A big shoutout to Star Music and especially to manager Jeanmarie! Our first encounter with Star and…read moreJeanMarie waswhen we were new in the area and went to Star Music to rent our daughter's school French Horn. Everything was smooth ! As my daughter and I chatted, Jeanmarie noted from our conversation that we had recently moved and welcomed us to South Carolina and to Columbia. She's easy to talk to and so affable . And her knowledge of instruments and music is astounding. She answered the thousand questions that I had about the city and services and restaurants and my neighborhood. My daughter and I felt as though we were chatting with a long-time friend. So impressed with Star Music and JeanMarie, we went back to purchase a guitar for my husband for his 50th birthday. I'm embarrassed that I don't recall the name of the salesman who assisted us, but JeanMarie saw us and remembered our names, made sure that all was going well . And we ended up going back AGAIN for a ukulele!! Our family cannot more highly recommend Star Music. They care so much about the school instrument program , they are incredibly knowledgeable about all things instrument and the service is fast, friendly and actually fun. Thank you, Star Music , for making our transition to Columbia so smooth. You have customers for life!! Katie and Fam

I dropped several bass clarinets off to Star on December 5th, 2025. At the time, the tech was not…read moreavailable, and I was not quoted a price or a timeframe, but left them there knowing it would be a while before I got the instruments. On December 12th, I called Star and asked for an update, and I was told the tech would start on it in January as they have a large school instrument backlog and was quoted a price. On January 12th, I called and asked for an update and they told me it would be 2 weeks, as they still have a large school instrument backlog. Today, January 26th, two weeks later, I called twice. At 1pm when I called, they said they had no info and would call the tech for me and call me back. At 5:14pm, I called again as they had not returned my call, and they said it would be another two weeks before they would even start on my instrument, still citing a large backlog, saying that there were 10 instruments in front of mine. At this point it has been too long, and I am ready to pick up my instrument and take it somewhere else, so I offer to head down there before they close, only to be told I can't pick it up today, because my instruments are at their shop. So I offer to just drive over to their shop instead to save them the trip, and they say that I cannot go to their shop, without providing a reason why. I would not recommend that anyone go to star music to get their own personal instruments repaired, they clearly do not have the staffing nor the organizational skills to handle their business, and they get defensive and rude when you call them out for poor business practices. I simply do not trust a business that has a backlog of school instruments after the school year is a month in. They either need to hire more people, or stop accepting such a high volume of repair work, it is simply unacceptable that a customer should have to wait almost two months with no proactive communication from Star. I've tried multiple technicians in the area and have found that only Pecknel music in Greeneville is capable of delivering timely, quality work with an accurate upfront quoted price. I have never had any of my instruments take longer than two weeks at Pecknel. I hope not to have to deal with Star Music ever again

She was very…read morewelcoming and accepting of my traumatic brain injury causing me to need things done in an unordinary way than I thought she usually does business. She told me there might be the pair of headphones around, but a new manager moved things around and they might be there but, hidden. I didn't have time for such a marvelous tail. It's a good family business
