When We met he gave the bass a thorough inspection and walked me through the work that needed to be done. He also suggested that the bass be shielded to eliminate a really bad buzz. He was upfront about what NEEDED immediate attention vs. what he simply recommended. I ended going with all of his recommendations, but appreciated the fact that he didn't try to up sell me on unnecessary repairs. I also love the fact that he was able to complete the work in a couple of days. The sound and feel are A+++ and the buzz is now non existent. Kurt is knowledge, courteous, professional and very good at what he does. He's gained a customer for life in my and I would recommend him to anyone!

Super impressed with this small shop, they have an incredible guitar instructor named Henry, who is…read morepleasant, nice and just an awesome dude.

We had a great experience with Milano Music Center with an online rental for both a school band and…read morean orchestra instrument. We knew they had the best instrument rental plan in Arizona because they had so many 5 reviews. They carry all the major brass and woodwind brands like Yamaha, Bach, Selmer, Eastman, and Backun. For guitars they carry Fender guitars and Gibson guitars plus Martin guitars and Taylor guitars. Since their HUGE music store is in Mesa and we live in Glendale the best part was we used their online rental service and they had an option to pick up the saxophone rental and violin rental at one of their 23 partner rental stores all over Maricopa County or one of their Educational Representatives could drop it off at the school for us. SUPER CONVENIENT! I highly recommend Milano Music Center !

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

Our daughter has been taking piano lessons 9 years. Unfortunately, her last teacher moved away…read more We enrolled our daughter in this "school" which is basically an outsourcing group [third party] who is overpriced, impersonal and provide ok service for the pricing. When I called and spoke to the lady taking calls, she was hurried as I asked questions about their methods and approach in teaching. That should have been my first sign. We ended up taking about 6 lessons and decided to go with someone more personal and interested in the student development and training rather than bottom-line people-as-numbers approach.

I highly recommend Musicians Made and am sure that anyone interested in drum, guitar or piano lessons will be very satisfied with the results.
