Lionstrac I am direct to the factory, ketron, korg, I purchase through a distributor
Overall I will help my customers when they ask, as best as I am possible
Frank,
MS will also deal direct with the end user, they will sell me one direct, perhaps this is the best way of doing business, cut out the dealers, customers can see and hear it on YouTube anyway this is the way the World is going. I think the day of the music shop is doomed, especially if there is no proper support and it all becomes tangled up and three people needing to be consulted about the color of toilet paper.
Thomann in Germany may have the answer they appear to be successful and cheap, how long will it be before they snap up Dom at Lionstracs, It would be tempting if they order 50 units in one go not ones and twos. Oh and BTW they do “B” units, returned or repaired, I don’t know.
