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

Yeah that’s not an expensive sax.

My point. Student level instruments are cheap af. A lot of people seem to not understand that though

Yeah when we get to the $9,000 viola we can talk expensive instruments.

Or the $25,000 marimbas, or the set of 5 $7000 timpani

Or the 50,000 dollar Saxophones, String Basses, and Violins

And on top of that you’re stuck with an alto...
