? Music Instruments Coop

[BaileyBea]

Has there ever been a Music Instruments Coop? If so, then with whom.

Just wondering. I was thinking of calling MusiciansFriend to ask if they would do a group discount.

I can't remember ever seeing during my time on the boards....we might possibly be interested depending on what they offer and the prices. Great idea :)

I've gotten quite a bit of stuff from here

http://www.westmusic.com/

awesome selection for kids and really good prices.

I'd be interested in a co-op at www.westmusic.com if it happens really soon. I was planning to get Conner a bunch of musical instruments for Christmas, but wanted to order every thing this week.

I am waiting to hear from Musicians Friend about a Discount for BBB.

I sent them two emails and I talked to two people today. I am hoping they get back to me tomorrow. They did say there will be something they can do for us. So keep your fingers crossed. I'll post as soon as I hear more.

If they can't do it I will contact WestMusic tomorrow.

Thanks so much for looking into this for us. I have a cartful of stuff that I'm ready to buy, but am hoping for a discount!
Thanks!

This would be terrific because my twins (11 yrs) want an electric guitar. Any discount would be really helpful!

Me too! I love Remo drums but they are $$, so a discount would be awesome.

Well I called Musician's Friend and I sent them two emails and they said they could offer some type of discount and then.... I haven't heard from them again. I've called again today and emailed. I also called WestMusic and I hope to hear from her tomorrow morning sometime.

I'm sorry this is taking so long. I am working on it every chance I get. I am bummed they haven't called me back. Does anyone know someone who works there?

Also, if Corie reads this can you drop me a line. I want to hear about how best to ask and what strategies have worked for you in the past. Now, I worked in Marketing and Sales so i have a lot of experience asking for stuff but right now I could used some seasoned advice.

I'll get back to all of you as soon as i know more. One way or another.
thanks

Thanks for the update, Nancy! I think it has happened more than once where it takes them a while to make a decision so don't give up hope yet ;)

I greatly appreciate the effort that you've put into this already no matter what happens :) It is very kind of you!

[essnce629]

Ohhh, I hope you hear back from WestMusic-- they have a ton of stuff in their "Percussion" section for kids! Great prices too!
