are copies being frown upon?

I can't see the meaning of buying a copy, why not buy the real deal? It's ******** imo.

You could probably do very well if you haggle... Start at 50% and see what happens. If they really look that good and feel that good it's totally worth it.

since you're in Korea try a Willows or a Konata, you may even find an Atelier Z within your price point, and these are first class instruments, not anyone's copy.
