I will never do business with them again. We had taken an alto sax in for pad repairs and it too over 2 months to be repaired and then were charged outrageously for it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I have personal issues with the owner\/operator<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Do not bring your instruments here for repair. I brought my violin in to be repaired and it was completely ruined by the worker. All it needed was for a small hairline crack to be filled. Instead, the repairman decided it would be better to sand off the varnish and stain which is impossible to replace and match to the original. Although I liked the store before this experience, I cannot forgive this kind of decision making. This would have been avoided if the repairman had simply told me how he planned on repairing the violin, but he did not.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Carl rented me a digital keyboard for five days while I was in town for a vacation. He charged fifteen dollars a day, but waived the first and last days because they were \u201cpartial.\u201d I\u2019m very grateful to him for accommodating me and trusting me with the instrument. His store seems cozy and well-stocked. It\u2019s located on the hill west of the old town and can easily be spotted (on the north side of 160) by the cluster of bright red roofs at the edge of the woods. Stop in and see what he can do for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For a small town, this place is amazing. The owner knows so much and has helped me as an artist. Nice instruments for good prices. But this time I only needed some drum sticks, that where less than expected, I may add.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Musical equipment is overpriced amazon deals from Christmas. Owner is a nice guy, but was clearly just trying to sell more expensive items over cheaper arguably better ones. \u201cHandmade\u201d strings snapped within the hour, I have a hard time believing the Ernieball strings would have any problem. Sadly though I listened to the worker who assured me that they were the worst. Overall I recommend just driving to Durango you\u2019d end up saving money and not being treated as if you haven\u2019t been playing guitar correctly your entire life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Had my mind set on buying a new piano keyboard and supporting this local music store in Durango and to know that the workers (maybe even the owners) don\u2019t know how to treat their customers is very disappointing. When I walked in I wasn\u2019t greeted, even after a few minutes I wasnt asked how I was doing or IF I NEEDED HELP FINDING ANYTHING. I know what you\u2019re thinking \u201cmaybe he was busy\u201d nooooo! Because there was another worker there and no one else was in the store. I wasn\u2019t addressed or anything until I was about to leave. I know I\u2019m an adult and maybe I should have just asked him myself but if I\u2019m gonna spend a few hundred dollars at your store then I\u2019d expect to be treated like it let alone be WELCOMED INTO THE STORE! But my question is why? Did I not looked like a serious buyer? Was it cause I was wearing a mask? Or was it cause I was brown? My questions are valid and justified through the actions of the workers. Sad to know that people are treated differently for whatever reason. Such a bad impression on the community and very disappointing experience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sadly disappointed. I stopped here because of the great reviews for some coffee on the way to Utah. I ordered 2 lattes and the milk was burnt which ruined the overall drink. I watched the barista level the coffee grounds off with her finger.. the wait time was a bit extreme for 2 drinks when it wasn\u2019t too busy. Definitely not worth $5\/drink.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Been there 5 times now and every time we receive very poor customer service we ate in the cafe and we had ordered to go out the door and she closed down and refused to give us what we ordered to go every time I\u2019ve gone there it\u2019s just extremely poor customer service they\u2019re extremely slow it should never take 40 minutes to make a coffee breakfast was over by the time I received my coffee just like I said the prioritizing is way out of whack they don\u2019t know how to take care of the customer somebody needs to give them some direction and that place is going to stay in business why should I continue to go no matter how good the food is if the service is so extremely poor<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m writing this review to inform others and the management that the shopping carts in this store are very dangerous for children. They are top heavy and tip easily. Several months ago a cart tipped with my son in the child seat and he flipped on to his head. Today, the cart tipped again, luckily with no one in it but it hit my son as it tipped onto it\u2019s side. Now I hear from our babysitter that the cart has also tipped when she was in the store, with a small child hitting his head. I asked the staff \u2018how often does this happen?\u2019 and got: \u2018I\u2019ve never seen it\u2019. Well it\u2019s clear that some of the staff have seen this before and at some point there will be a serious injury. Management: if you replace the carts I\u2019ll change this to 5 stars.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Great customer service! A last-minute broken pickup in my guitar left me scrambling to get it fixed before an upcoming weekend of gigs. I dropped in to this store not knowing what to expect. Brian and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful, even going as far as to call other shops to find the pickup I needed. Brian did a great job on the installation. I was playing my guitar the very next night!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I stopped by with my 12 year old daughter looking for a bass guitar. The staff was friendly, attentive, made sure we had space and time to play a number of instruments, and checked in with us just enough to make sure we were okay. For a music store, it was a really comfortable experience. They had a really nice selection of used instruments and gear in decent shape. Now I have to convince my kid we can only buy one bass instead of the four that she liked.
\nI\u2019m an old-school bassist and a lefty, and worked at a music shop for years when I wasn\u2019t gigging. I felt right at home at this place.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Staff is a great bunch of guys who have a grasp of what\u2019s what about musical instruments. It used to be a good place to sell your used appointment. I would give you a a decent price but nowadays they won\u2019t even give you a price better than what a pawn shop will give you. I\u2019ve noticed in last couple of years their prices have gone up. They don\u2019t negotiate the prices, which puts customer at a disadvantage Because condition is a huge part in what you pay. I will still stop in and check their inventory. But not as often as I used to.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Very knowledgable and helpful<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Great shop! You can expect to pay a little more than average for used fear here, but they are VERY thorough with inspections before they buy. You can trust you will get good gear. Use as a last resort for selling though. They will give you next to nothing for your used gear. They have to make money right. Overall, staff is very friendly and helpful and new gear rolls in pretty consistently which is good and bad news for those of us with incorrigible G.A.S. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I contacted the store online before buying the product online to make sure the store could deliver it within my timeframe. They assured me they would.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s the eve of their 2nd missed shipping opportunity and I won\u2019t receive the gear in time. I had to purchase the item new and pay for overnight shipping to make sure I got it in time.<\/p>\n

Between the purchase and now, the store had gone radio silent, despite my sending an additional email requesting information.<\/p>\n

The upshot is that I purchased the gear through a reputable online dealer and will have my gear by Wednesday (today is Monday), rather than whenever the staff of this store decided to get around to it.<\/p>\n

Btw\u2026 \u201cSorry dude\u201d doesn\u2019t cut it. Hope the store manager processes my refund with a greater sense of urgency and professionalism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nice selection of instruments. Prices are on the high side for used equipment. But what really cemented my decision to never go back is that, of the five employees in the store, not one approached me to see if I needed any help. Save your time, money and effort. Go to a different music store.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Was just in the store upgrading my daughters amp not realizing you close at 4pm. Innocently thought you were open till 5 atleast like most places. Besides the miss understanding with hours. You don\u2019t turn off the lights on your customers while they\u2019re about to make a purchase. I come here alot and have always been treated with respect. But turning the lights out on us was a pretty low and rude move. Basically felt like you were all saying FU to us!
\nIf you can play or sing in front of an audience you should atleast have the confidence to make an announcement that you\u2019re about to close ahholes! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LOVE THIS PLACE<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Breakfast sandwich was great and super fast service. Prices are good as well. Really peaceful place to grab a good bite to eat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Deli turkey sandwich on a warm bun is so good. Drinks are very pricey but food is good.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Needs a waitress,and a little bit faster service,not a \u201corder her\u201d sign and this place will flourish.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The food wasn\u2019t bad but it wasn\u2019t good either. I had a burrito and the meat was tough and not flavorful. I wouldn\u2019t stop there again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The \u201cpanaderia\u201d was exactly what I was looking for \u2013 authentic Mexican sweet breads. The wi-fi and the delicious quesadillas were an added bonus. Friendly service, clean and quick; I will definitely be back when in the area.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
They got our order wrong, then they tried to overcharge us. Food was alright but the wait very long for sandwiches.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
We got lunch around 11:30. We waited an hour for 2 orders of huevos rancheros.. when we got our order it was literally just 2 soggy corn tortillas, 2 hard eggs and some beans. No cheese whatsoever or chili. I could have cooked that at home in less than an hour.Never going back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
There donuts are cold, hard, and full of grease. Tastes like they made them days ago and refried them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
