As an active musician I loved Flatts and Sharpe’s extensive amount of equipment and help that they provided. The owner, Chris Bell, is a wonderful woman who helped my band out by recommending musicians she personally knew who were looking for work to add to my group. She also let us use her facilities as a practice space when we couldnt use ours. The experience there is wonderful. I often will just walk in to talk about music with the employees or browse books of music. The place is my go-to for music and always will be.
Súper bien
Great people!
My daughter says her Violin instructor is very nice:)
It’s better to walk there, if you’re local; no parking 4 to 6pm….
There’s a pleasant, vintage vibe.
Friendly staff. Fun little old school music shop. Sheet music selection kinda light. Look forward to going back, though. They offer music lessons, too.
I bought a couple things and had a setup done here last year. Their selection isn’t great and I needed to re-do the setup after I got it home. It wasn’t *bad*, but nothing was really done. Also, one of my strings broke in the process and they only replaced that one string.
When I called to ask about it because it had a different tone than the rest, they assured me it was just because it was new and that they used the exact same strings. (The bass was also brand new so that didn’t make a lot of sense, but I also didn’t know much about strings at the time so I took their word for it.
I just took my strings off for the first time since then and noticed the string that was replaced had a different color end than it should. (My bass has a string-thru body so it wasn’t apparent before.)
I don’t know why they lied to me about it, but definitely not ever going to go back there or recommend the place to anyone. Sad.
i couldn’t believe how nasty to me one of the women at this shop was. feel terrible for anyone that has to work around her cause wow! i would’ve come here again as well if not for her!
Took my les paul in for a set-up, and it was no longer playable when they were finished. Would not recommend.

Very helpful, has a lot of knowledge about instruments.
Richard provided me great service when I had an issue with a valve on my JP Sterling tuba. Great service and I highly recommend both DF Music and Packer company.
