Dealers in this forum................................
There seems to be at least one dealer-retailer on this site offering stuff from his shop. This is not a maker, I don't think, but a middle person who
is selling what appears to be low end tourista instruments as if they are one of a kind finds. I don't have anything against someone making a living
but this ain't a used car website and it ain't Walmart. Speaking in glowing terms about "special features" and presenting high quality pictures in the
same manner as the real deal just doesn't smell right. Beginners need all the help they can get and they look here on this forum for help in buying a
good instrument without being subjected to greasy sales tactics. That "buyer beware" crap has always rubbed me the wrong way. The people who use this
site have an obligation to be fair and honest to beginners who need a hand up.

Hi,
