My last three arrangers were bought locally. The price, I think, was better than I could have gotten on 90% of the internet sites. It really pays to get to know the owner and recommend him whenever you can. I support Southland Music in Taylor, MI owned by a great guy named Bill Loos.
But thanks to the the big retailers, because without them we'd be paying a lot more than we do now.
AND, it's a shame Yamaha has such a boondooggle on its hands with the S900. In my eyes the S900 was not a big step up anyway and to send so many out with malfunctions is not good for business, especially with Korg's new entries and the Rolands making a decent showing here too.
