RE: XB-40s on ebay?

["Rick Epping" <REpping@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your message.  The XB-40's USA Suggested Retail Price of
$99.95 is not binding on the trade, meaning that dealers are free to set
their own selling price.  The keys listed on this ebay page were the
original intended keys in which the XB-40 was advertised to have been
produced.  For technical reasons the keys to be produced have been
modified as follows: Low E, Low F, Low F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D,
Eb.  The first shipment, due in soon, will be in limited keys.  We don't
yet have a delivery date for the remaining keys but hopefully they will
be following without too great a delay.

Best regards, 

Rick Epping
Hohner, Inc.
