New Sm57 in Europe?

[aviel]

Hey fellas,
after reading the Cayman sound thread with the dual 57 technique, i thought to put my hand on another 57.

Here they sell them for really high rates though, like 220$. on ebay its 100$, but the delivery will cost a lot.

i was wondering, since i gonna pass this summer in europe (paris/amsterdam) are they any big shops/online stores with good prices with deliveries to paris?

i know music 123, but it's in the USA also

thomann.de is pretty good, they deliver for free if you order for €100, and that's pretty much what a sm57 costs here new

Might want to add a microphone stand or cable, so you hit that 100 mark

I also have bought from musicstore.de in the past without issues.

For some reason, all the dutch cyberstores have always been WAY overpriced for anything I needed, but local musicshops in Amsterdam should have sm57s on hand.

PS: might want to be careful with sm57s on ebay...a LOT of fakes going around :S

^^^ Last time I checked, thomann only does free shipping from 300 and up...

Any decent shop ( in paris, there's quite a lot of them in the pigalle area) will sell one for 90 euros ( it's what I paid for mine)

Hmm just checked it out, and it seems to depend on the country you order from. It is 100 euros in Holland, but in France it's 200 euros

Ahh well i guess i will take a trip to some stores in paris then
or buy a 2nd hand one.. not sure how clever it is though

If you've got the money, I'd make a 300 euro order from Thormann, and get a couple of other things you might need as well. As Nimvi said, get a stand, microphone cable and a variety of new strings or something. Unless its easier for you to make a trip to Paris.
