I get that you were making a political jab, but I too have been burned with some lemons of instruments from Conn. I have some of the same issues already mentioned.
Unless someone (probably several someones) can vouch for Conn I will not be buying another product from them. Which is a lot of sub-brands too.
So while it's terrible that there are people losing jobs, I'm not purchasing a product that isn't quality. Just like I won't buy a GM vehicle for the same reasons.
So Conn moving to China isn't much of an issue for me. They might as well have shut-down completely for all I'm concerned since I won't be buying from them.
But that wasn't really OP's point was it?
