I had a quite big order with alu bottom, two tops(purple and grey), two pcb's, Alu and bras plate and stabs leds etc. I was around order numb 60-70 or so. Will my order be shipped before or after 10th of may? Looking forward to getting my board (just copy pasting what i said earlier but got ignored.)

I thought i answered you already, i didn't apparently.
Anyway, unless you contact Vincent directly via mail with your order number ( listed items won't work), you can't get an answer here.

On a side note, i suggest to not start to spam his mail since he posted the timeline, and second batch still has to ship. Whatever is the the order, it will be shipped when possible aka when all the items of your order are ready (so yeah a big order might me shipped after a simple silver case+silver plate). Basically, contacting Vincent won't make the order shipping faster. And yeah after May 10 cuz that's the entire batch 2 and batch 3. Probably your is not batch 1 that should have shipped already.

I would say just contact Vincent in case you have to change your address, otherwise you can just wait for the mail of the confirmation of your address pre-shipping and later the shipping notification.

I'm a bit confused by the batch system and timelines. Not overly worried but like others starting to get excited. I was order number 223, alu bottom and non-silver plate. Does the type of order supersede the order number? or since i don't have acrylic base and not in europe put me in the earlier group?

I haven't received anything, just trying to get an idea as i'll be traveling the latter half of this month.

It seems like if you don't get any confirmation by end of week/next week it will be in batch 3. But I could be completely wrong.
I was order number 006...

And Vincent asked for my address and phone number on April 16th, but I've heard nothing after that...

Hm...

I'm in the same boat as you are, order #14. I went with gray alu base/top with brass plate and weight, so I was assuming that it would be shipped on the 5th. Back in April I sent him my shipping info as he requested but I haven't had any confirmation about shipping etc.

I think most people are just curious because according to vincents' updates the shipping for the first batch should have started a week ago but no one has received a shipping notification yet.

Yeah, I think people are just worried because the originally planned ship date was the 30th of March... then became last week - this week. I imagine if someone received a shipping notification or something similar they would post something about it... but no one has so I guess Vincent hasn't started shipping yet :\

From what I understand of KaosJ's post your order should have been shipped by now, but Vincent hasn't sent out the tracking info yet (I'm in the same boat too, guess we just gotta wait for it)

KaosJ · « **Reply #363 on:** Fri, 11 May 2018, 00:32:21 »

Guys calm, a big part of the first batch of 100 was mostly alu top+alu bottom+alu plate and ALL SILVER! (Yes plate silver too).

Also some colored combinations, but not many. E.g. just 5 purple in the first batch.
I didn't got my keyboard as well, neither a tracking.

Case: 382 x 138 x33 (max height without feets) all in millimeters.

This is based on the file i have, which might have changed slightly so there might be a small variance in dimension (in order of millimeters)

Here's a bunch of pictures, enjoy!

Problems: Small issue with the brass plate around the vertical line/pipe/backslash. Underside of the plate has a few issues, but I'm not concerned about either really. The weight has some weird patterning on it. I tried cleaning with just water and alcohol, nothing so far. I will be trying something more acidic on it probably.

So far I love it, great board. The weight is extreme! My only scale I had on hand was overloaded when I tried to weigh it. I took some good pictures of the edges for y'all.

Nothing wrong. We are still in the period within the update.
They are doing a huge amount of work these days and there were many soldered boards as well, so if most of the people keep posting their order number here, imagine how many people are spamming at their mails just to ask when their order will be shipped, when the update was made to avoid these situations.
Also consider they are not only doing and shipping the melody so my advice is "just wait"

Haha, I still like the set, but I had picked all the pieces with GMK Electric in mind, so Canvas won't really fit my board to well

So my brass weight has some sort of tarnish on it which looks like it was may be caused by the bubble wrap, it is coated in some sort material it seems and maybe not directly polished. I'd like to ask what that material may be so that I can correctly either fix the issue or strip it and directly polish the brass. I'm going to try using Coke but I'm not sure it's going to have any effect with this material.

that looks like it is underneath the pvd layer. You would have to strip off the protective pvd layer and then polish the brass underneath. Then subject it again to pvd treatment in order to get the same look. Not an easy process, I suggest get a replacement or live with it.
