Exclusive selection: The top 5 music shops of Redfield

Nice little music store. I pick up strings and picks there all the time.

GREAT customer service, they didn’t have a tuba in store but they were able to get one from another store and have it brought to the store in NLR, I really appreciate their helpfulness as well as kindness.

Great selection and good service.

More of a piano shop. Only a few ele8 guitars, but those few were brands i wasnt familiar with, however they did all play great. And the price range was very fair.
Speaking of price, i believe they have to lowest priced guitar strings anywhere within 75 miles.

In and out. Didn’t stay long. However, they had what I wanted and no one in the area complained about the half Naked Trucker with a guitar in the parking lot zoning out in his own world.

Knowledgeable and amazing service!

Not very much guitar stuff. Didn’t even have strap studs.

The absolute worst store ive ever been in will not be back

A few months ago, I visited Saied Music’s North Little Rock location to look into used flutes (online flutes are too hit-or-miss, I discovered, so I wanted to be able to try one before buying). Not wanting to spend a small fortune on an instrument I wasn’t sure I’d stick with, I figured used would be a safe bet.

The gentleman who was working that day showed me a Jupiter flute that had a price tag of $380 or $385 (I just distinctly remember it being in the $380 range). It had a head joint with a gold-plated lip plate that I found rather garish, but for the price, I was willing to consider it once I tried it and realized it played fairly easily. So, I went home to think on it, but I ultimately put off getting a flute for awhile.

Yesterday, I returned, and lo and behold, they had the same flute still in stock. However, this time a different guy brought it out, and the price had been removed, leaving only a partial green tag with some text on it. The man made a fairly loud show of talking to the other guy, who had originally showed it to me the first time I saw it, saying that, since it had a green tag, he could sell it for below the “book price.” He thumbed through a binder, ran his finger down a list of prices, and landed on $480. Then, he quoted me $450, saying that price was $30 below list.

I immediately thought of the scene in Legally Blonde when the clothing boutique worker pulls a tag off a dress from last season and tries to sell it to Elle for a huge mark-up, believing her to be too uninformed to know any better.

I closed the case without taking another look, then left the store without saying another word.

I lost all trust in Saied Music in that instant, and I will not return.

This is a follow-up on my last review of independent music services – I brought my socks home after they fixed it again because it dropped on the floor before I can get out the door – there was so great they fixed it for free and took it home and I’ve been playing it then one day I picked it up I and one of the keys just fell off. I knew it was one that was broken when it smashed on the floor they put it all back together and it worked fine for a week or so but the post that fell off they couldn’t have known that it was compromised by the fall. I took the saxophone back two them and they fixed it again for only 25 dollars! Like I said in my previous review THESE GUYS ARE OFF THE HOOK AWESOME!!!

Very helpful, very professional.

Very nice place

Very helpful and informative

Did excellent work on my old trombone, very nice people!

I came in with a horn to have repairs done to it. I needed to have my saxophone’s neck recorked. I needed additional repairs, but above all needed the recorking. The repairman came up, looked at the instrument brand and said he could do nothing for me because if he broke something, he would have to make a part. I thanked him and walked out. I thought by the ratings that this would be a location with skilled craftsmen, but instead feel like it’s people prone to mistakes so they can only work on standard brands and not all instruments. I’d consider calling before coming. They are the only place around for quite a distance and driving over 60 miles to be treated like this felt very awful!

Best music shop ive ever been too, with the funniest staff. Highly recommend here over the guitar center in little rock

What a great music store! They have QUALITY used guitars, basses, pedals, and amplifiers. Their used equipment has been touched up and inspected by a master craftsman. The owner is the nicest guy you’ll meet, and the prices on the used gear are way better than you’ll find online in most places. Seems like a great place for lessons as well from what I heard when I stopped by. Musicians of NLR and surrounding areas, it’s worth the visit.

Hey! Just wanted to give a shout out to Brandon Toney of Renown Music in North Little Rock. Took my MusicMan Stingray to Brandon to do a set up. My bass came from the factory in virtually unplayable condition. Brandon was able to adjust the neck, bridge, pickup height, and intonation to put my bass into perfect playing condition with a set of new strings which I provided. And he did all this work in the space of one-hour! He thoroughly explained every adjustment he made on my bass. Brandon clearly has masterful skills when it comes to servicing guitars. And he’s a great guy! I was about ready to trade-in my MusicMan but now, after Brandon got his skillful hands on it, you couldn’t pry this bass out my clutches for any amount of money! It’s a keeper! I highly recommend Brandon to anyone in need of guitar repairs. Thanx Brandon for a job well done!
