Walked into Randy’s Music just to look around and found some great deals on guitars, equipment, and accessories. He has a large rack of quality guitar straps for reasonably prices too. He’s also great instructor and that’s a great testimony for both his musical ability and desire to pass his knowledge down to the younger generation of musicians on their way up! Drop in and say HI RANDY! Glad I did.
If you are looking to learn to play guitar, look no further. Randy is the guy to see. He is very informative and shares his knowledge with his students. His shop is filled with all kinds of guitars,banjos,ukuleles. Stop by and check it out
Great store
Selection consists of mainly guitars, basses and a few country oriented instruments. Limited selection.
Not a super big store with lots of options but they have the things I need
Biggest piece of trash you’ll ever meet in your life.

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.
Rentals are a bit pricey, but instruments are very high quality, and I have never had any major problems.
Always very helpful. Some hard to find items too.
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
Pretty great selection of instruments, however I felt extremely awkward with the staff and felt like my questions were intrusions. You could chalk this up to me just being anxious, but I would have much more appreciated an employee who could recommend stuff to me, and willing to help me find what I’m looking for. I’ll be going to A different shop to get what I need
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 “go to” place for any band gear, lights and sound. Paul knows his stuff and is always ready to help. I love dealing with an Owner Operated family business.
Good folks
Always have what I need. Friendly
Great local music store. We have shopped here for years.
Not to bad
Good place to buy guitars, don’t ask them to fix anything you own uness you want it damaged.

Address: 4300 Rogers Ave #55, Fort Smith, AR 72903 , Artieda , Arkansas , United States
Staff are knowledgeable and friendly! Come here few times a month for my 2 kids play the clarinet, baritone saxophone, bassoon and violin.
Super sweet and extremely helpful!
They had the components I needed and were very helpful.
Saied Music Store es una tienda para una persona que quiere aprender a tocar un instrumento. Los empleados son muy amables y son muy buenos para ayudar. Yo recomendaría esta tienda para alguien buscando su primer instrumento. También recomendaría esta tienda para músicos buscando partes para su instrumento. Lo único malo es que la tienda es muy pequeña y no hay mucha variedad para escoger.
They are very friendly and have good service. I believe they are high on their prices.
I bought a keyboard DGX-640 from this store which is cost $920. Then I realized the keyboard was not brand new and there was no box at all. Later, I did a research online, (Ebay, Amazon..etc.) and found that the original price was only $599 including everything. Most of the keyboards they are selling are not brand new at all. Be ware!
I showed them the kind of guitar strings I needed specifically not knowing entirely the name because they’re the experts right? I said I needed bullet strings for two fender guitars… they sold me a pack of “strings with the ball on the end” and when I opened the package they weren’t what I needed. A musical instrument store where the workers don’t know anything about musical instruments. Don’t waste your time or money or money, you’ll just be gaslit.
5. Guitar Center
Address: 160 E Joyce Blvd, Fayetteville, AR 72703 , Artieda , Arkansas , United States
The staff worked with us to get us the items we were looking for.
Was a little crowded but had a great selection of new and even some used in the back. The employees were super cool and willing to help
Good place, friendly people. They could use some extra help this time of the year.
Was greeted, pointed in the direction of guitars, then treated like I was a burden for the rest of the time. There was a condescending undertone in the answer for every question I asked. I was buying an entry level guitar for my son, but If I was spending more money than that, I would have went somewhere with a more inviting customer service.
The place was dark and had a strange smell. The service was slow, and when I tried to get lessons, my instructor sucked! He didn’t actually teach me anything, and I just felt this condescending tone. Like, if you’re going to get a job, make it about something you actually like!

Yeah so I walk into the store and everything i wanted…this guy ANDY….he just let me have it all!!…..FOR FREE.!…I love this place!!!!…Rock Local
Awesome gear to shop and e en better customer service.
Great shop! Good selection, much better than national chains
Very personal service
Friendly’s staff knows equipment.
Firstly, this shop provides great service on guitars, setups and string changes. But beware of purchasing a guitar that is not currently hanging on their shelf. For example, the Fender American Professional II Strat, comes in 9 different colors. If you want a color that isn’t hanging on their wall, they will offer to get it for you, but it will be considered a “special order” and not eligible to be returned. This is an odd policy since they are an authorized Fender dealer. If you order the guitar direct from Fender, or Sweetwater, or any other online retailer, the guitar is eligible for return no questions asked. So essentially, trying to support a small shop will eliminate any guarantees offered by the manufacturer. Understand, I realize a small shop has limitations and must do what’s best for their bottom line. However, it was never communicated to me “hey if I order this guitar for you, it’s unreturnable.” The thought never crossed my mind to ask, since the item I ordered was a stock offering from Fender, nothing special or custom about it. It’s extremely surprising that a Fender dealer is not able to provide the same customer satisfaction policies that are in place by Fender themselves. Most of the guitars hanging on the walls are mid-tier or entry level guitars, so if you want something better, and you want the peace of mind to return it if you’re not happy with it, then I suggest looking elsewhere. If you need a great setup on your guitar, ReMix can do it.
We bought a guitar here for our son a couple weeks back. One guy was way too salesy and talked too much but I like supporting local so we bought one.
I will never deal with them again,
Went in looking for DJing equipment to start a new hobby. Got laughed at and was told this store is for real musicians. Went in thinking I could get advice and assistance on starting up a new hobby and instead got pushed out with no tips or advice to start this hobby. Defiantly taking my business elsewhere.
Paid Remix $135.00 to put a new but bad Fender neck on my guitar. I Sent the bad neck back to Fender. They said it was warped on the 10th fret. Fender replaced the neck. Now Remix tech want’s me to pay again to install new neck. He knew the first neck was bad when he worked on it. My opinion is not good for Remixes Fender tech. The advise their tech Andy gave me, was to find someone else to install the neck.
This is not the kind of attitude one would expect from anyone representing a company as reputable as Fender.
I’ve played Fender Telecasters for 50 years. Had a lot of them worked on.
Never have I been treated as as poorly or rudely as I was at Remix Music. I’m sorry to have to leave this less than favorable post. But this is the way it happened.
7. Music City
Address: 5121 Warden Rd Suite A1, North Little Rock, AR 72116 , Artieda , Arkansas , United States
They carry a variety of used and new musical products. A fun place to browse and talk music with good people!
Awesome place I’ve been in a few times just for a quick browse but today 4-22-23 I made my first purchase, I bought a new 5 string bass and a few other items and while waiting for my setup I learned some things from Bill I surly didn’t know he is very knowledgeable as is his wife and mark. I’ve always dealt with the corporate music stores but I won’t anymore give this store a chance you won’t go wrong.
Had a hard time trying any of the basses or bass amps….nothing was even plugged in…..had to run extension cords all over the place . Then the basses and amps were so crowded could not move to even try the gear out. Didn’t feel like rerunning power to the whole department to try any other amps out. Shame would have tried more gear out….but just wasn’t expecting to hook it all up myself. Sorry guys you lost a sale….take ten minutes plug In couple bass amps everyday instead of sitting out smoking…..dude you know who you are….you shut the door on my wife as you went back in after your cig break….seriously….Shame store has potential
Nice enough staff. Lots of good inventory.
It’s guitars what’s not to love. Good folks here.
Hate it I could not find a clarinet ,:(
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.
Bought a brand new acoustic guitar here after years of using this store for my musical needs. The guitar wasnt staying in tune and i noticed the intonation was a little off as well. I took it back 4 days later and they offered me 100 bucks for it. It was brand new and i spend 400 on it and bought a 150 dollar case as well. Thats not the way you treat repeat customers. I will never be returning to this store again.

I wish I could give an amazing picture right now but they are working on an 80 year old Coronet. They are taking it on and if they do as great as last time I hope to start learning to play it.
These guys know their stuff! Prices are reasonable if you want your instrument fixed properly.
Did excellent work on my old trombone, very nice people!
Very helpful and informative
I came in with a horn to have repairs done to it. I needed to have my saxophone’s neck recorked. I needed additional repairs, but above all needed the recorking. The repairman came up, looked at the instrument brand and said he could do nothing for me because if he broke something, he would have to make a part. I thanked him and walked out. I thought by the ratings that this would be a location with skilled craftsmen, but instead feel like it’s people prone to mistakes so they can only work on standard brands and not all instruments. I’d consider calling before coming. They are the only place around for quite a distance and driving over 60 miles to be treated like this felt very awful!
10. River Valley Music Center
Address: 407 N Arkansas Ave Suite 5C, Russellville, AR 72801 , Artieda , Arkansas , United States
Wonderful teachers very flexible schedules and I always feel at home being there!
Love the selection and staff here. Their selection of Aria classical guitars is lovely, and their prices are fantastic!!! Everyone whom I have had the pleasure of visiting with has always been a delight to talk with as well. Was first referred up here by Josh over at Hippie Palace. Stop in and check them out; you will be pleased you did
I’ve been by here twice to buy a guitar case and sign my kid up for lessons. First time they were closed (not a holiday) and the second time, they were open but no one was inside.
Arrived around 1:00p.m. and doors were locked but lights were on. Luckily there was a kitchen gear store across the hall with the sweetest ladies running it (seriously, give them a visit they’re so nice) killed about 30 minutes in there before waiting on the hall an additional 20. Dude showed up and unlocked the door, I got excited, then he turned off the lights and relocked the doors. I just wanted some guitar string and a string winder… So yeah, Valley Piano was great, just go there

12/23/22: Awesome little music shop. Variety of instruments with options to grow into so more. Very friendly staff as well.
Incredible place! The owners are very nice people, and the store is full of really amazing and interesting items! They have a great selection of musical instruments and fine jewelry!
My family and I have been there a couple of times to purchase a violin and guitar. We felt very comfortable and they were courteous and helpful. We will be back and do recommend this shop.
Was very dissatisfied to find out these guys aren’t honest people bought a guitar and case in there and it had only been took out of case to look at it still has tag I had receipt where I purchased it due to unforeseen circumstances I took it back in to sell back to him he was rude an only wanted to give me less than half what I had paid few months back it still has tags and I have receipt thought was pretty sorry not very honest he is a rip off I will tell everyone I know not to deal with them they are crooked like I said it still has tags and I got receipt I could have understood if it had been messed up but was just like I carried it out of the place then the jerk had the nerve to ask me to leave it there and see if he could sell for me I may not be very bright but not stupid I guess I was stupid for buying it there to start with
Brought in a basically new saxophone and he only offered me $150 when A brand new saxophone is $1000 no scratches no dents like do you know how to run a pawnshop??
12. Little Rock Violin Shop
Address: 316 E 11th St, Little Rock, AR 72202 , Artieda , Arkansas , United States
Has lots of great accessories and great prices too!
Attentive to the issues our son was having with his cello. Explained what procedure was needed to keep the cello in its best condition.
They were nice
I love that there’s a local place to have your stringed instruments adjusted and usually while you wait. My only complaint is that they charged me two different prices for the same service. My family is new to violin lessons and the instrument, so I can’t be absolutely sure that there was no difference…but there should be a uniform price for tuning/restringing a 1/4 sized violin. The staff is very courteous and informative. They also have a list of great string instrument instructors.
Unique violin shop
