Duke, is the most talented and down to earth guy I know. He truly has a gift which he never takes for granted. I absolutely love watching him perform on stage. He plays his heart out each and every time. He’s a wonderful person inside and out. Duke, you are gonna do great things. I’m so proud of you.
Duke is my best friend brother from another mother y’all wouldn’t believe he quit playing for a while. But as his friend he guided me in to music I had no music knowledge before him crazy thing is we never took professional lesson this guy became great on his on he may have met people on the way that pushed him in ways to be better but you can believe he grinned he worked for hours days and years to be where he is I have always told him he would be here but his humble spirit he just smiled and brushed it off now he here this guy is real and is one of a kind get at my brother Duke Rob
This guy is not only the best guitarist on the planet, he has the best personality you could ask for.

Awesome company for all your band needs. Awesome service after the sale. The trumpet repair man was extremely nice. Very helpful. Highly recommend.
Karaoke Thursday at Maxwell is amazing!!!!
Awsome drumsticks
Friendly staff.
It’s a great place all repairs have been flawless the only thing is it opens later in the morning which can sometimes be a problem.
The level of customer service you receive really depends on who you speak to at the company. Some do not understand customer service while others go above and beyond to help you out.
They really price gouge parents of high school band kids. My daughter needed a clarinet. The salesman convinced me that for $90/month she could have a durable, great sounding, top-of-the-line instrument. Well she got to play it for 1 season because of Covid-19 causing cancellation of most of the events. So basically she got a couple months of usage and I had to pay on the thing for years, amounting to about $4000. Then they offered me $400 to buy back the clarinet that was still in pristine excellent condition. I probably would have taken $1500, but I think they could have offered at least $2000 since they can easily resell the instrument. To add insult to injury they made me pay $50 to ship it back to our house after it took them almost 2 weeks to appraise it at the store 3 hours from here in Mobile because I rejected the offer for $400. If anyone needs a nice wooden clarinet, find me on FB and message me. I’ll give you a much better deal than Art’s.
Completely ridiculous prices for violin strings! The only reason they’re getting two stars is because they weren’t rude about it. $100 for a set of dominants.
Johnson String Instruments sells custom sets of dominant A, D, and G with your choice of e for $76.
Amazon charges $54 for a set of dominants. About half of what Art’s was asking.
I was traveling and wanted a spare set of strings in case one on my instrument broke- I decided to just risk it. Do you people have any respect for working professional musicians or are you just trying to extract as much money as possible from witless amateurs and students who come to your shop?? Shame on you.
I will never do any business with this place again I have had enough
3. Guitar Center
Address: 2572 Eastern Blvd, Montgomery, AL 36117 , Pike Road , Alabama , United States
Wide selection of guitars and keyboards as well as very helpful and knowledgable staff.
Great
Very knowledgeable staff. Great service. Not the fastest process if you are selling something. Large selection. Friendly staff. If they could speed up the sales process it would get 5 stars.
Good people. Decent selection, nothing in tune or intonated. Can’t tell much about the demos.
Watched employees harassment of another customer, they got so close to the customer I count tell if they touched the customer. The rage of the employee showed that he was to close his dirty mask was saying it and sprayed it on to the customer.
Not like it use to be. Have employees vaping in the store and complaining about their job, what they are and arent going to do. (Unprofessional millennial trash) Floors need to be vacuumed and restrooms really need some love and attention (light switches and all). Simple housekeeping. For a big name musical retail store it looked as though it was a garage sale with somewhat thought out pricing on most items. I saw a guitar on the wall, for sale at normal price, missing a pick up. There was a pearl double bass pedal that has been extremely used and abused and missing pieces, that had a clearance tag behind it (399.99 retail, 399.99 clearance) so you save nothing. Zero dollars saved. Products are heavily used and dirty. Hangars and hooks where merchandise is supposed to be are missing. I used to really enjoy going to GC for the music, equipment, knowledge and atmosphere. Now, its just disappointing, embarrassing and sad.
Myself and another gentleman were waiting for help forever no one came only person I saw was playing on their phone so I approached and said I guess you don’t want my business and proceeded to go buy speakers at Bailey Bros. Not sure what the gentleman I was in there with did. I have had to search for help before there, so nothing new but this was the worsed!

I coordinated with Les Durell to be at the Montgomery store on a Friday to have Brian Hinton do a complete setup on my new Nik Huber Krautster 2 that I got about 4-5 weeks ago! Brian is easily one of the best guitar technicians I’ve ever used in the past 45 plus years of playing guitar! His setups breathe new life into your guitars and they sound and play like they are supposed to! I drove the 5 hour round trip from Anniston knowing that it would be well worth the trip! I’ve known Brian and Les for close to 15 years and they are both a real asset to Bailey Brothers with their extensive experience of selling and servicing high-end Boutique acoustic and electric guitars and amplifiers and all musical gear!
Great store with a high end boutique guitars
I am from Florida, and visiting. Went into two of the stores. Fantastic help and instruments.
The manager was very helpful & the prices were very reasonable on what we were looking for!
Lots of instruments. Knowledgeable staff who are willing to help. Try here before you go to guitar center. Be warned seems like some of their prices are kind of high.
I usually try and call in before I go into the store and these guys usually sound like they don’t really have time for that. Quick to get off the phone, I ask a question and they respond with one word and are very blunt and just overall just seem to be uninterested in what you as the customer wants unless you’re trying to buy.
Told the repair guy I was on my way. When I got there he had left. I was going to wait until the two employees I talked to just laughed instead of apologizing. I went to Lisenby’s in Prattville and they took care of everything.
I have supported Bailey Bros. since I was a kid, but it’s time for the Montgomery store to be put out of its misery.

Fantastic experience, does his stuff proper
This guy really knows what he’s doing! Great quality and turnaround time!
Just stopped in to buy rubber bands…in and out. Prices are great and staff is very helpful.
Very convenient location. Always great to be able to get in and out quickly.
The prices were reasonable and the store was clean. The staff was familiar with the prices and location of products. Overall it was a pleasant experience.
Nice clean store in Pike Rd, Al. It’s nice to run in and out without having to stand in long lines like those in big box stores.
Ok
The employees are friendly and very helpful. This is the perfect place to pick up something quickly.
Rude employee and manger. I’ve been going to the dollar general for years. They are locking the door 10 minutes to closing and the employee was extremely rude to me. I asked her for her name, and she said, “Do you want me to spell it and write it down for you.” I called the manger the next morning and her reply was… you’re suppose to be staying in your house with the virus and we’re really tired. I asked her to address her rude employee and she would not. She said it you got a problem call corporate and hung up on me! store 14350
Convenient, but no fat free milk – ever!
I really hate it. They just dont believe in stocking at all. And its one thing that really burns my nerve is me coming to a store thats suppose to have a certain product. I get there and find they dont have it.end up wasting my time coming there in the first place. And then end up having to waste a huge chunk of gas trying to go somewhere else to look for what i came to this store for. Its sad they dont stock corn meal. But they will pile up on the flour. They dont stock different variety of cheese even though there is a place for a certain cheese you go there and its never there.
Why display something that you know you dont plan on carrying? They dont stock Clorox(the real kind) but they will pile up on a bunch of Chesapeake bleach. I dont like this store at all.

Always enjoy coming to Lisenby’s. Always something new and cool.
Best music shop in town! So much here at the store. The owner, Lance, is a great guy, I get all my guitar gear from him. Recommend to any fellow musicians in Prattville.
Great customer service and friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone.
Lance and Tracy are nice folks. They have a good selection of strings and accessories. Neat place for obscure instruments.
Entire staff is great with the kids! My daughter loves to go to MEOW Academy!
My daughter has recently started piano lessons and she is already excelling and playing full songs. The staff is very knowledgeable and patient with the students. I absolutely love how professional they have been. I love that I made the decision to enroll my daughter in this awesome music academy!!!
MEOW Academy has been nothing but an excellent experience. My daughter is always very excited to go to music weekly because she loves learning from Mr. Terrence Baldwin and Mr. Ernest Carter. They both are simply phenomenal with the students. Not only do they have the ability to draw students out of their comfort zone, they encourage them to step out of the box and OWN their talent. MEOW Academy gives the students unconditional support during moments of student’s self-doubt. My daughter is not shy to get up on stage and perform in front of a crowd, due to her sheer love of music and MEOW Academy. We also took part in MEOW Academy, “Camp Kids Groove” summer camp, which was an unbelievably fun, creative, and all-around awesome experience allowing students to have an opportunity to explore other instruments (drums, guitar keyboard, etc.). I would recommend MEOW Academy to anyone interested in learning music because they will not find a more dedicated staff. They are knowledgeable in both the art of music and the art of instructing children and adults.
I didn’t have a piano for repair, but a free standing wooden cabinet that we wanted to keep. Both side doors looked damaged beyond repair and the wood was severely dented in from the impact it received. Mr. Joey Thomas not only repaired the damage, but it looks like new. You have to look hard if you want to see where the dents were located and the doors hang perfectly again. When we show our friends, they can’t even find the dents or where it was damaged.
Can’t believe this is the same cabinet we dropped off for repair. I’ll trust no one else with my wooden repair needs. He definitely puts friendly service and quality in what he does.
Great people, great service! I highly recommend them!
They moved a piano we purchased and delivered it to our house. Very nice and professional. I will definitely recommend them for any of the services they provide.

Glad to see another Bailey Brothers Music location, always friendly and helpful.
Staff were friendly, professional, helpful and very knowledgeable of all my questions asked. Gave excellent advice.
They were really nice. They answered all of my questions, what I needed they directed me to the downtown store and even gave me a discount. I really appreciate them.
This location is small but they have an awesome selection of guitars and other instruments not carried other places.
Awesome service ✅
Nice store. Interesting inventory. But the staff wasn’t at all interested in talking to me.
