Ever since the Montage M was announced, it seems that all my usual online stores for Yamaha gear has had zero stock of any of the Montage keyboards. Even Yamaha Of London has never had any - they just have a pre-order option, as do other places like Bonners and Andertons.

There was a few M8 keyboards available when this synth was first released but that was all. It makes me wonder what the point of this synth is if it is not available. There is no way I’m going to part with my money on a promise of getting something in the future. It also makes me wonder if Yamaha are doing this deliberately to keep the price higher.
