I found the customer service at Woodwind and Brasswind was great.  The team of professionals they have working there answered all my questions in regards to what instrument would best suit a newbie.  You pretty much have the choice of emailing them in regards to questions or you can do like I did and just call.  The 110% low price guarantee that they offer their customers made me feel that I can’t go wrong as far as savings go.  They will actually beat competitor’s prices and give you 10% more to boot- great deal!

Unlike many other music stores, Woodwind and Brasswind offer free shipping on the majority of their products; they are clearly marked on the website.  However, if you place an order over $99- it’s an automatic free shipping discount; excluding oversized items- of course.  The free shipping is ground shipping- but most orders arrive within 5-7 business days.  So, go with the free shipping and save yourself some cash. 

The return policy at Woodwind and Brasswind is a little longer than most return policies for musical stores in that they offer you 45 days to return your item for a full refund minus any fees.  Fees are assessed according to how they receive the item when it is returned; for example- all mouthpieces and bows are assessed a $4 fee; woodwinds and brass instruments are often charged a fee of $10 for sterilization.
