Derrick was really helpful and gave great advice! Thanks for the positive experience.
Awesome!
Great DJ services!
Love going there and stuff but idk if it was one of the employees or just a customer, but this older guy walked up to me and my friend and made a really rude comment about our colored hair “did you wake up late at a party or something?” How the actual heck would anyone think that is an ok thing to say?????
That was one of my favorite music stores to go to and now I’m not so sure, if it were an employee who sayid that. I’m pretty sure it was because he walked to the back after that. If you have colored hair and you take hate comments too seriously, be careful.
In the late 90s early 2000’s this was an awesome store. Used CD’s, Ppl who loved to talk about old bands and music culture, It was different. Mind you, they still have great instrument selection, and fair prices for a small business. Some staff is decent, some have the personality of a week old gym sock. I’d say if your local, pick up your kids first instrument there and support local small business. Idk if the lead dude from x-crush still works there, but he was awesome. but it’s a lottery.
I remember your Christmas store at the Mall always used to eye the Bass in the box and now i am playing that a Jazz Bass i bought i am now in Tennessee so thanks for helping with my dreams
My family came in just a few minutes ago and they were very ride to us. My boyfriend, who is normally a very strong person, just walked out of this place in tears because they made him feel embarrassed. Smh. Rude rude employees who act like musical elites.
So you want to call on the dude behind me in line and not even greet me or tell me to have a nice day? Poor way to run a business. The old white guy at the front is rude and inconsiderate. He chose to serve the man behind me in line, likely because I’m a woman, so congrats on losing not only my 42$ purchase I got refunded today; but all future purchases from my multi instrumentalist husband that has been a customer here for over 6 years. I’ll buy from Amazon before giving my money to rude old men. Do better. Hope it was worth it for that dudes 12 dollars worth of strings.

Chris is WONDERFUL! My son has some special needs and has been taking drum lessons for almost 2 years. Chris is patient and kind and my son looks forward every week to going to lessons!
I have been taking guitar lessons with Chris K Music for over 2 years now. I can truly say I have been very happy with the results. I can play and sing plenty of songs. He teaches and lets you use your own creativity at the same time. I really appreciate that. He makes it fun! I look forward to each lesson. Thanks Chris!

We have always had the best service at Carl’s. They are always friendly and helpful. Recently they rushed an instrument cleaning for us so we wouldn’t be charged more by the rental company, and when we picked it up, quickly fixed another of our instruments while we waited. I have stopped shopping around to see if there are better prices elsewhere because their unbeatable service is worth whatever they charge!
Travis took time out of his busy week to take me as a walk-in and fix a 3rd valve on a sousaphone. He did a fantastic and thorough job, and took the time to explain everything he did. Top notch – I highly recommend Carls Pro Band!
Carl and Travis have the premier shop for musical instrument repair and sales. Top players from all over the country rely on them for their experience and expertise. Honest hard work and skilled craftsmanship are in short supply these days, it’s refreshing to visit Carl and Travis and see those attributes still in play.
Very knowledgeable very friendly. They treat us beginners with the same respect concert veterans
Super helpful and upfront with tactful explanation of options for the work needing done

This place > guitar center The equipment sounded great, the prices were fantastic and the customer service was astounding. If I could give it more stars, I would
Bought several instruments from them. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Before you buy that cheap flute off craigslist. Give these guys a chance. They might be able to help you out.
Great place to have your music Instrument worked on!
Average music store
Good prices
The website says its open till 5 on Saturday not 3
I had to have my horn sent to Alton because this tech in Centralia is discriminatory against people with disabilities. Had to drive two and a half hours 200 plus miles and no discount for a simple repair I will never use them again thinking about taking legal action.
Good stuff just could be better with details and price
