"On another note, my local music store is going to quit handling arrangers of any kind. They say they spend too much time explaining, demonstrating, etc., and then very often lose the sale to an internet store who doesn't have to do any of that, doesn't have to pay a commission, and doesn't have to charge sales tax.
They can't compete on price with the Best Buys and Sam's Clubs on the low end. They feel it takes less time and effort to sell a $20,000 Yamaha Grand, or Clavinova than a PSR 550.

I could not agree more. I sell a 26,000 boston Piano and I never hear from the people again. I sell a KN7000 at a %20 gp and I have to deal with endless calls and questions and "how do I......" "I dont want to read the Manual so I just called you...."
I do more follow up on KN7000's than any other piano/digial piano. It's kind of frustrating. And then there are the people who buy them online and come into my store expecting me to teach them how to use it....
