Ignacio was very knowledgeable, attentive and patient in helping us navigate the many selections! We appreciate that he was honest to help us find the right piano and not to upsell. The entire experience was easy, smooth and stress-free. The showroom was clean, beautiful with many piano options that you could test. You could smell the wood finishes as you walk in and there is a great kids play area to keep young kids entertained! Highly recommend Greene Music for your piano purchase and thank you Ignacio for the great experience!

From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming and knowledgeable -- which made such an important purchase feel easy and enjoyable. Ignacio took the time to understand what I was looking for, patiently answered all my questions, and guided me through several options so I could really hear and feel the differences between instruments. His expertise was clear, and I truly appreciated his honesty and attention to detail. He made sure I felt confident in my decision rather than rushed. The showroom was beautiful, the selection was excellent, and the entire process -- from choosing the piano to delivery and setup -- was smooth and professional. If you're in the market for a piano, I highly recommend this place and especially Ignacio. Exceptional service, quality instruments, and people who genuinely care about helping you find the perfect fit. Five stars all the way!

Went to another music store, which shall not be named, and was not greeted very kindly- workers at that music store were very quiet, I wasn't even greeted at the door and had to make my presence noticed and say good morning- to them. The experience here at Harper's Music Store was different however. It's been years since I've been here- last time I was here, I recall getting a synthetic reed for my baritone sax. The owner, Steve, greeted me as I walked through the door and asked me what my needs were. I told him I was looking for a beginner AMP and first showed me some small, cheap options. I then asked him that I wanted something with a little more features to it and then showed me a Marshall MG30FX and a Spider IV Line 6 75 W. I decided to go with the Line 6 as the presets and customizability of the AMP was what persuaded me in buying it. I'm not sure if he works here too but Michael helped me in further solidifying my purchase of the Spider AMP over the Marshall because of the same reasons, so thank you to you too Michael! Purchasing my Fender Starcaster here was a breeze- I traded in a guitar for the Starcaster and that process was very straight forward- just show your ID and Steve'll take a look online to see how much it is priced and give you a fair offer like he did with me. Overall, if you're looking for musical needs, going to Harper's Music Store is a great idea. The customer service let alone is really what knocks this place out of the park. I'll be coming here again if I need anything else.

Mr. Dennis G. understood the urgency of the situation and kindly assisted us in repairing the cello.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!
