Got an electric guitar and amp, ukulele and lessons for my kids today – such good , personable and easy service, and reasonable price, thank you! Their price is the same as amazon, so please support the local business! I also rent violin from them for my daughter’s class in school, great service. Highly recommended!
I picked up my Godin guitar today, and the neck was unplayable on the upper strings. I was frantic. I called my friends at New Canaan Music and thank God Al answered the phone. He knows a great deal about guitars and is always more than kind and capable. NCMusic has NEVER let me down. All guitars have issues with weather and staying in tune and working well for performers. I have a big gig coming up and usually do have something musical going on. I need to rely on my guitar to play well and not have issues. They fixed it so fast and I brought it home, Yeah !!!
I brought my Martin in for repair about a month ago, and they did a great job on redoing the top which cracked due to several weather and humidity factors. They also made sure the neck was good .
At any rate, I feel so blessed to have a relationship with this great place, with so many great people who work there and really love music, guitars, and their clients. You can tell when people work with you from love and these guys are the best ever. Thank YOU NEW CANAAN MUSIC !!!!! I am so lucky to have you, and I know it!!!
I brought a lovely fender acoustic guitar at New Canaan Music. I can’t say enough about the kind ,helpful service from Phil ,the owner and especially Clare who did an amazing set up as well as adjusting the action to my preference. She is so knowledgeable and was so helpful and accommodating with this new guitar. Thank You Clare and Phil.
Very attentive knowledgeable staff, comfortable setting.

Our 13 year old son has been taking private saxophone lessons at ” The Music Shop” for over 4 years, starting with Leo Liddle. Keith Wilson, a very talented musician took over as his teacher and we love his dedication and perseverance to help expand our son’s musical knowledge with the sax, while also making it fun. The expansion of his new location makes the updated atmosphere a wonderful learning environment, and also has great on site repair service.
Throughout the years I have purchased guitars,and Equitment,. We miss Leo. He was the music teacher at Lewis S Mills High School in the 70’s. To ?. I graduated in 72. Great music shop. Get just about anything musical.
Keith took great care of me! I’m a beginner guitar player and broke one of my strings, had no clue what to do. I purchased the strings there and he taught me how to put them on right in the store. He even tuned my guitar, and gave me some tips to keep it maintained. Service like that is RARELY found. TY Keith!!

Great, enthusiastic owner. Our son loves the guitar lessons he has taken here.
Went there to pick up a guitar amp I saw on the Facebook marketplace they had for sale. I met with Frank and he helped me while Sam was doing lessons. They brought out the amp I was looking to buy and Frank played a guitar and tested out all the settings. Everything worked and the amp sounded great. I purchased the amp and a new set of strings for my guitar. I talked with Frank more and he was very friendly and asked me about myself and what music I play and listen to. He gave me one of their business cards if I wanted to schedule a lesson since I mentioned I was getting back into playing guitar after not playing for a while. I would definitely recommend Mad River Music! My first experience there I felt very welcomed and comfortable. I will definitely be supporting this father and son music store. I don’t need to drive so far to go to guitar center for what I need and pay an insane marked up price for things anymore. Please support Mad River Music and support local small family owned businesses!
Awesome guys , Frank and Sam
This place broke my guitar and tried to say it was already broken when I brought it in. poor customer service!!Ipaid them to break my guitar basically.i wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there.i couldnt even get an apology. I would recommend going anywhere but there.dont have them fix your instruments. They sell knockoff used guitars,definitely not like other places I’ve been to.its like going to a used junk tag sale.very unprofessional.go to George’s music,or the music shop in torrington where you can expect quality workmanship and honesty.
Horrible, I walked in to buy a guitar and he was beyond rude
