After a week without seeing it I disputed the charge with my card. Music and arts then sent me a bill for the amount disputed. When I called the main headquarters they were rude and useless saying they can't help i have to talk to the store. I called and talk to the store manager. He said he did not understand the bill. I said I was leaving to go out of town to please figure it out. He said he would and email me. I not only never received an email but I had a letter from collections when I got home just 2 weeks later. They bait you in advertising sevices they can't provide then try to use collections to bully you for money they didn't earn.

I want to start by saying how sad I am to leave this review. Teds is the closest music store to my…read morehome and one I came to for years as a student. I consistantly ordered a particular brand of reeds from them during my middle and high school years and had two buffet clarinets serviced there while martriculating and preparing for collegiate auditions. This is why I trusted Ted's and brought the parent of one of my students here. We purchased his first professional clarinet, a used Buffet from here. While his parent was happy to buy a new professional clarinet, the quality and richness of older Buffet clarinets matched the beautiful tone my student achieves. Ted's gave us a good price and I played the clarinet briefly to make sure it was functional. They even offered a 6 month warranty. During lessons, my clarinet student started to have issues with one of the keys. I noticed some very small pieces of cork were missing. We took the clarinet back to Ted's and instead of picking up the clarinet, I had to send it back for a more complete fix (the pad was now not closing correctly). I was told they did an overhaul of the clarinet and after some time, we tried the clarinet and picked it up again. Because an overhaul was done, I visually inspected and tested the clarinet again. All seemed well. A few weeks ago, my student had to send his instrument to the repair shop for an overhaul after pads in the right hand joint became loose and fell off. This time, at a different store, we were notified there was no way an actual overhaul was done because of the condition of the pads. I can no longer recommend, nor do business with Ted's, which is really a shame after all of these years.

I live about 15 minutes from this place. I had purchased a Ukulele from the Bill's down the street…read moreand had that for a couple years until I learned guitar. While searching to buy my very own guitar, I found this store and actually changed my mind about wanting a guitar. This place has a wonderful selection of Mandolins of which I bought an Eastman A-Style Mandolin. It is absolutely beautiful and well worth the price! I visit every now and then, and this place isn't just for high end guitar collectors. They have MASSIVE amounts of other and more affordable yet still fantastic stringed instruments. Since the Mandolin, I bought a used Martin & Co. Backpacker Guitar for $199. It came with a great gig bag and the guitar is great. Apart from the products, the atmosphere is great. People may come in and play guitars, mandolins, ukuleles, basses, or banjos freely in the store. It's really cool and it helps that the staff is so very kind and helpful. If you want to get into string instruments or already love them, I'd absolutely recommend going to this store. They really have a fantastic location and are worth every penny I spend there.
