From sourcing materials to critical design standards, Frank and his passion for guitars has reignited my interest in continuing to play. I’m no expert guitarist, but I’ve been able to hear a tone form even waves of sound from this little jumbo and it makes my soul happy. I highly recommend seeking Silvan Guitars the next time you are thinking about buying a stock/default guitar. Meet him and just listen to his demeanor and unbelievable access to wood across the world! You’ll be picking through options in no time.

Address: 1548 15th Ave, Columbus, GA 31901 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
I needed a barrel to fit my daughter’s clarinet. Mr. Baker took care of it in a timely manner and it was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Very knowledgable helpful staff. We will be back again.
A real live music store! Great experience!
Very friendly and helpful!
My granddaughter and I went in Saturday around 11:30. They were busy but we were greeted at the door with hello we will be with you shortly. Purchased some items for cleaning her trumpet. Courteous service and reasonable prices. We will be back for future purchases.

4. Blue Canary Records
Address: 1250 Broadway Suite B, Columbus, GA 31901 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
This place is amazing! Great selection and the owner was extremely friendly. If they don’t have what you’re looking for they will do their best to find it for you. Exactly what this town needs!
The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the owner who is incredibly helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy, and you’ll easily lose track of time exploring their extensive collection of CDs, cassettes, and vinyl records. The store is also dog-friendly. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can request it on the whiteboard.
Best record shop I’ve been too. Very cool owner.
A great place to find records, with a great selection. The mural and overall design of this shop is very appealing. I only have 2 complaints; priced at the counter and the prices in general. I understand that these issues may be ironed out in the future. Just for an example, I thought $5 for each single was bit much. I’d expect to pay between $1-$3.50 each. Plus singles are tedious to look through and play. I’m still very happy to see a record store open Columbus. Make sure to make a visit if you’re in the area.
5. POOKY MOVES MUSIC
Address: 4029 Oates Ave, Columbus, GA 31904 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
This is my absolute favorite shop. Not only are they great guys, they’re fantastic players who can recommend their brands based on personal experience. I learn something new every time I go in there.
Great place to get just about everything you need pertaining to music. Hats off to Tim the owner.
Love this place! The staff is very helpful and friendly and the prices are great.
Attentive
Super helpful. I didn’t buy anything this time and they didn’t treat me like any less of a customer. I’ll definitely be back to get my LP set up.
Super friendly employees. Thank all of you for being so nice.
Plays way too high for stuff like that
Ended up paying twice as much as quoted for replacement of one peg on bass. Paid for two when only one needed replacing.
It took 6 weeks just to change the bridge and put some new strings on. They said they would call and they didn’t. Went to pick up the guitar and it has a huge chunk taken out of the neck! I will not be bringing anything to this store nor will I send anyone their way.
8. Schwob Music Prep
Address: 900 Broadway, Columbus, GA 31901 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
I took piano there for about 6 years and it was a great experience, teachers have become family friends and it’s amazing. I’m now a piano major at a performing arts school, very successful. 🙂
Great instructors, great facilities, affordable tuition!
9. Everything Musical
Address: 2400 W Britt David Rd, Columbus, GA 31909 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
The staff made shopping here enjoyable while being helpful. The interaction I had with each was amazing and made my day great. Sincere customer service is so rare. Thanks Everything Musical.
Always a pleasure to visit. Over the years I have probably bought a dozen or more guitars from Gary at Everything Musical. I kind of have my eye on the Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster currently. I played on it for probably a half hour or so yesterday and it was an absolute blast. The whole staff there is always very knowledgeable and friendly. And I definitely refer all my friends there when they are in the market for an instrument or even just some good advice. Keith Edmonds.
The above was a previous review that I thought I had already posted. Anyway, today 6/28/22 I purchased another guitar from them. Still same great, friendly, knowledgeable staff.. This time I bought a Yamaha APX 600 acoustic electric. Thanks again guys . Keep up the good work. ke.
Very informative ..kind, considerate assistance..
It’s all Greek to me
Was able to get all the items we needed for my daughter to get new heads for her snare drum. The staff was friendly and helpful. They helped to assist us in finding exactly what we needed. Kind enough to double check the back inventory for our needs.
A Community Fixture For Decades..
Great service and selection of equipment
The store is overpriced, understocked, and forget about getting anybody that knows anything to help you. Also, forget about touching anything in the store. When you walk in, everything is barricaded in. I hope we get a real music store here soon so that I can shop in town instead on Amazon or at the Guitar Center in Montgomery and Atlanta.
Took my guitar for a set up, was told it was ready but it wasn’t. Neck saddle screws were loose, had pieces of old strings still stuck inside the lock insert blocks and definitely untuned. Took it the next day and this kid, acting like I don’t know what I’m talking about, gave me an attitude and still did a crappy job when I picked it up the next day. Never had a bad experience anywhere but here. Charged me $60 for a set up and couldn’t deliver. As for the rest of the store is, at best, average. Average prices, below average variety wise. You’d do better buying online or anywhere else.
Overpriced, No Customer Service, and No Selection. If I could give this no stars I would.
10. Loft Studio
Address: 1036 Broadway, Columbus, GA 31901 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
Excellent service and best price in Columbus. One of the phone numbers on the website doesn’t work. You have to use the cell. Accommodating, honest, and helpful. Very pleased with his work.
Great service!
Good luck trying to reach this guy or getting him to return your calls
Never returns calls
12. Youth Orchestra of Greater Columbus
Address: 900 Broadway, Columbus, GA 31901 , Columbus , Georgia , United States
The Youth Orchestra has provided me with great musical and community involving activities. The two orchestras and the many smaller ensembles have provided deeper insight into music and what it means to play with both friends and complete strangers. It is my last year of the currently running 6.5 year track with YOGC. I will hold the memories, friends, and knowledge associated with this organization and its noble cause for the rest of my life.
YOGC is a great organization and invests in the students of the local area. They work hard to ensure that the music learned is of many eras and difficulty. My son has been a member since his 6th grade year and now he’s in the 12th grade. This organization has played an important role in his continuing education and possible career paths. I suggest that you get your young musician in this great organization.

Very professional and informative. I would definitely come back. FACTS
Excellent Company. Great knowledge of the music industry. Armoni Records assembled a winning executive team that is going to really enhance their artists careers. Very informational website and blog that keeps up with today’s news and information pertaining to the music business and current events.
Very professional, courteous, and friendly staff. Fast and effective engineer and the booth is amazing. This is gonna be my new place to record my music. Easy environment.
can’t mix, don’t even bother trying here
Lackluster experience.
I called to inquire about prices and schedule and the woman who answered the phone was so rude, i will never be conducting business here. actin like your too busy and important to answer potential clients questions is not good business practice!!!
