From the Welcome page:

Update: March 26th 2011. The shop section of Q-tuner.com will remain closed for a while. If everything proceeds according to plan, we'll reopen next year. In all probability, the current range of products will be replaced by the second generation Q-tuner. The second generation Q-tuner represents a true technical break-through for being the first all passive "smart" pickup. A patent application including a robust claim tree will be filed within a measurable time.

Tubby.twins and 12bass...thanks for chiming in! Your audio clips, photos, and Q-tuner experiences have been much appreciated!

Personally, I'd be thrilled if Erno would produce the original Qs again, and I can only imagine how he will tweak the first generation. An all passive "smart" pickup sounds most interesting.

The price of Neodymium magnets has gone up a little. Not too bad though. They are certainly cheaper if you get them directly from China, where they mine the stuff, but I still get them from the US.

His website still says:

"Optimized grade of neodymium"

So I don't think he's changing magnets.
