hi, availability is low, this is the best site to find one fast, usually there is one owner wanting to sell if the right offer is made. check ebay, craigs list and search the internet ( should have info and  history etc ) and ebay everyday til you find one,  probably a low of 1000 were made to a high of 3000, I dunno for sure.  you are lucky to pay a low of $1000 to $1,800 and a high of $2,500 + for one, depends on condition, color, accessories etc., and how much owner wants to give it up,  go to you tube or google video.com and type in will calhoun wave drum and you can see it in action, he is traveling around nationally hosting a clinic and the wave drum is a major part of his clinic and great to see in person - go towww.willcalhoun.com for a clinic and tour schedule also check your local drum shops for his clinic. good luck --- On Thu, 9/11/08, Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com> wrote: From: Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com> Subject: [korg_wavedrum] Newb queeries about the Wavedrum?

How much does one , reasonably , need to  pay to purchase one? I'm really intrigued but it was always  out of my price range when it was commercially  available. yours, sincerely,  Rick Walker
