Hello

Would be interested in a list of current synths not made in china.

I'll get started:
Korg prologue 8/16 (Japan)
Access Virus TI2 (Germany)
Waldorf (Germany)

I was inclined to ask why, but, I'm not sure I even want to know...

Maybe non-Chinese robots can solder chips onto a board better than Chinese robots? But I bet the non-Chinese robots are made in China...

If you don't want to support China you would have to stop Buying Medicine, Electronics, Cars or MC and Baby Powder Milk and some other stuff.
You can Thank your Government and the Companies for Hiding Cheap Labour and Slavery in the name of Profit.

I asked Waldorf out of curiosity where your products are manufactured:

"We do the development, parts logistics, sales, distribution, support, etc. here in Remagen.

The "assembly" of the devices is done by other companies for us. That would exceed our capacities.

Quantum/Iridium/Blofeld/coating grease...are manufactured in Germany.

Blofeld KB/STVC/Iridium Keyboard...are assembled in Italy by Fatar.

So Germany and Italy."

It is not possible without supporting China, but you can look for alternatives and especially support regional companies if possible.

But seriously baby milk from China

My baby has received Demeter quality from Germany and / or Switzerland.
