AABACA is a very legit operation in the Twin Cities area where I live. They 
cater specifically to the educational market, hence the heavy discounts. I 
don't know what they require in the way of proof that you're an educator or 
whether they have a different price list for "normal" people. But they are 
very nice people and all who work there are well-trained. They carry 
synthesizers and other computer accoutrements as well--all at good prices for 
a non-coast establishment. Call them and see.

I don't know what "bli nader" is (is it a Yiddish adaptation of Hebrew like 
b'li nadar or something like that?)

Best wishes,
Steve
