When he broke the bridge, we were able to bring the instrument in that day to swap for another. When he decided he'd rather play the violin, we decided to rent from the school for now since he's being a bit fickle. We had no trouble cancelling our cello contract, and we were able to get his violin supplies at the same time. They had to order his shoulder rest, but it came in the next day. Everyone we've dealt with, whether reps at Sunnyside or employees in the store, has been pleasant and helpful.

I dropped in this music store in Kokomo one Saturday and I am so glad I did. I really liked the…read morefact that these gentlemen were friendly, polite and knowledgeable and they did not talk down to me, despite me being a woman on the elderly side and probably not like their usual customers in search of a high-end acoustic guitar. This has not been my experience in some guitar shops I have visited in my 55 years of playing the guitar. I told the gentleman who assisted me that I was interested in buying a smaller-bodied acoustic guitar, most likely a Martin. He showed me several and did not rush me as I played them. He kindly answered all my questions and gave me some great information about the various models. Then he brought out a very special guitar - a Martin 00-28 Modern Deluxe. The MD is a great guitar anyway, but this one in particular was stunning, with beautiful silking on the top and a gorgeous bookmatched back. When I played it and heard the sound of it, so full and resonant coming out of that small body, I just fell head over heels in love with it! Although I looked at and played a couple more, I knew that guitar was THE ONE. It cost somewhat more than I expected to spend, but this store has both layaway and several financing options, and these guys made it happen for me so that I walked out and went home with this incredible guitar. I can't say enough good things about these guys. I have owned so many guitars over the years (I couldn't even count how many) but this guitar is the love of my guitar life. I'm so glad I decided to stop in here that day. Highly recommended!!

Instead the stomate came in well below what was anticipated and they gave me several different options to choose from. They provided a loaner for free since the repair wouldn't be done before school and even tried to give me two reeds for free, which I insisted on paying for. The prices are fair and they've got a great variety of instruments and gear for the size of storefront they have. The staff is top notch. I had only been in there 3 times and they called me by name when I walked through the door. This is a gem of a place for our town.

In the following years, Northside has proved they have no desire to maintain quality service, hold to any professionalism or attention to detail, nor any attempt at remedying serious flaws even after my rather pointed Google review, which added up more likes than over 1000 other reviews I've done; seems to me this place takes full advantage of customers. This is too obvious in Northside getting most of their negative Google reviews removed. How could any business go for ignoring legitimate complaints rather than responding and proving their goals to improve? It is beyond me. But I digress. We paid very handsomely for a Kawaii K50E Anniversary Edition studio upright. It is still a beauty! Cannot fault the Japanese as the world's greatest craftsman but I certainly can Northside for their full failure to keep to any warranty needs and hilarious mess in tuning services. The first winter as the air dried out, two treble clef keys started making quite audible strained cracking noises during play. I took to Northside's polite pawn sent over still went behind the ears. After she did things and worked the other keys, she admitted she did not know how to fix the issues. Well maybe I'm too aggressive for basic customer support on expensive goods but it felt odd to pay for an incomplete job yet we did, reminded Northside to please send out a capable human for the next tune to sort out the odd tink noises. To this day I can't fathom why you'd rave about what an amazing piano you just sold me and months later send out your tuning tyke who is not trained for the very piano you championed! Here's where it gets good, we were informed we could not use another tuning service in order to maintain the factory warranty through Northside. At the same time, they mentioned then would, then never did use the warranty when the gold finish rubbed off on a pedal. I believe what happened there was good ole fashioned blackmail: you casually threaten loss of services for which there's no intention to provide anyway. The next tuning, guess who showed up? Another high schooler. Finally the third time the actual owner partner guy appears and ruffles all his feathers talking nonstop and spouting salesman's odes to intellect: still did not fix the issues. The next winter my keys were super annoying again which can be heard in my YouTube videos. Let's take a break, because there might be some excuse for my woes if the store experience offered any redeeming charm. Yet take a stop by this State Street downtown house store with the forever "sale" sign stuck out front, trot up the steps and note there's a regulated entry. It is locked. Ring the bell and wait, sometimes quite a while, the maid eventually opens the door. I was actually asked one time "what do you want?" Like really? "Oh I'm sorry I'd like a Strawberry Frosty! Wait, isn't this Wendy's?" What a joke. I can confirm the afforementioned deleted negative reviews are still true. The people here do not seem in touch with general consumer moods or willing to provide experienced responses. Need a keyboard or piano? Try any other store, eBay, Meridian Music, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, all easier to deal with than Northside. It feels a little guilty putting down a local business; but after a decade of sneaky games and pompous nonsense this feels right on. I highly recommend Kevin Cooney for tuning. He showed up and diagnosed my troubled treble keys and mended them without any obnoxious attitude. I waited for Northside to fix their own piano they sold me for a decade and some local guy named Kevin did it in forty minutes.
