Fantastic teachers, schooled in a variety of instruments.
Very enthusiastic you can tell the people there are very passionate about their love for music
Great customer service! I messed up my guitar trying to string it myself for the first time. I don’t know who at Melody Mart serviced it since my husband was the one who brought it in, but the man adjusted it free of charge!
It’s a good place to get your kids to start learning how to play an instrument.
Very rude staff. I approached the counter and asked if I could complete the online registration for music lessons in person. The staff member spoke very rudely to me. When I notified this person of his unprofessional attitude, he told me I had “interrupted [him] while he was doing something important for a customer”. I told him he was so rude that I probably wouldn’t even sign up for the lessons. He responded “fine” and took the paper with my information on it, balled it up and threw it down onto the floor directly in front of me before turning his back to me while I was speaking. Meanwhile, a second staff member stood by watching and smiling. If you enjoy being disrespected, this place will be perfect for you.
** Thank you for your response, Melody Mart. There is no misunderstanding. Don’t backpedal now, keep your same energy as you displayed in person. There were NO customers at the counter and you asked “How may I help you?”. Your unprofessional behavior from that moment forward was totally inappropriate and out of proportion for the situation. Not sure how you can justify throwing a customer’s information onto the floor. Keep your services. I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Parking is terrible. Some of the instructors are not very good, but a few are..kinds a gamble for your money..no refunds on missed lessons…instructors and staff will tell you anything to get your money oh did o mention terrible parking …make sure you have your walking shoes on

Worth the hike!
Tone gets it right. Beautiful furniture too.
Rare tunes and retro furnishings @ great prices…
Loved it
I don’t go in there much but my son-in-law loves going in there, so I always get him a lot of gift certificates
Love the store and picked up a couple really nice albums today. But when a customer inquires about an “insignificant” $5 record on your sell site, there’s no reason to not respond when you’re aware of the inquiry or to be dismissive. It was listed to sell it.
Went looking for a record shop as my son has taken an interest in vinyl. It’s fairly close being in Flossmoor. Went in, and it looks like they were still moving in with U-Haul boxes full of records everywhere in the front of the store. However, they have been here awhile, so I guess they just keep some stuff in boxes until room opens up to display them. They have room to display way more records but chose to be a furniture store as well. Almost everything in the store that you could possibly sit on has a do not sit tag on it, as it’s for sale. The one chair, a plastic 1 person stool, that had no tag on it, i sat on, then the owner said you cant sit on that, its for sale The prices for the furniture make me think the furniture there will become antiques in the store like the vinyl. They have record players and reel to reel equipment, selling for high dollars but with problems. The vinyl is overpriced for Condition as well. My son found a record and a case to keep his vinyl in, used, glfor $75. Hardly a deal. Seller wouldn’t budge off $65 for the used case in ok Condition. If it was me, I would have left it right where it sat, but he wanted it bad enough, I got it for him. There are definitely stores more reasonable than this, and the only reason I can guess for his pricing, must be high rent here.
