It has the most accurate bounce/feel, and its tone changes when you play on different areas and/or play at different volumes, just as a real drum would. It fits onto a cymbal stand, and is virtually unbreakable. I have not been to this store I feel the need to express that this product is absolutely exceptional because these folks make it.

You can probably find whatever you are looking for here. My mother and I had to pick up my sisters instrument from the repair center and they were very kind.

I don't know I don't work there, but I do now that this whole thing really sucked. I reached out to customer service who said that they understood how I was feeling and that somebody would reach out to me. It's been a week not a word from anybody and it's just come to unfortunately I will no longer go to Guitar centers ever again you're better off developing a relationship with a local boutique place somewhere that treat you like a person instead of these corporate monsters that don't actually give a shit about music. Have a great day.

I had to go here recently to pick up a harmonica, not a guitar, for my kid for school. I was…read moresurprised there was a wide selection from cheap plastic makes, to expensive well-made styles. They definitely had what I needed in a pinch. The service here was also exceptional. The workers guided me to where I could find the instruments as well as answered questions throughout my selection process. If I need to make another purchase that is music related in the near future, I will certainly go here.

Brighton Music Center is absolutely the best! Why? Because Richard, Beth, and the entire Brighton…read moreteam have always placed their customer's needs above all else. Because they care about you as an individual, and not just because you made a purchase in their store. Richard and Beth are also huge advocates for ALL music education programs within the Beaver Valley as well as the Pittsburgh area. They have provided funding to sponsor the competitive high school marching band circuit in western Pennsylvania as well as the annual Beaver County marching band festival. Several years ago, Brighton Music covered the necessary expenses to fly in one of the nation's most highly acclaimed motivational leadership experts to conduct a day-long workshop with Beaver County marching bands. They also have provided funding to bring world-renown music educators and composers to conduct in-service seminars with local music teachers. Whether you need a guitar pick, a band instrument, a new drum kit or an advanced sound system, Brighton Music should be your go-to place! As a former resident of western PA, I now work in another state. As a musician, I only wished that we had a music store experience like Brighton Music Center any where near me. None of the stores in my current tri-state area even come remotely close. Thanks Brighton Music Center - I miss being a regular at the NB store.

The repair would have costed me more than the guitar was worth, and instead of taking the opportunity to make money, they suggested I repair it myself.

They're very honest people, and we had a lovely conversation about guitars. I'm looking forward to going back there!

I bet they have lots of return customers. They have a real guitar luthier so this place really has everything a guitar player would want. Although I don't live in the area I will be back in the future next year when I'm passing through. This is a special place.
