Premium music shops of Mount Zion: Our Top-15 selection

Massive selection and great service! They had exactly what we needed and more!

I got a violin for my niece and it was perfect. Get customer service.

We went to get information on servicing and ended up having a great time looking at items in the store. The lady was very helpful and informative for our violin and guitar needs

Dark warehouse, but a lot to choose from. Worth a visit for local musicians!

No really friendly, but got what was needed.

Good for parts and accessories instruments are high .old strings on everything can’t tell how they sound with old strings.

Good selection. However lousy customer service. I bought a clarinet strap for my wife. It didn’t fit so I tried to return it for a refund. I had the receipt and had only bought it a couple of days before. Saleswoman was very rude. Refused to give me a refund for a lousy 7 dollars. “I’m sorry all I can give is store credit. That’s our policy.” Another way to say that I don’t care about my customers. I don’t buy a lot of music supplies. So store credit does me absolutely no good. So she lost any future business with me and I will tell any of my friends who are musicians to beware. If you buy something there you better be sure it’s right or kiss your money goodbye. I could understand if it was several hundred dollars. We are talking about 7 dollars.

Very unhappy and will not buy again

Bought a new microphone that didn’t work out of the box. They didn’t have a replacement and wouldn’t offer a refund or store credit. I’m currently compiling a list of people mistreated by this organization. So far, we’re prepared to post over 120 negative reviews. You should have done better music depot.

Called first to get a price to re-wire my guitar. Dropped guitar off and when I picked it up price was $15 more. Paid anyways and get home and same static noise was not fixed. Never did fix my guitar and charged me more than quoted. Stay away from this bad business!!!

What Foos said. Atleast they speak the truth and dont try to scam you into buying gear that’s not worth a damn. Personally these are the best guys around. For such a small store a huge variety of guitars, basses, ect they always have what I need!

Excelente

Had a good selection, very helpful service and generally seems like a cool store.

Awesome people knows what they are talking about and very friendly

Super nice dog and Kevin is OK too.

They sell new and pre-owned music equipment of every kind. They also offer repairs at a reasonable rate and do a good job. Never had to return any of the repaired equipment for a redo. They even sell local bands cds. So go check them out!! Not to many people know they are there and drive up to Jackson Music in D’ville. That’s what my husbands band was doing for 18 years! I would like to see them carry Atari low lying fog juice ( heavy fog, dissipates moderately. I need that right now.

They’re way overpriced, and they know it. But it doesn’t matter if you have money or not if they don’t like either going to snub you. Very very stick in the ashes, type atmosphere

Awful, awful, awful! The guys who work there are the most unprofessional, unhelpful, people I have ever met! They were extremely rude and just flat out deuchebags!

I’ll never, ever shop there again. Period.

I wouldn’t recommend them

Great DJ easy to deal with, best price in this area. Lots of lights and had all the songs everyone wanted. Cant wait till the next one!!

Excellent to work with! We booked him last minute and has quality equipment, and quick responses with questions. Couldnat have made our special day more of a breeze! Thanks Howard!

My heavens did West Ga Dj blow it out of the water at my wedding 6/3/23. He goes above and beyond!

Love this place! Always some great finds and the staff is super friendly!

Great place

Great selection and service. You can easily go broke here!

Kinda pricey, but very cool vinyl

Most music is sorted into sub-genres which can save you a lot of time if you know what you’re looking for.

This store has great potential yet they constantly ruin it by putting records out w/writing & sharpie coloring on lp jackets & asking $12.00- $22.00 for it!

or putting an lp out w/ NO COVER @ all & attempting to charge $9.00 for it, like the Alice Cooper lp pictured, I have repeatedly brought this to the attention of different clerks working, it is no mistake, A sad sad pracitice that is unacceptable.

On the other hand or + side, the store has a lot of new reissue albums that are comparatively priced to other record stores.
if you live in the area it’s worth visiting for that.
The store is very clean, & has a restroom available to customers.
The clerks are all friendly and nice.

The used records are absolutely overpriced and in rough condition mostly, most of the time there’s a lot of duplication in the stock, 5 or 6 copies of the Same album and again condition.

I understand stores must possess more than one copy of the Same album but usually the process involves choosing the best copy and putting it out for customers ( keeping back stock elsewhere) this store seems to just slap whatever they have out with a big price tag on it.
a little bit of attention could turn this place into a decent record store.

I have taken graffiti records to the cash register shown them to the clerks, brought it to their attention hoping they would do away with it, giving them the benefit of a doubt that it is an honest mistake, the clerk’s told me that they would “inform the owner” and take care of it, but when I go back to the store the graffiti albums are back out for public consumption.. this practice is a big turn-off for me and makes me not want to visit this store.

absolutely awful handling of RSD 2023. Guy in front of us bought multiple records and was literally reselling it at an upcharge in line behind us

Best place for music lessons in town.

An incredible opportunity to learn from one of the Premier Musicians to represent the state of Georgia. If you’re serious about learning music, David is your man!

Fantastic Staff! THE Best place to get a great musical education. Very knowledgeable and the recording studio is awesome!

Polar popz!!!!!!!

Great service very kind, and respectful, and overall very good food and coffee, definitely worth the price for such good and consistent experiences.

Great pink drink.

Always get the pike

Good place but not a typical star bucks where you get to sit and relax as this place is at the entrance of iglies super market and it’s crowded.

Granddaughters love this place

Quick and fast.

Need to change name to StarSucks, worst coffee Ever, also way over priced.

Anti-American. I did not go there and never will!

This location was way too dirty to order anything.

Very good prices on used gear. Many vintage items. A lot of inventory. Sales staff very helpful, and they know their stuff.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a wide variety of instruments and accessories to peruse. Also very fair trade in offers.

Just got a Roland FA06 from these guys. Called first, super helpful. Loving this keyboard. Condition is better than described!! THANKS GUYS.

If you have any old musical equipment that you’re trying to get rid of or even any new equipment you have in mind that you may need this is the spot to go too! Maaaaan when I walked in all you can say is “wow” check it out!

Good price. Good customer service

Awesome!! Geeat music shop. Good service by employers

Absolutely abysmal and highly unprofessional experience trying to buy an instrument here. I found an instrument I wanted on the store’s website, and I called immediately to enquire as to its availability. Being told it was still available, I asked if it was possible to hold it for a student of mine who would purchase it pending me as his teacher trying it out. I was told they could purchase it and have it held until I could try it.

The day I had planned to come to the store, I called to inform them of the time of my arrival. They said they could not find the instrument and said it might have been sold, only to later discover that someone had put the instrument in an area where it would be later sent to a repair shop prior to shipping to my student. Fair enough, I guess people make mistakes. I arrived at the store and confirmed that the instrument was in good condition and acceptable for my student. The instrument was slated to be sent out for minor repairs before being shipped to my student prior to the beginning of school starting this past week.

This week, when my student called to ask when the instrument was estimated to arrive, they told them that they had indeed then accidentally put the instrument back on the shelf and sold it to a secondary party, even though my student had already purchased the instrument. Incredible.

I have never witnessed such ineptitude at any store in my entire life. This is unacceptable, and the best I got from anyone over the course of this entire experience was a shrug of the shoulders.

AVOID THIS PLACE.

Guitar Center offers more for your used gear

I brought a Martin GPC15ME a few years ago and it was mainly kept in storage. This is an $1800 guitar brand new. I went to this newish Duluth location hoping to get $1000 minimum which is less than 60% of new cost. They offered me $750. Don’t go here if you have a gem. Find another place.

Nice shop, great relaxed atmosphere, very helpful and kind, happy with my purchase! Thanks

I have bought from this place many times and have taken lessons and I am happen without the service and the instructors have passion about what they teach.

One of the best places to get anything for your guitars or your music needs they also offer guitar lessons

This is a pretty good little store. I bought my guitar and amp here

Rip off.go elsewhere. I use to really like bringing my daughter here but they must be under new management. Prices have gotten ridiculous!!!

Always able to get what I need without taking a long time to get it.

Great in-house vocal coach

Friendly and helpful!

Knowledgable staff, who are helpful but not pushy. I have been getting music supplies from there for more than 10 years and not once have me or my family had an issue.

Great customer service at this place.

Great workers, with pretty decent prices. The selection could use significant improvement though. Overall a nice place.

Avoid like the plague. Absolutely rubbish. I will never set foot in this garbage store again. Rented an audio system that was buzzing. And changed me extra for an extension cable that there was no proof that it existed.

Went in to look for an acoustic guitar, amp and some cables. Employee with beard and glasses kept following me around but wasn’t saying anything. It felt weird so I left.

Very unhappy with the service on a product exchange. Came into the store this morning and made a purchase very possibly a four-star transaction. They were very helpful the sales guy that helped us initially. But upon returning to the store to exchange after realizing that the wrong mic cord was purchased the customer service received from the manager was very inappropriate. The salesman that sold us the cord initially apologized that he assumed that we needed the cord that he sold us the first time. So he apologized and went back to get the manager to do the exchange. The manager was clearly disgusted with us because we wanted to exchange the cord that was only two dollars difference in price. We even said that he could keep the change. He was typing on the keyboard very hard and just looking at us and like he didn’t want to be bothered and basically threw the original receipt back at us. Maybe he was having a bad day. He made a comment to the salesman about another customer in the store who was playing a guitar saying “why is he even here?” The salesman said he didn’t know. So maybe the manager was having a bad day.I don’t know but don’t take it out on your customers. I surely will not be back.

Just left there! Great service. They are amazing.

Nice local music store. The staff are very nice and knowledgeable.

Came in looking for a student trumpet for my daughter. Taylor explained the difference between different types and answered all my questions. Walked out of the store with a brand new trumpet at a price that was competitive against online retailers AND I didn’t have to wait for it to be shipped/damaged in the mail. Thanks!

Ken Stanton Music is the hometown brand. It is apparently one legitimate alternative to Guitar Center and Sam Ash. I stopped by the store recently and had a pleasant experience.

From the exterior, you can tell that the store won’t have a massive selection. It’s a smaller store, but still worth checking out. You could always find a gem. I found a pretty reasonably priced Gibson ES-Les Paul that I’m strongly considering.

I worked with Ben during my time in the store, and he was terrific. The store didn’t carry a White Falcon or a Martin D35, but he found that other Ken Stanton locations carried them and offered to have them delivered to the Stone Mountain location.

There’s a lot to consider when investing in expensive instruments and gear. As it currently stands, I wouldn’t mind buying from Ben at Ken Stanton.

They’re very nice and respectful and helpful

Polite service.

Yo tuve una mala experiencia, compre dos bocinas turbosound, una estaba mala y no quisieron cambiarla, pagué dinero extra para que la arreglaran, acaso la tienda no te da garantía? Jamás vuelvo a comprar en esa tienda, ya llevan dos meses que no me arreglan la bocina.

I had one of the worst customer service experience dealing with Scott in this store than I have experienced in a long time . At first his unprofessionalism upset me .After I left and thought about it, it made me sad that a person would think it is ok to treat another person in such a way.

I was denied for rental because I was staying a relative. Instead of giving me options for me to see what I can do….he just said no with accept your application
