I guess your right that they might as well stop having dealers if they can't supply them. It is very fatiguing though when you have a customer who wants a flight case and only will accept a calton and you can't get one because they decide who they will and will not serve.

Most people fell resentment when they offer up money for a product that is advertised at a price and are basically ignored. I guess that is something people expect in a modern consumerist society. I come from the "jazz world" where we go to a music store that is oriented towards orchestra and band instruments and order a case and don't really care who makes it.

For some odd reason bluegrass guys only want calton cases and the owner of calton seems indifferant to their demand. Whatever. If you want a fiberglass case so bad just go to your local music store and go with what they sell. They're really all the same.
