#Old lowrey organ models upgrade#

I donРІР‚в„ўt think it will be overnight, but I would think that the dealers, especially Allens as the only appointed dealer here in the UK, will want, or have to drop their current prices of used models as there will not be an upgrade or part exchange path to a new model any more. So where does that leave us ? РІР‚вЂњ well for me I will be sticking with my Stardust for now, but that may change if the current high market value of used LowreyРІР‚в„ўs crashes here in the UK.

And eventually both stock and spare parts will be depleted and no longer available for anything, let alone any servicing that may be required. One of the key words from the letter was РІР‚СљSELECTEDРІР‚Сњ, which infers that production will not continue across the entire current range of models. I would personally think that the current stock and manufacture would need to be increased due to panic buying demand РІР‚вЂњ In other words, youРІР‚в„ўll need to get in quick while you can if your thinking of getting one of the newest models ! KAWAI have stated that they expect the planned and continued production from October 2018 though January 2019 will provide enough inventory to supply selected Lowrey models through April of 2019 РІР‚вЂњ but this is based entirely on past sales history, which i donРІР‚в„ўt think will be accurate or more than enough to supply the demand. I guess I / We will find out very soon, if not, then at the next Allens Music Extravaganza that I am attending here in the UK next weekend, IРІР‚в„ўm sure there will be many discussions and speculation. Obviously this is a letter sent out to the dealers in USA, how it will effect those of us living in the UK is still yet to be discovered.Р”В«ut with the production ceasing, I would think a similar situation will be applied to the UK and European Markets. KAWAI stated this in a recent letter to all their Lowrey Dealers in the United States of America, dated the 5th October 2018 РІР‚вЂњ (click on image to enlarge) Earlier today, I learnt that the supply and manufacture of Lowrey organs willР’В cease production in January 2019.Р”Р„ Letter sent out to main dealers confirms this to be true and can be viewed below
