We have seen many of them previously. They are at the NAMM Show every year for all of the World to see. Why would we pay money to buy one? The OP came up with this idea on his own and asked us if we would be interested in seeing the instrument after he bought it. Why not?

Sadly, there is absolutely nothing that we can do to stop it. Intellectual Property is not well protected in China and we have no ability to wage a legal battle on the other side of the world. Despite it being flattering that people feel positively enough about our designs that they get copied, I often wonder how the people that post here would feel if someone ripped off their life's work. It is very easy to have a theoretical discussion about this stuff, but when it is your personal ideas that get ripped off, I don't know, it just doesn't feel right at all...

With all due respect, this just doesn't seem right. If I were in your shoes and having "seen many of them previously", I would have told the OP that you didn't need to see another one and to save his money. You knew upfront what you were gonna see but you let him waste his $$$$ anyway. I don't get it.

What, precisely, did you want him to do? The person wanted to buy it and see what it was like. They've seen these primarily on the internet before, not necessarily in person. I'd bet he told the buyer that it was a POS.

You brought up this year old thread to tell him he should've more actively controlled someone else's purchases?

Actually, this thread was linked on another related thread that's on the home page. I didn't notice the date. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
