As a musician of 31 years, I’ve encountered numerous audio engineers. Craig, from Broken Road Recording Studios, is one of the best I’ve worked with. Craig has a vast musical background, and a true talent for production. The environment that is created, leaves you feeling comfortable, and stress free. With Craig’s background, production expertise, and high end equipment, you’ll leave with a professional studio recording that will be radio quality.
Craig and Broken Road Recording Studios played a key role in drum production on my band’s debut EP. He was great to consult with in regards to tones and the proper way to capture those tones. His personal experience as a musician and many years of production experience make him a major-league asset to any project! Save yourself the heartache of dealing with amateurs and reach out to BRRS – your project deserves the best.
Working with Craig Gatlin was a great pleasure, His understanding of music, producing & technology blew me away. He was such an important part of turning my original tunes & covers into reality. I’ve done 2 complete albums with Craig & would be delighted to do more….Highly recommend Broken Road.

The people in the store were very helpful and they were friendly. They were very knowledgeable about the music that I was looking for
Most helpful in-store sales staff ever! If they don’t have what you want music related, they will get. Just ask Debbie and she will take care of you!
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.

This place is very small and crowded with goods. Most of the things are for those who really want to rock out. Lots of amps and electronic equipment and electrified instruments. Very little acoustic. The photos you see on Google maps don’t quite represent as much what you see in the store because it looks from the pictures like there’s more acoustic than they’re actually is. But the staff seem to be very good at helping customers make decisions.
#accessibility accessibility is poor. There is a super steep ramp step to get into the store and then it’s crowded inside. My friend on crutches with a large service dog had a difficult time getting around inside. I had a small guide dog and found the quarters very cramped. I’m just mentioning this so that people will be aware. Next time I go in, I will leave my guide dog at home and use a white cane to navigate.
The vast majority of the store has everything for electric instruments. There’s a little teeny acoustic room in the back which is so small that you barely have enough room to turn around and certainly not enough room to change your mind. Again mentioning so the people know what to expect.
Great places to take your child to get a school band instrument.
This is one of only a handful of places in the River Valley you can buy instruments and accessories from. It’s a place I can drop in quickly for new strings or sticks. They offer some set-up/repair services from entry to intermediate difficulty. Keep to the kids close (or at the house), as various instruments and/or parts are laying around in some areas of the sales floor, making for somewhat treacherous terrain and unclear pricing. Staff are generally friendly and helpful, though you may have to approach them directly for help. I prefer this myself. Glad they’re 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.
