Doru; why are you lookinjg at American sites? thomann.de sell it for 145 EUR (including VAT at the UK rate of 17.5%) which is about $175. Postage will surely be much cheaper.

Yes, and I can assure you that Thomann have a good rep and are extremly fast (usually 2/3 days to get an order from germany to france). Postage is about 15 EUR for such an item.

1. I don't know if they work with Romania and can send here the controller (shipping)

2. I don't know if i can buy there with my credit card (MasterCard) because my currency are USA dollars , not euros !

Can you help me with some answers , please ?

About american company :
"That is a well known store in the US and has a good reputation as far as I know. They are closed until tomorrow at 9AM according to a pop-up message at the site. I added the item to my cart, and selected Romania as the destination, then calculated shipping and it was $93 for shipping , making the total $263

So I would have no fear of ordering from them, but I do not know if that shipping is too high, it seems pretty high but Romania is far away! "

How much cost the shippment from Thomann to Romania ?

That page is on their english-language version of the site, so that should help.

Credit card transactions are automatically converted into your own currency. I buy in EUR and dollars all the time, despite having a UK card. There's no issue.

As for shipping to Romania, I cant see why not. You could email international@thomann.de and check.

holy cow!

this is damn cheap

is it any good?
compared to a M-Audio 49-key keyboard?!?

ok, i see...
they dropped the prices for many products now..
ozone is only 199, oxygen 97, radium49 149 etc..

I cant see why it would cost more to ship to Romania than the UK. Here's what they say about UK shipping:

Note: All prices in our U.K. International Cyberstore have been calculated with 17.5% VAT for U.K. customers. Shipping costs are 15 EUR (10 GBP), no matter what and how much you order. If you plan to pick up equipment from our store or if you live in a different country, please visit your country's Tourist Info or ask for prices. Thank you.

Don't know if this helps, but:

How high are the shipping costs for my order?

In many cases, we offer flat rates to our customers:

Austria €15
Denmark €8
England £15
Finland €23
France €13
Germany €5
Ireland €23
Italy €23
Netherlands €8
Sweden €23


This flat rate counts for the whole order, no matter how many products you have.


There are also very low prices per parcel (for shipments with post) available for other countries:

Belgium €8
Greece €23
Lichtenstein €12
Portugal €23
Spain €23
Switzerland €12


In addition to the shipping costs, there is usually a fee for COD (cash on delivery) payment and an extra fee for express shipping (optional for many countries).

Bigger or heavier equipment has to be sent with special carriers.
For countries outside EU, please ask your contact person or send an email to info@thomann.de to get the exact shipping costs before you place your order.

We always charge you exactly (or less) the amount that we have to pay to the carrier, that´s why many of our customers trust us and don´t ask for the shipping costs after having ordered a couple of times.

Should you ever have the impression that you had to pay too much for your shipment, please get back to us. We´ll double check the costs for you!

Please notice that the above special shipping prices are for shipments from us to you. Shipments from other countries to us can be much more expensive.

For further questions concerning this topic please send an email to info@thomann.de.

If you have any further questions, please send and E-Mail to info@thomann.de

1/ Their site is actually (partly) translated in 12 european langages but not Romania (yet?) but I know that they're also shipping worldwide so it should be ok for you.
You can ask them directly: international@thomann.de
But here's their FAQ which should answer most of your questions: http://www.thomann.de/thoiw2_faq.html

2/ I think it's ok, I have a Mastercard and I can use it worldwide. Your bank will probably charge you something for the transaction in a different currency though.

Edit: some were faster than me..
