Personal anecdote: I ordered a synth from Sweetwater on 4/1. It's shipping now. (Yamaha Reface DX)


Yamaha isn't facing nearly the same issues as the boutique makes, since they have the scale to be able to do volume buys and negotiate with vendors directly. I doubt the folks at places like Teenage Engineering are buying in quantities large enough to get any consideration from the vendors, they are likely just purchasing from digikey & mouser. So 4/1 is already a pretty poor lead time, but it's even worse for the specialty suppliers.
