Today was our second visit to Star City Music. Last year we purchased a used clarinet for my…read moredaughter (her old one was well loved for over 40+ years) and desperately needed a break. We have had 0 issues with it, it has had a successful marching and concert band season. Because our kid loves music (plays multiple instruments), we decided to purchase a used base clarinet too (this one by far was the most affordable option, we tried it before we bought it as well). She has played base clarinet for over 2 years now. She has used the schools, it was ok, but could probably use a bit of TLC itself. Star City Music by far had the best prices on instruments and reeds. I definitely recommend the trip--I'm told they can even deliver to local schools for reeds, repairs, etc. Both encounters have been knowledgeable and helpful.

This place is great always has what we need at a better than internet price. Fast repairs too.read more

Even though I don't play guitar I appreciate the instrument and did once play an instrument. The owner was strumming a guitar and asked if I needed help. The store is packed full of guitars floor to ceiling, They also have two rooms for lessons or demonstrations. They also have wall displays of guitars. The store had brisk business on a Saturday which I was delighted to see. A very, very cool store and my guess is the best in the area.
