Subj: [kl] THIS CLARINET IS A BIG SCAM!!
Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2002 13:56:07 -0500

There is a Clarinet for Sale at the BJ's Wholesale Club Stores put out by
the AMC (Ameican Music Conference) which has their URL on the box. The
Clarinet on the box states among other things that it has Silver Plated
Keys.

It's a Clarinet that sells for $180 and DOES NOT have Silver Plated Keys -
they are Nickel and the horn is a piece of crap.

Isn't that illegal to state "Silver Plated" when it sure isn't. Sure they
are Silver Colored Nickel, but there is no silver plating at all.

The website linked on the box has http://www.amc-music.org which is the
legit site for a Large Organization so I'm wondering how they possibly could
allow that to be.

Comments? What should we do as a Community about that as there will be folks
who buy it thinking that they are getting a decent instrument, etc.
