There are a lot — a LOT — of musical instrument vendors out there in web-land. Some are huge businesses, some aren’t. Some are “web-only”, some are the online presence of a physical store (or stores, or chain of stores). What’s one to do when looking for a particular something? Throw the search terms into Google and opt for the lowest price? Well, I guess that works, but you aren’t apt to develop a relationship with anyone that way. If low prices (and usually the lowest possible) and great personal service are important to you, my suggestion is Audiosyncrazy. It’s a very small company with an extensive inventory (no — they don’t have everything, but it sure feels like it), and very, very knowledgeable (and polite, and attentive, and responsible) customer service. Are you concerned your purchase will arrive damaged from shipping? Audiosyncrazy double boxes almost everything they ship.
