Great selection of vintage amps - practically a whole wall stacked with Fender tube tone…read more (drool....) Nice dude who runs this place. Reasonable prices, not as much selection as Guitar Center obviously, but a lot more personality, just like all the small shops. Preferable indeed! Didn't have much time to peep the guitar selection. Looked pretty standard...no jaw-dropping Les Pauls or anything, but a few solid used axes nonetheless. Not much for drummers, although he did have a few cymbals, so if you need some color in your kit's cymbal arsenal, maybe give him a call to see what he's got. Best for the used amps/cabs though...good selection considering the size of the joint.

I am a guitar teacher in Sudbury and I send all of my current and potential students to Liberty…read moreMusic. George is the nicest guy you'd ever meet and knows everything about guitars. He has set up my guitar students with just the right guitar for a great price. He also has a great guitar repair guy who fixed my 1982 Ovation when others said that I need to send it to the factory. It works great now! Both of these guys are well-seasoned guitar pros who have been around the block, not like some 20-something trying to sell you the guitar with the highest markup at the big stores. So go see George at Liberty. You will find a friend (and a store) for life!

I have had hit or miss experiences with this place. They have a great variety of guitars most of…read morethe time but the staff is sometimes sort of aloof. Perhaps they don't even realize it. I can't say they actively discourage me in any way. It's just that some of them have a hard time feigning interest. Maybe I'm just not a cool person. I dunno. Some other places have no trouble treating me like I matter, so perhaps it isn't just me. Perhaps I have been encountering an employee who doesn't like his job. Regardless, I keep coming in to see their incredibly good, constantly-rotating inventory. One time, I even sold an amp for them just by being myself, playing some pretty tunes on a nice little setup. A nice older gentleman walked up and complimented the sound I was getting then politely asked if he could buy the amp. We had a wonderful talk and then he bought it while I walked out the door. That made me feel GOOD. That experience has sustained me over a few of the more negative experiences with aforementioned aloof employee.

I went to Music Go Round after several unsatisfying trips to the big box guitar centers. I am…read morereturning to playing after many years so I can play along with my grandchildren like I did for my kids. I wanted to buy a guitar but have some problems with my shoulder and needed help selecting a size and style I could use comfortably. I got no help from the big box stores. I walked into Music Go Round and was immediately greeted by a friendly guy named Jeff. I explained my problem and Jeff showed me a variety of styles and sizes. When he saw how uncomfortable I was, he showed me how to hold the guitar like I was playing classical and it was a revelation. It took all the pressure off my shoulder. He brought me a variety of guitars without trying to upsell at all and I landed on a beautiful Alvarez Parlor size with all Mahagony top, sides and bottom. This guitar new at Guitar stores is selling for $1,100. I bought this slightly used guitar for 1/3 that cost. And, to top it off, the store has a wonderful dog walking around. So, if you want personal service, no pressure sales, and a great bargain on a great guitar--I would stop here. At least that was my experience.

I have studied with him now for over 16 years, a…read moretestament to his ability as a teacher to keep me inspired and wanting to learn more every week. Rob emphasizes the enjoyment of music as a key aspect of his teaching philosophy. We have studied a breadth of classical music spanning from Bach and Beethoven, Chopin and Schubert, Debussy, Copland, Barber, Ginastera... the list goes on and on. We've also worked on pop music and show tunes, and lessons are sprinkled with theory and music history. My musicality has improved immeasurably under Rob's guidance and I appreciate listening to (as well as playing) music more as a result. I highly recommend Rob for studying piano at all levels, from beginner to advanced. Check him out!

Be warned!!!!!! Egocentric man!!! Very unprofessional Piano Teacher. Although he is very skilled,…read morehe has a difficult time with boundaries and professionalism. We began seeing him in February and had to end our services 3 months later due to many issues handled inadequately. I had no intention on sharing my experience through a review until he completely ignored me over email. Since beginning services with him in February, he had made several passive aggressive statements but we looked the other way for our daughter who thoroughly enjoys piano. He made comments about us not ordering a new keyboard saying things like, "I don't know if it's a money thing...", and "I've mentioned this before, and for whatever reason you haven't ordered another keyboard...", which is completely INAPPROPRIATE! Maybe we hadn't ordered it because we wanted her to earn it, or maybe we hadn't ordered it because we wanted it to be a reward at the end of the school year? Regardless, it was none of his business why. She had a working keyboard and that's all that should have concerned him. And then most recently, over Skype in May he said, "I don't know how much you care about her piano lessons but she's quite good." And what I said back to him was, "We care about whatever she cares about." It's clear he is not a parent. No person who is a parent would presume parents don't care about piano lessons they are paying for so their child can learn and enjoy piano, and no parent would involve children in monetary matters the way he did either. After my daughter's final piano class with him, she informed me that at the end of their meeting he said to her, "Please remind your mother to pay for the month of June as she is always late with the payment." What kind of teacher says a comment like this to an 11-year-old? What kind of teacher makes such a passive aggressive comment to a child about money? Why not give the parent a call or send the parents an email if there is any concern with payment. Moreover, there was no "always"; he had only been paid for February and March and then the pandemic happened. His form of payment is very archaic and he only accepts written checks either brought to him at class or mailed to him. So as any normal human being would know the month of April in Massachusetts was quite stressful due to COVID-19. Going out to get groceries was scary in and of itself and remembering to mail his check was not on my top priority list. So that payment was a late which I apologized for, even give the circumstances. Then I was sick at the beginning of May and my daughter unfortunately missed a class to which he had a very flippant attitude about even though I was in the hospital. I made a payment arrangement with him and told him I would send him a check for the month of May. He finally agreed to accepting Zell in the month of May. So for him to make a comment like that to my daughter on June 2 was completely inappropriate and uncalled for. When I brought this to his attention he did not respond back with apologies or understanding, he simply responded back with excuses and tried to shame me saying that he was "sorry if it embarrassed you". If he were a parent then he'd understand that it wasn't embarrassing, it simply put my daughter in an awkward and uncomfortable position, therefore inappropriate and unprofessional. I expected an email back and he did not respond. 3 days later I reached out to my daughter's previous teacher who was willing to make time for her on weekends, as she lives far away and weekdays are hard for us. I informed Stephen of this and listed out all the reasons why his employment with us was no longer going to work. He decided that his pride and ego have too much value and he would not respond to that either. Horrible customer service! Not to mention that his flippant attitude towards my daughter, as if having her as a student didn't mean anything was even more insulting. Being a good pianist is one thing, but being a good service provider is a whole other thing for this guy. Don't trust him with your kids.

The salespeople were rude and acted like they knew it all and that I knew nothing and wasn't worth their time.

If I were a paying student I would not accept this very unprofessional behavior. Their books are priced higher than other local music stores and from the dealer themselves which can be purchased online.
