Bruce and his staff are terrific to deal with. I thought I needed a new fret job on my 60 year old Rickenbacker. Bruce suggested that he could simply replace the "nut" which elevates the strings above the frets. Well, bingo he was right. Saved me some serious $. He and his team were a huge help when I was buying an additional guitar and amp setup. Brindleys is an honest to goodness music store! Thanks guys. - Mickey Keyes read more

I live super close to Brindleys, and I love supporting local! I have a professional model solid silver flute that I wanted to get overhauled, as it hasn't been played in several years. Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those! read more

Great experience, outstanding customer service. Brought in two guitars for evaluation and any needed repairs. Very pleased with results, cost was much less than expected. read more

Got a bass repaired once and it went well with quick turnaround. Came back a while later and bought a couple ukuleles with cases. The girl at the register when I walked in was super kind and helpful for a person like me that knows next to nothing about those things. read more

They did a fantastic job on my guitar and turned it around very quickly. Plays much better than it did before I brought it in. They are my new music outlet! read more

While the parking lot is a bit odd the location is convenient and the interior is filled with different options! The staff are nice enough, there are tons of strings and pedal options as well (which makes it easier to support local businesses)! read more

Three years ago, my daughter suddenly decided she wanted to learn to play guitar. I began researching and asking folks, "Do you know of any great guitar instructors for a never-held-an-instrument teen?" The amount of responses I received that mentioned Brindley's was overwhelming. I immediately made a phone call to see about signing my daughter up for lessons. (what I thought would be a soon to fizzle out hobby) We took the first available time slot that Donnie had open. From the first lesson, she was hooked. Donnie has an amazing approach to getting students engaged and he makes learning a brand new instrument FUN. My daughter learned the basics, of course, but he lets the student take the lead with music that THEY enjoy. Poor Donnie had to endure more Harry Styles than he ever wanted to in those early days of lessons lol. Donnie is unbelievably patient and dedicated, and with every 30 minute lesson, my daughter amazed me with how quickly she gained confidence and ability in her playing. I LOVE listening to her play guitar. What I originally thought would be a hobby she'd soon be bored of, she has surprised me with her commitment and love for guitar. Going to practice is something she looks forward to each week. And while high school commitments now often take precedence, Donnie has always been understanding when she needs to reschedule due to unavoidable calendar conflicts. He is genuinely supportive in both her music and scholastic/personal life, which takes the pressure off of her feeling any guilt about having to rearrange her lesson. Thank you Donnie for being, quite simply, an amazing human being. I wish the world had more people like you in it. You have a true gift and I hope you know the positive impact you have on those lucky enough to know you. read more

I wanted to have my Takamine looked at as I couldn't decide if the frets were uneven or if I had a neck twist because the action seemed a tad high and I was still getting some buzz on the higher frets. I searched around before stepping into Brindley's because I wouldn't trust the techs at Guitar Center with it. Stepping into this place for the first time was almost felt like coming home to a place you didn't know you missed. The luthier took a look at my guitar, going over it expertly for about fifteen minutes before advising there wasn't a neck twist and there were a few high frets which could be sanded down but that the action was about as low as it could go. No charge for going over the guitar which was appreciated. After taking care of business I had them tuck my guitar away behind their counter for a bit so I could just wander around this little gem of a shop. I instantly fell in love with this place because they are an official Ibanez dealer! Yes, everybody sells Ibanez electric guitars, because that's what they are primarily known for. They make a really nice acoustic guitar though, and while you can always find a few of their acoustic guitars at any given guitar shop the selection is generally limited to the Artwood lineup. Here they have acoustic guitars from across their entire lineup. I've always been a fan of Ibanez guitars. The quality and sound of their acoustics as well as the pricing and playability all top notch. Ibanez guitars aren't as recognizable as Fender or Gibson guitars, yet they spend their money on building quality instruments rather than PR. I've own a Takamine, a Fender and Breedlove acoustic guitars but I always come back to my Ibanez. Finding this awesome store dealing Ibanez acoustic guitars from across their entire lineup, and with an expert luthier on site just makes me happy in my soul. read more

Brindley's is ALWAYS accommodating and demonstrates that their customers ARE the focus. This is the place to go for your music needs. read more

Recently wanted to learn to play guitar and did a ton of research online looking at new and used guitars. I stumbled across a listing on OfferUp from this shop and saw the guitar I just had to have! I reached out to them and they said it was still available. So, I went into tue store to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised how "home-y" this shop was. I was immediately greeted and assisted and found the guitar I wanted and fell in love with it. The gentleman at the front desk (I'm sorry I forgot his name) was SUPER helpful and walked me through my whole experience of being a first time guitar buyer. The shop is certainly a hidden gem and has a plethora of wonderful instruments for all seeking a musical path. I will keep coming back and keep this ma and pa shop with my business for years to come! read more

Brindley's Music Center - Ibanez electric guitar - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Brindley's music has been a big part of our family for many years. When my kids were in school they took violin and guitar lessons and loved the experience. After they grew up, my husband and I started lessons. He takes guitar and I take piano lessons. You're never too old to learn. The staff is always friendly and the teachers are very knowledgeable and make learning enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting and taking some lessons. read more

Awesome place with awesome people. The unfortunate part is every time we go in this store we buy a guitar.

This place is great! I have had two guitars set up here, a 6 & 12 string. Both were set up beautifully and play like a dream! I dig the local vibe. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and employees are always attentive. A big thank you to Bruce and his staff for providing top grade service! Highly recommended! read more

Brought in an electric guitar that had some pickup switch issues. Guitar was available next day with a new pickup selector and cost was very reasonable, especially with such a quick turnaround. read more

Great customer service! We are new to playing a school instrument, the staff at Brindley's were friendly snd helpful in explaining all we needed to know! read more

Brindley's Music Center - My son renting a violin - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I took my mesa boogie amp to Brindley's after having a problem with it randomly cutting out while playing.. Gabe exceeded my expectations by clearly diagnosing the issue and giving me 3 options to fix it. He provided his recommendation of the 3 and it fixed the issue. My 15 year old amp is like brand new! I recommend Brindleys for repairs, used guitars (I have bought several), setups and lessons. Best music store in the east valley! read more

Gabe is the best for music instrument repairs and I totally recommend his service for anyone that needs quality repair work completed. I've had vintage keyboards and he was very instrumental in getting those repaired for me with fair pricing. I think he revivals and is better than Rob @ Rosen Sound in Burbank California. read more

Bruce is a great guitar luther he has worked on some of my guitars with great results.

I have had three electric guitars, a bass guitar, an acoustic guitar, and my Fender Deluxe Reverb tube amp serviced by Brindley's. Every single time that I have brought something into the store their customer service is excellent, and the work they do is always high-quality, affordable, and fast. I would rate them 10 stars if I could, as a musician they have made my life infinitely easier with the service they provide. read more

What a wonderful little gem of a place. The staff were very helpful talking me through the guitar options. We came in looking to start guitar lessons with Guitar Tommy after reading his wonderful reviews online and he has been great. My son started about a month ago and Guitar Tommy has been very thoughtful with his instruction. My son has a background in piano and picks up things quite quickly. I've been impressed with the way Guitar Tommy has worked with him on certain songs he is passionate about learning and weaving them into his teachings for a beginner guitar player. It is inspiring for my son and makes him want to practice all the time. He has already started getting callouses on his fingers! We are elated to have found Guitar Tommy and Brindleys. Thank you for being awesome! read more

Affordable, friendly, high quality service. Very happy with this place I'll definitely be coming back again

I was referred here by a really good guitar player that I'm friends with, and was not disappointed. Repair person recommended I not have the Goodwill-acquired 40+ year old guitar repaired, and pointed out an additional problem I had not seen. No high pressure to replace it , everyone was very nice and informative. Shop local. read more

Meh. All the guitars and bass's have mile high action and are cheap. They have a couple good ones used. What got me was I asked for a pick and the guy told me to be careful with the new ones and not play heavy handed but the used ones were ok. There was no discernible tag or marking to tell you what's used or new and the fact that he was telling me to not play heavy handed was just poor customer service. This place is for beginners for sure. read more

A string broke on my guitar and as a person new to the instrument I wasn't familiar with fixing a broken string. I called the store because it was near my house. Bruce answered and said I could bring it in, gave me the store hours and that they can fix it in a few minutes. I arrived and was helped immediately, fixed the broken string and they even made sure it was tuned! I don't remember the name of their person who actually fixed it but he was quick. Bruce and the staff were friendly with great customer service! read more

My daughter started taking piano lessons a few months ago with Diane. She was very apprehensive at first but I was able to convince her to go. Diane is just the best.... she takes her time, is caring and attentive and simply awesome. I recommend anyone to learn piano with her! read more

I am a total beginner when it comes to guitars but I had brought a long a cousin that is pretty experienced and both him and I had a wonderful experience here. Staff was super patient and helpful and answered all my questions. Did not end up buying a guitar but got to test some of them out and from what my cousin was telling me and the little experience I had, they were very well made, high quality, and will likely come back to pick one up for myself once I browse a few other stores. May even sign up for lessons! read more

I've had a few guitars set up here in the past. The staff is always available and friendly. The prices are fair and they always get the work done really fast. The do have a small selection of electric guitars (even more acoustics) and plenty of cases and bags and accessories. read more

I had to return the violin that we rented last year for my daughter's orchestra class. The transaction was easy and the staff were helpful.

Great service when I called to inquire and even better when we went into the store! The young gentleman was very helpful and informative!

Very helpful and informative staff. Walking it and learning about guitars for my 9 year old girl was a great experience. Can't wait for her to start lessons after Christmas. read more

Friendly staff. Nice variety of stuff. Quick with service. Great for kids especially in school programs. If they are unable to help you they will send you in the right direction read more

I brought my husband to Brindley's to select a new guitar for his birthday. From the time we walked in both Bruce and Gabe were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Bruce help my husband decide on the right guitar for him by selecting several different guitars explaining the pros and possible cons of each one, then letting him play each one. Talk about personal service! Once my husband selected a beautiful Ibenez hollow body, Bruce offered to change the strings and check it all out again in 30 days. My husband is very happy with his new guitar and extremely pleased with our experience with Brindley's Music. read more

Always helpful and great customer service with knowledgeable staff. All 3 of my kids have rented instruments or bought supplies here.

My son is in high school marching band and his saxophone had some pads not sealing well. Two other music centers I called indicated they would have to send the instrument out to their repair technician (so several days to repair). Since my son needed the instrument repaired ASAP, I was super happy that Brindley's technician was onsite and was able to fix the instrument that day! Plus, everyone was super nice and helpful. read more

I've been coming to Bruce for almost over a year. I personally think he's the best in the valley. Every modification to my guitars has been awesome. Why go anywhere else? read more

Clean, well organized store that offers all your musical needs. The violin rental rate is very reasonable and includes insurance. The violin provided was in excellent condition and the case provided was new. Personnel are friendly, knowledgeable, and very willing to help. I would highly recommend Brinkley's Music Center. read more

I was specifically looking for a local guitar shop to bring in my Fender CD100CE (left-handed) acoustic electric guitar. I'm just starting out and bought it used from a local seller and needed the bridge re-glued--it was beyond the paper test and was really lifted from the body. It's a really neat place that's super unsuspecting near downtown Chandler. When you walk in through the door along the "side" where the side street leads to 87/N Arizona Avenue, there's a small sitting area (no doubt for parents who brought their kid in for lessons) and it opens up to a small collection of rooms featuring a bunch of guitars and a few other instruments. One room seems dedicated to just accessories, another to acoustics and strings. Bruce and everyone there were so kind. He stuck to the estimate I was given and even did a few extra things like polish and check out the pickup, which wasn't working (and now is) and wasn't a priority, but let me know that if it was a simple fix he would go ahead and take care of it. I brought it in on a Monday and picked it up Thursday; for as many guitar repairs as he must have had, it was certainly a quick turn around and perfect as I was in the area for that week only before returning home. I really can't beat the price and service here, and if something's wrong with my guitar or I want to make some changes, this place is the first stop on my list. I can't stress enough how casual and straight-forward Bruce was, which made this rather intimidating process that much smoother. The bridge looks great, I'm ready for an amp if I ever decide to use one, and I'm all set for this learning process. read more

Ive been playing guitar for 4 decades. I go to Bruce for setups. Why because he does a great job and doesn't treat you like an idiot if you have questions. And he charges a reasonable price, whether you buy an instrument there or not. Ive been to bigger, and more branded stores and gotten half the service. I prefer to go to a place that is respectful and does a consistently great job with my guitars without having to worry. Thanks Brindleys. read more

Cool place !!! Good place to rent violins for kid to play in school very cheap ! I pay like $ 19.99 per month with insurance and everything. Compare to the other places by far the best. Also they offer guitar lessons . Took my kid there to learn how to play acoustic guitar . Best decision I ever made . Scott Anderson fantastic instructor. My kid enjoy his experience. Check them out ! I highly Recommend this place read more
