I recently purchased a new trumpet. My son tried several trumpets and I asked tons of question throughout the process. Paige remained patient, accessible, polite and enthusiastic in helping us find the best instrument to meet our needs. Thank you!

Great place. You can tell their passion about music and helping others. Would always recommend them for anyone needing an instrument of getting one serviced.

My daughter had a clarinet that needed to be repaired before a competition this Saturday. Meyer Music was able to repair it two days early! So grateful for a local music store supporting our bands!
