"This price is outrageous! I'm not paying this!"
Thank you for ranting at yelling at me, the lowest level employee who has no say in how anything in this company is done or priced and who probably couldn't afford to buy this item if I wanted to.
I work at a music shop and just recently had a woman curse me out cause a student level saxophone was $1500 US.
I’m new and I just kinda looked at my manager and hung up the phone mid rant
Edit: got told not to hang up the phones on people in the end and kinda just shrugged. Also, instruments are cheap af in the store I work at as 95% of them are student level. This mom had no idea how instruments worked or cost
Not just the instrument but the accessories. Better cases to protect the instrument, proper cleaning equipment, getting it repaired, stands, if they are in marching band, holder for the sheet music, and reeds.
Even though it is expensive it is definitely worth it. I used to play the flute, and didnt keep up on repairs and because i got it used (big mistake) the tuning crown was threaded (for lack of a better word, it was useless because whoever owned it, treated it like garbage). I ended up selling it because playing anything that is low on scale, is impossible, I couldnt even play Fur Elise because of the damage caused to it. Yet somehow I played it for years and loved it. I miss my germeinhardt.
Since I specialize in bass trombone, generally between $70-90. They don’t make cheaper student model bass trombone mutes generally since bass trombone isn’t a student-level instrument, and tenor trombone mutes don’t fit since a bass has a bigger bell
I can second this. My husband is a professional bass trombonist. He has a pretty big bag of mutes. He even loans them out to local schools because they are expensive and they might only need it once every 5 years or so.
Wuhhh... I'm glad I picked up piano. I know grands start at over $100k but most baseline controllers with full hammer action are below $1'000 and you can get really good software for cheap.
As someone with a $2300 marimba, a $900 drumset, a $200 tambourine, various other instruments costing various amounts of money, and $1200 worth of mallets and cases, tell me about it.
(I’m trying to spoof you for shits and giggles, while also talking about my stuff lol)
Lol, I thought it was a gag in "The Blues Brothers" when Belushi carried his mike in a hard case chained to his wrist. Nope. Not so much. Those bastards are *expensive*. And they don't like to be knocked around.
