I really want to support local music stores over big box retailers or online sellers, and as a…read morelocal, experienced musician I generally try to start local first. Unfortunately, my recent experience at Langlois Music Co was disappointing due to their outdated return policy. In today's market, where most reputable music retailers offer reasonable return or exchange options, their no refunds (or exchange) policy makes it difficult to justify purchasing gear here. I bought some speaker cables that turned out to not be an option for me. I hadn't even used them and they still wouldn't let me return or offer to exchange them or even store credit. Very odd. The staff was courteous, but policies matter, and this one ultimately pushes me away from advocating local in this case. I'm sharing this so other musicians are aware before making a purchase. I hope the store modernizes this policy in the future, because I'd prefer to support a local shop rather than a big box store or online retailer.

I'm old... went in to Modesto store literally to hope for a set screw for a Grover head for one of my Gibsons. The manager Shane Green stopped what he was doing and did everything with himself and tech to track one down for me - customer service was amazing since he did not charge me for it. The level of service made me stop and pick up a new PRS and a tele ultra.... went in for a 5 cent screw and walked out with 4500.00 more in equipment and a smile on my face. This is what customer service does for a business - thank you Shane and GC as always!

Roger Coss is an excellent piano teacher! I have been taking online piano classes with Roger during…read morethe pandemic and am an adult learning piano for the first time. Roger is a wonderful teacher to work with -- he listens to my goals and allows for a lot of flexibility in setting my path and choosing pieces, while providing the guidance I need to achieve those goals. I am learning classical piano and Roger always provides fantastic advice on whatever piece I'm working on. He drives me to learn pieces thoroughly without being pushy. As an adult, fitting piano into a busy lifestyle can be challenging, but Roger knows how to provide motivation and strategize with me to make sure I practice every day. He's also extremely knowledgeable about many styles of music and music theory and recommends a number of resources -- books, podcasts, videos, etc, during and outside-of lessons, to support my learning. Roger and I get along really well, so I always look forward to our lessons! Taking virtual lessons with Roger has been fantastic. His studio has multiple camera angles, with one that provides a birds-eye view of his keyboard. I live in NYC, so the virtual lesson arrangement is essential for me, and it's great to work with someone who has tailored their program for virtual learners. My playing has come a long way since we started lessons together and they are 100% worth the price -- if you're an adult learner on the fence about taking lessons, DO IT!
