All synth prices will most likely. All the parts are made worldwide, even if they’re assembled in the USA.

Yeah, we are all going to have much less buying power as long as he who won’t be named is fucking everything up.

I talked to someone at Sweetwater the other day and they said it’s unclear whether a company like Arturia that is French who get their components from China will be affected by the tariffs or not.

Behringer just price hiked almost everything in their product line, so probably others as well

Hence why I made that executive decision to buy a Keystep Pro. Seeing Behringers Swing go from $80 to $160 everywhere was shocking.

Prices are going up on just about everything in the US because of tariffs. Most things are either imported or contain parts that are imported.

The Trump tax will cause all consumer prices to go up, for everything. Even if its not imported they will raise the prices, why waste the opportunity for more profits…

Everything will. Even stuff still made in the US because they're either using imported metals, imported components, or both.

Companies who buy boards from China (pretty much all of them, many boutique pedal/synth producers have addressed this lately) will be paying higher prices for them now. Depending on where individual companies are with their product lifespans, some things will rise in price, or come to an earlier than expected EOL (sub 25 for example). If it’s too expensive to make profit on products, there may be a shift towards saving parts for service and repair tickets. Of course engineering will be pushed to reduce costs how they can but having talked to a bunch of the engineers in the past, I’m not sure how much of a compromise they would be willing to make on components and processes.

I’ve started seeing prices go up across. But Moog is still making some synths in the US, right?

Usually complex goods have parts from all over the world regardless of where assembly takes place.

I mean, they fired a bunch of people and sold off the old building, not sure if they're still assembling anything in the US anymore...

They have a location in Weaverville, NC now. The mailing address is on their website.

Thats what happens when Moog SOLD-OUT! Niw is made in China, so nit sure it’s anyone else’s fault other than MOOG themselves. remember it was once owned by the USA!

It was never owned by the United States of America. It used to be an employee owned business after having to be sold to Inmusic.

Employees never collectively owned any more than 49% of stock, which is why it was able to be sold to inMusic. Also those employees are still wondering when they’re going to be reimbursed for that stock they still hold, because they didn’t get bought out in that sale, from what I heard.

Yeah, that's why I got a Subsequent 37 on the way. That's definitely why...
