Hi there folks,just passing this along.I live in a small town in upper ca.(that's as close as i'm gonna get).One of the music shops in town will meet the price that one would find on line.Another music store in the adjoining town has a very similar approach.This of course is usually limited to the brands that they normally handle(which are major brands)And they both give excellant face to face,personal service.I have bought both ways (local on on line).They are all aware of the competition out there.You might ask if the price on the tag is etched in stone.
