Worst consumer experience ever!! The only saving grace was that he was generous enough to refund my money after selling me an incomplete drum set of which I was gifting to an experienced drummer whom knew immediately there were missing pieces. The owner had inventoried the boxes with me upon my initial down payment  and had taken the cymbals out during the time I had the set in layaway. He claimed he was sold an incomplete set and used the price as a defense saying I wouldnt be able to get the drum set for that price anywhere. Fact of the matter I would've paid whatever he charged for the gentleman I had gifted it to and to see how excited he was to have a set again and then to have to take it back due to it being incomplete was heart breaking! I would never recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely horrible! Especially when I noticed the cymbals missing after I had gotten it home because we specifically went through to make sure nothing was missing as it was open on the floor when I purchased it. He claims to have sold music equipment for 33 years and verified multiple times everything was there and I saw the cymbals in a box marked cymbals clearly for myself only to find them missing upon gifting it. Never ever again will I trust nor shop for ANY music equipment ever at AVS Music. Consumer beware he will take advantage of you if he feels you are not music equipment savvy. Sad sad way of doing business!! read more

I was attempting to sell an instrument that once belonged to a deceased family member, and not only was the owner incredibly rude to me, but he also was a cheapskate. I understand that he wanted to make a profit, however, he did not have to be so rude and unhelpful. He acted like I had no clue what my instrument was worth, and when I insisted I knew what I was talking about, he all but ignored me. Long story short, do not use these people, they are rude all the way around. read more
