I cherish going to all the rock n roll stores in my county.
- We have a lot of mom & pop stores but my buddy and I also have a few corporate rock n roll stores.
I have to admit that I properly shop at the bigger stores just because the prices are fair. I have giant sales & you can even buy a lot of their component on the internet. I would like to be able to go into one of the locations I’m negotiating on the price of anything that is sitting on the floor. It’s kind of difficult to do that with small companies when they have lower margins. Fortunately, a lot of rock n roll stores took a beating 20 years ago. A lot of rock n roll stores have to pay for extra overhead too. If you have wood instruments you are going to need regular humidification. It cannot be too dry & it cannot be too wet in the air. So you are either going to need a dehumidifier or a humidifier depending on the type of weather conditions you live in & where the rock n roll stores are situated. I know that since I live in a entirely dry weather conditions, the rock n roll stores have to use humidifiers to prevent the wooden instruments from cracking. They’ll get so dried out that they will either warp or crack. It’s just a factor of running a rock n roll store with wood instruments. Obviously this includes things like acoustic guitars, violins, cellos, & basses… Luckily I do not even play any of these instruments myself. I properly just play synthesizers & keyboards. I still like to visit the rock n roll instrument stores though.
