You are correct about some US dealers selling at MSRP. Yesterday, I was in a music store here on the west coast buying some etude books. I saw a three valve Jupiter BBb tuba with a price tag showing the MSRP-------no mention of a discount. Same thing for a Bach Strad trumpet which had a tag for around $1960. However, I suppose it's possible the sales people inform the potential buyer of the discounted price.
