anyone have a link for the best buy adding instruments link?
Also in my area we have an 8 percent sales tax so it is usually cheaper to buy from Musicians friend with free shipping and no sales tax. Even though it is the same price same company local out the door sales have to collect the tax.

As for the sales tax, it's increasing just about everywhere, and some states are nailing internet sales with their local sales tax as well. They did the same thing with the mail order business when they created a reciprocal agreement between states for collecting taxes on items sold out of state. Maryland just jumped from 5 to 6 percent, which is a 20% percent increase.
Thanks again,
Gary
