Bought a beautiful Loar LM-600 from Clarinda. Great set up, great playing mandolin and a great price.
Well now Clarinda is the gal to do business with and maybe learn a thing or two about that special instrument you’ve been looking for. Even if you’re not player. Yet.
Inspiration is where it all starts. You’ll need a quality instrument that is comfortable to you ear and to wear. Because after all, that instrument you’re wearing is a part of you. Linked right to your heart. That’s it. Music.
Clarinda has good taste. Her selection of instruments are about the best values you’ll find. Value. Clarinda’s knowledge of selection. An instrument you’ll look forward to playing. Her personal attention to detail makes all the difference.
I bought 1 Loar LM-700-VS mandolin from Clarinda. I wanted a pick up installed. No problem. Done. I also bought an original version stock Loar LM-700-VS. Plugged in or not these mandolins are top notch! Will knock down your doors and the dogs will come runnin’ in! So to speak… couldn’t be happier. – Steve Kletzel – In Portland Oregon
Bought an excellent sounding, sweet mandolin from Clarinda at a very reasonable price.

GREAT customer service, they didn’t have a tuba in store but they were able to get one from another store and have it brought to the store in NLR, I really appreciate their helpfulness as well as kindness.
Great little shop. They have a little bit of everything and if they don’t have it they can get it. Plus extra kudos for giving us a discount for warning a mask!
Nice, clean store with nice stuff. A helpful staff that watch u coming in and out. Slightly high priced, but good quality merchandise.
Good for new strings but a small selection of equipment.
Good variety. Little bit of everything
Not very much guitar stuff. Didn’t even have strap studs.
The absolute worst store ive ever been in will not be back
A few months ago, I visited Saied Music’s North Little Rock location to look into used flutes (online flutes are too hit-or-miss, I discovered, so I wanted to be able to try one before buying). Not wanting to spend a small fortune on an instrument I wasn’t sure I’d stick with, I figured used would be a safe bet.
The gentleman who was working that day showed me a Jupiter flute that had a price tag of $380 or $385 (I just distinctly remember it being in the $380 range). It had a head joint with a gold-plated lip plate that I found rather garish, but for the price, I was willing to consider it once I tried it and realized it played fairly easily. So, I went home to think on it, but I ultimately put off getting a flute for awhile.
Yesterday, I returned, and lo and behold, they had the same flute still in stock. However, this time a different guy brought it out, and the price had been removed, leaving only a partial green tag with some text on it. The man made a fairly loud show of talking to the other guy, who had originally showed it to me the first time I saw it, saying that, since it had a green tag, he could sell it for below the “book price.” He thumbed through a binder, ran his finger down a list of prices, and landed on $480. Then, he quoted me $450, saying that price was $30 below list.
I immediately thought of the scene in Legally Blonde when the clothing boutique worker pulls a tag off a dress from last season and tries to sell it to Elle for a huge mark-up, believing her to be too uninformed to know any better.
I closed the case without taking another look, then left the store without saying another word.
I lost all trust in Saied Music in that instant, and I will not return.

Daughter went to buy a bass case, she could not stop talking about the great service and selection!
Impressively stocked, awesome customer service, beautifully maintained older building. I will definitely be returning.
When you walk in the door you get this warm fuzzy feeling.
This is a long time local favorite. It’s a cool little music store. Good customer service. Has guitars, violin/fiddle, cello, bass, etc.
Went there today. He has some great deals and he does layaway 6 month layaway if needed
Decent selection for a smaller store. Good prices! I’ve bought and rented equipment from them for years. Friendly service!!
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

Super-friendly and helpful, well-stocked, good prices, WIll go there again and again.
Best place I have been In my life. The employees are really nice and actually have a soul unlike other places.
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.
It’s good quality music and instrument accessories but their a little costly
They had the components I needed and were very helpful.
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.

Great gear at great prices. We’re lucky to have a local music store like this that also sells world wide.
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 here, it is a pleasure to deal with Paul he is a kind hearted person and eager to help, he also is a great musician and knows his way around the guitar.
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.
