Hello, Durel. I haven't tried Music 123 and the only things I bought from Musician's Friend, were blemished items, on sale.(All I can afford)LOL. They actually treated me pretty well. I bought a keyboard and the display didn't work, so I called and moaned and they sent me a return voucher, so it didn't cost me anything. I did buy a Remanufactured item (roland)from Synthony' and it didn't work right, so I called to ship it back. They didn't like it and I had to pay shipping both ways on a defective item, with nothing to show for it, not too happy. Lately, I've been buying most of my stuff on ebay, with no problems.
