I recently brought in my luthier made uke and they were able to diagnose why the A string kept coming off. I love going in there and browsing all the books- if they don't have something, they honestly try to get it for you and they have been super patient with me when my accident prevented me from picking up my uke. Had a loooong talk with one of the guys about the great music of the late sixties and seventies and never felt once that i was being rushed away. When music is part of your soul, you can talk about it all day long. Great guys, great service!

Consulted with the owner of this company on Sept. 20th, regarding repair of my violin. Agreed to a…read morereasonable quote regarding cost and time, $140 and two weeks for restringing the violin and bow, repairing the pegs and replacing the tuners, left the violin with them that day. I have not heard from the company since. I have called four times, and visited the storefront once {today, four weeks since leaving my violin} the shop was not open, despite it being their published business hours, and I haven't heard from them since the day I left my violin with them. I am furious and want my violin back. This is not an appropriate way to run a business. I could understand if something had come up and they had reached out to me, if there were a delay or an illness, and they told me it was going to take longer, I'd be entirely happy to let them have the time they needed. If something came up that the repair would cost more, and they communicated that, I'd be pleased to agree. This lack of contact, and non-availability makes me wonder if I'll ever see my instrument again.

Mr. Bryant is truly the best piano teacher anyone could ask for -- patient, inspiring, and deeply dedicated to his students' success. What makes this place so special is how much they genuinely care about each child's growth and progress. Their encouragement and support know no bounds. It's not just about learning music -- it's about building confidence, discipline, and a love for the art. This is a wonderful community where kids and families come together to celebrate music and each other. We are so grateful to be part of it!

5 Star service from Stevie!…read more My daughter came home from school Monday showing me that a piece of her cork came off. Unfortunately for us, she also had an upcoming band concert Wednesday evening. All of the other local music shops told me it would take 4 days to a week or more to repair. I was happy and relieved when Stevie said he may be able to get it done in time, I just needed to bring it in and get evaluated. Thankfully, he was able to complete the repair in time for the concert and we picked up some cork grease as well. Would definitely bring her clarinet back anytime we need a repair or other service done.

We were recommended Corona music from the school so I had good expectations unfortunately that was…read morenot the case. I went in they quoted me $90 for a cleaning and shine with an estimate of 1-2 week turnaround time. I was called the next day to inform me the instrument was going to need more then expected and it went up to $160 SAME turnaround time. My very inpatient son after a week in a half asked me to call and get an update. I did but they didn't have an update. A little over 2 weeks I called a they say instrument will be in on Friday. I call they say not ready they will me it went on like that for what felt like for ever.

My name is Mary-Michelle Worthy on YT, sometimes I have issues with males in music, (people sometimes think I'm famous, jokes on them). Rollie was the perfect person for me to run into.

Stop by this place since my boyfriend want to get cajon bag to protect his instrument. Upon…read morearrival, a group of staff were talking to each other and not paying attention who is coming. My boyfriend and I were walking around in aisle looking for the cajon bag many times. No one came to assist us. We try to flag the staff down in front by waving our hands and the group of staff ignored our needs as they were testing out a new guitar joking around. I literally had to call at them and one of them look like they are tired of their job. The girl with a black ponytail asked, what do you want looking pissed off because she had to break away from her group. The attitude is no good from her. She said go inside the cajon room and it will be there, immediately went back talking with the group. The fact that I had to wave and call at them loudly to get their attention is such a big disgrace. I never have to do that before at any Guitar Center I've been to in Montebello or Riverside. All I really want is for the staff to help me when my boyfriend is trying to purchase something for his instrument. After my boyfriend purchase the item, the girl cashier who has straight blonde hair went straight to talking to her coworkers. I mean, come on I had to call her out where is my receipt? Her face is so mad at me just because I asked for my receipt. What if the bag is broken or my boyfriend do not like it? Like what people say if you don't do your job properly, you will do it twice. The overall customer service experience at this location is relatively bad. The company needs to learn how to train their employees on how to become active at customer service. I understand how there are slow days but become considerate toward customers. We are the one who put sales into your business so it is running smoother.
