I visited Infiniti Strings to purchase a violin, case and bow. Ryan's positive, patient and…read morewelcoming attitude, combined with his in-depth knowledge, made Infiniti Strings the best experience we had while shopping for a violin. Ryan demonstrated excellent product knowledge throughout our initial visits and our return visit for a case, which helped us feel confident about our purchase. The process of finding the right violin was distinctive from other strings businesses we visited. Ryan asked questioned, listened to my feedback, as well as feedback from my music teacher to determine which violin was best for me. He has a profound knowledge of the violins available in the store and what makes each one unique. I highly recommend Infiniti Strings, in particular Ryan, if you are looking for a strings instrument or product.

We've had occasion to come here many times over the years as my daughter's a music student. Every…read moretime I've either come in or dealt with anyone here over the phone, it's been a great experience. The store has been renovated within the last couple of years and is more or less divided into two major spaces - classic instruments, keyboards and rentals at one area to the right and back when you come in, and the mostly guitars and drums in the main section coming right into the entrance. They have a lot on hand to look at and try out firsthand. The print music selection is getting thinner and thinner over the years, but you can order just about anything you need. It may take a couple of weeks depending on what you need and when you make your request in their ordering cycle, but they're very good at locating what's needed and processing your order efficiently. Last time I needed a book, all I had to do was call and boom - the staff looked it up, confirmed the details, processed my payment and I had my receipt over e-mail in minutes. When it arrived at the store, my daughter promptly received her e-mail notification and Bob's our uncle. They carry several brands of all the instruments they sell, and also have used options, which is great for those either on a budget or not sure whether they want to invest so much in a new-to-them instrument. No matter what you're looking for, they have so many knowledgeable staff, someone will be able to answer just about all of your questions. Most recently, we came in to audition some instruments for rental as my daughter is picking up an additional instrument to her primary. Lucas was very thorough and patient going through all 3 of the potential instruments she wanted to try, and answered all her questions about specs, comparable items, etc. He went through the different pricing and this includes not just straight rentals but rent-to-own options as well. Even hub, who can't play a thing, found cool items to stay occupied and ended up buying some Rush merchandise for himself. Don't worry about having to hang a while because they have their own washroom facilities too. Always a good experience.

Got a few special orders for pickup after Purolator lost our initial guitar purchase (terrible…read moreservice from Purolator, if you order online I suggest shipping insurance). Unfortunately it was a discontinued guitar so we had to grab a demo and didn't want to risk shipping an order that might get lost again. We called for a special order from Nate and it went relatively smoothly. When the order was ready for pickup, we went in store, and Sandra was very helpful and accommodating. The first order was a demo transferred from Quebec, so she let us try out the guitar in store, and we found some issues with the tone knob. She got a tech to help fix the tone knob, and the guitar was otherwise in decent condition, so we kept it. She also noted 1 year warranty and a free setup that can be claimed later, which was great to know especially for used/demo purchases. We were happy with the first order so we asked her for a second special order from the Burlington store, and it came in damaged unfortunately, even though we ordered new (looked like the package wasn't prepared properly from the Burlington store that shipped it). The bottom edge of the guitar was completely chipped, and was pretty dirty/scuffed. It seems that new does not mean unopened, but rather that it has not been on the store display before. Luckily we were also able to try this at the store to find out. The manager offered a discount but we really wanted a new guitar, so we did a third special order from the Owen Sound location. This time things went a lot more smoothly and the guitar came in great condition, and was packaged for transport properly. Sandra ensured us that the package had not been opened before which was great news. She had even kept us in the loop during the entire process, letting us know when it will be handled and when to expect the order. Looks like each store has variations in customer service, logistics, and handling of guitars, so it might be a hit or miss sometimes, but luckily we had a good experience with Sandra and the team at this location. My only criticisms are that these variations made it pretty frustrating to purchase when they don't work out as planned (even with a great sales rep), and selling opened guitars as new without checking its condition thoroughly is not great practice. I would suggest anyone looking to purchase from Long and McQuade to thoroughly check the guitar even if it is new, and perhaps find a good sales rep that can help you ease the experience.
