| I always assumed it was another era's version of money laundering, overcharging for uniforms and instruments, leaving without instruction. A snakeoil salesman does sell actual snake oil; when it does work, he's gone. When Hill isn't around to teach lessons, only sell band outfits, the profits are his. | |

| Does Harold Hill ever actually sell that he’s a music instructor? I don’t think so. | |

| In the verse to 76 Trombones, he claims he's there to "organize" a boy's band. I don't know if he ever says anything further than that. But most people would easily expect that "organize" includes instruction in a case like this. Especially because he never mentions needing any help with the actual rehearsing, etc. | |
