George Heinl & co, in toronto
Their new website does not seem to be running but I have bought from them & I believe they are good.

Heinl's is no longer a Schaller dealer .. Gary has a few sets left he is clearing out, but they are mainly a Gotoh shop now .. CanWest out of Vancouver has teh Schaller distribution for Canada ...

Ok, i'll check. I kind far from montreal ( duh ), are they online sealers? And do you have an idea why all the schaller products I can find here (canada & USA) are only available in chrome, gold and black? Schaller are offering vintage copper, ruthenium (sexy...), satin pear, nickel... could find anything of it here?

You might want to try giving Serge DeJonge a call .. he may have a contact to get you these .. he is up in Chelsea Quebec now ....

As far as being online sellers for Schallers, not likely, Canwest is a distributor .. you would likely have to order thru a retailer like Steves or L&M ... ..

Stew Mac has the typical fair .. chrome, gold, maybe black ...

Francis, have you been at Archambault? I used to work at there (the one on the corner of Ste-Catherine and Berri) and at some point we did carry Schaller products, but I don't know if there is any left since the parts department changed a lot in the last year or so.

y'ont quand même encore quelques pièces intéressantes, ça peut valoir la peine d'aller jeter un oeil si tu y as jamais été [:Y:]

C'est sûr que j'suis déjà allé! Par contre j'ai pas remarqué pour les Schaller, j'vais aller voir, mais bon, j'ai la vague impression que j'va trouver juste la base, et seulement en chrome, p-e en gold. Mais quand même, ca vaut le coup d'oeil merci...

By the way, it's the first time I see you here, enchanté! I see you work (or worked?) at XXL guitars? I visited Marc at his shop this year, with my class. I'm stuying at Bruand (where Dan fiocco is teaching...). The guitars I saw there are just amazing...!

ouais j'ai étudié a Bruand aussi, j'ai fait parti de la premiere batch de cobayes :P c'est la que j'ai rencontré Marc, et j'ai gardé contact avec lui... et j'ai travaillé un peu pour lui, mais la plupart du temps je suis juste a l'atelier a etre dans ses jambes et a lui poser plein de questions :) héhéhé je sais pas quand vous avez visité sa shop, mais il a une nouvelle batch en production qui risque d'etre assez folle... Bref! jte souhaite que les études aille bien, mais si c'est Dan ton prof j'ai pas trop peur ;) nous on a eu André tout le long.... mais le programme était pas tout a fait monté, et encore moins rodé donc ca a donné ce que ca a donné... et on était pas le meilleur groupe non plus hahaha!! y'a pas mal juste Steph (Faille, je crois qu'elle travaille encore a Bruand mais la elle est en congé maternité je crois) qui était studieuse comme faut! oops_sign

Bah j'suis en 1ere, c'est deux profs que tu connais surement pas. Dan enseigne en 2e, et je crois que andré fait la 3e. Et le programme s'en vient de mieux en mieux, j'peux déjà te dire que nous en première on a une longueur d'avance sur les 3e en ce moment..!
