However, there is another aspect to be considered...distribution.  Naxos
has its own distribution and it is worldwide.  It was only because of
personal connections that we were able to get any distribution at all.
With worldwide distribution one can be fairly secure in the notion of
maintaining a minimum in sales.

That saiid, we are considering the reduction in price.
