of that date. I do not know the exact date it left, just that it was August 30 or before. It's not unreasonable to say it will take a good month to come across on the boat, arrive at port, clear customs, get trucked to AM&S, then have the small number of instruments earmarked for Sam Ash Manhattan to be shipped there.

If they do ship it today, I will post here!

Update:

I've been in touch with my sales rep at Sam Ash. He contacted AM&S today and confirmed that the shipment is on a truck due to arrive Friday 9/15, +/- 1 day. So that means the first wave of Stage 3 88s should be shipping out on Monday.

Time for some disappointment guys. Just got this text from my sales rep (yes he texted me)...

Sorry for false alarm we just got an email from distributor that they were in error ... will have a update later today. Sounded to go to be true ...i apologize

Wow, if that is the new date, I am compelled to get a different keyboard. I ordered the NS3C in May.

I need a backup keyboard now;

That may be for new orders, pre-order peeps have been emailed a Oct 7 ship date

I just checked several online stores in the US and just about all of them are saying December for new orders.
Looks like I may be getting a nice XMas gift for myself
Hopefully all the bugs will be worked out by then.
