Not that I know.

I don't recall offhand, but I think they are related. Perhaps they are owned by the same parent corporation?

I think Musicians Friend owns Giardanelli (or the other way around, never sure about these type of ownership things).

[soundministries]

Guitar center owns Musicians Friend and Giardinelli while WWBW owns Music 123.com or vice versa.

[Rowka]

Now it's ALL guitar Center.

I'd be REALLY surprised if Musician's Enemy, GC, WWBW, Music123, and a whole host of other online music retailers were not owned by the same parent company.

What you speak is true in a sense. As you all likely know, Woodwind & Brasswind/Music123 was purchased by Musician's Friend (which owns Giardinelli). MF is a subsidiary of Guitar Center, as is Music & Arts. Because of different states having different tax laws, Music & Arts and MF (WWBW, M123, Giardinelli) are run as completely separate companies from Guitar Center. This way, we avoid all of the tax law complications as we ship into states that have GC stores.

Clear as mud?
