Great service we got there right before closing but the gentleman helped my daughter and explained a lot of stuff about her violin. Very kind and didn’t rush us out so he could close
I.say they get an A in my book
Great music store
A little story. Heading back from Seattle to eastern Idaho last week. Notice half way home I stupidly left my harmonica case in Seattle. Was feeling a bit disappointed, because I needed to do a little recording that evening with the band. Drove into Ontario for lunch and gas and saw Dorsey Music. Was very impressed with the owner. He did what he could help me get the harps I needed at a price I could afford. As a musician, I love to find music stores that are out to help us, and not just trying to make as much as they can off of us. Thanks again
Great customer service
Great staff and good selection. Nuff said.
Pricey
I went to them to get an old drum set i had repaired and workable. I told them i knew very little about drums, and how they function, but are low income, so cant aford a new set and need to make do with fixing what i have. They were only interested in selling me new single components in stead of parts to fix mine. I have bought a few things, but was really disappointed that they cannot or will not help me get the replacement parts i need. I also felt they looked down on me for not being able to afford a brand new set. Will only go back if i cant find anything some other way.
These guys are pretty bad about looking down on you if you aren’t rich. It is convenient having guitar strings to buy right there in ontario, but every time I go in and try to get something for my guitars they try to shame me for having guitars that don’t cost five grand

Greg may not have what you need but he can get it. He’s very knowledgable of whatever you need to know and one of the nicest people you’ll ever deal with.
6. American Music USA
Address: 2912 Cleveland Blvd, Caldwell, ID 83605 , Payette County , Idaho , United States
They are really friendly there. I went to get my guitar setup and the employees are some of the best people I’ve met.
Great store with great people working there. Prices are always fair and if you want guitar lessons, this is where you want to go. I go in here every time I’m around Boise. Repairs, sales, lessons, etc. Definitely one of my favorite guitar shops in the US!
Very helpful! I called ahead to let them know what I was looking for and when I got there was pleasantly surprised at their pricing. There was no pressured sales pitch and no condescending attitude for being an ‘old’ beginner. If I’m ever in the area again, this shop will certainly receive more business from me!
Expensive!
Really lacking in inventory. Staff was helpful, though.

Very good service! I Felt very welcome and she wants to help.
……Store located JUST EAST OF TARGET….
Best choice for band & orchestra instrument rental….best price, repairs included!
Pianos, Guitars, Lowrey Play-For-Fun classes for seniors.
Always FRIENDLY service. All piano teacher books in stock…. New recital hall in 2015!!!
The Nampa store is part of Idaho’s LARGEST full-service music company.
Had the unfortunate experience with a different local music place instead of going to DUNKLEYS FIRST!!! As soon as I walked in, I felt instantly comfortable and welcomed. No credit check needed! Made me feel important and made me feel valued. Will only do businesses with these folks for instruments moving forward. Xoxoox thank you Shelby!!
Would not recommend. Very unwelcome vibes. Zero chill music store vibes lady just wanted us to leave the second we got ther. The lady I dealt with was rude and tried to gouge me for my money.
9. Rick’s Music
Address: 915 W Flamingo Ave, Nampa, ID 83651 , Payette County , Idaho , United States
Rick is the nicest and actually one of the most talented musicians and music shop owners i have ever met. Good honest prices, Great customer service and vibe in there. Drums, guitars bass and more.
I had Rick set up my guitar. He did a Fantastic job. Fast and reliable. One day service. I would Recommend him all who needs guitar service. AAA++++
Rick is a great guy, and there’s always a gem or two hanging on the wall. Good prices, too!
Last Saturday I took my most prized possession to Rick, I paid to have a set up and new strings put on my Epiphone Les Paul 1960 Tribute pro. When I got it home I pulled it out and wanted to play it. I noticed right off the bat that Rick took a Utility knife or some other tool and shaved off the binding all around the fret board The fret board has gouges all the way around and the frets stick out and gouge your fret hand when you try to play it. My guitar is completely ruined! I haven’t slept in several days I’m so pissed. I in no way implied, asked for or mentioned that he do this to my guitar. I can’t even open the case it makes me so sick! I would not recommend Rick to anyone again. Rudy Rodriguez Nampa Idaho
10. Agape Coffeehouse
Address: 20 S 16th St, Payette, ID 83661 , Payette County , Idaho , United States
I am addicted to this place. Best roasted coffee beans to buy and bring home. Has an artsy vibe. It’s
Agape has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a great place to prepare for the day or unwind.
Great atmosphere, drinks…Just needs food
Good coffee, but unbelievably slow. Like painfully slow. Don’t go if you’re in a hurry. I have waited for my latte for over 15 min. Only one person was ahead of me.
I had a painting class there. Scone was good and people were very nice. Coffee was delicious. Parking is limited.
Syrup is too sweet for their beans, its not creamy so much as it is syruppy.
We will stick with DB or BR.
Also coffeehouse is religious filled with preaching and God everywhere, it took us back a little. Didnt like the energy.
Haven’t been here for awhile it across the street from my daughter’s house I c it everything I go visit
The wait was ridiculous.
11. Dorsey Music, Nampa
Address: 1231 Caldwell Blvd, Nampa, ID 83651 , Payette County , Idaho , United States
This place is where I come for
Quality repair online guitars and other musical equipment I’ve always had wonderful service here I’ve always been very pleased with the outcome of their work I’ve had work done on a few of my guitars
There.. I recommend Network to anybody that needs repair job on a quality instrument thank you Dorsey Music for fixing my loved instruments.
We always shop at Dorsey music for all our music needs. They have an incredible inventory and always have what I need. Their staff is also very friendly. Thank you Dorsey Music!
Took violin bow to be fixed. The person who fixed it was very happy to help and upbeat. Everyone asked if I had been helped.
A good music location, especially for a small area.
It’s okay
The staff has never been rude, narcissistic, nor degrading.
Ok
I rented a cello for my daughter and was initially very pleased. But after two months when my payment was due I could not find the account online, so the next time we were in the shop I asked the staff about it. They had no record of it and proceeded to interrupt my daughter’s lesson to check the number on the cello. Still nothing. They found the contract and called me back the next day. It had never been entered into the system and although my card was swiped when we signed the contract and took the cello home, the transaction had not gone through. They had me go back through my bank statements from two months previous and we confirmed that it had not gone through. At which point, instead of apologizing for THEIR mistake, they acted like I was trying to steal from them. Even upon going in to pay the whole 3 months, they were rude and condescending even though I was the one who brought the mistake to their attention. I honestly wanted to just give them the damn cello back and rent from somewhere else, but my daughter likes this specific cello :(. We will be going elsewhere once she outgrows this size
She new exactly what we needed… Except the guitar tuner is way to high when amazon has it for $7 dollars less
12. Welch Music Center

Mediocre selection. Disinterested staff. No masks.
Not as helpful as I’d hoped. Purchased a guitar somewhere else.

Rented a cello. The gave me student cello. Didn’t want to add note stickers on but gave me a pack for 8.00. This was the worst instrument I have ever seen. It could not be tuned. And the sound was pretty bad. I took it back in 3 days asked for a refund to which I received a prompt NO. Then I said to the man at the counter if you give this cello to a kid it’s going to turn him or her off to playing it. I imagined he would say I will take a look at it. But instead he came out swinging and proceeded to tell me off. I felt upset and hurt somewhat when I left. Went to Dunkley music they have better instruments and kinder people working there. They offered to add the stickers on without me asking. That was an easy 70.00 for Welch!
I called them to replace the hair bow of my violin and the strings they said they can do it. When I visited them they Saud they can’t replace the hair bow but only the strings so I had to to another music shop.
RENTER BEWARE! Insurance on rented instruments does not cover accidental damage. You are better off going to Dunkley and renting – their insurance DOES cover accidental damage. We found out the hard way and were first told that the insurance would cover the damage, then told it would not, and we were treated very rudely by the old guy who works there – I don’t think he can have a conversation without interrupting.

Omgosh! Bobby helped us figure out what we wanted. Nice people! Great coffee!
Always awesome here. Great visit. Extremely friendly.
Not as busy as the Ontario one.. I hate waiting
Good service & very friendly
The Iced Mocha is awesomeness!
Coffee at this place reminds me of coffee My grandmother used to drink dirty water with the taste of coffee this isn’t coffee it’s dirty water
Features: Social distancing is a communist plot
They have good drinks but they are not smoker friendly. I got into a confentation over putting out my cigarette at the drive thru an then corporate wasn’t much help saying its a policy that may or may not be enforced. An no they wont be bringing your drink out if you park away from the window because it impedes on customer flow. So i think there are plenty of other coffee shops out there.
Not a fan your drink turns to syrup in a matter of an hr
I like how convenient Redbox is or the idea of Redbox is. But I hate Redbox. Lol it seams like everytime I want to rent a movie for a night or 2 it always ends with me buying the darn thing.
They usually have great titles to choose from, including DVDs, Blu-ray & games.
It would be nice if maybe they sent you a email to notify you saying “hey return the movie or you’ll be charged $35” but it’s all good.
Very disappointed in redbox tonight.Try to call and get some help get no where with them. I ask to speak to a supervisor and wait 15 minutes before I hang up. I have not had any problems before this and now I can’t even rent a movie. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Doing well
Went in, had a situation where my dad didn’t pay for a few months. And found out at a point, and we went in to pay. We payed off all fees and payments just to get done with paying the saxophone. And ended up to owe 90$ for a last payment.. we went in for the last payment, and out of nowhere we ended up to “owe” 1800$ while we had all of the receipts that proved otherwise. Basically we payed it off completely and the man that was there was trying to make us pay more with lies. He later tried calling his mom saying that there was a “mistake.” We found out that you guys were trying to screw us over, so if that’s what you guys were trying to do with us, I assume that you probably screw other people over. I will make sure to never recommend anyone to come here. And your staff is unfriendly and rude when coming into your store by the way…
