We visited Beller's Music in June 2025 to attend a recital. Students were of all ages on flute and…read morepiano. They all did an excellent job! The students all seem very comfortable with the instructors and demonstrated a variety of skill levels from just a few months playing to several years. There are several classrooms and teachers for a variety of instruments including violin, saxophone, etc. One of the students I know did not get on well with their first instructor and was quickly reassigned to another who they just love. It's good to know the students have options and the owners want students to have an enjoyable experience. Plenty of parking behind the building in a free public lot. Handicap entrance is on the street side of the building with on-street parking available. Restrooms available on classroom level. Store sells and rents instruments and associated items.

I went into Beller's Music Of Manchester with the intention of purchasing a Teton Mahogany Parlor…read moreGuitar. When I began to complete the transaction, the bank declined the transaction due to the fact that I had never purchased an item from Beller's. As a response to the decline the woman behind the front desk began to question the legitimacy of my ability to purchase the 381.00 guitar beautiful instrument by the way ( reminded me of Robert Johnson ). With the perception that I was attempting to acquire the instrument without completely paying for the instrument she elaborates to me that " In order for ( you ) to purchase this instrument " You cannot use a card we will only accept cash from YOU. - I did not walk out with that guitar that day - Yes I am African American ----- RA

Great shop, friendly staff. The owners are particularly wonderful people and they take care of…read moretheir customers without hesitation. If you go in, ask for Pete. Tell him Roscoe sent you. You won't get a discount, but tell him anyway. When I first went there, I was looking to get some lessons, and boy did I learn! I was looking specifically for bagpipe lessons and within two weeks time, Pete had me playing the saxophone solo from "Baker Street" on the 'pipes. They taught me so well, in fact, that I recently formed my own band - "Abbot and The Rosh Hashananana's". We'll be playing locally, but I have no doubt that we can make our band the next musical phenomenon - like Creed.

There are not enough stars for this TEACHER! My son has been taking saxophone lessons for 3 years…read more He became the first saxophone in his school's (in Trumbull) orchestra and the jazz band. I never have to ask him to practice, he loves going to his lesson because Bennett made him love music..... Teachers who don't make kids love music are wasting the kids time and the parents money! I was a professional cello player in Lithuania and I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!! THANKS BENNETT, there are not enough stars here for you!

Last year I went to their location in East Hartford and had my Martin D18 acoustic set up for…read moremedium strings. The tech guy there did a really nice job. But I changed my mind. I like lights better after all. So I went here to get it set up for lights again. I didn't hear anything after a week, so I asked about it on Saturday. The store manager said he'd get to it. He emailed me back and said he didn't have the right size tool to adjust the truss rod. So he couldn't adjust the action. What did I want to do? I kept it as is. But my guitar is a standard 2019 model without an exotic truss rod. So I asked about him about the guy who had worked on my guitar last year as I'd seen him at the West Hartford store too. "He doesn't work here anymore, as of early July." "Okay. Are you planning on hiring a new guitar tech guy in the future?" "Guitar tech ability isn't a priority when I hire someone. He just happened to do it. And we don't buy new tools to work on guitars either." Ohhhhhkay. So he basically told me setups/repairs on guitars are not something he cares about or has any interest in investing in. I realize doing this isn't the only service a store like this offers, but I did think it was ONE of the basic services it would offer. He told me no. In so many words, go somewhere else. So I will. Only trouble is I don't drive so not quite as easy as it is for most, but I was clearly barking up the wrong tree here. It all seemed pretty strange to me. Never encountered this before in a music store.

I had a great Christmas shopping experience here last month. My son was looking for a twelve-string…read moreguitar (his six-string was a Christmas gift I bought at Crescendo in 2020). Luckily, Jason had one that had just come in on consignment. He and Dale took all the time I needed to demonstrate what an improvement in the sound the twelve-string could make (I am not a musician), and answered all of my questions. Jason restrung it and made sure it was in perfect shape for a gift within my budget, and it was the favorite Christmas present, once again! This is a professional shop and the staff are knowledgeable, patient and good at explaining pros and cons of instrument options. Exceptional personalized service. This is my go-to source for information and instrument purchases (over the years we have bought and serviced violins, trumpets and guitars here, plus many music lessons) and they are a pleasure to do business with, Thank you Jason and Dale!
