High End Quality Retailers in the Chicago, Il Area

Music direct is located in Chicago. I have done plenty of business with musicdirect.com and according to the "about us" tab they have all stock on hand at their retail location. Visit the web site then go have a look.

All good points. That's why I suggested music direct. They are great to work with and don't push any single product. They have a huge selection in all price ranges that you can actually go see. You can look at everything on their web site first and do research here.

Once you have all of that knowledge and experience you will be ready to buy, be it new or used. I don't know of anywhere else in the area that has the variety they do. Good luck!

P.S. I have no affiliation with music direct what so ever. I have just had great service from them.
