Looks like another record-breaker. A fresh new 'lowest sales in history' month. Was talking to one of my competitors the other day, and they aren't faring much better. He claims it's all because of internet sales. I'm not so certain. I believe it's just because people aren't buying stuff right now. Only things that really truly matter - and musical instruments aren't up there on that list.

Although it is interesting that Amazon.com is reputedly selling 10,000 musical instruments a day. I'm lucky to sell one or two a week. Was doing some calculations and figured that my store accounts for about 0.00001 percent of US musical instrument sales. I'm actually encouraged by those numbers. I thought it would involve a whole lot more zeroes...

But the discouraging part is that in order to move one more decimal place to the left, I have to sell ten times as much stuff. That's OK - I'd be quite happy with 0.00002 percent of the market. Heck, if I had 0.000015 percent I wouldn't have any complaints.
