Do you have bar chimes? Why yes, we do.

Do you have bar chimes? Why yes, we do. How about the model blah-blah bar chime stand with a tambourine attachment? Sigh... 'Fraid I can't help you with that one. Here's the number for the nearest place that can. Next? I need a trumpet stand. Yeah, I've got those. ...And a Selmer flugelhorn. Uhm, can't help you with that one. We don't normally (as in never) carry Selmer or flugelhorns. Well, how much would one cost? Sigh... Here we go again. Can you order me one? Lessee, they want a 50 piece minimum opening order. If I go with the cheapest clarinets that'll cost oh about 30-40 thousand dollars to get your flugelhorn. We'll even ignore the fact that it would take me oh about 15 years to get rid of all those horns. Sorry, but I can't stretch that one. Could you tell me who can? Maybe. Try this place. Next? I need a bassoon case. Could you tell me which brands you carry? Sigh... Next?
