Convenient location. Right next door to Dollar Tree.
Just always nice and clean and it employs what kind everyone wore the mask
Convenient place to shop! Great merchandise as well as great prices!
It was an easy in and out trip.
Clean, nice cashiers
Bought some mouthwash. 🙂
Not worth it
Second time I’ve went at 8:59 and this store is closed for no reason.
Very poor business. Opens at 8am, it’s after 8am, no signs this store is opening soon. The website says it opens at 8am, and the sign on the door says it opens at 8am. I think this is poor management.

Very knowledgeable and helpful in getting the equipment we needed.
I raised two musicians all the way through college with instruments, service and repairs from Art’s. Absolutely the best!
Family run business that is an honest broker and sales staff, with excellent repair technicians. Compare them on new and used instruments, and repair cost; you will quickly use one of their locations for your music needs.
❤️ I visited Art’s Music Shop for the first time last week, and I was very impressed with the professionalism of those who worked there and the great selection of instruments and music! Kayci Greer was very helpful and knowledgeable about my flute that needed repair! Their prices are also wonderful! Their dedication to excellence is inspiring!
I called and they didnt answear
Wonderful customer service
It’s nice that stores like Art’s are still around.
I spent $3500 on a saxophone here and when I tried to sell it back they offered me $150 even though it was in good condition just an fyi
BEWARE!!!!! ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY. My son was suppose to attend a camp. I rented the merchandise on May 31. Was told he would not be able to attend. Called the shop back June 2 explaining how he would not be able to attend. They would not let me speak with management. Took the merchandise back to the shop on June 3. The staff stated that I could not return unless I pay the minimum rental fee of 4 months before I returned. The instrument was never used or open. Brought back in 4 days and still received poor service. I will not be referring this music shop to any parents. Now I’m out of thousands of dollars and my child hasn’t even touched the instrument.
You should think about buying an instrument from another source, this place is a money pit, will find ways to charge you more than you should have to pay. They have in-house repair but will charge alot for any normal wear and tear, when you turn in a rental instrument after just 4 months rental. Ended up spending around $500. Should have bought an instrument elsewhere and would have owned it for that amount. Wish I had listened to my intuition. Lesson learned.

Cool guys, good prices on guitars. Super chill place. They also sell guitar accessories
Great place for musicians to visit.
Great staff and selection. Real local musicians work and hang out here. Very cool place.
Owner was very helpful. I was looking for a pair of drum sticks. He was kind and explained that this was a shop. Occasionally may acquire drumming items. I appreciated his honesty and kindness. Purchased 2 pairs.
It kind of feels like grandpa’s basement here, in a good way. Lots of interesting gear to browse through, plenty of it gently used and ready to be rocked again. There are some Strats hanging here that anyone would love to own, plenty of great options for tube amps, replacement speakers and even an eclectic assortment of used pedals that are worth picking through.
Pricing for everything is slightly higher than online for same items, BUT, you get to support a local business and take it home today. It’s the kind of place I’d stop in to a couple times a year if I lived here. Character.
Bought a guita there yeRs ago. Just visiting the store ‘off Highland’ for the first time. Nice array of guitars !
Pretentious and overpriced….typical music store snobbery
I left this store just a moment ago after being asked to leave because I had not yet made a purchase. I had originally intended to pick up a few packs of strings for my acoustic, now I’m glad I had not. I stopped by today with my friend who had told me about this store. He has been a customer of this store before and had always told me the staff here was friendly and that they have great service. We spent roughly 45 minutes in the store before the man at the counter, whom we had previously overheard talking to another customer about us saying, “What’s the deal with these two jokebags?” told us to get out of the store because we had not yet bought anything. We promptly left the store and I soon received a text from my friend saying that he had gone back inside to try to clear things up with the man that was working the counter and he told me that the man said he was not feeling well and is looking to close the store early. So if his goal is to minimize the business they get to close up early, he is doing very well.
Won’t ever visit again! No greetings, no nothing. I was in the store about ten minutes and no one ever acknowledge it. I was referred to this place by the guy in Homewood music shop but he could’ve saved the breath he use cause nothing was worth driving to this store for!!

I needed 2 wireless mics for our church’s old PA system. They are so helpful! They want to make sure that what you purchase from them will work! Nothing like good customer service!
This place is great. The people are nice and helpful.Erskin , Wailyn, and Joseph were all great. Thanks and i will return.
Excellent customer service and very friendly. They threatened me with a lot of respect. They gave me the best price I could possibly get. Thanks guys!!!!
I needed to buy instruments for my Middle School kids. They were very upfront with their prices and seemed to have the best deals.
Usually get good service, but I took my guitar nut to be repaired after my guitar took a spill. I let them know the guitar had fallen and hoped they would fix. The nut was replaced poorly but the guitar had a buzz. Took it back 2 more times. The last visit, the person in charge of the repair (2 weeks later)said I had heavy fingers and raised the stings to a height that made the guitar unplayable. I took to another repair shop and they repaired the nut replaced by Bailey Brothers found a couple of uneven frets repaired the frets adjusted the neck and had to re-setup the guitar from the disaster repair at Bailey Brothers. If in need of repairs I will never return to this store.
This place is awesome, need customer service? DONE! Need a repair? DONE! Need to place an order? DONE! The only thing I did not like was the lack of extended range instruments. You will not be finding fanned fret, 28 fret, tap guitar, etc. You want those go to WARR guitars or order them off of a musicians website.
manager and owner very racist!
No stars really. Not a very good merchant. Let someone use my credit card number without the card! Be careful!
Don’t answer the phone

Outstanding service, excellent personalities, and excessive knowledge.
I hope Google reviews doesn’t have a word limit
After taking one of my guitars to ANOTHER music store for a relatively small problem with the nut, their repair made my guitar unplayable. I wasn’t about to take it back to the same place to be fixed, so it sat unloved in its case for almost 2 years.
While this guitar would not be considered a high-end guitar, it’s a very nice Takamine, with considerable sentimental value.
I took it to Homewood Music. After I explained what happened to the guitar, I was asked if I took it a certain music store, and man, it was the one I had gone to first.
I left it in the care of Jason Burns to repair the atrocities. This involved making a new nut, repairing the damage binding at and headstock at the nut, new strings, and overall setup.
While working on it, Jason noticed some other problems with the bridge saddle that he went ahead and corrected with new hand carved bone saddle. He didn’t charge for the additional work because it wasn’t evident and discussed prior. The craftsman in him just wasn’t going to let that guitar go unless it was right.
I can’t say enough good things about Jason Burns and Homewood Music. The workshop is the majority of the space and yes there are very nice inventory of stringed instruments for sale and trade.
I would say it’s a luthier shop that also sells stringed instruments, rather than a music store that sells instruments and happens to do repairs.
They treated me, a hack amateur, and my guitar as if I were a professional musician with top end equipment.
Go to Homewood Music!
Good product, Good service.
Friendly atmosphere and lots of instruments.
I’ve never dealt with someone so rude over the phone. The owner tried to guilt me with sarcasm and acted like victim when I questioned a price. Full story: I asked to order a cello string. All was going well (owner answered questions about speed of shipping and availability of the string), but then he quoted a price ($81) that was far above what other shops charge. I said respectfully that “I’ve purchased the string for $45 at other walk-in shops” and he became sarcastic and argumentative with me, claiming he was “holding my hand” through the process, and said “Well, I have to pay $35 for this string so what do YOU think is fair for ME to make? $15? What is 35 + 15, huh? Ohhh, maybe $50 is more than you can afford?” A simple, “well this is my price” would have been fine as a response from him, but I felt disrespected so I hung up and decided I’m never going to spend a dime Homewood Musical Instrument Co. I advise everyone else to steer clear of this shop and the guy who owns it.

The most honest and helpful folks for new players. I remember getting six strings for the little money I had. Sometimes it was two for one Monday or Wednesday or Tuesday. I recently bought several used guitars from Cobb County, GA. I planned on selling them to make a few bucks. I wound up giving them all away to young people who just wanted to play.
