Please help an upright newbie

Greetings... I come in peace from the other side

Can someone please help me locate a dealer(s) in the Orlando/Central FL area who can help me with the purchase of an upright?

Also, if anyone knows of available teachers in the area, that would be great. I am focussed on jazz, but need instruction concerning the entire instrument.

Thanks a lot.

I don't know if you're looking to come this far south.. But I know of one in Fort Pierce, I go to her all the time. As I speak she has 3 really nice used ones for sale

Hi - I play around Orlando. I'll PM you with my luthier's contact info.

I also come from the other side and have only been here for a week or so. It's not as dark as I've been told.
My fear is the DB version of G.A.S.. It seems to be a more expensive addiction.

Hi Sippy,

I can drive for the right instrument. Can you send me some more info?

Thanks
