This place has every musical instrument you can think of and they have lessons for each them. Teachers prices vary but are fair. The staff are very friendly and ready to help. They also fix most each instrument and repair prices are fair Yeah I struggle to find a safe place that I would trust my violin to be fixed that. I took mine in and in two days it was fix and I was more than please with the cost read more

See all

They've always been our go-to for youth instrument instruction and instruments. I've always been satisfied with this business and recommend it. read more

My dad always came here for instrument repair work. Has gotten a little more expensive, but times have changed. Stopped by about a year ago. Great people and great service. read more

These are people you have to know how to deal with. Good selection, but don't put up with their arrogance. Talk to them like they talk to you and you might get a good deal. read more

The sales people are dishonest. I brought in a very nice student violin to trade for a guitar. After I traded it I found out the violin was worth 3 times the price of the guitar, my fault for not researching in advance. I came back to ask for a return of the trade only 2 days later and the salesperson said he already sold the violin, which I highly doubt. The point is I got taken on the value of the violin - unfair instrument valuation for a trade. read more

Most expensive music store in the Dayton area. They have a remarkable selection of the exact same instruments you can find at Guitar Center, Sam Ash or any online retailer with about a 40-60% mark up. I was in need of a hardshell case for tour. The case online was between $29-$39. When I arrived at Hauer, the case was priced at $99. This place will only be in business until the 60 year old and over crowd, that can't use the internet, dies off. Hauer should feel ashamed at the way they rip off their customers. read more

A wonderful music store with a wide variety of instruments and accessories. I purchased a clavinova 709. I am very happy. read more

I was gonna give them the benefit of the doubt, NOT this time! The service at the front desk is excellent, however, communication with the instructors has really taken a turn. We were trying to adjust our lesson schedule this past winter as a way to organize things for the new year, however my instructor told us that we couldn't, as we would have to refer me to a new instructor. I was only gonna take two months off, it's not like I couldn't take online video lessons as a way to substitute my progress. On top of paying $200+ max each month for lessons, the instructors don't even show up every week, and try to dictate when they want you to come in for lessons. We already have our own things we stress about. Manipulative instructors, incompetence at its finest. Disappointing. read more

Had a great experience today at Hauer, we are currently in Dayton for the week touring with Les Miserables and my colleague needed some work on his Yamaha 861, had a literal small hole where his hand rests on the rotors just due to the age of the horn. Gary (the brass tech/repairman) was very attentive and did a fantastic job patching his horn and squeezed him in on the same day and did the repair in just over an hour. Fantastic attention to detail and in terms of his patchwork, it is just as good as any patch I've seen come out of The Landress' shop in NYC and from Ken Pope in Boston and at a fraction of the price. The shop also had a great selection and stock of valve oil and grease- Hetmans, monster, etc. can't recommend this shop enough! read more

Went to rent a instrument for my son for school and the man was rude, short with us. Refuse to rent to us. Will not go there for anything anymore. Will drive an extra 1/2 an hour to get what we need. read more
