It's unfortunate because all of the music stores (or the 3 that I've visited) here in Stockton are…read moreall lacking terribly. I've been a musician for over 20 years. Initially this place gives you nostalgia. You feel like you're back at your old music store as a kid. They've got many of the accessories needed for brass and wind students. He also had some pretty cool harmonicas as well. But, it is as others have stated. He has this attitude that feels like "you don't know what you're talking about, you're not going to purchase anything, so therefore, you need to get out right now." He didn't say those things but that's how it felt. Even when he gave good information about the products and tried to be nice (I can tell that he was trying) it still felt cold. I want to love this place. I feel bad for him simply because most of the mom and pop music stores have been obliterated by big box stores like Sam Ash and Guitar Center. So maybe this is his response to that.

In Spring 2022, we enrolled our children in ballet classes.

Our initial intention was to teach our children perseverance and not easily giving up in the process of learning ballet. We wanted them to stand tall and not hunch when they're on their feet. Under the dedicated guidance of Mrs. Chris for over a year, their ballet skills have made significant improvements. They can confidently perform the learned dance steps in the recital which held every six months. As parents, this makes us incredibly proud.

It took almost a month to get the saxophone back and when we did it was still having the same issues.I paid $228 for the service that was not done and when I called to get my money back the owner refused and said the only thing I can do is take it back and have them fix it again. When I refused that service because I don't trust them now, he refused to hear my concerns and got more and more upset until he hung up on me. When I called back and told him he hung up on me he said "yes I did and I can refuse service to anyone and I'll do it again." Please DO NOT use them for any kind of services, they'll take your money and not do the work you pay so much money for.

If you are a music teacher or a musician I have a cautionary tale for you. Over 3 months ago, I…read moremade arrangements with Gottschalks Music in Modesto to have an instrument rental night for my students where they would come to my school and my kids could get instruments from them. Even got a phone call last week confirming that they would see me on Monday (8/15). Well, today at 3:45pm I received a phone call from Gottschalks telling me that they had to cancel my instrument rental night. I was taken aback! All i could muster was a, "Why?!?!" And then I was told by the employee that "I was told they we're not doing that and we have to cancel". When I asked why they would do that, after we had this planned and confirmed months ago, he said, "I didn't get a good reason why"... I was so livid. All I got was a "Sorry..." I told them that they really screwed me over and that it's their loss... Then they had the audacity to say, "Well if you still want information about rentals, I can send that to you." I responded with, "If you think I'll EVER do business with you again after the stunt you just pulled, you just be out of your mind!" Then he said, "Sorry..." and I hung up the call. I have never dealt with such a level of unprofessional incompetence in my life! Luckily, this story has a happy ending, and my faith in humanity has been restored. I reached out to Ingram and Brauns Musik Shoppe and told them about my situation. Not only can they host a rental night for me but, I don't have to go through the pain of trying to reschedule the whole event because they can even come this Monday on my original date. So, moral of the story: STEER CLEAR OF GOTTSCHALKS MUSIC! The most undependable, and flaky of all business. Shower Ingram & Brauns with all your affection and business!
