Yes, korg discontinued them a couple of years ago - I called to see if they
had any old stock but cust. support said that they sold the last bunch to
the Grateful Dead.

The price was pretty high (~$2000 new) and I'm sure that that was a factor
in their lack of acceptance. Maybe the unit was a bit too far out for most
drummers..

PS : I am also one of the unfortunate souls unable to find a Wavedrum, so 
if
anyone out there sees one for sale let me know. I'm ready to buy.
