Amazing service, great selection! Wish I had stopped in sooner
Musicians exchange has been a staple for my own and many other musicians needs for many years. Always a friendly smile and professional advice.
Drove by & stopped because I’m new to the area and was looking for a music store. I’m a new drummer, so I was only curious about their drum supplies. Sadly, they had very little drum stuff, with only a handful of used cymbals for sale on display that I could try out.
The few drum sets they had were used, in bad condition & were stacked (not on stands or with heads on them). So, I was a bit disappointed.
Store looked a bit old, dirty & run down. The two guys working behind the counter were busy chatting with regular customers, but did welcome me when I entered the store. They were pleasant enough (which is why I gave 3 stars instead of 2). Wish they had more quality drum stuff to offer.
Great places to take your child to get a school band instrument.
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.
Hate it I could not find a clarinet ,:(
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.
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.

3. Quattlebaum Music Center
Address: 101 W Arch Ave, Searcy, AR 72143 , Comuna Vârfurile , Arkansas , United States
Reasonable prices and great selections and friendly atmosphere and employees.
Great inventory, prices ok. Customer service is not overly friendly.
I absolutely love this place. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Awesome place to get instruments, accessories and lessons as well as an awesome overall experience with the friendliness of the staff. I’ve been a repeat customer since we had to buy tapes in 1986.
Nice friendly staff
Went there today. He has some great deals and he does layaway 6 month layaway if needed
Very friendly and helpful. Really nice place .
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.
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.
4. Palmer Music Company
Address: 1131 Front St, Conway, AR 72032 , Comuna Vârfurile , Arkansas , United States
Friendly and knowledgeable. Went in for a guitar re-string and left with some new toys. Would recommend for shopping and service.
They rule!!
Excellent store. Visited from out of state and was happy to have landed there. Staff was esceptionally friendly and not super stuck up and uppity like a lot of places. I was in and out 3 days in a row before I made a purchase and they didn’t mind at all. Maybe I’m just that bored.. But maybe their store is just that nice. YOU be the judge!
Usually busy because they’re good at what they do!
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!
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….
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).
5. Shuffield Music Company
Address: 610 Main St, Arkadelphia, AR 71923 , Comuna Vârfurile , Arkansas , United States
A fine selection of various instruments, electronics and supplies for the professional songwriter or musician as well as the dreamers who mostly listen. Paul and the others are very knowledgeable on what is not-only in the store, but how to play it. If you want to take lessons to play an instrument, this is the place to go.
Great little music shop good selection of guitars awesome staff very friendly
Gotta enjoy this place. I mostly go for strings for my guitars, primarily D’addario, Dunlop, and Exlir, which they carry here. I’ve bought the handful of others, though: straps, picks, cables (Stagg, to be exact). All solid and worth it. Quality stuff here.
Great local music store. We have shopped here for years.
Not to bad
Rude
Good place to buy guitars, don’t ask them to fix anything you own uness you want it damaged.

I’m so glad to find a local music store. Excellent friendly affordable Let’s Play! Ty
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!
Visite este lugar porque andaba en busca de una flauta y aqui la encontré
No good at all
7. Remix Music
Address: 3855 Elm Springs Rd, Springdale, AR 72762 , Comuna Vârfurile , Arkansas , United States
Great little shop with a decent selection and knowledgeable staff.
The guys down at remix saved the day for my family and I! We were desperate to find a way of getting our son’s jaguar fixed and we only had two days to find someone. We went to guitar center because we didn’t know any better. Guitar center didn’t have any techs available, but suggested we check with Remix and I’m so so glad they did.
I called ReMix and spoke directly to Ron, the owner. He said he was available to look at it right away. We drove right over and were greeted by Ron, Dave and the rest. Immediately we felt the love and kindness in the space. Ron took the guitar and went to work and Dave spent time with my son showing him guitars and inviting him to play and teaching him little things while Ron was working. My son loved this shop, Ron opened the guitar fixed the issue and even took extra efforts to adjust another knob that was lose even without us asking.
We were In the shop for an hour, the whole time we were laughing and enjoying seeing our son enjoy the space. The team were helpful and kind. We bought a guitar stand and planned on paying who knows how much for the repair. Ron finished the repair and did t even charge us for it.
We will be lifelong customers!
Thank you Ron and the team for being a ray of Gods love today.
Been coming to this store as my shop of choice when buying new gear since 2015. Love this place, and the owner is just awesome. Cool story…
Back in 2016, when the shop was at their old location at the corner of Sunset and Gutensohn, I came in with the intention of picking out a new bass guitar. I’d never been in this shop before, but it was time to upgrade to a nicer bass so I thought “why not, it’s on my way home from work…”
I played several basses, and finally settled on one I liked. I told the owner that this was the one, and that I’d come back tomorrow to pick it up when I had cash on me. So the next day when I came in to buy it, I arrived to find that he had given it a professional setup totally for free. It played even better than when I decided it was the one for me. I never forgot that, and since then remix has been my shop of choice. Love you guys! Thanks for being exactly what the music scene of NWA needed!
We bought a guitar here for our son a couple weeks back. One guy was way too salesy and talked too much but I like supporting local so we bought one.
Friendly’s staff knows equipment.
Firstly, this shop provides great service on guitars, setups and string changes. But beware of purchasing a guitar that is not currently hanging on their shelf. For example, the Fender American Professional II Strat, comes in 9 different colors. If you want a color that isn’t hanging on their wall, they will offer to get it for you, but it will be considered a “special order” and not eligible to be returned. This is an odd policy since they are an authorized Fender dealer. If you order the guitar direct from Fender, or Sweetwater, or any other online retailer, the guitar is eligible for return no questions asked. So essentially, trying to support a small shop will eliminate any guarantees offered by the manufacturer. Understand, I realize a small shop has limitations and must do what’s best for their bottom line. However, it was never communicated to me “hey if I order this guitar for you, it’s unreturnable.” The thought never crossed my mind to ask, since the item I ordered was a stock offering from Fender, nothing special or custom about it. It’s extremely surprising that a Fender dealer is not able to provide the same customer satisfaction policies that are in place by Fender themselves. Most of the guitars hanging on the walls are mid-tier or entry level guitars, so if you want something better, and you want the peace of mind to return it if you’re not happy with it, then I suggest looking elsewhere. If you need a great setup on your guitar, ReMix can do it.
Love this place but couldn’t find what I was looking for.
I will never deal with them again,
Didn’t like the guy’s attitude or the prices. I probably won’t be back.

It’s a good place! The person that owns it is a good man.
Keep it up
Terrible. Doesn’t listen to recommendations. I told him I wanted the neck of my les paul bolted on, but he insisted on glue. Because of him using glue, after two days of getting my guitar back, the neck came off. Terrible business. Definitely not worth the money paid.
