I have not seen the Music and Arts store, but from what you say, I am
not missing anything. Conditions for service-oriented music stores in
this large, very music-oriented city are simply atrocious, and I do not
understand why things have reached this low ebb. I now find that I am
reduced to buying reeds--and even cork grease--online from The Discount
Reed Co. because they have an excellent selection and give great
service--unlike many of the stores in the area. As for
instruments--there is simply no selection around here--if you don't like
the one R-13 that Sam Ash (sometimes) has in its Cherry Hill store,
you're out of luck!
