I'm going to head down to the local music store today and see what kind
of deal they can make me. I'm renting a clarinet from them for my
daughter and maybr I can work out a package deal to buy it along with a
Ovation. I was hoping I could find a big guitar mail order outfit that
offered rock bottom prices on Ovations.
