I took my old school band flute here, my very old flute, for new pads and to clean so I can take it…read moreup again. I was told it was too old but I was sentimental. It was a great turn around time and I was ready for practicing. After a month my flute broke playing beeftink. I needed to buy a new flute. I had a flute store close to me although I knew of Carolyn's store, I let distance guide me to try the store in garland. I called ahead to tell them I was interested in purchasing a flute and I would like to try a few. We scheduled on a Friday for a Monday appointment and we decided on three flute before arriving. When I arrived at that garland store I was greeted as if he forgot about our appointment. I was given only one flute to try not the three spoken about. He let me know, in person, he did not have the stock. The room to try the flute was basically a cubical with a door. The guitar lesson next to me was my undesired duet, heard clear as day. It was uncomfortable. I wasn't worried and decided then, I would call Carolyn's store after leaving this garland store and make the appointment I should have made with them. I called Carolyn's store and they made the appointment with me a few days out to make sure I had an assistant in the room with me to help. I arrived and was given 12 flutes to test. 12, what a helpful visit. I had a dedicated assistant that answered all my questions. We stayed in that room for about 3 hours and I was able to take flutes home to trial in my own environment. I am so very grateful to them for all the assistance. I went back in with some final follow up questions and picked a few more headjoints to compare in the booth again before ultimately making my purchase that day. What a fantastic experience at Carolyn's Music Store. I am ever so grateful for them for the entire purchasing experience. I think I needed to be at the first location to prove there really isn't a better flute store than Carolyn's. I highly recommend them for anything flute related.

This is one of the few places that offers banjo lessons, so I am very happy to have found this place.

I must say how impressed I was with Zach who gave my nephew and me an educational lesson on everything you want to know about guitars. It was lovely, and he was very helpful as my nephew soaked in as much as he could. The nice thing is they do not try to upsell their equipment. I was actually the one who attempted to get my nephew, Josh, to purchase a higher-end guitar. But Joshua had an idea of what he wanted and how or when he'll be picking up his new guitar while away for college. Thank you, Zach... you were instrumental in the decision-making process for Joshua. We will definitely return for an upgrade one day and/or for future lessons. Also, thank you Eli... you were informative as well. Great folks at Frisco Music Center

I was a 5-star rater of Tone Shop until I went to sell a collection of guitars. Took weeks for…read morethem to respond and I had to follow up daily and then the price they gave was a great deal for them - not me, but I was willing so after hauling the guitars to their store, then it was every little issue with the guitars. the jack has static - 1979 would have that and a simple spray of deoxit but that equated to 500 dollars off their offer. The deal was for them, not me - looking around at their inventory, everything was marked up high so they were going to make double or triple from every guitar in the deal so I decided this was not good for me and called it off. No help getting the guitars in and no help getting the guitars out. And they were stuck on one they wanted to get for dirt cheap. Not a fair offer but lowball. I work in business and know there needs to be a margin, but theirs is around 80% if not 90%. Forget it!! They may have great items but run! You can get a better deal anywhere else with a staff that is not trying to blead you of every dime. Too bad since I proudly wore my Tone Shop Guitar shirt, told everyone about how great they are and the shirt has been tossed. Bottom line - you will get ripped off selling to a store anyway, but the lowball price and then the minor items their skilled staff can easily go through were obstacles and they used that for leverage. Real sleazy practice and a waste of my time! Again - the waste of time was the largest insult of all! Great items and I'm sure the staff is nice, but after this experience I will never buy or recommend this store. This could have been so much better and I'm still very surprised with such a low offer I was willing accept and they wanted to reduce that more for a collection that they would have been making profit hand over fist with the traffic they get.
