This place has awesome customer service. With the 30 warranty on all guitars on any issue without question or hesitation they will fix it. This place is refreshing and I for one am very happy and thankful to have a music store like this. I highly recommend going here for all music needs.

I remember your Christmas store at the Mall always used to eye the Bass in the box and now i am playing that a Jazz Bass i bought i am now in Tennessee so thanks for helping with my dreams

In the late 90s early 2000’s this was an awesome store. Used CD’s, Ppl who loved to talk about old bands and music culture, It was different. Mind you, they still have great instrument selection, and fair prices for a small business. Some staff is decent, some have the personality of a week old gym sock. I’d say if your local, pick up your kids first instrument there and support local small business. Idk if the lead dude from x-crush still works there, but he was awesome. but it’s a lottery.

Love going there and stuff but idk if it was one of the employees or just a customer, but this older guy walked up to me and my friend and made a really rude comment about our colored hair “did you wake up late at a party or something?” How the actual heck would anyone think that is an ok thing to say?????
That was one of my favorite music stores to go to and now I’m not so sure, if it were an employee who sayid that. I’m pretty sure it was because he walked to the back after that. If you have colored hair and you take hate comments too seriously, be careful.

So you want to call on the dude behind me in line and not even greet me or tell me to have a nice day? Poor way to run a business. The old white guy at the front is rude and inconsiderate. He chose to serve the man behind me in line, likely because I’m a woman, so congrats on losing not only my 42$ purchase I got refunded today; but all future purchases from my multi instrumentalist husband that has been a customer here for over 6 years. I’ll buy from Amazon before giving my money to rude old men. Do better. Hope it was worth it for that dudes 12 dollars worth of strings.

My family came in just a few minutes ago and they were very ride to us. My boyfriend, who is normally a very strong person, just walked out of this place in tears because they made him feel embarrassed. Smh. Rude rude employees who act like musical elites.

I have been taking guitar lessons with Chris K Music for over 2 years now. I can truly say I have been very happy with the results. I can play and sing plenty of songs. He teaches and lets you use your own creativity at the same time. I really appreciate that. He makes it fun! I look forward to each lesson. Thanks Chris!

Chris is WONDERFUL! My son has some special needs and has been taking drum lessons for almost 2 years. Chris is patient and kind and my son looks forward every week to going to lessons!

Fantastic people. Extremely knowledgeable. I had a complicated neck reset done on my acoustic guitar and it turned out perfect.

The staff is always friendly and helpful! We have 4 kiddos in band and we can find everything we need here or they can get it quickly! They are quick with repairs (if needed) hands down the best place for your music needs!
We have gotten 2 french horns, a clarinet, and just today an alto sax! They offer the top rated brands very affordably!

Awsome place to get your insterments at no matter what you play.

Bought mixer and the Employee went out of his way to find some used XLR Cable’s with 1/4 in male ends.

Helped us get what we needed

Really nice people, family owned and operated.

I brought a saxophone in to have cork replaced on the neck. The job was mediocre at best. I redid it myself

I like Jordon but hes always to busy to get to my stuff needs to hire help

Friendly and knowledgeable staff took care of a difficult problem with little info. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Love this place!

Great staff and great prices! They also have a brand new Lesson Studio with a great selection of teachers.

It’s a good place for renting and buying instruments. They repair and provide loaner instruments.

Nice staff, wonderful selection, higher end of the usual price range though.

Last time I came in here I had an employee make fun of me/my instrument because it wasn’t high end (which I knew). Now that I work on my own instruments I know better than to put up with snobby musicians like the one I dealt with here. Three stars because I can’t condemn the entire establishment because of one or two rude employees.

I went in to have my saxophone serviced. The saxophone I play is pretty nice. I mentioned that I played it in marching band and the woman belittled me for playing a nice instrument in marching band. Sorry I don’t have an unlimited supply of saxophones.

Absolutely the most unprofessional shop around ! Straight garbage

Looked at stuff for over 20 minutes without getting attention of any staff members on a very slow day. I literally was carrying a list of items I needed. Prices were way out of line. Selection was slightly better than Guitar Center.

Great store. Super cool employees.

Great music store for you instrumental needs, took my electric guitar in took a couple weeks to get back but worth the wait they did a great job at a reasonable price… I will definitely use them in the future…

I go here for guitar lessons every week, and even though I’m 12, the staff is very kind to me. I also go there to buy supplies for my saxophone, like reeds and books. I enjoy visiting Linda’s music store every week.

Awesome selection. Thanks

Ordered some parts for my 1997 Fender Standard Stratocaster and they came to me in a timely manner.
