Hi John,

Long & McQuade are authorized to handle
(some?) Hammond-Suzuki products here in Canada.
I got this from Teresa Edelstein, Hammond-Suzuki's
Retail ProLine Sales Manager in "Chicago" - (630) 543-0277 -
who also said that L & M have already ordered/sold a few.

After a bit of friendly persuasion, L & M's keyboard department in
Calgary agreed to order an XK-3 and EXP-100F expression pedal in from
H-S in the States.
He very decently offered to keep it sealed in the box in order for
me to have first crack at it, with no obligations whatsoever.
Of course, there'll be others interested in this organ too.
They also have a rental policy whereby your first month's rent is
waived if you decide to purchase the instrument.

However, the prices he quoted me I thought were pretty steep.
Based on the U.S. Manufacturers' Suggested Retail Price,
and currency exchange at $1.00 US = $1.40 Canadian (!!),
plus 1.1% shipping, we're lookin' at $3500 for the pair! Plus taxes!!

Regards, Rob B.
