In addition to Dillon’s (whom I have done a lot of business through now), I want to give a shout out to The Mighty Quinn Brass and Winds. GREAT to work with and weren’t offended when we negotiated a bit.
Also, I actually wanted to hop on this thread to make a general comment/observation regarding US-based vs. European (mainly German) retailers. Recently, I was involved with a Willson 2900 purchase. It was a special quote for Thomann as they don’t stock the medium shank. At the end of the day, the price between Thomann Music and a US retailer was less than $5. (And the US retailer offered free shipping as opposed to $105 for Thomann.)
SO! I don’t know if the tide is turning or not…but, most certainly, much better deals are easier to find stateside then they were even six months ago. (And quite a contrast to a year+ ago!) Of course, this varies greatly from retailer to retailer…and overseas may still be better for some horns, price-wise (it certainly is for Yamaha!)
