First time in this store and it was impressive with plenty of stocked musical instruments. Also has plenty of parts and internet service. Check it out.

Great Store Great people

Favorite place to shop for all my music gear needs! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Jimmy is the best guitar repair tech that i have ever seen! If you are needing anything music related, make this your first stop!

Friendly and knowledgeable

Pretty nice place! First time I have ever been was last week and was surprised at how pretty the inside of the building was and the nice selection overall. They have some beautiful guitars in there that take up an entire wall!

My only two complaints is the drum section is cramped in a corner, and I wasn’t approached or asked if I needed help a single time. There was one other customer in the building besides me and there was around four employees by the counter. I walked around the entire store for about 30 minutes and not a single time was I asked if I needed anything.

Not a major deal. Nice store and I will be back!

MW is a great place to get music & supplies. Staff are helpful…

Helloooo arkansasmusicworks,

helloooo Mrs. Christina Baker,

My name is Ümit Özkalender and I ordered on 02/23/2017 via ebay.de (germany) 3 Dimarzio Steve Vai Guitar straps. After my shippment is not arrived, I wrote an email to you. NO ANSWER! Then I get in touch with ebay custom care. They told me, not to open a case! They get in touch with you! 30 days later after purchase and payment with PayPal, they told me that a case was not opend and my money was gone! PayPal do the same, what those useless, zero function ebay custom care do! Then I wrote you a couple of emails. NO ANSWER! No Shippment tracking! No replacement! No refund! NOTHING !!!

Soo, my 1st question is. Are you a serious company? And if you a serious company. Do you have any idea what custom care is? Grab the money and out of sight, out of mind?

And, my 2nd question. I want the guitar straps! Does that mean, I must pay one more time and hope it will be delivered! This time! Maybe?

Hope you have an good answer!

Regards

I’ve got no shippment and I was not refunded! That’s a fact! Don’t matter if it’s one or two years ago!

Went through amazon to purchase a Dimarzio super distortion pick up. The sent me an openend plexi with a generic p/u. Wiring diagram did not match the p/u received. The intent was to have a 5 split shaping for the p/u. I got a pick up with no hot wire or series ground. What a bunch of con artists.

Brought my guitar into get work done on it. Neck reset and put new strings on it. They ship it out to the luthier who gives it back in worse condition than I gave it to them in. DO NOT USE!

My husband loves this place!!

Great service and have what you need

Bobby and Owen have both been extremely helpful to us over the last two years!

The staff are friendly, the products seem pretty good, and it’s generally a good place to fulfill your guitar-based needs. They also sell things beyond guitars, like music books for brass, percussion, woodwind, and other string instruments, which would definitely be helpful to anyone looking to learn. From my experience, don’t be afraid to ask seemingly stupid questions; Quattlebaum is a safe place for a beginner to reveal their lack of knowledge.

easy to deal with when renting. no problems

Went there today. He has some great deals and he does layaway 6 month layaway if needed

I’ve purchased things from here before, but today, I felt as though my business was not wanted. I took a violin in due to having issues tuning it and the bridge popping off. Was told what I need to do. Told them thank you and asked my daughter if she wanted to look around. Was told to have a nice day. Was not asked if I needed help with anything else. Employee just walked away

They are selling stolen property.

Great home town store

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They made renting my daughter’s clarinet for school a breeze and fulfilled my order within 24 hours. Upon picking it up, they were very accommodating and also briefed me on a few key things I would have not otherwise known about. Pro Tip: make sure your child does NOT peel the label sticker off, as you will be out 3-4 weeks to order a new one in the event you need to send it in for repair. Musicians Exchange makes renting affordable. Highly reccomend. This is also Northridge Middle School’s music shop of choice!

Best music store in Arkansas!
Bill and his crew are friendly and honest.
They can fix anything, correctly. At a fair price. It’s mostly a guitar store but they have a little bit of everything.

Awesome place great staff

the staff is helpful. Just check the things out before you buy, the stuff is used so check it out and make sure it works the way you want it to work.

Great places to take your child to get a school band instrument.

Drove by & stopped because I’m new to the area and was looking for a music store. I’m a new drummer, so I was only curious about their drum supplies. Sadly, they had very little drum stuff, with only a handful of used cymbals for sale on display that I could try out.

The few drum sets they had were used, in bad condition & were stacked (not on stands or with heads on them). So, I was a bit disappointed.

Store looked a bit old, dirty & run down. The two guys working behind the counter were busy chatting with regular customers, but did welcome me when I entered the store. They were pleasant enough (which is why I gave 3 stars instead of 2). Wish they had more quality drum stuff to offer.

Dropped a guitar off for the owner to look at. He told me over the phone he’d give $150 for it and only a few hours later when I came in to get the money he prints me a ticket off and hands me $100. I reminded him that wasn’t what we agreed on and all he said was “that’s all I can do unless you want me to undo the transaction”. Not good business in my opinion. He lost a customer over 50 bucks. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

And now he’s calling me a liar. This isn’t some story I made up when I was bored, it actually happened. Remember the guitar was dropped off so it could be appraised. I don’t enjoy writing bad reviews but this one was earned.

Hate it I could not find a clarinet ,:(

Dropped my guitar off before Christmas was told it would be ready 2nd week of January. Called 3rd week was told not yet. Called 1st week of February was told it was being repaired. Called 4th week was told it would be ready today or tomorrow. Still not ready. Called March 2nd was told still not ready had not started on it had no idea when they would start on it or when it would be ready. Then the smart ass says if I am in a hurry I could just come and get it he did not care.

Very helpful staff.

we needed a slide whistle. we got a slide whistle. thanks

I’m always greeted by a super friendly staff; they’ll even get on a first name basis with their repeat customers. They carry a pretty wide selection of sheet music for piano, strings, and horns. Also they have a repair shop within their store called independent music repair. If they don’t have it or can’t fix it, like my bass guitar for example, they will send you in the right direction. This is an around lovely store. After ten years of patronage, I haven’t had a single issue. Keep it up y’all!

Loved this business. Welcoming people, warm. ❤

Always very helpful. Some hard to find items too.

I don’t have much for you compared the store to so I can’t say I’d give it five stars but why not four. It was just a quick and easy trip where I was looking for a cowbell and wasn’t a hundred percent what to look for. There was a guy there who helped me I forget his name but he didn’t hesitate and I got what I needed.

When I got there I was excited to be buying a ukulele something I’ve been wanting since I was little and when I asked how much taxes were because $82 up from the $54 seemed outrageous the man said idk and didn’t even check it just took an extra $21 and when I was asking questions about other instruments he had. No information literally making me. Still waiting on the money to be back in my account had to go to bed hungry tonight

Awful service. Bought strings for my guitar, and since im not very good at putting them on and they were the most expensive strings, i left my guitar for them to put the strings on for me bc they said theyd do it for free and that they would call me within a day or so. I waoted almsot a week and figured that i must have missed the call and went there to get my guitar. They hadnt even touched it and told me that it would be several more days before they could get to it. I just went ahead and took my guitar. Never getting my business again im just gonna go to guitar center.

Do not let them store your debit card on file. I have an unauthorized charge on my account. ONLY PAY THEM THROUGH THE WEBSITE, NOT OVER THE PHONE.

My son has been taking Piano lessons with Mr. Todd Whistler since he was five. He is 7 now. He loves Mr. Whistler who is a great teacher and very patient with kids.

\﹏/ Palmer Music Co. is the premier musical equipment outlet store for the Conway area. Beacuse of their neighborhorly customer service, the expertise in their repair department, and the talent that their staff and teachers share, they are the go to guys for all of your needs as a musician.

Friendly staff, good selection, and fair prices.

Usually busy because they’re good at what they do!

I was looking at electric guitars and they didn’t offer to let me plug any of them in. How are you truly going to know if you like one or not if you can’t hear the sound.

Talked to Joey in the store today. He took some time to help me plan for an upcoming purchase for our church. They have a large selection of all kinds of musical instruments and they do lessons, as well. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Highly recommended! Thanks, Joey!

Go to GUITAR CENTER instead (you can actually have FUN there).

Went in expecting to buy a new guitar on 01/26/2023. The man behind the counter was very unfriendly & unhelpful.
I found one I wanted to buy but I just didn’t really want to give my money to a person who didn’t know how to smile.
Another employee walked by and was even more emotionless than the other guy. I left feeling very unwelcome.
I will not be back.

Let’s play.

Great service, they were very helpful. The guy was able to answer all my questions and spent enough time with me that I was comfortable making the buying decision.

Very clean , friendly and helpful staff

A rather large Guitar Center especially for a smaller city. I’m not a big fan of GC simply because they hurt local music stores that almost always do a better job at serving real musicians. I will give this location credit for having a somewhat knowledgeable staff, rare for GC.

Very helpful staff. Good selection. Prices on some(not all)are a little too high. My used Epiphone cost the same as a new one.

Cool customer service, friendly staff and affordable price .
It was a nice visiting place

Poor service and staff was even more less knowledgeable

This place use to have good quality guitars, now all the have is cheap junk. Went in to get some guitar stings the other day, waited forever for someone to check me out. I ended up just walking away. I’m not waiting 30 minutes to purchase guitar strings. Won’t be back!

Today not good

Love this Epiphone

Ask for Ed he will hook you up with the best deals.

Employees are helpful and don’t mind if you try things out.

Friendly staff who are always willing to help

Great Place and good help. Needs more high end selection though.

Staff is cool. Some nice guitats, missing that high end professional service you would get at a local music shop. Geared towards rock only. Go see Zach and get your guitar fixed or setup though! One of the best in Little Rock!

You still cant browse. I go into the guitar room, guy comes in asks if he can help. I say I am browsing for my Father’s Day gift. He says there is limited browsing and someone has to help with guitars before you can play it. He, leaves, I see a couple I may be interested in, walk out, hes gone. So I just had to leave empty handed….Dont bother yet unless you know what you want before you go.I gave it two stars because the guy in the electric piano room was awesome with my son.

Employees are very rude!

Great
