Walmart selling band instrument in a box????

[Rick Denney]

Think about sending some letters to the editors of the local papers. Unless the papers' editors are influenced by the store's advertising, you'll have some editorial page clips to copy and hand out to the band parents.

Before you do, you ought to take a look at the instruments in question. You may be challenged and I doubt the consensus of Tubenet will be persuasive, heh, heh.

I'm sure they are as bad as everyone says, but I'd want to make sure I was opining based on first-hand experience.

Would you buy a tuba from Wal-Mart if they had them? After all... they DO have a very good return policy!

That return policy would probably last about as long as the horn too.

I mean IF Wal-Mart sold Mirafones and Rudys!

Big Box Store represents and warrants that the horns are fit for use in school bands, but none of the school band officials approve them.

Big Box might call it a return policy. I'd call it breach of warranty of fitness for intended use, part of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) in every state.
