Hmm year long wait list eh? Might as well join it; I might have the money by then. I can add it to my collection of waitlists

Wow, that
does look like a good time!
I just started selling off some goodies from an old hobby to get some more fun money to throw into gear cause although my wife thinks covid is over (but she believes in science so she knows it probably will come back despite what her burned out hypothalamus is telling her), I'm home bound for at least the balance of the calendar year w work...and I love knobs and noises! I kinda really want a moffenzeef star gazer or maybe get crazy and take the leap into a hydrasynth...but this thing...this makes me question everything.

Not really in the same pricetag, and not really the same thing, but if y'all want something like that with routing options i think the best option is the Knas Moisturizer.
I've been eyeing it literally for years but could never justify buying it.

I remember seeing this 5 years ago or so and been wanting it ever since.

Damn! I thought it said 12 months when I looked, that is definitely crazy. I signed up for the waiting list and will most likely not care about it in 4 years.

I believe they've been updating the website as the list gets longer. It was definitely only 1 year long when I signed up. They might want to start thinking about closing that waitlist; 4 years is nuts

I wonder what the numbers are like. The site said he would have two available in a month and then "full production" so if that 4 year timeline is based on building a few a month then he'll probably only end up selling a small portion of that wait list because people will lose interest. When you have a 4 year wait on a product its time to change your business model and dramatically ramp up production to take advantage of that interest or raise prices until demand more closely meets supply. Considering that similar noise devices from companies like Folktek are sometimes in the thousands of dollars I was pretty surprised that this is a $250 instrument. I think that price is fair but noise instruments often seem to be disproportionately expensive relative to their usefulness and versatility.

I definitely agree with this. I think I would be looking into ramping up production if I was them. I feel like if they up'd the price, there'd be a fair number of people that would lose interest - I am definitely mostly interested because of the price - and like you mentioned, there's not too many similar devices in this price point.
