I had heard roomers that they weren't pulling in much new inventory in light of the bankruptsy, although I don't know if that was being forced on them or if it was by choice. I hadn't heard about them closing, but who knows.

Steinway did place a bid to purchase them, but later terminated the proposal. I also believe Guitar Center placed a bid.

I will stick with my guys in Madison, WI. They really proved their worth with the transactions I have completed this last week.

Madison is a great city for music! I managed a restaurant in a suburb there for a while, and not only did I discover a lot of local performances, I also found my favorite instrument tech/seller.
