where to buy roland gear in chicago?

8 May 2005, 14:12

Hi! I'm new to this great forum. I got my X8 yesterday... I'm 25 years old and live in Germany trying to get a lawyer.

Ok, here is my question: Since I am in Chicago over the next week I wonder if someone could tell me where I can find a roland dealer/shop there? Location over price (do I say that correct?) What I'm trying to say is it would be good if that shop is located in Chicago city/downtown

Thank you, robi

Hi Robi,

Since you are thinking location over price, I'd suggest the Chicago Guitar Center:

Guitar Center Chicago
2633 North Halsted
Chicago, Illinois 60614
Store Hours:
M-F: 10-9 | Sat: 10-7 | Sun: 11-6
Phone: 773-248 2808
Fax: 773-248 3038

It's really the closest store to downtown Chicago that has a large selection of Roland gear. Be sure to do some research on prices before you walk in.

Thank you very much zeronyne!

I guess I'll be very buisy so I won't be able to travell the suburbs for any musicshops and compare prices... but since the dollar is downrated(?) compared to the euro I might be able to afford a SRX card which are very expensive over here.

Thanks robi

You also may be able to have it shipped to your hotel or wherever you are staying from one of the bigger internet chains. You would save a considerable amount of money that way. Check musiciansfriend.com, zzounds.com, sweetwater.com and audiomidi.com.

Robi,

All Guitar Centers do a price match including shipping and tax price matches. So, do some research on-line and get your best prices, print out any emails or on-line ads and bring it with you to Guitar Center, they will match the price. Here are some good places to start:
