The only place I've found lately that has significantly lower prices then 
other
vendors is Full Compass. I've purchased from them for many years and have 
gotten
good service and good prices. They tend more toward pro audio type 
products then
musical instrument type, but appear to be getting a bit more of that type 
thing
in recent years.
