Great service and advice from Steve and his staff. Their guitar setups are awesome. I've had three…read moreguitars and basses fixed by Steve and folks.

There is a reason why they are so busy, and that is because they are incredibly popular. I highly recommend this shop if you need a stringed instrument to sound and play better than new.

Brought in an instrument for some modifications a couple weeks back! Nikk and Jay worked on it and…read morehad it all ready for me pronto! Picked it up the other day and took it home to give it some play and I was pleasantly surprised as to the wiring job Nikk performed! The guitar was wired in a way that made it unique for my collection! I plugged it into my AxeFX2 at home and was blown away by the tones the guitar was able to produce! Always a pleasure to have Nikk and Jay work on my custom guitars, I have come to rely on their expertise and passion for their craft and I rest assured that my instruments are in good hands! Thanks guys!

Took an expensive guitar to Kick Axe due to a minor electrical issue problem not resolved and was…read morecharged on top they got chemical cleaner all over the finish Damaging the finish. At first they were concerned and as days passed less so and then a week later they just got mad. A month later clearly No plans to repair or have any contact no more. Legal action seems now to be the only resolve as they have no interest or have not communicated no more. I left several messages all ignored. This is not a wise business to deal with.

This is a review for MUSICWORKS CANADA. I signed my daughter up for lessons for 6 months. The…read morelocation closed without notice and MusicWorks will NOT refund me the money for the balance of my daughter's lessons owed. This is TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. If this is how MusicWorks operates, I would not deal with any of their locations. As a Franchisor, they need to honor any dealing any of their locations have with customers.

Sadly our experience with Bell Music has ended on a not so happy note. We got a beginner teacher…read morethat was not adequate at teaching piano and despite voicing our concerns to both teacher and owner of Bell Music, nothing ever changed. After 5.5 months we decided that we couldn't accept this any more. We were given the option to have the owner teacher piano on the one night our family was not available. In the end we are stuck paying the $200 cancellation because it is studio "policy". We feel the studio shouldn't punish their clients for having a teacher can't teach.

"Come they told me Parumpapampum..."…read more Are you a little drummer boy or girl? Then head down to Beat It; if you are an avid percussionist then you will absolutely salivate when you enter this store. It's all about drums and cymbals and things that go bang in the night. The owner Bob is tremendous, he and a former band mate were there shooting the breeze; seems like they had a travelling band and comedy act in their day and are in the process of uploading some YouTube videos of the music as we spoke. Dave actually showed me the bass guitar he used when touring which is the style that Paul McCartney had except right handed. The place is lined with amazing drum kits, nice affordable beginner models and then they go up to the all collectible drum sets, they even have a drum kit that is the exact replica of Ringo Star's. What absolutely floored me are the drum kits from the turn of the century that line the upper back wall behind the cash register. Here you will see the golden oldies, drums hand painted oozing with nostalgia and a faint beat. Bob has a small selection of collectable music for sale plus some collectable radios that date back to the 50s. Bob certainly knows his stuff, and was so interesting to talk to I just wanted to stay in the store all day and hang out, but alas I had things to do so I had to BEAT IT. I love this store and what they offer... definitely one of Calgary's best.

After years of passing by in a vehicle and looking out at the storefront drum kit and the name…read more"Beat It" written in perfect Beatles font, I'm glad I finally went in to check this place out! Well... I turns out that it's a drum store, so get your mind out of the gutter! And then get into the store because it's lots of fun. If you're into vintage drum gear, this is the place to go. One-off, interesting used gear excites me way more than run-of-the-mill new stuff. Walking around Beat It is like walking around a musician's toy store and a museum at the same time. I decided to impulse buy a retro drum throne at a good price. I will always take a high quality piece of gear in used condition to a lower quality new piece at the same price. In the world of music gear, scratches just add character. The owner is a real friendly guy who you can't help but want to support. There aren't to many mom and pop music shops around and Beat It is (as far as I know) the only drum specific music store standing in the whole city. This alone is enough for me to want to support these guys.

Not only is she a great vocal coach she is a solid human being and it's a pleasure to know her and have her part of my life. I can not say enough good things.

All of this while building great friendships and memories, thanks to the team at SoR.
