    what ever happened to neighborhood guitar shops?…read more nothing really, they're still there. you just started going to mars and chuck levin's superstores as soon as you were old enough to drive. wandering the aisles of shiny guitars with glossy five-figure price tags and salesmen working for commission slowly degraded your music store experience to only a fragment of a step above buying new socks at walmart. but that neighborhood guitar shop is still there, even though you stopped going. and that crusty old dude who convinced you to drop your lawn-mowing money on a beat up fender, told you the secret about how it will always sound better than that shiny factory-fresh one at the superstore, and gave you your first few lessons, pretenting to believe you when you said you practiced your arpeggios; well, he's still there too. chances are you're not going to find exactly what you came in looking for, but shops like this are the only place you'll get what you really need, even some kid looking at what you asked for and says "ugh, you don't want one of those, here, try this, it's cheaper and i like it better..."

    I just purchased a guitar from Jerry's Music and I'm in California. Jerry really knows his stuff…read more He has a music degree in guitar. He really knows all types of guitars. His prices are much more competitive than the Big Box music stores and the service is much better. Honestly, I'm going to refer my West Coast friends to Jerry's.

    Have to support these small music shops. Victor Litz has a lot to offer from types of instruments,…read moreelectronics, lessons, used gear, you name it. I was especially impressed with their selection of ukuleles. Never have I seen so many in MD in one place! Definitely more than what Guitar center offers. They have an acoustic room in the back to try their acoustic/classical guitars. I had the chance to buy one of their used guitars at an amazing price. I appreciate the staff working with me on the price and even holding the instrument for a day when they could have easily sold it to next customer. Shows that they care about customer satisfaction more than just making a sale. I was able to spend a good amount of time trying out the instrument and they also helped tweak the intonation before I decided to take it home with me. The only few downsides I could see was some of the staff were not particularly knowledgeable about certain guitar models that they were selling, but much better than say Guitar Center. The humidification in the acoustic room basically only controlled by a residential type humidifier, so not very precise. Compared to other small guitar shops in the DMV, I don't think I would feel comfortable getting my guitar worked on here just based on the level of expertise I surmounted from the conversations I had. But a good place to buy gear nonetheless if you know what you are looking for. Parking is just a little challenging since it is in the middle of old town Gaithersburg. But in the past I have come on the weekends and there is some parking across the street at the museum.

    Amazing store and staff - it's been around forever - nice guy Charlie always helps me w/ my vinyl…read morerecord selections

I hadn't taken lessons or been singing regularly for over ten years but Grace helped me tremendously. I took weekly lessons and now I sing with the National Philharmonic Chorale. Grace is an excellent instructor who helps vocalists strengthen and hone their voices AND she is extremely professional and personable. She has a holistic approach to teaching, which includes focusing on the physical aspect of singing (proper body alignment, breath, various muscle constructs/support, etc.), all of which positively impacts a student's ability to create sound. I have really benefited from her teaching approach by embracing and practicing her techniques and it has made all the difference. I highly recommend Grace and Gori Voice Studios.

    This company sells guitar and amplifier parts through a website and piggybacks on several other…read moresites such as Amazon, Reverb.Com and eBay. By all accounts, they generally have a good selection of specialty parts that folks looking to restore, build or repair guitars may need. Thankfully there's many more outlets offering the same or better selection and actual customer service. There's no true contact number to have a discussion with anyone at Angela's Instruments because there's nothing you have to say that can possibly matter. You see, when you buy something from them, it's yours - you're stuck with it no matter what. Recently purchased an item for $45 and realized it had been ordered by mistake. Once realized, emailed the company (since the item was en route) and explained I'd like to return and have a refund issued once they get back their product. I explained that I understood the refund would be less their initial shipping costs and of course, I'd cover the costs to return ship. No harm no loss it seems unless their business is so volatile they refuse any returns which they do. Let's be clear, we're not talking about sending back a half-eaten steak, returning a dead tropical fish, a gallon of milk that soured . . . no we're talking about a plastic part which when added to the box, weighed no more that one pound. The part was not a custom manufactured item, in fact it is one of the most common parts imaginable. When the part and it's box would have arrived, I would have simply had a new return postage label applied and shipped right back. A simple enough procedure and part of doing business for 99.999% of reputable companies out there. Unfortunately, they're a "small family business" and may be so small this single sale caused undue hardship and stress, highly unlikely. Perhaps someone in the family can step up and re-evaluate how their customer service is NOT handled and improve the image that's perceived by the public...that image is awful to say the least. It's as if they're going to shut the doors and turn out the lights because an item may be returned. My heart goes out for them really, perhaps a Go-Fund Me page should be started and gather donations. Shop and buy where you will but I would never spend a dime with these folks again.

    Do not buy. They will not return even when it's their mistake, and they are rude about it. Won't…read moreeven do an exchange for the right piece even when offering to pay shipping. Anyone who won't do a return who's an online seller should be avoided. Avoid avoid avoid.
