A deceitful, completely untrustworthy company - avoid!

I purchased a digital audio interface from their eBay store on May 9th, 2012, listed as having two in stock, with shipment expected in 1-2 business days. After this did not happen, I sent a message to them on the 14th, and they replied that they didn't ...

Poor Customer Service

by merryday, Nov 18, 2009 Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
I orded a sax gig bag & 2 boxes of reeds via phone to take a advantage of a 20% discount special.  The notice stated that we had to order by phone.  The man who took the order seem to have an attitude or just did not care about helping with ...

Woodwind and Brasswind is a good place to get Martin guitar strings

by Horswispr, Mar 20, 2008 Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
When it comes to buying guitar strings on line, I admit that I just go for the best price. For Elixirs, the best price was at Interstate Music, and my buying experience there was A-OK. For Martin SP 80/20 Lights, the best price I could find was at ...

Very Erratic, From the best to the absolute worst.

by berniez40, Feb 24, 2006 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
The first time I ever ordered from them was a wonderful experience. I am a bassist who tends to be picky about his rosin (for the bow) as a lot of tonal quality depends on this. They didn't have one of the three brands I like to mix and match, but it was ...

Absolutely the WORST...and that's saying it nicely

by tryit, Jan 17, 2006 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Disregard this opinion if you can speak to a live person through the WWBW sales line at 800-348-5003 in under 30 minutes. (Granted,) I ordered during the Christmas rush...but that is no excuse for what followed. Okay, I ordered a Uke, top of the ...

by votingmachines, Nov 5, 2004 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
The Short: * They are helpful people and the prices are good. * Don't buy anything that is not in stock. * They are dishonest about what is in stock, and when things are expected. * They will tell you almost anything to keep you from canceling ...

I have shopped at the Woodwind Brasswind since college (1984-1988). I was a music major at Butler. They were first a brick and mortor and a mail order store (long before the arrival of the commercialization of the internet and the wwbw.com website. They ...

This company is apparently under new management, and has really gone to the dogs. The old WW&BW used to have excellent customer service. They converted to a new system and deleted all of their old customer accounts. The people working there now have
