Hey, I and a collection of preachers, musicians and singers always stop there on our way to PRISON to play and sing and share Gods love with the boys in Tucker. The staff are smart, working players. The prices are great. Area players swear by the place. When I’m on that side of the river, that’s where I Go. Once, they were out of a brand of strings for ms and gave me a FREE SET of equivalent to make up for it. THEY ARE GREAT
Nice staff who were eager to help out
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.
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
Interesting selection of mostly used gear. Friendly folks!
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.
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.
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.

Reviews
I was in the process of buying a guitar from lane and then saw the Google reviews which I was very alarmed by. I talked to lane and looked into it. The people who left the reviews are a group of girls in NY who never bought a guitar in their life. If you want the real reviews go to his business website or Facebook page.
I would give this place zero stars if I could. Lane is truly scum of the earth. Abuser is an understatement.
just called to ask about acoustics and he talked to me like i was completely incompetent. so disrespectful
you should never buy from this store or lane. he is a horrible person and lies about every product he sells. every thing i bought was broken and he refused to refund me.

Asked for a used guitar case and they brought out two ..one being the one my best friend LOVED! The energized and positive guy that works there was great!
Great service and have what you need
Quattlebaum Music Center is such a great place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and instructors. Our family purchased several instruments from them. We tried shopping at Guitar Center because of all the hype. They could not beat the selection or prices we found at Quattlebaum.
This is a long time local favorite. It’s a cool little music store. Good customer service. Has guitars, violin/fiddle, cello, bass, etc.
Small, quiet, local run music store. Good prices and owned by a knowledgeable friendly man who is happy to answer your questions. I’ll definitely be returning.
Friendly people, prices seem fair, selection was good.
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.
Very rude to my wife and all she did was ask a queston please don’t do business with these people we don’t need rude people in this town.

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!!
I absolutely love this store!! After having an awful experience at Olsen’s this is the only store I go to when I need something for my guitar. Unlike Olsen’s, the staff is so friendly and willing to help you with anything you need. After coming here I will not give my money to Olsen’s unless completely necessary. I love this great store!!
Super quick and knowledgeable! Got everything I needed to get my kiddo up and going with her new guitar!
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.

I’m on the road a lot, so I need dependable gear. Cousins remembers my different tunings, string gauges, and preferences. Beau listens to what you want and stands by his work.
Best place in NWA for all your instrument repair needs. Aaron is a grade A guy with a great local business.
Best guitar shop in Fort Smith
Good repair work

This shop always makes me feel at home. Brad really helped me pick the perfect acoustic fit to my liking while engaging me in some humorous conversation. I highly recommend checking these guys out!
Great!
Very knowledgeable, friendly folks!
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….
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!
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.
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.
Go to GUITAR CENTER instead (you can actually have FUN there).

Wonderful selection of instruments, accessories, and top notch repair. I love how the repair shop is honest about what needs done to your instrument and they even try to help you save money. Very kind and helpful owners!
Excellent service. Cooper Music has gone the extra mile for me in every interaction, from finding high-end instruments to coming through with a short-notice repair before a gig that evening. You won’t find service like that over the internet. Highly recommended.
Visite este lugar porque andaba en busca de una flauta y aqui la encontré
No good at all
12. Dorman Piano Co
Address: 21 Warnock Springs Rd, Magnolia, AR 71753 , Castejón de Valdejasa , Arkansas , United States
Friendly people, good vibes, excellent selections in all departments. Me and my girlfriend love their adult section, which frequently has plently of sales going. Also, as a Wiccan, it was very nice to find an area dedicated to alternative spirituality AND a clerk versed in the products available. Overall, I love this place and I truly hope whoever buys it will keep it the same.
Love this place. If u love good music and want the original cds n not the edited versions then this is the place to go. Also the only place like that in Pine Bluff.
I’m so glad they sales ticket, for the major attractions.
Good
It not all the names says. You would think they would have more records then anything else. And this is not a store to bring kids in to.
