Hi Peter
I guess it all depends on one’s definition of cheap and professional! Perhaps what we are really paying for is the label?
At todays exchange rate R88000 is about #4960 UK Pounds. I was just thinking about the engineering work involved to manufacture the frame, high performance engine and even the exhaust tubes which are also designed to specification. Being much heavier and larger, the import cost should also be very much higher than the sax.
