I'm very surprised I hear so many people defending overspending for a product worth $150 less than its retail. Have we all forgotten being in college, working just to get by month to month, no savings to spend on exorbinantly priced equipment? Playing for no pay after spending 10 hours practice, just to gain experience. How a common jazz wage is $35 a night. How good musicians are forced to work jobs outside of music to get by, so they can play their talent and passion.
To Paul, the Republican party could use a good candidate, but as a Democrat, I'm glad they have not.
To Mark, I'm sorry you're not happy with your violin playing. I'm sure you're violin playing would have been better if you had access to good equipment. If a student starts on a vito or a yamaha, which one is most likely to succeed?
(Also, and this is possibly the worst time to ask this, are you interested in Bansuri flute fingerings? I really enjoy that fingering thread. I can offer what I have if it's an interest.)
To srattle, yes I am a doubler, but more importantly, I'm a Alto sax player, tenor sax player, soprano sax player, Bb clarinet player, flute player, and piccolo player. I know how much good equipment costs, and I settle for nothing less than professional. I am not lucky. I financially have to compete with people that can only play one instrument. Maybe that's why I am upset by his prices.
I don't know if it's important how well I play. If it is:
