Of interest - but have not dealt with them for a very long time. It once was an excellent source - bought a new top line alto from them 20 years ago - good results and great price.

I assumed they were long gone. I remember my older brother often going to Sam Ash. He was hugely into music.

They were good to me in 2012. You could dicker with them. The kid there sold me a mint used Ibenez Gio electric guitar with a nice soft case for $40.00 along with an open box Fender Mustang II amp for $70.00. All perfect.

Do they have an actual storefront? Yeah - good place - went there to pick up a synth/keyboard and small amp quite a while back - seems like it is up in northern Indiana on an Interstate, maybe?

There was never enough of them to service the market anyway. Have lived in a lot of places but never had one within 100-200 miles.
But, I am sorry to see them go. All closures reinforce internet buying which means many purchases never live up to expectation so get further sold off.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
