I have dealt with authorized dealers in retail, and I think anybody on the New England, (or the east coast for that matter!) should call up Marblehead School of Music in Massachusetts. (781) 639-7070.
Steve Spungin owns the place, and he is the absolute BEST and most caring retailer I’ve ever talked to. He gave me a great deal, and of course, he double boxed 
. I’m definitely getting some more gear when the Grammy promotion kicks in!
GHAAA! More anti-spam! What is this, the end of the world as we know it?! 
Anyways, just kidding.(Or am I?) 
Thanks for the tip! 
Gotta love a company called Marblehead School of Music! 
Just one thing…do you pass their courses when you’ve lost all your marbles? If so, I may already qualify for a certificate. 
Thanks for that ! I have had great service at Alto music in upper NY. But Marblehead is closer.

Ouch, this was supposed to be a reply to a thread, not it’s own. My mistake, I didn’t mean to push anything on anyone.
Soddy!
