Just wanted to let you know, I do value my relationship w/ Alto, Working w/ Bobby has always been great..he's got a lot of knowledge and has always been a pleasure to work with...as stated we must have simply had a communication glitch. Before I stated working w / Bobby, I worked w/ Mark before he left.....its always been a good working relationship.. We have lots of stores out here, but I feel I get better customer service from Alto and I let all my musical acquaintances know that .. congratulations on your business and you choice of sales personnel.
