346,500 yen is around $3800. Seems kind of high to me. |

The Google translation is pretty funny in parts too ...
quote:3 / The compact body and short scale 4 sizes small size, high performance model with real sex.
quote:Possesses a heavy and unique sound thick warm Alembic.
quote: Color: Natural / grain Brand: ALEMBIC Status: A: Beauty Products
Price is double that of a new MTD K6 model, which seems comparable to what you would expect to see in the Netherlands. Prices in general seem to be higher in Japan. (Message edited by adriaan on May 20, 2010) |

Just to clarify, the page that Greg linked to isn't just one store, it's all the Alembics registered through the "Digimart" site. Which is still a lot of great Alembics! The listing for the 3/4 Spoiler isn't very interesting - it says the top is zebrawood, the back mahogany, with master volume, master "tone" (filter of course!), and "filter tone adjustment switch" (Q switch). Unfortunately, the yen rate is very bad for the dollar right now ($1=90 yen today), so it's even more expensive! |
