Has anyone had any experiences with samash.com, good or bad. I`ve heard some bad things about them and I was about to get a alto sax from them.

sam ash is probably the best place to your sax from. I order drums from the all the time and i shop there alot beacause they have so many things they let you play.

i used to order thru sam ash, now i use them as a walk in customer only.
