I stopped at this place to support a local business and was not disappointed I was expecting the prices to be through the roof but they were actually very reasonably priced and great quality I was also greeted with great customer service! I would recommend this place for anyone looking to take lessons or purchase an instrument

One of my students took his trumpet to be repaired there because it wasn't actually changing notes, no clue what work they charged for, but they somehow missed the giant crack in the lead pipe! Not impressed at all. I've only been there once to get cork grease, quick easy purchase (reason for two stars instead of one).

An amazing music shop with really high quality and affordable instruments and wonderful staff. I came in to buy some picks and found a wonderful travel guitar that is absolutely amazing. The staff there sat me down and let me play it and he was extremely helpful and friendly. Hands down the best experience I've had in a music shop. I'd highly recommend this place over the bigger places like guitar center, it is a beautiful shop with a wonderful atmosphere and well kept and cared for instruments. I will definitely be back next time I am in town and would recommend this place to anyone looking to purchase an instrument.

I love this place! After dropping my guitar (that I bought elsewhere) Jason took a look at it and gave me an estimate on repair. He was very open and honest about the cost vs value of the guitar and helped me make the decision not to repair it. With zero pressure, he helped me look at other guitars to figure out exactly what I wanted, which helped decrease the sting of my broken guitar. I really wish I had just gone there in the first place!
Great experience! I did not buy a guitar today (again there was no pressure for being able to look and not buy today), but I will be back to buy once I spend a little more time deciding on a couple of things from what I learned today after talking with Jason. I've also previously taken lessons there and done a recital there (with voice/ukulele) and those were great experiences as well!

Don't waste your time and money. The people that work here are just high school kids who look like they'd rather be anywhere else. I recently bought guitar strings specifically for a classical guitar. I asked the kid for nylon strings and he handed me a pack assuring me that they were the only nylon strings they had. I had my reservations on his assertion as the kid could hardly utter more than a teenage grunt, but I went ahead and got them anyway. Surprise, surprise, turns out they were all metal strings.
When I called to see if I could exchange them someone answered the phone who sounded like he was at least 30. That didn't matter though since he said I opened the package that there was nothing they could do. Seriously? A brand new set of strings and you can't take them back or exchange them? How bout you repackage them? It's all good though as there is nothing that I need to do at this particular place of business. I can always find another store to give my money to. Now try hiring some staff that actually care about music and know what they're talking about.

My daughter takes guitar with Bill and he is amazing! We also really appreciate how helpful the young man at the front is all the time, explaining different guitars and equipment needed. The only two things I am bummed about: you don't get any kind of discount for buying multiple lessons or for having more than one kiddo in lessons, however, I still think the cost is more than reasonable. Also, we are on a waiting list for trumpet since the one teacher that will do in person is full. I guess that speaks to how good he must be :
