It's the same story in my state. One of our local stores carries keyboards, digital, and acoustic pianos. Get this... Not ONE of the workers can play if their lives depended on it, and NONE of them know how to demo a synth or arranger. I can't see how this place stays open. This store also sells guitars (Which is fine with me since I play guitar too), but all the workers are "guitar" players. Plus their prices are way too high.

I've noticed this is a problem in almost every music store I've visited. I'd love to be near George Kaye or DanO and have the luxury of talking to store owners who actually know what they're doing.

There was a new music store that opened up just 1/2 mile down the road from me. The owner wants to sell keyboards, but isn't familiar with them or how to demo them. I gave him some suggestions on what would sell in this area. I also brought in my Casio WK-3500 to demo for him. He's asked that I do work on the side for him demoing models that he gets in for customers.
