My son is a college music major and was looking for a 5 octave “practice piece” when we found the Monkman Studios website. I reached out to Jesse Monkman to inquire about the studio and the marimba, as at first it seemed “too good to be true”. My son’s marimba arrived last week and it is EVERYTHING promised! We were able to Facetime Jesse to ask questions, see and hear him play his marimba, and have him explain the different features. This is an investment, and trusting in someone you have just met was at first a bit intimidating. Jesse was very honest and transparent with all aspects of this process, and being mom, I would frequently email to check on progress and shipping (: Jesse was extremely patient and gracious, usually responding the next day! My son said the assembly instructions were clear and he was able to assemble alone. The look and sound is everything he hoped for, truly a beautifully and well built professional piece. I would highly recommend you reach out to Monkman Studios, an adjustable 5 octave marimba with resonators of this quality will not be found at this price! We have had a very positive experience…he even offers a student discount!

Great place with very reasonable prices. Friendly staff.
Very clean store!
Great store to shop
They have nice, affordable cards, just need to keep them organized.
Prices are ok & service is good.
I got everything I wanted quickly, The checkout had a short standing in line time. People who worked there were friendly.
why is this store taking up space. close’s when ever it feels like it , 2:30 today it closed. this place is a joke.. the only reason i gave it a star because you have to or you don’t post.
Convenient location. The problem is sometimes the prices that are marked on the shelves do not always match what the cashier rings in at the register.

Very nice record store! Neil was very informative and kind, quite interesting to talk to. There’s a variety of music, on a variety of formats. They had just what I was looking for, too! I’m very happy with my purchase. Rocking out to In The Air Tonight!
Cool place. Just opened. It’s nice to see a locally owned record store on Lookerman! Neil and Eric have done cool records with fair prices for vinyl. I look forward to seeing the selections over the upcoming weeks and months.

They always seem to have what you need, if not ask, they may place a special order for you. Great price and great staff.
I love coming here! The employees are so nice and funny. It’s a convenient store and more! It’s fun to look around and see all the unique things they sell!
The staff is so friendly! I go there just for them!
Nice shop with friendly and helpful staff. They had lots of CBD options and were very knowledgeable about the subject. They answered all of my questions without hesitation and were very honest with me. The prices were reasonable and they had a lot to offer. Very satisfied with my purchases from this location.
great place!
Nice place. Good prices. Decent people.
Great store most of the workers are helpful and friendly. If the white guy with the bald head and messed up teeth is working and talking football, you might as well leave and come back later or go somewhere else! He will leave you waiting for assistance for 20 min until he’s done talking. Very unprofessional. It’s called work not talk! This guy seriously put a strain on my relationship with this store and the good employees.
The clerk at the store tried to take my change after i cash out sports lottery ticket. He told me haven’t you heard of national shortage of coins? He was really rude about it. I told him I will give him the coins to run it off to the nearest dollar.. then he got really upset and said you know i didn’t have to take your ticket to cash out. Next minute i knew he went to the second register which he had a whole bunch of change and he gave ms the appropriate change. I believe this man is short changing pe ople with lottery tickets on purpose.

Excellent customer service persons up front, Matt and Nick. Great guys, very pleasant experience. The piano teacher Charlene, for my two girls, 7 and 9, is awesome. She is very patient, knowledgeable and kind. We love this place.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Clean, organized Store & Wonderful Staff.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I find their prices a little higher than elsewhere, but their location is convenient, and sometimes it’s just easier going into a store rather than dealing with another music store on the phone.
Mat was a great guy that works for you.Spent 4,500 this year already.
I would never recommend this place to anyone. It’s sad that the schools direct you to such a in trustful company. Please take advice and stay away from this place.
Went to purchase my 8 year old daughter piano lessons back in December and was told I needed to purchase a piano or she wouldn’t succeed in lessons. I explained she wasn’t even clear if this is something she wanted to peruse but just wanted to try it. The cashier wasn’t helpful and I went out hopeless. Fast forward to a little over 2 months and we found an excellent instructor who guided us toward a keyboard to practice and she absolutely loves it. A piano purchase is probably in the near future but I won’t be returning to this shop. Just to think, this visit to the store could of altered my daughters life had I gave up.
Signing up for lessons with this company is one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made. Their billing practices are extremely criminal. They continue to charge you after you have canceled services with them. They also bill you for holidays when their business was closed and you received no services. The representatives in the store and on the customer service line are no help with billing as they know nothing. You are billed money on a different date each month but never receive a statement for what you are being charged for. This company seems to be money hungry and filled with thieves. I would never recommend anyone doing business or taking lessons from this crooked company.

This store is useless why have a number if u can’t even answer the phone to ask a simple question wat waste this store is full of rude and lazy people that don’t want to work…..
Very dirty
They need to stock products better & quicker. Also they have a habit of pulling customers from the end of the line and never check with the customer who and the longest wait. Management can do better.

Great selection of CDs for my old school father in law.
Is the the place where I can find all the music CDs and DVDs. Great store.
They have a great selection in movies new and used dvdsets and figures but i wish there was more selections in cds if you are looking for new cds great oldskool hard to find but still a nice store and great deals and prices
Store is a bit disheveled, doesn’t really welcome you unless you’re there to buy a dvd you knew you were getting or a funko pop.
Good selection.
Always have those hard to find old movies I love.
My daughter went Christmas shopping there and came home upset. She said the male cashier told her to pick out a “free” magazine subscription when she checked out. She said she didn’t want it and he was insistent and kept telling her that she needed to pick a magazine for a free trial. She finally caved in and picked one, just so she could check out. She was clear that she didn’t want it, but the cahier would not ring up her stuff, and she was too naïve to demand to see a manager and tell them she was being harassed. When the “free” magazine arrived, I called the number on the notification card immediately and spent 20 minutes repeatedly telling an automated machine that I wanted to cancel before it finally let me cancel the subscription. Now I’ll also have to check my statement for several months to make sure the charges don’t “accidently” show up. Thanks for nothing FYE, I hope this business model is working for you. I would give it zero stars, but it won’t let me post lower than one star.
I just really find myself passing by this store more and more. Over the years, this became less of a pop culture store and more of a Weeaboo paradise. They always have the same Pop figure selection, and the same pocky/Ramone assortment. It’s like the store has a lot to offer but it seldom changes in variety. Really what kills the experience of coming in is the employees. There’s one guy who’s been there awhile (not sure if he still works there) who’s chill, but everyone else is always pushing that magazine subscription. I highly recommend only using cash if you do see something you like for sale. Because even if you say no to the magazine subscription, they seem to still take your card info and subscribe you anyway. And then you gotta call each magazine place to cancel.
And this is a recent experience, there’s a girl with dyed hair and piercings that works there and she’s rude to customers that don’t greet her. I walked in with my man and it wasn’t until Minutes of looking around before she greeted us with our backs turned. I said I was fine. And there was silence. And she rudely says,
“Oh, I’m fine thanks for asking.”
Like I know it’s the polite thing to do but seriously she works there, and I do apologize for my lapse of manners but we were already looking around.
Maybe the store just isn’t my thing anymore. Maybe it’s more teenager oriented now.
They have a great selection but the customer service is pretty bad.
Linda is patient and kind to “us older people” wanting to learn – her degree is in Music Education so she’s not just someone who knows how to play and decided to teach it – she knows HOW to teach it! Big difference!!
My so has been taking piano lessons at Keys2Ring for over two years. He had a hand injury when he was young and our therapist suggested playing the piano to keep his fingers nimble. Lessons were easy to schedule and he works at his own pace while still being held accountable. Mrs. Simms is constantly reinforcing all the core values that he is learning at home and school – it is a seemless fit.
Very unpleasant experience

Super nice staff, AMAZING deals, and adorable clothes!
A great place to shop for your entire home
I love this store. you always find interesting pieces and great quality clothing.
Quaint
Under new management and they are doing their best.
Very clean store! Cant get over how clean it was. I didnt find anything because it looked like more of it was for women and antiquers, but I’ll definitely come back to check in and see what’s new.
Just looked at the top item told us they couldn’t take the entire box because there was lint on a 1 jacket – She didn’t even bother to look through the box / there was a lot of good donations that I guess was not worth her time so I don’t suggest bringing your donations and wasting your time
I would not even give them a one star. I took various items to them on Saturday 11/07/2020. All of the clothing was name brand and in very good condition. The woman treated us like we were trash saying the clothing was garbage and could not be resold. It’s a shame all of the clothing was in very good condition. I believe she did not want to process us and rudely sent us on our way. Taking away much needed items for a person or persons less fortunate than us.
Owners talk down to their employees, heard it from multiple former employees

I highly recommend the Best buy in Dover my husband and I had stepped in there just out of curiosity to look at their laptops we needed one for our home business and the gentleman that we spoke to was so kind polite and knowledgeable and got me the exact item that I was looking for with better features at an awesome price! We got their geek squad protection plan and are looking forward to working with them in the future for other purchases!!
Why not
The staff was helpful informative but unless you were ready to buy the product there seems to be less interest.
We didn’t have any issues finding what we were looking for. Prices were on par with similar stores – physical and online. No employees in sight so we were able to shop in peace. Checkout line/flow made no sense.
Mi
I love going to bestbuy.
We went to the store on Tuesday, nobody even acknowledged we were there no less waited on us. No sales person at all
Today I am on hold so far for 19 minutes so far with nasty canned music.
I realize Best Buy is the only place left at which to purchase computers where there may be knowledgeable people, however politeness should also be a part of customer experience.
Am preparing a letter to management now…Totally unacceptable behavior by employees and management.
