    I've been patiently waiting for this to drop for ~5 years, and I was hoping that it would somehow be under $1000.

    Oh my god. $4400 is... a lot of money. $175 shipping had better include a Jeff Bridges Cameo video.

    Don't get me wrong: I suspect that he's spent millions of dollars getting the project to this point, and that it's a mechanically perfect instrument. Huge respect for caring this much and seeing the project through.

    But damn.

      Yeah, I've been waiting for it for years too. I thought it was going to be substantially more than $4400 (more like $6-7K). Under $1,000 is unfortunately simply impossible. Used Wideluxes go for a fair bit more than $1K.

      That said, too much for me right now. Maybe someday.
