The delivery was very fast (right on the next day, as I remember) I first ordered a more expensive clarinet but later sent it back because I changed my mind and decided to buy a cheaper model. I got refunded all 100% of the difference in price and the refund was very very quick which I really appreciate. The impression I got is that the company is not just making money but really is trying to provide the best service possible, so I would very recommend the company to anyone. Thanks Ackerman Music.

I have been shopping at Ackermans for as long as I remember and it is always a joy. The store is…read morecompact yet well organized. They always have an excellent selection of music for both violin and viola at all difficulty levels. The staff are friendly and helpful. I am a music teacher and now live abroad but make a point to visit Ackermans when I visit England each year because they always have new material that I haven't found elsewhere... A top class music store! Definitely worth a visit!

You can tell just by looking into the front widow, that the selection of instruments available in the store is massive. Here you'll find new and second hand instruments at affordable prices. There are prelude alto saxophones that go for around £420 and classical guitars for £49. This is a great place to browse if you are untalented when it comes to music like me or for purchasing instruments for you or children.

This shop stands out in its location, as it is very close to the musical epicentre of Denmark St., but does not get lost in the main strip of music shops. There is a wide range of guitars, with an acoustic room down stairs, and an electric room up stairs. There is a wide range of percussion and various other music paraphernalia as well. I was looking for a trumpet mute for a Christmas present, and after trying a few other stores, I found it at Macari's. It's the little things like that which separate Macari's from the other stores.

Brittens Music store in West Byfleet is a great local music shop and probably one of the best in…read morethe Woking/Byfleet areas. It's a large store which stocks instruments, accessories, sheet music and CDs. Half of the store is dedicated to classical instruments and the second-half to keyboards and guitars. The store will stock most basic instruments for immediate sale. They will order other instruments in, but, if you're looking for something better than stock you'd be better going somewhere where you can try before you order. The store offers a hire and buy scheme for those just starting out and who are unsure whether they will want to purchase an instrument. A repair service is offered which will be good enough for most school grade instruments. Most of the music for the common exam syllabi is stocked although you'll find less for the higher grades. Staff are generally knowledgeable although they tend to be jack of all (instruments) rather than specialists. Music lessons for keyboard and guitar are available in store and come recommended. Lists of tutors are available for other instruments.

I was unable to find them in the US, when my search turned up UK-based Andertons. I phoned the store to clarify some questions about the gear and with the thorough help of Brad, was able to find the exact models I needed. I was planning to have the items shipped to a friend who lives in the UK and then have her ship them to me in CA. however, this was going to cost more, and thanks to Brad's insight, I was able to locate the items more locally. in spite of the fact that I went with the more local route, I still wanted to post this review because: a) the shop appears to be well-stocked with diverse products, b) their customer service was stellar and their knowledge, on point. I would most definitely shop here if I lived closer and hope to visit one day. I recommend Andertons to anyone who's into music and lives in the area to check them out (or shop their online catalogue).

I ordered a left-hand Taylor GS Mini Guitar from this establishment and it was sent promptly and…read morereceived in good condition without damage. However the guitar I received is not even close to being new. It has been out of the box for a very long time (as evidenced by how dry it is and the lack of any semblance of residual odor from the glues and coatings). The gig bag is creased, rumpled, and also has picked up some bad odors and is also completely devoid of any indication that this is a new or even recently opened item. I own three other Taylor guitars actually purchased new from other on-line merchants. They ordered the item from Taylor, received it, checked it, and the forwarded it to me. Not so in this case. It's fairly clear that they boxed up a a display/demo from their shop and sold it to me at full market price as a "new" item when it clearly isn't Given that they operate their shop with the door open (evidenced by their own pictures on their website) with a large number of acoustic guitars in immediate proximity to the door, it betrays a cavalier attitude toward taking care of what they sell. The evident dry state of the guitar I was sent is further proof of that. Needless to say it won't be returned. I've read the reviews form others on G+ and else where regarding how they handle customer service issues (or actively avoid handling them). I consider myself fooled again, duped again, and I won't order from them in the future. I've received similar service from Sam Ash, Guitar Center, and others who have store front locations. It seems they use the online supply chain to dump old product and shop worn things hoping they won't be returned. We'll I won't bother. I'll just re-sell it with an honest description. What will I find out out if I contact Taylor with the serial number? That it was produced in 2013, 2012, 2014 perhaps? Stay tuned. I am going to find out.
