Re: Are Music Stores in Trouble? Retail Sales Flat for Musical Instruments
The local B&M stores here have started selling low to mid range gear because they can't compete with Amazon and others when it comes to high end items. They took out the Fender Strats and Teles, and replaced them with cheaper Austin brands. The highest end drum kit is a mid grade Mapex. They sell more "beginner" Mapex Rebels than anything. Quite simply, they don't have the market here to sell high end items, not even in the PA side of the house.
Six Piece Mapex Saturn V, Five Piece DW Performance Series, NOS Slingerland Snares, Centent Ardor and Emperor Cymbals
