I've been in the market for a good but well priced acoustic guitar for awhile now. This place has a…read moregreat selection of quality Canadian made guitars at really great prices, as well as the usual Yamaha, Ibanez, etc. The owner (Al) was on the phone when I came in, but he acknowledged me and let me know he would be right with me. As soon as he was done, he came and showed me some guitars, let me try them out, gave me some advice, and then gave me some space to think about it. He was the perfect amount of helpful without pressuring me. They also have electric guitars, keyboards, and all sorts of recording equipment. I have had such mediocre experiences with the chain music stores lately, I'm glad this local business is still around. I did some quick googling, and the prices are very competitive with the bigger stores too. All in all, a very positive and informative visit. I think I've found the guitar I want! I highly recommend checking them out.

This shop is a lot bigger than their old location on Stony Plain Road several years ago. They offer lessons and also have a school band loan program.

My problem with the place is with the music school. I signed up for five private lessons. On the 4th, I had to call in sick 5 hours prior. End of the month I found out that it was a missed appointment and I would not receive any more until I paid up for another month. I didn't like this. If you're sick then you'd still better go or you'll lose $60. After some back and forth, they did finally offer the lesson but by then I was not interested and did forfeit the lesson. Don't pay 1 month in advance. Besides that, you may not like the instructor.

Gordon Price Music has the best selection of music and music teaching materials in the city. They…read moreprovide music of all sorts from classical, pop, rock, traditional and whatever you can imagine - for most main stream instruments. If there is something special you need they usually can order it in. Being a piano teacher I appreciate the teacher discount they provide. They also reimburse your parking if you spend more than $20 in the store. Gordon Price Music also provides workshops from notable presenters on music book lines, music theory and other topics of interest. If you're a member or a teacher and are on their mailing list you'll be made aware of when these take place. Not only does Gordon Price sell music, but also great teaching aids and musical novelty items, which is great for anyone musical in your life. Their staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about music - go figure - and are always there to lend a hand. I've called ahead and asked for books to be held for me which they've done without hesitation. That alone makes me return on a regular basis for my teaching materials.

About 6 months ago I had Doc refret my 2004 Strat Deluxe with stainless steel frets and his work and care was immaculate. Any guitar player knows getting new frets is akin to heart surgery and rather than risk a botch job I used to drive my guitar down to a tech in Calgary who I trusted. Doc has replaced that tech for me. The other day I had him install a new tusque nut and replace the SI pot on my Strat. I needed it for the weekend and he did all the work that day - wonderful! Staff at the store is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

He is beyond patient with a 64 year old woman who has never played any musical instrument, let alone a guitar! It's been a lot fun, mostly because Reid makes it that way! He's a great confidence builder, and really works with my schedule...in fact, he drives to my home. His prices are very reasonable and comparable to others. I would highly recommend checking out this business, you won't be disappointed! Now back to practice...

Would absolutely not recommend renting from this company. We rented speakers and a microphone for…read moreour wedding, and at pickup they did not give any instructions for how to use the equipment like we had discussed over the phone. They also did not go through the list of requested equipment and left out a critical cable that allows the speakers to play from a phone. This meant family members were scrambling until hours before the wedding began to find a local cable. Without this cord the speakers were not usable to play music. At return, staff said they could only refund $20 for the cord that was not provided, even though without the cord the entire equipment was useless to us. Two big ole thumbs down.

I stopped into Lillo's Music today before seeing a Fringe show…read more I took piano lessons, but it's been years since I sat at a piano, however I've recently been watching music theory videos on YouTube, so I thought I'd stop in and see what they had for theory books. I was greeted right away and was shown the section of theory books. There was a variety to choose from, but I went with the Elementary Rudiments of Music by Barbara Wharram because it had some of the basics to refresh my memory, but also seems to go into theory topics I never got to in my piano studies like modes and transposition. I also browsed their guitar books and picked up a basics (because I have a guitar but haven't taken lessons). Aside from books they do have actual musical instruments, and I understand they do repairs as well. Lillo's Music will be closing in December (their music school will stay open though) so if you're looking to get some sheet music or buy an instrument make sure to stop by soon.
