This has been of great discussion in my class, along with Selmer's decision
that if you want to order any instrument (like a pro modle) you have to
order a min of 12 of that same type. (this is second hand info on my part
and is shortend to bring the point out). Anywayz, the discussion is which
these companies making it more and more difficult for the small music store
to purchase insturments at a competetive rate, and to servive they will
eventually have to purchase their instruments from a distribution center.
WWBW gets extra special deals probably which makes thier cost even lower and
that of course is where we will all probably be getting our instruments from
if this keeps up. My personal oppinion thinks that looks mighty grim. Can
we shed more light on this subject? I'd like to take your thoughts back to
class for more discussion.
