They are scamsters! My eager 12 year old, a budding [or at least interested] Sax student, wanted to graduate from alto to tenor Sax, so we called them a couple of weeks ago: they told us we could purchase one, or have one for $50/month for rent-to-own, which seemed good way to go, since who knows how long my boy's interest would last. We went there yesterday, the salesman saw how eager my boy was, and he told us again $50/month for rent-to-own, after checking with someone else. My boy excitedly followed sales guy to see instrument - his excitement was clear to all. Another guy chimes in, maybe on cue, "yeah, they're $65-$75/month, RTO." Hm; price growing. I filled out the paperwork, with all the staff now standing around, curiously interested in this matter. Now it has gone to firm $75/month from "$65-$75," which had grown from twice-told $50! Hm! But I filled out paperwork anyway, my boy's excitement driving the dynamic. I asked how much the Sax is, if the first year goes to purchase. The guy processing us told me was $899.00. I commented that that seems very reasonable; boy's eagerness clear to all. Another person then whispers to person dealing with us [probably on another cue], and he then scratched out the $899.00 and inserted $1499.00 on the forms! Then I blew, and told them they had the wrong chump, I tore up paperwork, and we left, my boy's eagerness squelched! That place is a bait-and-switch fraud. We suspect they were all crowding around because they had a bet about which one of them could pull off the next scam. I am the wrong one to scam, especially when my son's eagerness lies in the breach. Quite the wrong one. That place is one of the few places around to serve the growing numbers of kids who want to get into music, so I wonder how many others have been thus defrauded. Utter Dirtbags!
