Walter,

I understand what you are saying and I agree wholeheartedly. When I =
have a student who needs a student instrument, we go the local music =
store route. When they move up to a pro horn though, the local music =
store is no longer adequate. How can we avoid buying from the big =
dealers? The smaller stores can't stock enough instruments to make a =
reasonable choice from. That student of mine who bought the used =
Buffet, got it from one of these large stores. The small stores <can't> =
provide the service we need and the large store <won't> provide the =
service we need. Where does one turn? And the small stores don't want =
to carry the quality accessories that a more advanced student musician =
needs.
