Cons: - Have to pay instructors directly by check. - Have multiple students? Now you write multiple checks. - Won't work with you on an every other week schedule. Happy to bill you for time you can't use. - 10 min late to a lesson? Don't expect them to be there for the rest of the time you paid for. - be prepared to keep track of when you paid and when the next bill is due. - Have to cancel a lesson? You're still paying for it. - Same day cancellations are apparently fine on their end though - no biggie. (See pic)

Fast forward to 2022, and I'm disappointed, took the same saxophone in to get a few problems fixed and a quick once over, played this instrument almost everyday for 5 years and knew it inside and out, was billed for work that I had no idea was needed/problems that never were a problem for me. The best part is the only problem I knew was present wasn't fixed, I mean you come here expecting your instrument to be fixed. To add insult to injury, my brother needed a simple fix on his sax, it was returned broken after something was knocked around and never checked to make sure everything was working. I'm very sad I have to post this but I noticed all the reviews are older and not a proper reflection of the current quality of work.

I called to ask for an associate to look over the set to confirm it's online condition rating as "Great." He cheerfully obliged. I purchased the drums over the phone. Shipping from Ohio to Idaho was only $38! Plus, Guitar Center offers a 45-day return (just bring it to your local GC). Shipping only took a few days and the drums arrived very well packed in three individual boxes. The condition was as described. The only hiccup was that a tom clamp was not included in the shipment. I called the store and spoke to Ops Mgr JD. He couldn't find the clamp that had been in the online photo so he located a new one and shipped it to me. I am very satisfied with the helpfulness of the staff at this store.

Low…read moreend, low quality instruments sold at high prices with the misleading sales pitches by inexperienced individuals. Perhaps its o.k. for the starter musician or parents who don't have a clue about the instruments they're about to buy, but to the professional, its a big, supers-sized let down. If you try to look for, say a Bose L1 system, they only have an imitation brand, or the most generic version. If you're looking for a Spanish style, Nylon string guitar, they only have cheap quality ones, mostly made in China, not Spain. Again, their size is impressive, but to the seasoned musician, its like going to a garage sale with little hope of finding something of quality value.

I went in to get a new string for a guitar, and she went off of me because I didn't use the word Please when I asked if they sold guitar strings? What? She lectured me on how to ask if they sold guitar strings. When I placated her, and said please (in retrospect, I should have just walked out), she answered the question and then said, "Now you need to say Thank You." 0 stars. The service is terrible. The employee is rude and disgusting, and it is no wonder she is working in that raggedy run down shop in NowheresVille, Ohio. I hope she has the town that she deserves.

To my surprise, I found the same two people behind the counter. 35 years. Thats how much experience they have, and probably more, in lessons, sales, repair and service. They know musical instruments better than any "music-mart" or musical instrument store in the area. Thanks to Valley Music, I was playing in my first band by the age of 13, and am still a working musician. If you are interested in musical lessons or sales, I HIGLY RECOMMEND Valley Music over all the other local musical instrument stores in the area.
