Looks like a quality instrument but at that price it will probably be a hard sell vs the MatrixBrute.

Two grand (assuming that's two thousand U.S. dollars and not two thousand British pounds) is reasonable enough. Almost the only thing that stopped me from buying a Mono Lancet instead of a Minitaur was availability. It would be awesome if Vermona could crank up their distribution network a bit.

The difference between the two instruments may be build quality.  Personally, I far prefer the Vermona.  It seems more immediate.

I'd like the Vermona but the Arturial trumps it in by spades in specs, also already having a whatever brute the oscillators and filter are quite interesting, a bit different from the norm.

Unfortunately Arturia make thinks that last a year if you are lucky and if something goes wrong you are buggered, I know someone that waited 8 months for a fix for their origin, 8 months!

"US price, just under two grand...I think."

1700 quid then, quite a bit.

Yes, I saw that yesterday.  Another short production (222) mono synth.  But I do like it.

Nah, I'm not in the market for anything right now, but I've read a few comments by those who just got one. The impressions are throughout positive. As Vermona is only producing 222 of them, it's basically now or never.

Yeah, that's not a bad price.  I like the size and keyboard length.  But I wonder what quality service Vermona would offer for an instrument with such a short production run.  Parts in five or ten years?  Unless it's all standard electronics.  But things are always changing and moving on.  That's why I prefer to stay with mainstream companies and instruments, in order to avoid future head aches.  Of course, I now own exclusively vintage instruments; so much for caution!

Haha! The simplest way to find out about their support policy is to write them an e-mail I guess: http://www.vermona.com/en/contact/

Each Vermona 14 comes with a sustain pedal, a printed manual, a certificate, a dust cover, and a microfiber cloth btw.

Bigger question is: what will they do with the firmware and schematics (useful for repair) if the company ceases trading (which is a realistic possibility, in Vermona's case)?

They usually have schematics on their document site. So I'm sure they'd be happy to share this one too. Either way, the best way to find out is to write them an e-mail.
