The staff was friendly and not at all pushy (how I recall the drum dept. in most chains like Guitar Center). They are locally owned actual musicians who have plenty of familiarity with their stuff and the field in general. I picked up one lightly used accessory at a fair price, and plan to revisit the shop when I can combine trips, because I find myself driving past this shop conveniently located right on 95th Street in O.P., KS often. They have a nice mix of new and vintage merchandise. The shop is on multiple floors; they have some rooms that are maybe mostly for lessons, but also enable you to rock out without an audience to try gear out. They're even willing to bargain a little (within limits). Highly recommended, 5 big Yelp! rating stars

Price can get a little steep, but if you can afford it, it's one of the best places we've been for music lessons. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Kyle was terrific with the kids and would always stop to talk music with me when he could. Jeremy is extremely helpful with anything you need and would answer all my questions about drum tech, even helping us find a good deal on an electric kit for our son to practice on at home. Hopefully one day, we will be able to start lessons here again.

What instrument? What size of that instrument? Do instruments even come in different sizes...?!? How much does that cost? Do you rent or buy? If it doesn't work out, do we give it back? All of these questions and more were answered when we walked into REW a couple nights later! Oh, boy, and we weren't alone! I think just about every music-inspired kiddo from a tri-state area was there getting fitted and equipped with their instruments. But, the folks at REW were ready! They were amply staffed, and the team (yes, "TEAM") of folks who answered all our questions, got us the VIOLA of my fifth-grader's dreams, and checked out with a lovely payment plan setup that night were all absolutely fantastic! I had ZERO idea or expectation of how and where to start on this journey; upon walking into REW, all of that washed away, and we're now a few weeks into our first year of strings, and my fifth grader couldn't be happier!
