    Anecdotal… Through 3 quarters, we are up about 5% over last year. Over the past 6 weeks, we’ve had the three best Costco events that we’ve had in several years, and this is with a very limited item list that excludes Clavinovas under $5K.

    Which oddly fits with what we’re seeing in the stores. The mid price points has slowed, but the upper end sales and lower end sales have risen drastically. I think the customers that would have bought $4K Clavs are buying $2K Clavs. That’s easy to see… And I can understand the high end sales not being as seriously impacted as well, but the very odd thing is the rise of the upper tier vertical pianos… I’ve sold more Yamaha YUS5s, Bechstein A6s, and Seiler 132s than I have U1s over the last few months. It’s very odd.

              He really didn't want any distractions from his middle east stuff.

                I assume ‘70%’ refers to the portion of the tariff that will hit consumers come fall.

                    It’s not a long clip and worth watching, but the last 30 seconds is potent. People have lost 25% of their purchasing power, but not had a 25% raise in wages.
