Not sure if they're in stock, but not a bad price if you're down under and want one of these:

I went down this road about a year ago. I think the guy who owns the shop got sick and never fixed his website. It has been broken since at least last Christmas. I have also tried email and got no response.

I am not even sure if that is still a company.

I think Rowdy in that general area and may know something

Their site broke when I tried to contact them with a query about a specific keyboard.

So I emailed them directly, about the site and the keyboard.

He replied a day later and said they were working on a new site, which should be available November(-ish).  And he didn't know if they had the keyboards in stock as they keep most of them somewhere else (the actual shop is just a small place sandwiched between two other small shops).

I haven't heard back from him since, and even emailed another couple of times with no response.
