My family has been renting/buying/repairing from Dan and his team for two years. They have always…read morebeen so flexible, accommodating, and knowledgeable. This week, they stepped up big time with a last minute rescue on a sizing error of mine with my kids cello. The communication from them has always been excellent. My impression is that they are committed to instilling an appreciation for music in young people. I love the community feel here and look forward to many more years of working with them.

Great store and had a fascinating talk with the owner. I'll stop in again when in Indianapolis.read more

They managed to delete my review from Google, so here it is:…read more 5/2/25 Well, I should have known better. I really wanted to do business with a local music store. Been in several times before, owner didn't make me feel real welcome, but thought I would give it another chance. Stopped by on the way home looking for a practice guitar amp. Had looked at prices online different brand. Zane Franklin, "The Prince/Sales Manager" helped me (out of my money). Said, "I have a used Blackstar ID Core 40 V2 that I can get you a deal on" of course we all like deals, so I said ok. He brought it in the room and said "I can get this for you for the same price as the Blackstar ID Core 20 V4, $229. Being bigger and better (I assumed, bad move) I liked the sound of it, thought why not, I'll take it. Made the mistake of googling the amp after I made the purchase. The V2 is obsolete, and the V4, brand new sells for $229, the price I paid for a used amp. Never buy something from Zane that you don't know the price of elsewhere. He made sure he had me sign the receipt, and of course I wasn't paying attention to the words right above my signature "ALL SALES FINAL NO REFUNDS". I claim responsibility for being taken advantage of, it's what happens when you are in a hurry. There won't be a second time. I will go to Guitar Center or drive to Fort Wayne and go to Sweetwater. Thanks Zane, you got me. ***UPDATE**** My google review was not deleted, google did not post it due to it having a link in it. Once I deleted the link it was immediately posted. Now the good part, 12 minutes after posting, Zane called me and apologized for the mistake he had made regarding the sale price and refunded a reasonable amount of the purchase price. Thank you Zane for making this right!

I've learned so much about technique and theory, I've gone from only knowing open chords and a couple bar chords, to following tabs and chord sheets without a problem and huge progress in knowing and playing all kinds of bar chords as well.

As long as you put in the time and effort, you really won't be disappointed.

From endless hours of practice to the classic case of being 'stuck in a rut', he can relate to any stage of your guitar journey.

Vladamir was so kind and helpful with all of my questions and didnt push me to purchase anything. He gave me options and ranges of the prices on the services and products i asked about. He was so knowledgeable and I felt his love for music glimmer through our conversarions about his experience getting exposed to music at a young age. The pricing was also very fair and competitive, and for the knowledge, services and the local violin shop experience, i am grateful there are shops like this in the area and think they offer a way better vibe and experience that's just not the same as ordering online. Perfect for an adult instrument learner to frequent.
