The issue was stuck mouthpiece, and he fixed it pretty quick and didn't charge us for it. Despite being a small shop, the store has an impressive selection of instruments and is noticeably clean and well organized compared to other music stores we've visited. They also offer music lessons, rentals, and more, so I definitely recommend checking them out for any of your musical needs.

And plenty of them! .. they sell and rent .. we rented and it was so easy. You let them know what you need and they bring it out.. helps you inspect everything and give you a contract to sign. The rented price is decent and it goes towards the full price of the instrument if uou decide to buy it after. Highly recommend if you need to purchase or rent.

Title: Exceptional Service at Tim's Music!…read more I had an unexpected issue with my chromatic harmonica right before an important practice session, and after calling around everywhere, Tim's Music was the only shop able to help. Natalie, the Service Coordinator, went out of her way to arrange for a technician to take a look at it--even though they don't normally repair harmonicas. Taylor, the repair technician, examined it right away, found debris inside, and returned it playing better than ever. Scott, the owner, even came out personally to make sure everything was just right. They didn't charge me a dime and made me feel truly cared for. This level of kindness and professionalism is rare. Tim's Music has earned a very loyal customer. Thank you!

We got some help in narrowing down our options. But before making the purchase, we decided to book an appointment at the Music Exchange. We were met with Jeff and he was clearly very knowledgeable and educated us in the various options that were available and finally recommended one that fit our budget and hit all of our checkboxes. The entire interaction was very friendly and easy going without any pressure tactics to upsell anything. After the paperwork was all done, the delivery was set for a week later, and Chris called a day before the delivery, then showed up right on time on the day of the delivery. He assembled the piano carefully and took all the packaging materials with him. We were left with a beautiful sounding piano right where we wanted it. If you are looking to buy a piano, the Music Exchange is a 'must' stop.

i posted a review about GC back in Mar 2023... I will freely admit that at the time, until i got a…read moremanager involved customer service was not stellar... that being said, i recently purchased a Fender Telecaster Ultra II. The experience of purchasing (traded some guitar + cash) was excellent. The only issue I had was with the quality of the instrument. To Fender: Do better! After i couldn't deal with the persistent string buzz and the guitar constantly out of tune... I went back 5 days later with the intent of returning and/or exchanging. That experience was also awesome. Ethan helped me out and was very understanding. His first response was to offer to ship me a new in 2 days... I asked about in stock items and he indicated he had another one in the store, still in the factory carton. So i asked to check that one out... it was worse than the one i bought. I asked if i could have the store tech look at my purchased instrument. He introduced me... can't remember his name. He was rather dismissive regarding my issue but made some simple adjustments while i was there.. I took it home and it pretty much the same... I'm now at a point where i'm ready to chuck it all, still mulling it over but i wanted to give a shout out to CG for its much improved customer service.... Shout out to Ethan!

I got my first guitar in July 1960. I've bought and sold 1,000's of guitars., amps, drums,…read morekeyboards, etc... No exaggeration. I owned a 1,500 square foot musical instrument shop from 1998 to 2007. So I know equipment. I've visited Skip's several times over the past few decades. But my last visit was long enough ago that it was at the former Watt Ave location. This new store is visually impressive. Plenty of space which gives the room a majestic feel. It's dramatically lighted. The overhead music system is not obnoxiously loud. It's a fun place to browse. The inventory is all good quality. Every item is a real musical instrument, not a junky toy. No Amazon type crap here. The 5 staff members I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. I stopped in with my family to buy some Xmas gifts for the grandchildren and a few cables for myself. I pre-shopped the items on the Skip's website. The items were in stock. We bought a mini electric guitar for the 6 year old grand niece who actually knows already how to play some basic chords. We also got her a small amplifier, cables, guitar strap... Everything she will need to start her musical journey. Pricing is pretty standard MSRP. I know the price structure at wholesale and retail level and was not going to haggle for a discount out of respect. Profit margin after all the business expenses is meager. There's a high riser stage for in store events & concerts. There's also programs when students perform. Great experience for students to begin public performances (Where, hopefully, they get prepared for paychecks when they graduate to playing at bar gigs, weddings, birthdays and maybe even the big time (if they work really, really hard)). If you or you little virtuoso wants some gear I highly recommend that you shop here rather than at Guitar Center. Shop local, support a family owned business rather than a corporation.
