[CAUT] Schaff price list?

[John Ross]

I did get the quote today, from a request earlier in the week.
Apparently US mail does not do surface or air any more, as they told me my 
only choices for shipping were Express Mail International or, Priority Mail 
International.
Should be faster service.

You have my vote for an electronic price list, which could be changed 
immediately.

Pianophile in Canada, has their whole catalogue on line with prices. They 
have two price lists, retail, and if you are in the business, wholesale. The 
retail customer, can not see the wholesale price.
