A band instrument store here in Tucson has much the same attitude....they carry the general student lines of instruments. The owner was angry at me for not buying a Holton or a Conn from him when I bought my E. Schmid horn. Then when I took up tuba, he wanted me to buy a Bach from him and was mad when I got my MW 182. When I inquired about getting a Yamaha 621 F for me to try, I was told that they couldn't do it. And they wonder why the high level players don't buy things there!! I got a trial from Dillon's instead.
