Subj: RE: [kl] Buying an alto sax in NYC

No, the store I'm thinking of isn't Manny's (altho they are definitely
another fine, huge music store that is worth going to see if only just as a
tourist attraction!). Manny's is on street level, up the block from Sam
Ash.

I remember a much smaller store across the street from Sam Ash that you had
to walk up to the second floor to get to--with an amazing array of
saxophones--but I can't remember the name.

My advice would be to cruise the area. There are at least 10 music stores
in that general area--the sonic equivalent of the diamond or garment
districts.

I think the store across from Sam Ash might be Manny's. That's where
I bought my Mark VI soprano (40% discount for cash) for $400. Of
course, that was during the Pleistocene--but that's still the horn
I play. Can't promise they're still giving that 40%, though.
