For customers resident in a European Union country
The River is guaranteed for 2 years, parts and labor. It is important not to lose sight of the artisanal character of the instrument and of the company Baloran SAS: A major breakdown will be fully covered, transport costs included. Some eventual minor malfunctions can be solved by a partial disassembly / reassembly done by the customer in order to avoid a complete return of the machine: change of a voice card, change of The Triko. Documentation and an accessory kit are supplied with the replacement card.
If these conditions do not seem acceptable to you, which I readily understand, please do not order The River.

Review of the Baloran The River and Award (excellent sound examples)
THE RIVER – this French masterpiece – is an elemental SOUND force. And an instrument with great technical finesse. For about 5,500 Euros you get a fabulously good and powerful sounding 8-voice analog synthesizer. A representative of that rare species of real analog mega-synths that can sweep the listener away. Individual voice adjustment (volume, pan, transposition) has massive acoustic sound potential of which only a few synthesizers in history have been capable.Baloran THE RIVER – an elemental SOUND force (very nice demos)
