This Guitar Center doesn't have much of a selection beyond the Harbinger, JBL and Yamaha at this locaction. I was hoping they had some Adam monitors. I never got the opportunity to hear any because the dweeb behind the counter was more interested in avoiding anyone than the masked idiot was interested in helping anyone. I walked by him several times thinking I'd get asked if I needed any help, but to no avail. He seemed more intent on avoiding any contact. I might give the West Seneca store a try, Cheektowaga location is a definite bust if you're looking for someone to help you. especially if the bearded good salesman is busy helping someone else.

Awesome service. Great products…read more I have taken lessons from the owner, Vince, for years. I could not rate this place any higher. It has that old-school store vibe, but all the latest and greatest in everything. So much better than buying from a corporation and not seeing where your money goes. Prices are always as low as Musician's Friend or any online retailer. Great selection of used gear in the back room. Service is great because all the employees are actual musicians and not college kids looking for part time jobs like the competition has. Keep the locally owned dream alive! You will love the service and the products. It seems like just a matter of time before Vince sells a guitar to some kid that goes off and puts Buffalo back on the musical map!

She has had an awesome guitar teacher who has always collaborated with her on what songs she would like to figure out and learn. We have nothing but praise for the staff at Performing Arts.

But they don't only offer lessons to children they offer lessons to adults too! They just started a new program for little ones from 2-6 also called Musiking which is an introduction to music for children. If your looking for lessons you need to check out Performing Arts!

They said it was no longer going to happen that my account was closed yet. I still keep getting them to take out money from my account. This place is a scam. Do not come here. I now have to go to the bank to get this issue fixed and then change my bank card information so this place can't continuously steal money from me. Do not come here waste severe time waste of your money. They barely call you back when you leave them. Multiple voicemails and emails. It's now May 15th, and my account was again charged today!

I have never been so compelled to write a good review as I am right now…read more I took my tenor and bari saxes into Holly's Music for some maintenance and gave Holly a list of issues that I knew needed to be addressed. Some notes were stuffy, some were more difficult to control at low volumes, and some played too sharp or flat. I knew some pads and corks needed replacing on both, as well as some adjustments to cups and keys to correct small leaks. She found additional larger issues I was unaware of, like a bent body on the bari, which she corrected. Since repads can be both pricey and labor-intensive, Holly only replaced the necessary ones on each horn, and adjusted/reseated others as needed. Both horns absolutely sang when I brought them home to play! Like your eyes that get gradually worse over time until you realize you may need a new prescription, the tone and playability of the tenor that hadn't been serviced in years slowly got away from me. The horn blows so freely now, and the key action feels great. All the mechanics are much quieter and smoother. I picked up the bari used a couple years ago, so I never had a benchmark on it. It had at least two previous owners and is not the prettiest thing to look at with an impact dent in the neck, but it fit my budget. I am completely amazed at the difference in both the tone and the playability of this horn now. A lot can be done by the player to adjust the intonation of each note, and I can't believe how much (and for how long) I've been compensating on both of these horns. Regardless of how they are playing, I will bring them in to Holly for routine maintenance at least every two years. Best of all, the price of this work was extremely reasonable, and she turned them both around in the timeline I requested. Holly's attention to detail and the precision of her work are top-notch! Treat yourself to a tune-up if it's been a little while since your instrument was last serviced!
