The students all seem very comfortable with the instructors and demonstrated a variety of skill levels from just a few months playing to several years. There are several classrooms and teachers for a variety of instruments including violin, saxophone, etc. One of the students I know did not get on well with their first instructor and was quickly reassigned to another who they just love. It's good to know the students have options and the owners want students to have an enjoyable experience. Plenty of parking behind the building in a free public lot. Handicap entrance is on the street side of the building with on-street parking available. Restrooms available on classroom level. Store sells and rents instruments and associated items.

When I began to complete the transaction, the bank declined the transaction due to the fact that I had never purchased an item from Beller's. As a response to the decline the woman behind the front desk began to question the legitimacy of my ability to purchase the 381.00 guitar beautiful instrument by the way ( reminded me of Robert Johnson ). With the perception that I was attempting to acquire the instrument without completely paying for the instrument she elaborates to me that " In order for ( you ) to purchase this instrument " You cannot use a card we will only accept cash from YOU. - I did not walk out with that guitar that day - Yes I am African American ----- RA

I found out that they were under new management so I decided to give it a shot to get my new snare tuned up (I'm still fairly new to drums). If possible I'd always like to try to support a local shop instead of Guitar Center. For only $5, they not only tuned up the drum to my liking, but took about 20 minutes to explain to me what they were doing and some tips and techniques. It's nice to walk into a shop and have 2 people immediately stop what they're doing to say hello and help you out. Will definitely head back there when I'm ready to purchase a new cymbal because they have a ton in stock.

I had no intention of buying anything the first time I visited, and he still spent ten minutes patiently explaining how to change the heads on my new (to me) kit. Needless to say, when I eventually decided to swap out the heads I went back to the store and went over all of my options with Gus. Could I go to a huge chain store and get more of a selection? Possibly. But I'd much rather support a local small business where the people who work there know my name and take the time to work with me one-on-one to make sure I learn something new every time I come in and get a product that fits my needs.

The owner of this shop, Nate, obviously loves and understands the business, and he also takes his time to show and explain the different types of guitars that he offers, and why they might make sense. There is also an awesome Golden Retriever in the store to keep you company if you just want to hang out with a dog instead of buy a guitar. The most impressive thing about Whole Tone is the completeness of the shop -- not only can you buy the guitar, but you can service it there as well, get your lessons, and also come in for demos of talented guitarists to see what is actually possible. I suppose you could just click and buy your guitar for the lowest price plus shipping on Amazon -- but you'll miss out on the rest of an important part of the experience, not to mention, the chance to actually try the equipment and hear what it sounds like before you do make a purchase. Its not merely about the lowest price. It also has to sound right. And if it makes you feel any better -- Nate did match the price of my guitar to whatever the lowest price was online -- without me even having to ask. That's pretty cool. Hopefully the dog will help out the lessons. No luck so far....

My husband bought a guitar that was still under warranty. He was new to guitar playing at the time…read moreand it was really hard to play his Takamine. Finally, we called KMC Music, who is the U.S. distributor for this. Upon taking the Takamine to the AZ Authorized Service Center, we discovered the guitar was incorrectly manufactured. They said to ship the guitar back to them and they will replace it. However, we would have to pay for shipping. Shipping a guitar across the country is pretty costly and we refused to pay for shipping. With the negotiations with KMC, they finally agreed to pay for the shipping. To help control the shipping, they sent us a shipping label via snail mail. In today's modern technology, this was a bit backwards, but we were patient and let KMC choose how to ship us the label. Email would have been more effective as other companies do. We got the guitar boxed up and shipped it back to KMC on their shipping label. It took about 3 months to get the replacement guitar and a number of follow up phone calls, but at the end of it, we got a new correctly manufactured Takamine that works well. This was in August. About 7 months later, it needed some adjustment because of vibration sound from a couple of the strings. We took it to the local Authorized Takamine Service Center and they fixed it at no charge to us. It was under warranty. Though when we went through the process last summer of 2013 and it was a bear, Takamine/KMC wanted to make sure we were happy and we are despite the hand holding we had to do through all this. I would like to add that the many, many phone calls I made, sometimes it was frustrating to talk with the KMC people, but the one thing was they always still treated me with professionalism and courtesy, even if I was upset. This is really important when dealing with an unhappy customer. Even when I wrote something negative on their FB page, whomever managed the page was extremely polite, courteous with me and helped me better address my issues. They took the high road and did overall provide decent customer service. I'm not going to say customer service is excellent, but it was decent. We will one day purchase another guitar from Takamine because they made right on their warranty and they stood behind their product. Not once did they ever bash me, and we were treated with respect the whole time, even if they were not happy with having to pay for shipping, which for the guitar was well over $100. In the end, we will most likely purchase a guitar that is in the range of over $2K+. I think one of the marks of great customer service is being able to handle irate customers and do such a great job that you turn them to do more business with you because you have made them happy. Thank you, KMC Music.
