You get what you pay for. When the instruments sell for HUNDREDS of
dollars less than legitimate music stores ask, little warning buzzers
should go off in your ears. The people selling them in Costco and wherever
have no clue, and the typical parent buying doesn't either. Boy, do they
feel foolish when they realize they have been taken and all they have to
show for it is an expensive "caveat emptor" lesson.
