Doepfer

Perhaps the solution is for Doepfer to sell G6 cases at a bargain price,
which would make them more accessible to more musicians.  This would
mean Doepfer's core business (selling modules) would improve
markedly.

I can't justify the price for an empty G6 case with just a buss board
and power supply for AUD1000, but if the G6 case was like, AUD250,
which is a more realistic price for a commodity pressed metal
box with a basic standard Power supply and buss board,
I know I would be buying modules every month.

As it is, I just shudder at the thought of buying an empty box.
I know if I paid $1000 for an empty G6, my partner would shoot me.

I am a big fan of Doepfer modulars.   If Dieter sells me a G6 cheap,
I'll guarantee that I'll fill it full of his modules in a heartbeat.
I betcha every person on this list would agree and do the same.

C'mon Doepfer, give the cases away cheap and your modules will sell themselves
and walk out the door in their hundreds.

hello rachel,

dieter mentioned in earlier posts, that they don't earn
money with the cases, so i guess that a cheaper price is
not possible. it's all about the international exchange
rates, so i guess there is nothing he can do.

best wishes

What about a G9? Would that really add that much to the cost? Or would it be
similar to the difference from a G3 to G6?

best,
phil

Yeah, 
I am ready for a G9 case if it would be priced at 350-400 E
