Well, I'm in Michigan, so you're probably talking about the same store...
the big one that services all the schools... I guess the price was cheaper
than the E11. As for resale value, by buying from them they can build up
equity in the horn, so that when it comes time for her to get a real pro
horn later on, anything's she's paid into this one will be credited towards
the new purchase.
