The most honest, knowledge, helpful, and kind music guy you can find! He knows his and your stuff!
Perfect place for music lessons. Calm and very informative, my son is loving it.
Beautiful noise is the only place I’ve taken my instruments to be worked on in the last 20 years. Great work and affordable
I would like to give more Stars.however it is very small and only a handful of merchandise.they didn’t even have nylon strings.
Sry guys music store ? Not
2. Music Center
Address: 2809 W 28th Ave, Pine Bluff, AR 71603 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
This is the place! If they don’t have it they can get it, and they for sure know about it!
Just picked up my 1967 Hofner acoustic guitar from being restored. I couldn’t be happier. Lovely work. She sounds great, looks great. Great customer service.
Been using Palmer Music for years for lessons for my kids. Great teachers and excellent experience all around.
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!
My guitar was in for repairs for about 4 months. Almost no communication was provided about status of the repair work. It’s understandable with Covid making it difficult to have parts shipped, but the lack of adequate communication was uncomfortably disappointing. I don’t blame the young individual who was working on my guitar, but rather leadership who should have provided direction on appropriate and timely customer service communication. It doesn’t matter to me that it would have taken considerable time for repairs. But the lack of communication stating that due to a backlog in parts, and it was just a waiting game, would have been enough. A 30 second phone call every couple of weeks or so to advise a customer that no progress has been made is better than nothing…it would have been enough to have left my guitar there for months longer. The ironic thing about all this is that I really like the store and the people at Palmer Music, so I will most likely continue to purchase my music supplies from them and I hope my experience there was a one-off….
Usually busy because they’re good at what they do!
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.
4. Quattlebaum Music Center
Address: 101 W Arch Ave, Searcy, AR 72143 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
The service we had was great. He was very helpful and nice.
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.
Nice friendly staff
Nice store….for yyyyeeaaarrss!!!lol
Great home town store
They are selling stolen property.
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
Customer service was fantastic. Knew exactly what I wanted.
Great service and good people well supplied
Buea killed the setup on two of my guitars. Highly recommend his services. SEGA!
No selection…..the store is nearly empty.
Tax was a bit bunch but other than that it’s a great place to buy a washburn guitar.
Well it’s Guitar Center, if you have never been in one picture it as the Best Buy of guitars. No soul.
This one is a bit lacking compared to most in used equipment other than that, it’s just Guitar Center.
Dont get the pro coverage, it is a scam. They did not cover a midi keyboard with a broken key.
This place is a rip off scam artist they try to low-ball you on guitars worth 200 dollars and offer you 22 dollars.
Hard to find/choose a new pair of drum sticks when they are locked behind a counter and you have to ask a salesman to get them for you—makes no sense. Also, walked in and 2-3 salespeople all looked at me and said nothing. Not a great first impression of customer service.
7. Saied Music Co
Address: 2880 Point Cir, Fayetteville, AR 72704 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
I’ve bought two instruments for my daughter here. Quality instruments, fair prices, easy to do business with.
They have metronomes
Perfect place for valve oil, slide grease and stuff like that. They have somebody who speaks in spanish which is also a plus.
Everyone is easy to talk to and friendly. They carry a wide assortment of musical equipment. Typically geared for the student musician.
Rentals are a bit pricey, but instruments are very high quality, and I have never had any major problems.
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.
8. Arkansas Musicworks
Address: 2400 SE J St, Bentonville, AR 72712 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
Not a huge guitar shop but the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, atmosphere was great light and humourous loved it got what I needed played some guitars and left with good memories
There was a guy there and knew a lot about guitars and help me out with a old guitar I had he was very nice to me
mmm misic
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!
Case And bow is falling apart. I wouldn’t recommend musicworks to anybody. Complete rip off. I got a 15 inch viola and within a year I had to get rid of it, because it was poorly made.
They werent interested in helping enless you were buying brand new.
9. Valley Piano Co
Address: 3515 W Main St, Russellville, AR 72801 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
Such a friendly, helpful place. Reasonable prices, lots to look at.
Excellent Brands and Excellent service!! And can do special orders! (EMG Active Bass pickups!!..ThanX!!) They’ve been around here for awhile, very well established and trusted! Also one of the last real music stores to survive around here! Show’em some love!!
Always a great place to shop! Thanks for always being so helpful!
Great people, a very old store
I went into to buy a guitar. Very small selection
Lots of sheet music and DVDs but it is all on the computer today. Wonderful people. I wish them well!
My visit was to test the integrity of an electric guitar I had. Spoke to the guy behind the counter. (The one with the gray streaked goatee). Told him I was preparing to sell it via Facebook, and all I want to do is see if it sounds as it should. He said it was ok I was like great thanks. The buyer was from outta town and was shopping for guitar supplies. She had just bought amp still needed a cord possibly more. Asked her to meet up there since she was just down the road. She wanted to go in do to the rain. Instantly he started ranting that he’s a business man a professional and I was shady for what I had done. I was very polite. My reply ( I’m sorry I brought you a customer sure she meet up with me to buy a guitar for cheap but she still may need something) she was there for his childish act. ( she replied I do need a cord) He didn’t even bother to respond to her. He looks at me says someone smells bad like cigarettes… Wow 0 stars for your sir. Where’s your public relations at. Your welcome for that sell.
10. Little Rock Violin Shop
Address: 316 E 11th St, Little Rock, AR 72202 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
All staff has been informative and professional. They have quality products and there is a luthier in the shop. The staff will play the instruments for you so you can hear the sound intended for the instrument at expert verses novice experience.
I love this place!
These guys are very friendly and professional. I want take my violin anywhere else
Unique violin shop
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.
11. Shuffield Music Company
Address: 610 Main St, Arkadelphia, AR 71923 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
Great store with terrific stock and great customer service!
Always have what I need. Friendly
I bought a guitar from Paul online and I’m so happy to know it was a privately owned business.
Thanks Paul for the guitar and the excellent customer service. Hope to visit you one day!
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.
Rude
12. Palmer Violin Shop
Address: 1043 W Walnut St, Rogers, AR 72756 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
Very helpful and knowledgeable. I’m a violinist of +15yrs and they got what you need, even able to set me up with a salt n pepper bow
Awesome experience. I wasn’t oversold and the knowledge here is amazing. Highly recommend.
They help you eith tuning yoir instrument
I only logged on to ask if this music store sells or had violins for sale. Can anyone answer this for me ? This is the closest music store but also an hour away and I don’t want to drive there for no reason. So I’d appreciate if someone could give a response and lmk if they do have violins. If not then anything close to a violin such as a viola. Thank you. (:
Billing issues on return violin but was promptly corrected with great costumer service
Good rental prices
13. Independent Music Services Inc
Address: 9851 Brockington Rd #6, Sherwood, AR 72120 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
Went to find out the value of my flute. They were very nice and the dude had a cool mustache and beard lol. The other customers before me were also very happy with the deals they got on instrument repair. I do recommend this place.
Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Took excellent care of my daughters flute, went over regular and preventative care, and backs up their work with a warranty. I wish I had found this place sooner.
Did an incredible job on my flute. Excellence . Top notch work
Very helpful and informative
Did excellent work on my old trombone, very nice people!
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!
14. Music City
Address: 5121 Warden Rd Suite A1, North Little Rock, AR 72116 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
Great bunch of folks! Had a repair done recently, top notch
Great service over the phone. Short and sweet. Real helpful.
They did an incredible job with my dad’s 60 year old acoustic guitar.
This place had what I needed for my karaoke show. Great guy there as well.
Awesome place
Great people, over priced used stuff. Knowledge staff with understanding across most instruments. Some nice and not so nice used guitars in stock. BEM is part of the problem in this online society, people will come here to see things in person, then go to Musicians Friend to buy. Give it a try, but you will probably end up buying somewhere else. Jeff
Not enough inventory
I bought everything from guitar cases to a JBL top of line PA from them before I found out they are totally BOGUS! Sold me used merchandise as new, then got an attitude when I called them on it! Cuss me out when you’re a thiefing liar? I don’t think so! I wouldn’t buy a guitar pick from these people!!!
I bought a lot of things from Brent when the store sold instruments and amps and was always happy with them. Unfortunately, things have changed. I brought a guitar in that needed a rewire job. I was aware they were busy with festivals but they kept my guitar for 2 months and finally called and told me they didn’t have time to fix it. Needless to say, I wont be back.
16. Beautiful Noise Music
Address: 3205 E Race Ave, Searcy, AR 72143 , Bello , Arkansas , United States
It’s a good place! The person that owns it is a good man.
Keep it up
Terrible. Doesn’t listen to recommendations. I told him I wanted the neck of my les paul bolted on, but he insisted on glue. Because of him using glue, after two days of getting my guitar back, the neck came off. Terrible business. Definitely not worth the money paid.
