These guys are awesome and great to deal with. I will be a returning customer for sure!

I mean, come on! With so few music stores around, especially music stores that don't deal with anything other than school band service, A Max is simply tremendous! The selection is great, and they're expanding. The customer service is beyond anything you see anywhere else today. I was just stunned at how good they were as soon as I walked through the door! I'll also add that they will cater to almost any kind of musician, at any age, for any purpose! You just don't see that anymore! I highly recommend making the drive if you're a tad outside the area. Keep in mind, it's a small business and, if they're busy, it might be a second or two until they get to you but, believe me, they know you're there and can't wait to actually talk to you! Keep doing it A Max! You're the old school music store we need back in all our neighborhoods! read more

Great long standing music store with personable people. The prices for having work done, at least on guitar, were much more affordable than elsewhere. I got a baritone set up there and it plays so well, even with the heavy strings. They have a pretty solid collection of instruments and gear for sale too. read more

They take good care of our grandchildren's band instruments. I would recommend here for anything related to music.

Excellent customer service. They go above and beyond. They also have a wide range of new and used options. Also, I was looking for a Nord Stage 3 keyboard which is hard to find. And thankfully, they are also a Nord dealer. The store is small. And they have so much I don't know how they do it. But they know exactly where everything is and are very helpful. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Really positive energy place to shop. read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I went in looking for some Information about getting into acoustic guitars. They were very helpful and not pushy with a sale. They were able to go above and beyond in giving me the best deal. I'm always happy to do business with a family owned business that looks to put their customers first. read more

I'm all about the local instrument dealers. In a former life, I was a musician and I still dabble a bit on occasion. This place, though, is kinda creepy. The entire store is crammed (and I do mean completely full! It's hard to even walk around) with cheapo Asian import instruments or really rough used stock. I don't think they're a dealer for any of the better brands at all, though you could probably tell that by walking in the door. The prices are cheap, but instruments are like strippers, you usually get what you pay for. The ones here are either has-beens (used to death) or never-was-es (not made well enough to play effectively). You'd never pay for a stripper placed in either of those categories, right? Maybe after a few beers? Then why would you consider spending on those a musical instrument classified that way? If you're a serious musician, go somewhere else. But then, if you're a serious musician, you wouldn't've come here in the first place. read more

The seller (al,) is a crook! I bought a Les Paul from him on ebay and it had a bad neck. He agreed to take it back, which he did. I shipped it back and he said he would refund the money $799.99. but after two attempts from paypal to his bank, they came back NSF! AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COSTS. FRAUD ALERT!! RUN THE OTHER WAY!!! DON'T USE HIS EBAY SITE EITHER, HE HAS THE SAME GUITAR I JUST BOUGHT LISTED TWICE. FRAUD!! read more

First visit the store and a bit crammed though the staff was excellent. Julie knows her product especially drums and was a pleasure to deal with and purchased a snare drum. Thumbs up! The Duncans from Middlefield. read more

Great staff. She answered every question I had. I love to support small businesses and they are willing to match prices you find online, which many local shops are unable to do. A great opportunity to shop small. read more

We have had nothing but excellent service and attention! They have always been super helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful. When we have needed a referral for a teacher, etc., the referrals have been excellent. Zero complaints!!! read more

Visited this store to purchase a piano for my mom recently and was really impressed with the new ownership. Julie is just the most knowledgeable person when it comes to piano's and instruments. Thank you so much for a smooth delivery too. Dawna read more
