Mountain Music School has been the best decision we\u2019ve made for our son\u2019s piano lessons. The staff is super knowledgeable and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a place for themselves or their children.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I can\u2019t say enough good things about Mountain Music School! Over the past two years, my son and I have had a fantastic time learning piano here. The instructors are top-notch, making each lesson both fun and educational. The school\u2019s welcoming and supportive environment has really helped us thrive as musicians. I enthusiastically recommend Mountain Music School to anyone interested in learning music \u2013 it\u2019s been an absolute joy!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When you are ready for a Martin acoustic,this is the place to go.The staff knows their product, and they won\u2019t be happy , until you are happy.My guitar of a lifetime was the Martin HD-28.If you are looking for a fine instrument, Richard,Tom,and the rest of the Union Grove staff,will be there to help you. I\u2019ve bought a Martin vintage 12 string,and my new HD-28 in the last two years. Great instruments,and a great store.Thanks for being in Santa Cruz !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hard to find a cozy shop like this in other cities. The staff were really cool, and my friend got to test out one of his dream guitars. Have some strange string instruments and a good selection of pedals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Very knowledgeable staff. The prices are a little higher than other stores around for the same item, but they also have more higher end items. Almost exclusively guitars, very little of any other instrument.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Staff is always friendly. Wish there was a little more selection.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I really tried to give this place a chance. When I ask for help, the staff gives me the distinct feeling that I am wasting their time. The selection is not good, and quite frankly I did not feel welcomed any of the times I have gone there.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019m an older woman who plays electric guitar. Have purchased top-line new guitars there and sold some equipment there, and they did the job. But I have never been comfortable there. The boss is angry, curt and dismissive and the staff doesn\u2019t seem relaxed or happy. There are unwritten rules about how long you can stay, what you can touch etc. Not for me any more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Look, I get it. You\u2019re right in the middle of downtown where all the vagrants pass through, but the attitude has got to go. I used to occasionally stop in here whenever I needed strings, picks, etc. And every time I felt like I wasn\u2019t welcome. Avoid like the plague<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The dude that works in this place is super unpleasant and over priced. He asks me for my ID which is fine then asks me my age then tells me to take my face mask off (covid) I\u2019m 36 years old. I understand asking for ID but his attitude and implications of me being under 18 years old is insane.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Went in the store once, never again. When your business is \u201cDiscount Smokes\u201d and you can\u2019t even get that right you don\u2019t deserve my business. Bought 2 pks ciggies. Sign on the smokes is $7.14. Rang it up, $8.80. So I say to the guy \u201cThey\u2019re $7.14\u201d Scans again,and again $8.80. So I ask, why does it say $7.14? \u201cI don\u2019t know. Scans yet again, and what a surprise, $8.80. Now, I am disabled , in pain, and depend on others to take me to the store. I did not have the energy to get into it with the drone I was dealing with, got a pk ($for $8.80!!!) and left. Gifting 2 stars since they were open and did in fact sell smokes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Rude. That\u2019s all I can say. And they have close to nothing. Worth the drive to Santa Cruz where you have much better options.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sylvan is more like a museum of fine guitars than a shop. They have the best collection of acoustic guitars I have ever seen. They also do amazing work. Albert Markasky is a master craftsman. If you want your guitar set up perfectly, go to Sylvan.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Only a review on accessibility. I have been looking for a new \u201cserious\u201d guitar for some months. I\u2019ve called three times to hear they are booked up. No thanks. Must be nice. Doesn\u2019t seem they are interested in returning to business or selling guitars.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I brought my family violin and bow to this shop. The violin was a student violin but the bow was very nice. We got the violin back but was told that the bow broke and it had been thrown away. We never got our bow back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Walked in by accident while visiting Santa Cruz just because I love guitar shops and trying guitars in general. What a fortunate discovery ! After a couple of minutes looking at various second hand guitars, Dave (the owner I guess) engaged in a very friendly and somehow nicely surrealist discussion and ended up letting me try a few of his old Martins from the 50s and 60s which obviously I couldn\u2019t afford but it was one of these great moments meeting random people who happen to be great persons. For the mood and the guitars but obviously for the people inside this shop is definitely a great place for musicians.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lousy customer service. every time I go in there to shop, I get kicked out of rooms, or asked to move from a certain spot. I\u2019m a customer too!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tried to sell some guitars and other music equipment here on consignment. When it had been a couple months and nothing had sold, I went in to get the equipment back and sell it on craigslist. They had \u201cmisplaced\u201d both of my guitar cases and all three guitar cables, which they gave me a little bit of cash for as a consolation. They did sell my digitech but did not pay me for almost two months from when it sold. Some of the employees are super helpful and this may be a good music store in some aspects but the lack of integrity in the consignment department made me feel obligated to let people know to avoid it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is the greatest music store. Although most guitars are lower end,they also have the Lowest prices for a few high end guitars.There are real pearls to be found by a buyer who knows their Gibson,Fender ,and Taylor guitars.There won\u2019t be many of them,but I got lucky with each one of those names.The staff couldn\u2019t be more helpful. What a fun place to visit ,if you enjoy playing guitar music.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve recently moved close to Santa cruz and needed some stuff for my guitar. There are few great music stores in Santa Cruz but I came to starving musicians. They are in downtown SC and parking is easy.
\nThey have a great selection of instruments, specially electric guitars. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Prices are also fair. Definitely recommend this place.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I take voice lessons here. Expect a bit of bleed from one practice room to the next. Nice display of instruments. Very friendly & knowledgeable proprietor.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Unfriendly customer service. wouldn\u2019t let me try a amplifier, and told me if that if I had the $1500 then he would let me try it. I have never experienced this at any guitar store. I have shopped here in the past and it has always been a mediocre experience. the man who works behind the counter always has a mopey attitude and their products are usually priced over normal retail. Spend your money somewhere else (Sylvan Music, Midtown Guitar Company).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
