I'm looking into the Market of Buying a Yamaha WX5 wind controller synth (Basically, it's an electronic saxophone) and the bloody EEC (European Economic Community) have got on their high horses and killed my fun.

It was discontinued in the EEC because new EEC rules require batteries to be separated from each other so the WX5 battery compartment (in which the batteries are stacked on top of each other) does not comply.

*Hmph*

I'm all sad now, I really wanted one. Postage would be alot wouldn't it?

WTF!?! what the hell kind of rule is that???
Damn man, that sucks.
Postage might not be as much as you would expect, if you have to get it out of Europe, it probably wont be cheap, but if you have no other choice....

Why do they have that rule?

To be bastards mainly, I think. Stupidest rule I've heard in a while. Considering 1,000's of Torch, remote control and Toy designers had to rethink there plans...

It's electrical and quite small, so it wont be as heavy as a proper sax I dont think. Making postage less...

Anyone ever seen one of these things about?

Yeah, the government has a history of interfering with peole's happiness, here in America too, which is funny because the preamble clearly states we have to right to "Life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness."
