For those of us that prefer shopping in an actual store, the very thought of buying that instrument (warehoused, blemished, probably dropped, and/or otherwise obscenely bulk-produced) at MAP pricing, and then somehow feeling like we got a good deal&#8230;. &#8230;it&#8217;s uh&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. &#160; &#8230;.well, it&#8217;s just silly!  But many people still think that [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Why Shop Local?</div>
<div></div>
<div>For those of us that prefer shopping in an actual store, the very thought of buying that instrument</div>
<div>(warehoused, blemished, probably dropped, and/or otherwise obscenely bulk-produced) at MAP pricing, and then somehow feeling like we got a good deal&#8230;.</div>
<div>&#8230;it&#8217;s uh&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>&#8230;.well, it&#8217;s just silly!  But many people still think that the best prices can be found on their computers.</p>
<p>Who  can blame them?  Relentless online advertising, pretty pictures and too  many Brick N Mortar stores that actually do charge too much, have hurt  the reputations of low priced stores that do-it-right.</p></div>
<div>If  what you&#8217;ve purchased lately was with the click-of-a-dusty-mouse, it&#8217;s  time to take a step back and give Brick N Mortars a chance!</p>
<p>&#8230;more importantly, it&#8217;s time that you give us a chance <img src='http://www.mtsmusic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>You don&#8217;t need to be convinced with statistics and moral reasons, you may just need a little encouragement.</div>
<div>
Visit Mantova&#8217;s Two Street Music and have what human beings call: <strong>a conversation.</strong></div>
<div>A conversation about the gear you want,<br />
A conversation about your interests,<br />
A conversation about music.</p>
<p>If we talk, you and Mantova&#8217;s can figure out what items you&#8217;re really looking for.</p></div>
<div>Who knows?  The worst that can happen is you just go back to shopping online.</div>

<p>YOU set the prices and you make the deals.  All we do is charge you a little rent.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s better than commission.  See you soon.</p>
