Omnichord for babies?

No baby's education is complete without minor chords.

How the f@#% are omnichords over $1k now? What is going on in gear world?
I picked up an OM-84 for about $175 when Adventure Time made them cool. It had it's original stickers and everything but at some point batteries had exploded in it so there was some cleanup to do. For <$200 it was great fun but there is no way it's worth more than that and you shouldn't feel like you're missing out on anything by not shelling out $1K for one.

Some venn diagram of keyboard nerds hovering around general anime interest breeds $1K prixes, maybe, but also brings to mind that analog autoharps are always about $200, too (since it's a matter of strings & felt pad integrity, but also they are heavy).

But like Curtis said, maybe it's a matter of too many people letting the batteries eggsplode, along with general scarcity otherwise, that has led to this situation.

Whatever the digital analogy of a renn faire is today is also probably to blame (turkey legs are still $10, either way, however).



More importantly: I cannot imagine any manufacturer trying to build something similar because of sheer build cost alone in this day & age (aside from LeStrum 6 years ago!) of everything getting smaller, lighter & slimmer, but I a haven't peeped Github in a minute, so maybe I'm wrong?

Suzuki has decided they need to get the hype flowing on an Omnichord return. They're targeting fall '23. There's no word on if it will be stylized after a specific model. The originals were analog with digital control. I'm really skeptical they would duplicate that now, without a significant price hike. For reference, the QChord is already $480 new. Soundwise, I'm fine with a faux analog, minimalistic character, as long as it doesn't have the bright, unpleasant character of so many digital toys in the Casio/Yamaha vein.

i mean that depends. are the kinda voltage dividers they used in organs obsolete or do they still make them? i feel like pulling it off in digital totally could be doable unless they put in minimal effort

I'm pretty sure top octave divider chips are long out of production. It would probably be trivial to emulate it digitally though; could probably even use an FPGA to emulate one in a hardware manner, if analog signal processing was desired.

Someone's got a QC-1 listed for $350 a couple of towns over, I just can't wrap my head around the apparent going rate of these things.
