What can I say about this place….. it’s like walking in a music store back in the day when we actually got excited about getting physical copies of our favorite artists…. highly recommended. Owner was super helpful and nice. They have so much cool stuff❤
They have a very good selection of vinyl &c d’s I would say the selection is organized very well by artist someone on the pricier end but very good quality records
Old school, nostalgic vinyls and all kinds of recorded music. If you love Rock and Roll from the 70’s and 80’s it is a must stop.
Nice record store, good selection of new records and cds. The staff I’ve met here are always friendly. Good local spot.
Never received one of the 2x records I pre-ordered from here. Emailed them after the release twice and did not hear back. I had to call them only to be told to “call back in 10 minutes.” The person who handled the phone call basically complained about the online website (don’t take online orders then?) and said they would get back to me. Meanwhile I asked to just refund the purchase since the record was limited release and I wanted to order it @ a vendor who has it in stock. Never heard back from Exile, and I ordered it before it completely sold out everywhere. They don’t reply to email, don’t seem to call back and don’t care. Please refund my $34.98 you kept from a pre order you never fulfilled. I usually try to buy stuff locally when possible but I will 100% never come here again.
Here at 20after 4and they are closed web site said open
The don’t carry a lot of country which is fine and told me they could order something for me and get it the Thursday before Christmas. (I went in the week prior to that). I said ok gave my name and phone number for the order and left. I called the Saturday after it was supposed to arrive to confirm I could pick it up and was told oh sorry we couldn’t get it. It was supposed to be a Christmas present and they knew that when I went in asking. I can’t find it anywhere to get it in time for Christmas now. A courtesy call to say we couldn’t get the record would have been appreciated seeing how I could have ordered it on amazon and had it in time but wanted to support a local business instead. Guess I learned my lesson.

Great store,very clean and the help are very personable keep up great job.
Clean store and friendly employees
I shop there all the time the staff is very helpful prices are great and even if they don’t know something and you do they let you contribute and help other customers very nice atmosphere a welcome change. Also the manager is always always working and in the store and she is very friendly and helpful they should definitely give that girl a raise because she works harder than anyone at any establishment I’ve ever seen, she goes above and beyond her duties to make sure the store is at its best 24/7.
Lots of good prices
Good deals
There are about a dozen items, i.e. napkins/paper towels, soap, shaving cream, aspirin, etc. that I will always buy there. These items are just always less expensive then other places.
Meh, nothing special grumpy workers act like they don’t want to be there…
The price more that dollar..
I will never go again. Today at 200 the girl was on the phone with whoever loud with a line of people!!! RUDE!!!!
Lily performed at cocktail hour event and her vocals and guitar performance were amazing! She was extremely flexible and easy to work with. I highly recommend Lily for all your entertaining needs!

My son Hari has been learning to play guitar from Shoreline School of Art and Music and he really loves it. I have seen him get better and better at playing guitar. He is very happy with his teacher. I am glad we choose Shoreline School of Art and Music in Branford!!!
I was hesitant to take music lessons because I had never played an instrument before. After long thought, I decided to try this school, and I’m glad I did! Thanks to Richard, who is an amazing teacher, I have learned how to play piano. He’s thoughtful, kind, and understanding. What I like the most is that the program is personalized and designed based on my needs. I look forward to every lesson. It is the best part of my week!
Mr. and Mrs. Milgram have a gentle way of conveying love for music and art to children. Both of my kids enjoy their lessons and make new progress every week.
6. Goldie & Libro Music Center
Address: 380 Washington Ave #1, North Haven, CT 06473 , North Branford , Connecticut , United States
Brought in a used Gemeinhardt flute that I bought on eBay. Jack and Andrew were very honest about what could be done for it…Andrew did a great job taking it apart, cleaning it, not a full repad (which would not have been cost effective) but he redid/patched the pads that were causing leaks. Andrew also spent about half an hour when I picked it up explaining everything he did, how to clean flute, etc. Flute sounds great! I can get notes that I was not able to produce when I first got it. I think I made a good investment, for what I ended up paying!
Great customer service.
For any musician (beginner, intermediate or professional) needing to purchase, service or lead about music, Goldie and Libro is the only music store to go to in the state. The dedicated staff members take the time to learn and support their customers with their musical endeavors big or small. They are experts in repairs and servicing instruments with decades of music knowledge. When I needed to get my 10 year old trumpet serviced, there was only one place I would take it: Goldie & Libro.
Steer clear of this place!
They were supposed to call me with the cost of the repairs to see if I would authorized them. It took them 12 days to call me back and tell me that they have repaired the instrument. They made repairs WITHOUT authorization, then I had no choice but to pay for the work. The service was terrible, it took too long, they went ahead without my authorization and I got stock with the bill.
If possible, will NEVER again do business with this place. I am already giving my business to the “Music Center” near by.
I had a few questions so I called this place. The jackass who answered the phone, I’m assuming is the owner. Made me feel stupid and discouraged me from trying to play the instrument I was inquiring about.
They were absolutely no help. Don’t waste your time.

I needed some quick editing and they turned it around over a weekend. Not only was the turnaround time amazing, they nailed the edits! Highly recommended.
Amazing studio. Got some work done with Dan. Definitely building with SoundLoft. Only the beginning for me.
I been recording at Soundloft for 3 yrs and its the best studio in CT, great engineers & safe clean environment. If you want your sound to bump come to Soundloft, let em know Wae sent you
Cozy
Very Poor attitudes Said I was asking for refund after session asked me to start paying cash which they only allow credit or debit
9. The Voices of Audio Artisan LLC
Address: 4 Pinewood Rd, Branford, CT 06405 , North Branford , Connecticut , United States
This place seems to never be open. What kind of antique shop has by appointment days. Even on a day where I could shop freely, there was nobody inside, the door was locked, and when I called nobody picked up. These people obviously don’t care and aren’t bothered with any customer. Don’t bother coming here, they probably aren’t open if you do.
Stopped in during holidays, looking for certain items. Clerk couldnt be bothered with me, even though i was the only customer in the store. Very crowded and disorganized… and dusty!
Just like the other reviews, they don’t answer phone, have no phone message, and are never there! However… when you finally get in, (only happened once) you feel like it’s an inconvenience to ask questions. Its not welcoming at all. I would say they sell more used furniture, than antiques. Perhaps they sell business to business cuz they don’t seem to want to sell anything to the general public.
13. Charles Magby Fine Violins Ltd
Address: 948 Moose Hill Rd, Guilford, CT 06437 , North Branford , Connecticut , United States
He is an expert Luthier with a lifetime of experience. He was able to adjust and tune my daughter’s cello (which before we sent it to him, we would nickname it “FireWood”). He made it sound so much better. We now have to come up with a better name for her cello.
He is a master craftsman.
I was trying everybody to restore the sound my violin once had but Charles was the only one who finally succeeded. I’ve since seen him make many other instruments sound far better than their owners ever thought possible. He explains things carefully and clearly, never any pressure and never charges more than he says he will or cuts any corners. Every instrument and bow he’s ever showed me for sale has been identified accurately and certified when appropriate and any condition issues are disclosed immediately. He has demonstrated his honesty and skill repeatedly. Highly recommended.
