Great neighborhood music shop, with a little bit of everything. Tha addition of a vinyl room was a fantastic idea, too!
Employees where nice and helpful..had slot of instruments for sale as well as old records and more

High prices. Low selection. Too bad they are the only local music store. Worth driving to guitar center

We have been going to Diane for two years. Before Diane, we dreaded going, but now we are happy to go. She’s gracious with us if we misunderstand or miss assignments and always pleasant.
I feel so lucky to have found this teacher. She is such a great teacher and so patient and sweet with my girls. We have been going to her for about 6 months now. My daughter is loving it, and I’ve been loving to watch her progress.
I was at the workshop that the 1 star reviewer, Judy, wrote about. Mrs. Norcott was her normal, extremely sweet self. She was trying to let the kids out one at a time, and she wanted to let my daughter out first because I was the first mom at the door, and my daughter was the youngest in the group. It only took a couple of minutes for all the kids to be released and I thought she acted extremely loving and nice to everyone.
We met Diane just over a year and a half ago. We were seeking lessons for our five year old who WANTED to play violin. We tried two other people before finding Diane. One of the other locations we tried said that he would take on our daughter, but she would likely quit and should try a different instrument.
After meeting Diane, we knew we found the perfect match. Even with the temperament of a five year old and then a six year old, Diane has kept her encouraged and motivated. She clearly cares about each of her students and works wonders reaching the youngest musicians.
When classes moved to online, Diane still managed to make our daughter’s ability grow. She has a healthy repertoire of songs and has developed tremendous confidence as she plays in front of crowds at recitals. The investment we are making in our daughter goes beyond just “music lessons”. The impact of her lessons with Diane is evident in her development of patience, commitment, dedication and hard work. We are so happy that we didn’t settle with just the first or the most convenient music teacher. Trials with several teacher led us to the perfect teacher.
Charter students beware! After 8 years of my boy’s training at the high desert’s best BJJ school;They decided to learn piano. We looked up her reviews and it looked like a wonderful studio. At the beginning she was very knowledgeable and helpful. A few weeks into the lessons her attitude just changed. Instructor (Diane) apologized so I thought it would bring about change. She is very talented but her treatment towards mychildren just got worst. She was very inconsistent on emails and theories and notes. Every time I showed up she was shifting the blame on me. When I asked her to help she stated that I always overstayed my lessons. I am not very sure how to put together a theory book without help so our lessons would start late.Then she would have students at our lesson times. She did not inform them they had overstayed their lessons. She was upset when I questioned whether we should knock or come in or be respectful like the workshops she was very frustrated. She sent me a note that seemed to be instructions but it was mostly letting me know why she was so upset . Even stating that I was taking up her lunch time. Since the studio is at her home there is no real instructions any where . It is a learn as you go and she dictates those. My children have trained Judo ,wrestling, and MMA but never encountering such a bad teacher. She also stated she had a friend who was a teacher at the boy’s charter and she knew that I can put in P .O’s required that covered their piano so at the end it was a total of over $2000 that miss Diane got paid for. To not teach my 2 boy’s for a month only because I confused attitude for passion. I assume the attitude was so I could cancel and she could take on a new student. I am not sure how many times she’s done this but if she’s done this to you please let me know. At the end I could not possibly continue to take my kids and endure one more month of her attitude.The boy’s dreaded going to her lessons. My teenager is one of the most respectful person. His Judo instructor, church pastor, and BJJ coach always ask him to lead and guide other children. We have attended these facilities for 8 years with no negative encounters. My son is joining Sherrif explores so I was in shock when she commented his attitude was so poor she would stop his lesson. Only because he informed her she asked him to use his fingers that way. I am aware that this looks like a big rant but I was informed to give as much detail as possible. So if you could avoid this experience you should. I am so afraid to invest into a vendor again. Mind you I was going to pay 500 for my sons lessons out of pocket. It was very unorganized because workshops were scheduled same week no warning. The purchase of my piano, printouts, and all the testing. App would not work so boy’s missed a week. When finally showed her screenshots of NO notes she agreed. She stated, ” She pays lots of money for program.” Next week I thanked her but she denied the issue. Made me out to be a procrastinator. So much more in that month and a half. This experience with music left a sour taste in my mouth but I pray that not all of the instructors are like this. That my boy’s do have an opportunity to learn piano. I can see that it is a prestigious instrument. We don’t quit but we do remove ourselves from unproductive situations.

Rafael is an amazing piano tuner. Professional and quick. Brought my old piano back to life in no time for a very reasonable price! I strongly recommend his services.
My wife and I have been very pleased with Rafael’s professional skill. His gracious and winsome personality is a marvelous complement to his musical expertise. Our pianos at home and at the Victor Valley Bible Church have appreciated his turning services.

Where to begin my 1984 Gibson flying V has literally been to hell and back.
It has been in storage for many years.
Upon inspecting the guitar it was literally beyond damaged. The neck pocket was cracked. It needed to be refreted.the bridge was trash.
I was very weary of putting money back into this guitar and having it fixed because of how bad the damage was. I handed Peterson guitars my Gibson and upon receiving it was shocked. The quality of work that he put into my guitar is beyond. It is as if he took my guitar and took care of it as his own. The fret job was beyond incredible, the electronics were wired to quality, the gluing of the neck pocket seems so strong that I may be able to stand on it not joking.
If you have any guitar that you would like to have life brought back into it do yourself a favor and call Peterson guitars you will not regret it. Best luthier I have ever dealt with hands down.
Also I have to add I own a Les Paul classic, Gibson SG, and this plays just as good if not better than both.
Chris Peterson builds great guitars his attention to detail is second to none excellent repair man and setups from the smallest repairs to a complete build the work is 5 star !!!
The most knowledgeable and professional guitar technician I’ve ever met. His attention to detail and quick turnaround is second to none. Easy to talk too and has so much knowledge that he offers freely. The only guitar tech I will use from here on out!

Address: 18811 Bear Valley Rd, Apple Valley, CA 92308 , Spring Valley Lake , California , United States
Great service people friendly staff willing to help.. and when they didn’t have the one I wanted in store they upgraded me to the one they did have at no extra cost..
Best branches
Got greeted walking in through the door. Was asked if I needed help, the wasn’t harassed. Very enjoyable especially around this time of the year.
I can usually find what I’m looking for. However if you shop around it’s almost certain you will find your item at a much lower price elsewhere. With that said, their brick and mortar locations are great to visit and see items first hand. Budget minded folks keep an eye out for the open box and refurbished items on sale. Many are good buys..
Little expensive for my taste, sales people have always been very helpful and friendly good place to go if you want quality electronics and have questions about them
Found my head set I needed lucky to have found my ear buds too. However the Verizon person was not in for more than an hour. So I could not wait.
Today’s visit the employee and manager were not very friendly. Not sure if I will be returning to this Best Buy again.
Too crowded
They didn’t have a technician I just wanted to hook up my phone to the car Bluetooth but I needed the geek squad yeah

I have bought several guns from these guys, doesn’t matter who I deal with, always a good experience here.Also, they have price matched or beat competitors prices on every firearm I’ve bought
Great products at a low price and great service! I would recommend you stop by over there!
I’ve always had a great shopping experience at 7th st pawn. I have purchased from them the last 4 years in a row and they have always been super friendly and helpful . The prices have always been great as well. If you are in the market for a fire arm or need a place to do a firearm transfer I highly recommend 7th street pawn!! Thanks Tom ,Ollie , and the rest of the crew !
Employees here are very good people.
Sorry the junk this country gets from China and other cheap asian made products aren’t good enough to pawn like the goods once made in America but their weapons
Crooks I would never go here again!!!
Horrible shop. They don’t proudly serve veterans and only care about making a buck. I went in with a friend who is in the military to buy a gun from him. He was on orders and they told us he couldn’t sell me a gun. They pretended to call the DoJ and after 30 seconds of “being on the phone” they told us the DoJ said no. So we left and called a different gun shop and they told us it would be no problem so I went there instead and bought the gun. This place is garbage and nobody with any respect for the military should give them any kind of business.
