will violin trade ins be considered for the piano? :twisted: :D

you tonomen certainly are busy and i like where you are going. no doubt this piano pre-amp will be something special sonically and will continue to increase the brand equity of TONO. :)

more power!

Pre-production prototype is now undergoing extensive testing at VD's.

The final production model may have custom-made imported chassis.

First 10 units will be sold at a special promo price - 50% off.

Minimalist design...only one triode per side.

Superb transparency and layering.

US SRP = $1,900

special local promo price (10 units only) = $880

TonoMen have incorporated the best learnings so far from the original Tono 12au7 preamp and the best-selling Tono violin to come-up with an international version statement pre-amp.

- custom-made chassis (sealed type - tubes will be inside chassis).
- DACT or Goldpoint attenuators
- 2 extra sets of tubes for free to last total of 15 years of use (average 3 hrs/day, everyday).
- 5 inputs
- 2 outputs

experience the piano's speed, transparency, soundstaging, musicality

Please clarify the condition that Tono Piano is "for select local customers" only. Could this be offered also on a "first- come, first- serve" basis (or "first-to-order, first-to-be-served" basis) as what has been done, i believed, in Tono Violin?

Tnx.

Tnx.


the Tono piano is intended to mate well in "hi-end" systems. the Tono team will ensure that the piano is paired with the best gear in the market and assist would-be buyers in getting the most out of the pre-amp.

the piano does not allow for tube rolling...nor parts upgrade. it is a statement pre-amp which folks will either like or not like.

it is an alternative to imported named pre-amps in the $2-5k range.

we make no claims for now as to whether it will be "better" than this or that pre-amp. it is our own contribution to the Hi-end market at a fraction of what one would pay for a similar one...

plan is to have two designs....one local, one foreign.

for local, main consideration is what's available locally for production...and also provide some "business" to pinoys

for the export model, plans are underway to have the design done by university students outside the country and chassis manufactured abroad too..

- custom-made chassis (sealed type - tubes will be inside chassis).

Maybe you should make one with tubes exposed. Others might find it sexier than the sealed type.
