I need to give a shout-out in these troubled economic times to 2 of our members who STILL thrive in a cut-throat business and provide a brick & morter storefront for keyboard addicts to shop and buy while touching the product. Internet sales are one thing, but to operate a store and stay in business takes something special, so let's raise our glasses to 2 of my FAVORITE merchants:
George Kaye & Frankie V !
I've dealt with them both and hold them in my heart as friends and clients. We should all try to spread the wealth among our own Zoners...and I KNOW there are others, but I only know these 2 personally. When DanO was at GC, we had a great run with him as well, and I'm sure there are others.

So, read the blogs, get the quotes, but buy from a REAL dealer. You'll keep the economy going, and keep a family fed.

Great job to all of you who serve others in any way ! Cheers!

Dave's right. I have done business with both Frank and George. They have earned my business.

With wooden instruments, buying from any locatin where you can't carefully inspect the piece for finish, wood quality, hardware and set-up is a problem, but for anything else these guys handle, they are the ones to shop with.

In fact, I'll drive across town to do business with an independently owned establishment rather than buy at a chain.

Best Buy does not have a chance at any business from me.

Thanks, guys,

Russ

hear hear..

West Coast (George Kaye) and East Coast (Frankie V). Two great guys in an otherwise iffy retail market.

Best,
Mike

Frank is an excellent dealer on all counts not only music gear check out his website.

In my past dealing with Keyboards & Speakers, GPS units, etc, it ALWAYS went perfect...


Thank you Sir!

I've dealt with both of them and can only agree. They are great. Wish they were closer.

Yeah, gotta agree I only had the one experience with Frank, but one was enough to convince me as well.

Ditto !!

You can`t go wrong with dealing with Frank.

VERY good prices , and excellent support.

I just bought a T-3 from Frank , and I know I will have many questions , and I`m sure Frank will help me out if need be.

There aren`t many sure things , but a purchase from Frank is like holding a Full House !! and you can take that to the bank !! LOL

Way to go Frank !!

Later ,

Gary
