The highlight was talking to Josh, someone you could tell was there just because of the love of guitars. He was awesome, gave me 1 on 1 help for like 30 mins, answered all of my many questions, and gave me all the insight I need to get started in the guitar world. If I ever go back for lessons I'm requesting him specifically. I'm still shopping around for my perfect guitar but I'd be glad to give my business to guitar center.

We got some help in narrowing down our options. But before making the purchase, we decided to book an appointment at the Music Exchange. We were met with Jeff and he was clearly very knowledgeable and educated us in the various options that were available and finally recommended one that fit our budget and hit all of our checkboxes. The entire interaction was very friendly and easy going without any pressure tactics to upsell anything. After the paperwork was all done, the delivery was set for a week later, and Chris called a day before the delivery, then showed up right on time on the day of the delivery. He assembled the piano carefully and took all the packaging materials with him. We were left with a beautiful sounding piano right where we wanted it. If you are looking to buy a piano, the Music Exchange is a 'must' stop.

I got my first guitar in July 1960. I've bought and sold 1,000's of guitars., amps, drums,…read morekeyboards, etc... No exaggeration. I owned a 1,500 square foot musical instrument shop from 1998 to 2007. So I know equipment. I've visited Skip's several times over the past few decades. But my last visit was long enough ago that it was at the former Watt Ave location. This new store is visually impressive. Plenty of space which gives the room a majestic feel. It's dramatically lighted. The overhead music system is not obnoxiously loud. It's a fun place to browse. The inventory is all good quality. Every item is a real musical instrument, not a junky toy. No Amazon type crap here. The 5 staff members I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. I stopped in with my family to buy some Xmas gifts for the grandchildren and a few cables for myself. I pre-shopped the items on the Skip's website. The items were in stock. We bought a mini electric guitar for the 6 year old grand niece who actually knows already how to play some basic chords. We also got her a small amplifier, cables, guitar strap... Everything she will need to start her musical journey. Pricing is pretty standard MSRP. I know the price structure at wholesale and retail level and was not going to haggle for a discount out of respect. Profit margin after all the business expenses is meager. There's a high riser stage for in store events & concerts. There's also programs when students perform. Great experience for students to begin public performances (Where, hopefully, they get prepared for paychecks when they graduate to playing at bar gigs, weddings, birthdays and maybe even the big time (if they work really, really hard)). If you or you little virtuoso wants some gear I highly recommend that you shop here rather than at Guitar Center. Shop local, support a family owned business rather than a corporation.

I took my Gibson Les Paul in for a new bone nut replacement. Messaged him the next day requesting…read moreto go with his suggestion of going with TUSQ XL. He said no problem and we agreed on it. Two weeks later when expected to picked up he says he doesnt have the nut and still needs to order it. Sure, I wait another week. Picked up my guitar to see very poor workmanship. The nut slot heights are not only not cut to my specifications that I requested. G string was cut too way too low compared to rest. But also the new nut has gaps all over the place and does not sit full bearing within the slot. It's a combination of maybe not cleaning out any existing glue or not filing the seat level. He said I was giving him anxiety by my expectations of good workmanship. In response I said im going to call this work order a loss, im swallowing the loss of ~$170 and i'll take my business elsewhere. It is not right if he is accepting this nut as the best he has to offer as workmanship and not fixing what is to be expected. Photos attached.

Take your preconceived notions about piano lessons, and set them aside. Read on if you are looking…read morefor something that will work for you or your kid. When I was a kid, I took piano from a nice lady. A sweet, boring lady in fact. It was all about endless scales, boring classical music, and painful practicing. I was the type of kid who couldn't sit still for long and wanted to be outside doing something active. I ultimately quit piano after a short while. It's one of my biggest regrets. I wish I had kept with it. Now I'm all grown up and have a son who showed interest in piano. He's just like me - he'd rather be outside on a skateboard, a dirt bike, or playing baseball than doing anything else. So, of course I figured he would suffer the same fate I did with regard to the piano. Thanks to Kevin Meyer, my kid is still at it. I researched piano methods and teachers, including talking to other parents in my neighborhood. I decided on the Simply Music method, since kids enjoy it - they are playing fun songs right from the beginning. Teachers were a tough choice... Do I go with one close to home when they get somewhat mixed reviews, or do we go across town to Kevin, who is universally loved by Yelpers and personal friends alike? (My friend's daughter "adores him".) We, of course, chose Kevin. Kevin is not the pale, skinny, milktoasty, bespectacled piano teacher I expected. He's a younger athletic guy who looks like he should be holding a piano up over his head more than he looks like he should be sitting down playing one. But, immediately it becomes evident that he is a talented, soft-spoken guy with a knack for teaching. My son can relate to him, and he motivates him to do amazing things. If you are looking for a piano-learning experience that is fun and interesting, with a musician who is also a skilled instructor, Kevin is your guy.

Poor customer service. I took an instrument to them to be repaired, called them 6 weeks later and…read morethey did not know where my instrument was. Megan said they would call me back. I called them back later that day and the next day, the manager did not bother to get on the phone with me but was relaying messages to Megan on the phone. They assured me they would be calling me back. The next day. I received a text message letting me know it would be six more weeks and the manager would update me. I had yet to talk to a manager or receive an apology. I texted back that it was unacceptable since they already had it 6 weeks and they lost it. They said they would try to get it done as soon as possible. Two weeks later I was informed the manager would be picking up the instrument and would contact me. A week later Gabe contacted me and was very apologetic for the situation. This was the first apology that I had received. Gabe is the reason this review got one star. He went above and beyond to apologize, communicate and called me more than once. I did get the instrument back. However, when I went to go pick it up, Megan acted like she did not want to help me or recognize that I was in the store. I paid over $300 to have the instrument fixed and my daughter informed me not all the pads were replaced. Very disappointed in this music store and the customer service received. I will be using a different music store in the future

The inside has such a cool relaxed music studio vibe, I think I spent most of the time walking around and checking everything out from the different rooms to all of the awesome artwork on the walls. I even love their giant wall where all the kids sign and doodle on it! When we arrived, one of the owners welcomed us and gave us a tour. I love that they have glass doors so you can see other students practicing everything from drums, to bass, to singing! As much as you'd think all of the noise could be a bit much, I actually found it relaxing and liked hearing all the different instruments. My daughter's singing coach (Cale) was very patient and kind and she left even more excited to join than when we arrived. When we left, the receptionist gave us a flyer with the pricing and class options for my daughter's age - I thought it was a bit steep at first, but it includes 8 classes a month - 2 a week - 1 one on one session for 30 minutes and 1 group lesson for an hour and a half. Everyone there was so nice and you can tell the coaches/teachers love their job and what they can offer to these kids! The coaches offer everything from bass, guitar, drum, singing, and even keyboard/piano. They also offer summer camps, workshops and they even have the kids put on concerts! We will definitely be joining soon and I can't wait to see where School of Rock takes my daughter's confidence! Check them out!
