Owners are very nice….love the small music store feel….all the guitars were in tune that is totally awesome…. definitely recommend this place
Great people very friendly and great deals
What a wonderful store and staff! The gentlemen who took care of us was a very nice, polite and friendly man. We had a very nice conversation and bought a BEAUTIFUL BANJO at a GREAT PRICE! He gave my son great tips for using finger picks. We will be recommending this music store to everyone we know.
Inconvenient hours of operation. Ended up buying a used guitar elsewhere. Otherwise my phone call was promptly returned and the woman I spoke with was very kind and friendly.

I have to give 10 STARS to this McDonald’s and the workers. I went in placed my order left my IPHONE PRO 12 on the counter after using my rewards and walked out. I can’t thank you enough that it was found and returned. I didn’t expect it.
Nice 24/7 service
Its McDonald’s, thats about all I can say.
Went for dinner the drive threw went quick got some fresh apple pie Daniela was very helpful good fast spot to eat.
Cold french fries that cost almost$4 that were about halfway filled. Also not that the price is up on the wall inside but, ten piece nuggets are more than a 20 piece. Shame on employees that don’t warn you or explain. Only went there for my 7 year old nephew. Never again. Ty
Ice costs extra in drinks now?
The staff was nice at first but wouldn’t take my order for like 20 minutes and they swore loudly a few times during my visit.
Kid-friendliness: The staff swore loud enough a few times during my visit which could be clearly heard and understood through family conversation

Address: 123 Goshen Rd, Moosup, CT 06354 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
My Fender Jazz Bass was acting up and cutting in and out. Not only did Joel diagnose the problem – a corroded output jack- but he had it replaced and back in my hands within two days. Great work! Thanks again Joel!
Really great shop! Stop in, this place does awesome work. Cannot recommend them enough!
Joel does great work at reasonable prices.

Best place to go see animals in semi-natural habitat. Love the deer area where you come in contact with them to feed them.
Ok food, nice people 🙂
Nice place to sit and have a drink
Nice little bar, watched some great bands play, how can you go wrong?
The bartenders are nice, BUT the cocktails aren’t great by any means, being inside the establishment feels like being in someone’s outdated basement den, the crowd is very local/mostly regulars and therefore not very social or friendly toward newcomers, and with only two ancient window unit air conditioners it’s hot, humid, and uncomfortable inside. There was a DJ playing music, performing karaoke, and offering guests to sing as well. The singing wasn’t bad at all, but the DJ was a little out of touch. She mostly selected outdated pop hits that I can only describe as “cheesy”. It would have been much better if they cut out the DJ altogether and just let guests select and purchase songs on the TouchTunes. We stayed for a few drinks, only because our go-to, Happy Jack’s, was closed for vacation.. We cut our night short because of how disappointing it was becoming. If you’ve never been and are looking for a place for a night out with good drinks and a fun experience, unfortunately I would suggest you look elsewhere.
Poor service

Matty is knowledgable and always willing to help. This is also a great place to take lessons on your instrument of choice, whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience.
Amazing prices great service! Matty is an amazing performer and teacher I would recommend him any day.
Matty and his staff provide personalized service at good prices. This is a really good local business, doing good things in the community.
Great service.
Dirty, stuff everywhere, completely disorganized.
13. Music & Arts
Address: 989 Farmington Ave, West Hartford, CT 06107 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
We are new to the area and we’re pleased to have found this music store just around the corner. The customer service by telephone and in person was excellent; I spoke to a Chris and a Ruben, both of whom were gracious and helpful.
I had my 40-year-old folk guitar re-strung and re-conditioned for $25! To boot, Ruben was kind enough to tune my guitar on my way out of the store.
It’s rare to find a Music store these days. It’s even more rare to find a store whose staff provide such professional customer service. Will definitely bring our other two guitars in for servicing.
Service was amazing. My son plays contrabass and I don’t know much about the needs. The manager was really knowledgeable and helped us choose mid cost strings and a new bow suitable for a young but not brand new player. I appreciate that they didn’t do a hard sell with more cost than I was comfortable with right now. The things came in promptly. When we came in C. handled changing the strings and helping my son with the new bow. He was fantastic. I will continue to use their store! Really happy!
Provides great teachers and a convenient schedule, as well as instruments, repairs, accessories and advice from the musicians who work there. Take the opportunity to explore something new or study in depth.
Limited retail space, but the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Music lessons are offered on site.
I have condensed my original rant down to the following- we really like our children’s teachers- but the front desk needs saving
Yeah it’s good!
The worst company in the world!!!! If I can give anyone advice it would be to stay away from this place. Their thief’s and I will never do business with them again.
Make sure you ask questions. I signed my son up for instrument lessons over the phone and the woman asked me if I preferred West Hartford or East Hartford. I chose the one closest to my home, on the day of the first lesson, I brought my son to the store for the lesson and they tell me its an online lesson. An ONLINE lesson? No one ever said a thing about an online lesson and why would you ask me which store Id like to go to if the lesson was online!?
Go to the one in East Hartford much better . They only want to help when you make major purchases.
14. JC Music
Address: 529 W Main St, Meriden, CT 06451 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
My daughter has taken piano lessons with Brian at JC music for two years. It has been a positive experience all around. We have been very impressed with Brian’s knowledge, ability and patience with teaching young children. I would highly recommend him!
Very pleased with my experience at JC Music. I thought they were very knowledgeable, able to assess the instruments I brought in, make repairs and sold 2 items for me. I got a fair price, sold sooner than I expected and I received a check promptly. I have dealt with another music consignment shop and was not satisfied with them .This store was very efficient. I would recommend them for buying or selling any musical equipment.
They got my elec. piano working again with a quick turn around and updated me throughout the process. Pro the whole way!
Would like to obtain some nice brushes and some type of top hat set used and very sturdy since I break percussion instruments all the time when I perform?
My son, Roberto Luis and Rosa live in Meriden. Are you far from the mall? I have spent a lot of time jamming in Puerto Rico to salsa, merengue, etc but my favorite is funk like Buddy Miles.
My grandson really enjoyed the music lessons and they are very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.
Never have any of the literature or instrument parts I’m looking for. Took 3 months to repair a trombone. I tried to return an item and they wouldn’t give me back the cash to go to another place. The owner has blatantly disrespected my mother on several occasions and doesn’t have much knowledge of much of anything outside of rock music. As far as i’m concerned, this is the worst music store i’ve ever set foot in and would not recommend to anybody.
Completely disappointed. I placed an order in store on a instrument that was never placed with JC music. The customer service was poorly displayed and the options they gave us was not acceptable. I asked to speak to the owner several times and would not get on the phone and made his new employee talk to me. I ended up going somewhere else that was amazing
This was a horrible expierence. They need to get their stuff together, they had already-sold instruments on shelf. They had an amazing guitar sale and when I went to buy, it was already sold! They got my hopes high and let it down and I will not give them my money any longer.
15. The Music Score LLC
Address: 2315 Silas Deane Hwy, Rocky Hill, CT 06067 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
I have been taking piano lessons with Gil Flores @ The Music Score studio for the past 2 years and have had an excellent experience. Gil brings a wealth of musical experience and teaches in a very understandable, nonthreatening manner with reasonable expectations and positive feedback. Relates well to all age groups.
I didn’t come to purchase any thing but the employees were more than happy to show me their selection and teach me about the purpose of the parts on the guitars/bass.
Great service! Nice friendly owner
Very knowledgeable and friendly.
My daughter is signed up for lessons and her teacher is great (I hear the others are as well). Just try not to deal with the guy that owns it.
Arrived at 10:00am (they open at 10am, but not today). I waited and they finally arrived. All I needed was guitar strings, but they had none. What a waste of time.
I tried to return my daughter’s Viola due to the school no longer providing classes. It was a total nightmare to get an answer in regards to my credit. They are very irresponsible and I am very disappointed by the lack of care towards my return which was even misplaced! Mom and dad are not helpful at all and he should really look at keeping them home, they make things worse!
16. 1 More Time Around
Address: 57 Ward Ave, Moosup, CT 06354 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
Wonderful service!!!! I got help in finding what I needed as soon as I walked in. Price was great! Customer for life.
Everyone is nice and prices are reasonable
This second hand store has everything!! If you can’t find it here you’re not looking hard enough.
Great place to get lost in. Lots of things to see.
Good variety
Sadly, although the people inside the shop seemed very nice the shop itself was very dirty and disorganized. There were lots of piles of things that had no rhyme or reason… Plates with stuffed animals with DVDs all in a pile. Everything was very dust and dirty too. I won’t be back.
Excellent Quality of both service and instruments.
Very helpful.
Very friendly fast and efficient service! I love shopping local
Fast and friendly service
In store service is good but can never call the Hartford Rayburn Music. Electronic voice prompts to dial 0 for an attendant but when do so it says “Your call cannot be transferred” been a customer for about 3 years. Never could get done anything over phone. Have to visit store for everything.
trying to reach the store for the past 5 months. they are not responding to email or phone call. The phone service is also disconnected now.
we are left with no response and no refund.
We rented a viola from Rayburn. The first viola wasn’t put together right (something to do with the bridge). after switching to another viola we realized the bow doesn’t quite fit with the viola.
we rented from the music store in the center and it was a great experience but pricier. though Rayburn isn’t cheap either
they will be replacing the viola once more, lets see how it goes this time…
19. La Salle Music & Sound
Address: 993 Main St #2233, East Hartford, CT 06108 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
They have fair pricing and will often give you a discount. Mark and Eric are great to work with at their East Hartford, CT location. You pay cash…they give you a better deal too. Tons of vinyl records for Beat Makers and Producers. All Genres to flip through.
Everyone is helpful.
They have rare vinyl records.
Great service.
First, the employees were excellent; friendly and helpful. I was extremely disappointed in the store itself. This was basically a dark, messy pawn shop, not the store I was familiar with from years ago. My only reason to go back would be to pick through dusty items to find something I might be in search of, more of an adventure.
Went in to sell my cello, the woman that was working there was amazing and very professional. She had to call the owner to ask about the selling price. He had her look up what my model last sold for on eBay (it’s 2021 my dude) and there were no matches so he had nothing to go off of. I paid $1400 for it, I was looking for around $500. He wanted to give me $50. An absolute joke. I’m not looking for top dollar but I’m also not looking to get completely ripped off.
Total waste of my time
Ordered lugs for my snare. They sent me receipts and invoices and never shipped my lugs. I called and emailed multiple times and never got a response back after leaving numerous messages. Been 2 months and I still don’t have my lugs and am out $60.
20. Dollar General
Address: 74 E Main St, Moosup, CT 06354 , Plainfield , Connecticut , United States
It’s great. I was able to finish my Xmas shopping. Without having to go to Walmart madhouse.
Need something you forgot? Dollar General is just around the corner and it has a big variety. Fair prices equal to any sale price…even their store brands are good. You can even save $5 on Saturday if you save the coupon from a day earlier in the week. BUT, do I? Nope, either find myself there on a Friday or, if it’s Saturday…can I find my coupon??? Nope, it’s in another jean pocket.
Good staff
It’s good enough
This Dollar General in particular is definitely not my favorite. For some reason they usually get either the lazy or the rude workers the store is always a mess restock carts left in lanes leaving no room and creating a potential fire hazard. I try to avoid and when I do go in its not that often that they have what I’m looking for to begin with. So I went through all of this for nothing.
The store has a good selection of merchandise but is usually pretty cluttered. I’d say most of the employees are friendly especially considering how busy the store usually is which usually means long lines and the help dealing ng with grumpy customers. It’s def a nice store to have close for general merch without having to make a trip to Lisbon or Killingly
It’s a freaken mess in there
The only real good thing about this Dollar General is it is close other than that the store is always a mess there is almost never more than one person on the register even when there is 10 people in line.
This store is dirty, dysfunctional, ailes are messy over all the worst store I’ve ever been in… corporate should be a shame of this store.
