I've taken instruments to Chantilly music for over a decade, off-and-on. From elementary school to…read morea college music major to eventually teaching to gigging and setups, I've had great experiences buying, having repairs done, and having setups done here. I think the most instructive story to date, though, would be the time I was about to bring in a guitar to get set up and hastily grabbed a bass on the way out the door too, figuring "this hasn't been played in a few years, it's safe to assume it needs a setup too." I hadn't been in years. I had just moved back to the area and there was no reason for anyone at the shop to know me or treat me differently. I dropped off the guitar and the bass asking for new strings on the guitar and a setup on each. I know they do their setups over at Reston Music off-site, meaning they'd have to transport it there and back to the technician. When I came to get them a few days later, the bass came back with a note that said "intonation is fine, strings are already very low -- no charge. Let me sum that up: I just hastily assumed my old, neglected bass needed a setup on the way out the door of my house, I dropped it off fully intending to pay for a setup, and it was already fine. They could've just charged me and handed it back without touching it and I'd have been none the wiser, but they spent time and gas moving it around and looking at it just to tell me honestly that it was fine like it was and I didn't need to pay them for it. I love this whole family of stores. Ernie, who works the counter frequently at the Chantilly location, really knows his stuff across the whole line of instruments and the brands and quality of replacement parts, and he won't hesitate to help you figure out exactly what you need *within your budget,* outlining the cost-benefit for your options. This place operates with integrity and attention-to-detail and they really take care of their customers. I don't take my instruments anywhere else.

He absolutely loves it and loves the fact that he's learning to form chords already and getting to play songs he knows in a group setting. Earlier this year, my husband and I were in the very first 2 adult band sessions learning and performing songs live from the 80s and 90s. You might want to have some basic instrumental/vocal experience for the adult sessions. We really hit the ground running and were playing full songs by first session but don't let that stop you. Everyone, including the instructors, are incredibly supportive. Highly recommend the programs here for the young and older. It's a complete blast.

If your lessons fall on a holiday, you still get charged. The lesson is placed in a makeup bin which expires in 30 days. I've asked not to charge me so I'm not always trying to catchup. No good reason given why they must charge for days they are closed. They charge $42 for 30 minutes classes. By the time they walk back and get settled, it's 25 minutes. One teacher had to use the restroom and didn't makeup for the time he was gone. Also, he spent most of the lesson on his tablet instead of teaching. I was told the tablet is used to document what he's teaching. How could he be teaching if he's walking around on his tablet? During this time, he had my daughter playing the same notes over and over.
