Everyone is easy to talk to and friendly. They carry a wide assortment of musical equipment. Typically geared for the student musician.
Do not let them store your debit card on file. I have an unauthorized charge on my account. ONLY PAY THEM THROUGH THE WEBSITE, NOT OVER THE PHONE.
Pretty great selection of instruments, however I felt extremely awkward with the staff and felt like my questions were intrusions. You could chalk this up to me just being anxious, but I would have much more appreciated an employee who could recommend stuff to me, and willing to help me find what I’m looking for. I’ll be going to A different shop to get what I need
Awful service. Bought strings for my guitar, and since im not very good at putting them on and they were the most expensive strings, i left my guitar for them to put the strings on for me bc they said theyd do it for free and that they would call me within a day or so. I waoted almsot a week and figured that i must have missed the call and went there to get my guitar. They hadnt even touched it and told me that it would be several more days before they could get to it. I just went ahead and took my guitar. Never getting my business again im just gonna go to guitar center.
2. Shuffield Music Company
Address: 610 Main St, Arkadelphia, AR 71923 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Asked for a used guitar case and they brought out two ..one being the one my best friend LOVED! The energized and positive guy that works there was great!
Love the selection of all the music equipment. Staff is super friendly! They always treat me like family
Let’s play some town is wonderful customer service.
The staff are friendly, the products seem pretty good, and it’s generally a good place to fulfill your guitar-based needs. They also sell things beyond guitars, like music books for brass, percussion, woodwind, and other string instruments, which would definitely be helpful to anyone looking to learn. From my experience, don’t be afraid to ask seemingly stupid questions; Quattlebaum is a safe place for a beginner to reveal their lack of knowledge.
Small, quiet, local run music store. Good prices and owned by a knowledgeable friendly man who is happy to answer your questions. I’ll definitely be returning.
Very friendly and helpful. Really nice place .
Very rude to my wife and all she did was ask a queston please don’t do business with these people we don’t need rude people in this town.
Great home town store
They are selling stolen property.
4. Beautiful Noise Music
Address: 213 W Arch Ave, Searcy, AR 72143 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
The most honest, knowledge, helpful, and kind music guy you can find! He knows his and your stuff!
Jason is extremely knowledgeable and is very helpful
Beautiful noise is the only place I’ve taken my instruments to be worked on in the last 20 years. Great work and affordable
I would like to give more Stars.however it is very small and only a handful of merchandise.they didn’t even have nylon strings.
Sry guys music store ? Not
5. Saied Music Co
Address: 4300 Rogers Ave #55, Fort Smith, AR 72903 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Great place for a drummer looking for sticks and heads! Good variety at a price that unbeatable. Great workers and a cool atmosphere
The people in the store were very helpful and they were friendly. They were very knowledgeable about the music that I was looking for
People was very friendly and helpful great personality
They are very friendly and have good service. I believe they are high on their prices.
They had the components I needed and were very helpful.
It’s good quality music and instrument accessories but their a little costly
I showed them the kind of guitar strings I needed specifically not knowing entirely the name because they’re the experts right? I said I needed bullet strings for two fender guitars… they sold me a pack of “strings with the ball on the end” and when I opened the package they weren’t what I needed. A musical instrument store where the workers don’t know anything about musical instruments. Don’t waste your time or money or money, you’ll just be gaslit.
I bought a keyboard DGX-640 from this store which is cost $920. Then I realized the keyboard was not brand new and there was no box at all. Later, I did a research online, (Ebay, Amazon..etc.) and found that the original price was only $599 including everything. Most of the keyboards they are selling are not brand new at all. Be ware!
6. Saied Music Company
Address: 2921 Lakewood Village Dr, North Little Rock, AR 72116 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Very knowledgeable staff. Good prices and decent selection. Had a custom order for an amp not in stock and had zero issues. Made some new friends while I was at it. Highly recommend.
Saied Music Company is so professional and helpful! Mike was so pleasant and professional to speak with. I am so glad that our school uses this company
Good for new strings but a small selection of equipment.
Nice, clean store with nice stuff. A helpful staff that watch u coming in and out. Slightly high priced, but good quality merchandise.
Good variety. Little bit of everything
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.
The absolute worst store ive ever been in will not be back
Not very much guitar stuff. Didn’t even have strap studs.
7. Mountain View Music

God Bless America. .
Fun and nice
Very cool place me and my friend went here but they are very strict about masks and things.
Great place
Rude and very hateful people. I have been going here for more than 10 years and I will never go back, and be treated in such a rude manner.
8. Music Center
Address: 2809 W 28th Ave, Pine Bluff, AR 71603 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
So I had a Schecter guitar with a crackly output jack. Sustainiac/active pickups means 2 9v batteries, and THAT means a really hard to find, 9 pin battery switching jack. Not only did Arkansas Musicworks have this part, but I received it & had it soldered into my guitar 3 days later! Now that’s GREAT SERVICE.
I’m from Kentucky, so I’ve never actually been to the store, but I ordered online last month. I ordered some Tama cymbal sleeves. The shipping was fast, and my product is great! Great company!
A great music store with a large backstock of guitar parts. Most sell fenders and gretsch guitars. their amp selection is great as well. They also sell percussion, piano, and general music item’s. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable
Nice place the staff was really helpful. A little small.
Didn’t have what i needed. Store was stocked with a ton of great gear. Seemed like a great staff.
Friendly and knowledgeable
I had a very unpleasant experince with this place. My daughter’s saxophone needed to be fixed, so I took it to this store. Well almost 7 weeks passed and they never called me. When I called them to see if it was ready, they said it was ready. I went to pick it up just to learn that it was not fixed. They were very unpolite the whole time. They said it was fixed when I knew it wasn’t and there was no receipt/details of the work they “did” to it. So they game me a number to call. So I called the number, which is the place who they work with to fix the instruments in Fayatteville. They said they had no record of our instrument. So basically they never sent my daughters saxophone to them and they never called me to let me know what was going on. I understand sometimes things happen, but they basically never accepted they made a mistake. I was very polite with them, eventhough I was not happy about this whole situation. I will not be going to this place again, or reccomend it to anybody. And by the way, one of the owners, who has blonde/reddish hair, is one of the most inpolite person I ever met. We’ve been going to this place for years and if he is there, we know it’s not going to be good. He is rude and has poor customer service skills.
I was visiting Arkansas for a short time and had a last-minute need for an accessory for my USB microphone. I tried to call them numerous times over two days and no one ever answered the phone, nor did anyone ever return my call despite my leaving a message on the answering machine. So I risked it and drove to the store (because they were the only thing around the area), and when I got to the store I could see that unless I was a guitar player or drummer, I was probably out of luck. I just needed a wind sock for my microphone. They had ONE product that fit that description – with four socks, and all small. I finally had to settle on getting a popscreen instead. I honestly think in my particular situation I would’ve been better off ordering something online or going to BestBuy.
They werent interested in helping enless you were buying brand new.
10. Randy’s Music
Address: 146 E Main St, Batesville, AR 72501 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Randy is teaching me Guitar. He is very knowledgeable and make it fun. His store small but he is willing to help the best he can. Randy is an awesome guy.
Love it, amazing place and a great teacher.
I took a guitar in to get some work done on it and some new strings and some accessories. I am very pleased with the results Randy made in such a short time. Very knowledgeable. Will be returning
Great store
Not a super big store with lots of options but they have the things I need
Selection consists of mainly guitars, basses and a few country oriented instruments. Limited selection.
Biggest piece of trash you’ll ever meet in your life.
11. Big Event Music
Address: 149 E Grand Ave, Hot Springs, AR 71901 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
The staff was cool, and they were a HUGE help finding exactly what I needed!
How late are y’all open today
Very Helpful! Thank you for your service to our community.
Does it have a recording studio? I want to make a song
These guys are always willing to help and are really knowledgeable .
Holy cow. I didn’t even know this place was open until I went inside. Not very inviting and the whole building needs renovations. Seemed very trashy. Almost made me feel like the items there have less value just because of how badly ran the building is.
Not enough inventory
I bought everything from guitar cases to a JBL top of line PA from them before I found out they are totally BOGUS! Sold me used merchandise as new, then got an attitude when I called them on it! Cuss me out when you’re a thiefing liar? I don’t think so! I wouldn’t buy a guitar pick from these people!!!
12. Valley Piano Co
Address: 3515 W Main St, Russellville, AR 72801 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
I love these guys! Great products @ competitive prices and very knowledgeable of products they sell. 5 + stars.
Brian and Valley Piano are a Russellville institution, and even if you don’t have a baby grand to tune, you know you want a ukulele for your folksy teen with the great voice to put on their YouTube channel . They have a sweet, black, v-head Dean electric a-la Pantera I’ve been eyeballing too… Valley Piano does it all. Right. .
Great store and large selection..
Great people, a very old store
I went into to buy a guitar. Very small selection
Lots of sheet music and DVDs but it is all on the computer today. Wonderful people. I wish them well!
My visit was to test the integrity of an electric guitar I had. Spoke to the guy behind the counter. (The one with the gray streaked goatee). Told him I was preparing to sell it via Facebook, and all I want to do is see if it sounds as it should. He said it was ok I was like great thanks. The buyer was from outta town and was shopping for guitar supplies. She had just bought amp still needed a cord possibly more. Asked her to meet up there since she was just down the road. She wanted to go in do to the rain. Instantly he started ranting that he’s a business man a professional and I was shady for what I had done. I was very polite. My reply ( I’m sorry I brought you a customer sure she meet up with me to buy a guitar for cheap but she still may need something) she was there for his childish act. ( she replied I do need a cord) He didn’t even bother to respond to her. He looks at me says someone smells bad like cigarettes… Wow 0 stars for your sir. Where’s your public relations at. Your welcome for that sell.
13. Palmer Violin Shop
Address: 1043 W Walnut St, Rogers, AR 72756 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Went there a while ago to fix up my brother’s cello so I could use it. He was very helpful and got it done fairly quickly! Would really recommend h to anyone in need of that type of service.
Beautiful! The smell is great, the instrument quality is astonishing, and He fixed my violin in less than an hour! If you participate in an orchestra, I would definitely head over there!!
They help you eith tuning yoir instrument
I only logged on to ask if this music store sells or had violins for sale. Can anyone answer this for me ? This is the closest music store but also an hour away and I don’t want to drive there for no reason. So I’d appreciate if someone could give a response and lmk if they do have violins. If not then anything close to a violin such as a viola. Thank you. (:
Billing issues on return violin but was promptly corrected with great costumer service
Good rental prices
14. Dulcimer Shoppe
Address: 1104 Sylamore Ave, Mountain View, AR 72560 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Maybe the best mountain dulcumers you can buy. Super friendly staff. Get music books and gifts.
They make and sell McSpadden mountain dulcimers at this shop. Beautiful instruments. Friendly knowledgeable staff always willing to help.
We first found this place when we were on vacation in Mountain View,AR. I love that they make the instruments on premises. They also sale and do repairs there. Every time we go back to that town we must visit.
Nice place to see musical instruments being made. I took one star off as cashier didn’t know what was playing on speakers as we were looking through cds as we wanted that song.
Beautiful instruments. Nice gifts. Hands on.
Love, love, love this store.
15. Independent Music Services Inc
Address: 9851 Brockington Rd #6, Sherwood, AR 72120 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Took excellent care of my daughters flute, went over regular and preventative care, and backs up their work with a warranty. I wish I had found this place sooner.
Very nice place
Very helpful, very professional.
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!
16. Record Rack
Address: 2801 S Olive St, Pine Bluff, AR 71603 , Secastilla , Arkansas , United States
Loveee this store!!! I visit very often with my husband and we both really enjoy the owner because he is super chill and laid back very nice and very helpful for any questions we have! If I lived closer I would probably be there daily or try and work there!! Lol!
I’ll never forget my time working there. The owner Pat, should get more recognition for keeping a business like this going for as long as he’s done Especially since the internet makes things easier to get. I know A LOT of people enjoyed getting music earlier than the release date. The musical history in the store is nothing short of amazing. Always loved the extra mile that Pat would go to get you the music you were looking for (As long as it was available somewhere.)
This store is a staple of our city.
Awesome store been going here for many many years
I’m so glad they sales ticket, for the major attractions.
Good
Love this place. If u love good music and want the original cds n not the edited versions then this is the place to go. Also the only place like that in Pine Bluff.
It not all the names says. You would think they would have more records then anything else. And this is not a store to bring kids in to.
