Great service! They do everything for electric guitars, were willing to try using spare parts to replace a tuning knob I lost. Super helpful, and great prices too.

I came across these folks online and decided to give them a try. Before I went there I had heard from people say how expensive they are. But I decided to go find out for myself. I dropped off my Takamine G340sc off to be setup. It's been sitting at a friend's house for a few years and I was worried of damage from sitting so long. The relief was terrible and it needed some basic care. I dropped it off Friday and got it back the next Tuesday.
They cleaned it up, got it all straight and playing great. The price for the setup and strings were very reasonable, and very competitive. I got both my Strat and this guitar from Ray Hennig's years ago, they were my go to place before they closed shop and we moved from central Texas. So far this place has definitely got my business going forward.

Eric and Robin Williams have created a unique and dynamic environment for people who want to learn an instrument and improve their musical skill level. Their highly skilled, top-shelf musical teaching staff- enthusiastic, easy-going and approachable- employ fun, creative and inspiring approaches to teaching students of all skill levels and ages. A bit off the beaten path. definitely a rare jewel well worth finding.

Excellent music shop. Very friendly and honest. Brought in some equipment that wasn't working I had bought from guitar center years ago and had them check it out. Turns out I should have read the manual better. There was nothing wrong with it and they explained how it works. No charge, just happy to help and also helped me track down some parts for my guitar that were hard to find. I bought a couple packs of strings for their help and definitely plan on returning even though it's a bit of a drive from where I live. This is a 5 star business.

Friendly, service oriented guitar store. OK it's really a music store but for me it's a guitar store. In addition to great service they have a nice selection of new and used guitars.

Arbor music was nice to let the "Lone Star Strummers" mountain dulcimer group practice in there shop on July 26 2016. They have helped support our group over the years with parts, instrument repairs and assistance with our playing. We would like to thank them for their support.

I've always dreamed of playing the cello. And Arbor Music has made that dream come true! When I first contacted them about cello lessons I warned them that at 45, I had NO musical experience at all. But I was willing to learn. I was told that would not be a problem. When I arrived my cello was waiting for me. Eric and Robin couldn't have been nicer or more encouraging. I felt right at home.
I have been taking lessons for almost a year and can now read music and play my cello. I look forward to my lesson each week! Robin is great at breaking down the basics into digestible segments. I never felt overwhelmed or lost. I highly recommend Arbor Music to anyone who is interested in learning or polishing their musical skills.

They are a small business, but really care about their customers. We took lessons from Jessica and she was a delight. My children loved her. She is worth the effort we make to drive over. Love this place.

We love it here! My son Todd started beginning of July 2013. My lil brother had passed away june 20, 2013 and my son said he wanted to be a great guitarist like his Uncle. So we started searching and found Arbor Music. Todd enjoys going to lessons and playing with his teacher Arjun.

My daughter started out by taking a ukulele workshop. She loved it! She has progressed to guitar, and has continued to evolve as a musician. This place is really laid back while mixing traditional teaching with fun opportunities to let kids delve into music they like & are interested in, that they can learn.
