While it was still in business, we received friendly service and reasonable prices. Sad to see you go.

I called at 10:08 AM for some general help regarding my drum kit and while the person who answered the phone did help and give me a great tip, they were quick to shut down the phone call and hang up on me even when i was not finished because they forgot to unlock the front door and someone was there (I could have been put on hold at the minimum). I have taken lessons here in the past and all the people are great but in my opinion from that small interaction i cannot say the customer service is still at the level of quality it once was.

Great music shop with knowledgeable folks working. Having someone that has personal experience to help you is a nice thing. It makes all the difference in the world when you are needing help. I'm going to be stopping back by to find out about music lessons for my 9 year old and I feel like I can trust the judgment of the folks at Mid Rivers Music.

You might have to go into Saint Louis for high end or vintage gear but for mid level or budget great they're a solid choice. Staff is friendly and helpful. I've mostly purchased strings and boxes from them.

I have purchased 3 guitars and now, my very first digital piano from Mid Rivers Music. Atrayu, (spelling is different) helped me immensely. I have been researching for almost a year! He gave me accurate info, had great product knowledge, was super easy going, and no pressure, just a willingness to help me understand. Even when I told him I wasnt buying today, he gave me his undivided attention. When I came back, sadly he wasn't scheduled. But. Ken, was amazing as well!
He showed me a few quality pieces, didnt mind that I came in and compared one last time, and made sure I saw another model that was awesome, but my mind was made up. I got a very great savings and the whole crew went above and beyond! Thank you so much, I cannot say enough about this store! My next purchase will definitely be here. Thank you Mid Rivers Music!

My experience was absolutely positive. Needed a Pre-amp put into my bass right before a gig and the guitar/ bass guitar tech fixed it within just a few minutes. I highly recommend this store!
