Premium music shops of Dora: Our Top-7 selection

Highly recommend! Nick is a great music instructor and very knowledgeable in instrument repair. Great selection in accessories and instruments as well.

Nicholas is an exceptionally versatile musician and is extremely dedicated to the musical progression of his students!

If you’re looking for a professional music service in Northwest Alabama, look no further. Nick is knowledgeable, professional and is a fantastic instructor. He has the uncanny ability to listen to, understand and then focus on the goals of you, the student.

I have also taken several instruments to Nick to be worked on, from a string change to a full set up on a new instrument. He has also repaired several that I’ve been a little rough with.

All in all, whether you’re looking for a lesson or just want to find a new piece of gear, this is the place to go!

The music store had the banjo strings I needed.

If you are looking for a guitar, this place rocks. Quality stuff at a fair price. My son takes lessons now, and I hope to take bass lessons soon.

Super nice employees, fair and reasonable prices.

Awesome experience! Needed new strings on my banjo and they replace it quick!! Will be back again!

Friendly staff and good service for a small buisness . your go to place if you dont want to drive a 100 miles to Guitar Center store .

Nice small business. Very helpful.

Great inventory and excellent friendly service from a fellow named Ken. Very knowledgeable

I went in yesterday and asked about a Gretch open back banjo on the back wall that didn’t have a price tag. The reply I got from the bearded gent behind the counter was ” I don’t know, probably $300 or something”, and then he walked away like I didn’t exist. The vibe I got from him was “I dont want to help you. I won’t help you”. I buy a LOT of instruments and spend thousands of dollars per year on all sorts of music equipment, but this store has shown me that they don’t want my business and they aren’t interested in having any sort of customer care. I didn’t want to go to Guitar Center anymore, I would like to buy from a local store, but Guitars and More has discouraged me from doing any business with them. My advice to other customers is to go elsewhere. They don’t want your business and they don’t deserve your business.

The people are nice but the stuff you buy here is garbage.

This store is affiliated with the store of the same name in Gardendale and has some of the same, wonderfully helpful staff! Prices are what you might expect from a mom and pop but I’m happy to support locally owned businesses!

Eric is very helpful . nice folks

Me gusto esta tienda porque no tenemos que salir mas lejos aki ay de todo los instrumentos musicales

Went with friend he was very satisfied

Small store, parking lot is meager, have to back out into traffic. Reasonable prices, not a lot of merchandise in stock. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Great place to do business…cant beat Eric on customer service

Not a good experience at all, they have rescheduled my grandson twice, mind you we did not miss any sessions, they rescheduled us and then just took us off the schedule period. Carried my Grandson anyway thinking he was on schedule and Sage came in 10 minutes late and finished 5 minutes early…making it a 15 minute session instead of a 30 minute session as paid for. Spoke really negative to my Grandson and then refused any refund for missed sessions that THEY canceled. My Grandson loves everyone but does not want to go back, I’m saddened that because someone is a child that they are treated with less respect.

Great place. Have all your music needs. Karen will order if needed.

The definition of southern hospitality, they are knowledgeable and help you find what you need for your budget.

Great experience. This is a true treasure.

Large selection!! Beautiful instruments!!

Nice place. Good selection conveniently located.

It’s a standard small music store. There aren’t a lot of new high end instruments here, but they are all very nice folks.

I read reviews for this shop and thought it was an honest place to sell my gear. I walked in with an Epiphone AJ 220, with an Epiphone molded hardshell case I bought seperately, and an Epiphone “Snake Pit” 15w practice amp. ALL in like new condition. She plugged the guitar in and it was only the fourth time it had ever been plugged in. I never put the guitar in the case without wiping it down first. Look everything I listed up for yourself, and you’ll see what I lost. I messed up and let the lady know that I was in dire need of money for my family. The old guy asked where I bought it, and when I told him, he said he’d lost alot of business to “places like that”. No. I looked around the shop, and all he had was used gear that had been repaired and put up for sale. Junk. My guitar was the nicest instrument there! The reason he’s losing business is because he’s trying to sell junk and beating people in need out of what their instruments are worth. The lady acted like she was on Pawn Stars! If I hadn’t had needed the money really bad, I would have told her where she could stick her $200! That’s all they gave me for everything I brought in. Look up the items I listed, and you’ll see I did my part to support this business! The reviews I read must have been friends of theirs, because they definately misled me. Not fair at all.

Walked in today to look around and from the moment I walked in the door, the older gentleman (I guess the owner?) had his eye on me and was watching me like a hawk, made me feel unwelcome to be there. He asked if I was looking for anything in particular and when I told him very politely he didn’t have what I was looking for he arrogantly told me “I opened this store in 1973 and everything you see in the store is priced the same as you’d get it online” like ok bud I wasn’t complaining about the price you just don’t have what I was looking for. When I told him I wasn’t looking to buy today, and was just looking around he made a sarcastic comment about “well if you’re not buying, we can just put this back on the shelf” ??? I continued to walk around and look at some more product and he continued to watch me like a hawk until I got in my car and pulled out of the parking spot. All of my musician friends have recommended I don’t frequent this store, and I can honestly say, after that experience, I will not and will tell anyone that asks not to either. Lousy excuse for customer service.

yes

Nice, helpful, and Knowledgeable. My husband needed strings for an acoustic guitar that wouldn’t break because the ones he had all broke. The lady working suggested Para Digm strings and said they are break resistant so he bought them. We got home and changed all the strings and not one broke!! We will be going back… Thank you B&C !!!

Wide selection

Friendly local place and with high prices but a good selection and knowledgeable.

Nice folks

Over priced. Only good if you need to grab a pack of strings or something small last minute.

this place is burnt!

The people are not friendly, the merchandise is overpriced, some equipment is not even new (and it is damaged) although they don’t disclose that information, and getting around in a wheelchair is next to impossible. The lady at the register didn’t know anything about the equipment. It is definitely worth the drive to go somewhere else.

Awful place with cheap brands and overpriced / broken used instruments.

They were very friendly and willing to help us in any way possible!

I was looking for my son his first guitar and a small amp. I can say the person that helped us there was so patient and helpful with everything we needed. Did not mind taking down as many guitars as we needed to look at to make a good choice for a first guitar and told us everything we needed to know about each one. We will be back to this store when we are ready for another guitar or trombone as my son plays that also and who knows maybe some drums one day. Will take our instruments here for repairs also as you can tell the minute you walk in he door they care about you and music.
Thanks for a great experience. Anna and Noah Keeton.

Been in to buy strings, picks, and stuff several times. Prices are good and people are friendly and helpful.

I can never get ahold of them and the store is always closed every time I go there its locked and I’ve called multiple times. Left a voice message but yet no call back. Dont waste time trying to find this place.
