Not too bad, considering the space it sits in. Another "physical modeling synthesizer" which I've been looking at for the last few weeks (https://www.ericasynths.lv/steampipe-3153/ https://www.ericasynths.lv/steampipe-3153/) goes for €990, which is more or less the same as the phase8, when you consider the currency difference. Edit: Actually, seems phase8 will be slightly cheaper, my local (Spain) shops seems to sell it for around €950.

  I really love the Steampipe and its approach to synthesis, its a lot of fun: https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/1j7hgoo/making_a_bunch_of_different_sounds_on_the_eric/ https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/1j7hgoo/makin... Erica synths makes really solid hardware too.

  Phase8 isn't physical modeling, though. It's actually electroacoustic, like a Rhodes.

Coming next year: A Behringer knockoff that's just as good for $250.

What ammuses me is that the little Korg Volcas synced up in the demo can be found really cheaply if you look around. They were low cost units to begin with and are now old enough to be considered classic equipment so there are loads on the market. The Volca Drum being used is excellent at making all kinds or resonant, spriny noises with its wave guide effects if that's what you're looking for. It's a very distinct, unique sounding little box. Volcas in general are an affordable way to get started with electronic music making. Cheap enough and easy enough to sell if you change your mind. (I still really want a Phase 8 though :P )
