Woodwind and Brasswind

They seem to have the best prices on the market. Btw, and fwiw, I did my research and they are *NOT* related to music123, though they are using the same outfit for their web design and extended payment plans.

Positives: The customer service people responded back within minutes of my email asking them questions on two different occasions. Their website was easy to use and included automated tracking numbers and return authorization number. They did refund my   Read full review...

Just a comment on the similarity between the Music123 website and the Woodwind and Brasswind website... I too have noticed the similarity, but they ARE DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME STORE! Woodwind and Brasswind is a real brick-and-mortar store based in South Bend Indiana. I used to go there all the time when I lived just across the state line in Michigan. It's a great store with a huge inventory. Why the similarity in web sites? Maybe both stores have contracted the same company to handle the web-end of their business.

I've ordered from WW&BW web site since moving away from Michigan and had great service from them over the web.

I bought my daughter's Yamaha trumpet from Woodwind and Brasswind. I had no problems, and I liked the convenient 3 payment option. I initially started out at my local Sam Ashe store and even the counter help there recommended WWBW. He said that's where he shops...especially for hard to find or out of stock items. The item was shipped in pristine condition and the sales help was pretty good. And the price was unbeatable. They even sent me an appraisal of my new instrument when I requested one for my insurance company. I think some of the responses here are isolated incidences. People are more likely to write about a poor experience than a good one because it is their avenue to vent. I had a good experience and would buy from them again. As a matter of fact I'm now looking for a viola for my son and WWBW is the first place I went.

I was worried about ordering from this site after reading some of the other reviews, but I actually had no problems. My order was shipped quickly, arrived in perfect condition and the customer service was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely order from this site again

I have ordered a flute,two piccolos, and a a music stand from Woodwind and Brasswind and I have had terrible experiences. The flute played extremely out of tune and had pad problems even though it was brand new. It took two monthes for them to send me a new one. The music stand arrived dented and I also had to send for a new one. The first piccolo arrived with a cracked bore and the company refused to replace it because the defect came from Selmer and they were just a warehouse. I would never reccomend this store to anyone unless you want a huge headache. It would be better to pay more money at another store. When you send back an item W&B will charge you for the shipping.

WWBW's website provides a clue. Its laid-out virtually identically to the infamous Music 123's. And the prices, product descriptions, item numbers, etc, are identical. A nice touch was WWBW's registering/chartering in Indiana: it makes it appear that they're somehow connected with the reputable Prowinds. Nice try, boys.
