There’s an article in CDM about the potential effects of the trade war that’s brewing on synth prices and musical electronics.
This is a place to comment on price changes you’ve observed, or if you are informed about the pressures you might be experiencing as a manufacturer of musical electronic hardware. Apparently these price changes may occur in unexpected areas and in unexpected ways.
I don’t want this thread to become adversarial and polemic – if you’d like i’ll open another thread, where we all can vent on the political sides of this.
ADDED: As has been pointed out wisely below, the USA doesn’t have a lock on protectionism, so trade restriction world-wide (this also means Brexit) can be considered on-topic.
And also i will add that beyond price rises are market effects, particularly those that hurt smaller companies and start-ups and that also can be part of the discussion.
EDITED: Changed title to reflect discussion.
