Price increase Feb 2021

Post by themixtape »

Just checked Zzounds... saw the Electro 61D up $100, and the Electro HP is up $200... Stage 3 is up $200, same with the Nord Grand.... but, Nord Piano 4 is the same.

Wonder why. I know a lot of stuff increased right after covid, but Nord was stable... was hoping they would still be.... anyone know why? Thx!

Thomann.de (Germany) increased NS3 88 about 88EUR as well since November... Not sure if there is so much currency fluctuations between Krona and Euro..

Not sure what you saw, but it seems to me it costs exactly the same as when I bought it a year ago. € 3.499 then and € 3.499 now.

Maybe that's something different: We had a temporary VAT reduction in 2020-H2 which is over.

+1 I think this is probably the main reason, at least as far as US are concerned.

Yep, as FZiegler already mentioned, the USt (VAT, IVA) has been reduced from 19 to 16 % beginning of July and set back to normal at the beginning of this year. As far as I‘ve seen the major stores such as thomann, musicstore, session etc. have only adjusted their nord prices to that. Furthermore there have always been aggressive price promotions before Christmas every year and „back to manufacturer‘s recommended price“ afterwards. By now the situation in Germany seems steady.
