Love the Bandstand. I've been coming here for years, back when it was Cecil's Bandstand. I've got a…read morelot of memories coming here with my dad when I was little and watching him jam with local artist, including the occasional visit from the late Carl Perkins. Chuck helped me out with buying a guitar. I tried out quite a few and spent at least an hour in the shop. I ended up taking home a beautiful used Michael Kelly, Valor Special guitar. Since I now live out of state, Chuck packed it up and mailed it to me. By the time we got back home, it arrived a few days later just in time for me to play for a few days before heading back to work. Thanks

It's sort of tucked away, and the store itself is a bit small, but I have always been able to find…read morewhat I need here.

Horrible customer service and attitude. Called up here asked if I could have a guitar delivered to…read morethis store from Sweetwater which my friend has done at at a different location in FL. I planned on purchasing another 3k worth of equipment from them when I came to pick it up. When I asked the guy on the phone he responded "absolutely not we will turn it away or throw it away" with an attitude. Lost a life time big spending customer because you just wont accept a package. GC gets tons of packages everyday doesn't even make sense to be an issue. Another guitar store gladly did it and said "I'll do anything to help my customers" so he's getting my money and a lifetime of loyalty instead. Terrible business practice.

I honestly am blown away by our experience here today... all because of the guy who helped us,…read moreJosh. He was absolutely wonderful, beyond helpful, very kind and patient. Like he was genuinely just wonderful and it didn't feel like a transaction was taking place at all. You can really tell he is passionate about instruments, and extremely knowledgeable (not in a annoying way) on the products.. specifically, guitars. The store is pretty big and they carry pretty much everything with a wide range of choices and brands. Speakers, amps , keyboards, tons of string instruments, drum sets, bongos, Taylor, Gibson, the list is vast...huge selection but not too much to overwhelm you. It's also all arranged in a way, you can see it all and know where to go. Like they put some thought into it.. The staff were all very helpful and nice. Today was special, my daughter has been saving her $$ for a while now and decided to buy herself a Taylor guitar. Josh made this a breeze and once he led her into the acoustic room, she just followed her heart. I can't say enough good things about this experience. My sweet 14 year old couldn't of left here with any bigger of a smile. Josh changed out her strings, shined her Taylor up, hooked us up with a re-chargeable tuner, a strap and a case.. and he made my daughters day even better when he gave her a discount ! He also knew a lot of interesting things about the Taylor brand and was giving us some super cool info/history on Taylor guitars, and their founder.. how he is working to conserve different trees, wood, etc. for the material to continue to supply their company to continue to run smoothly for years and years to come. We are looking forward to our next trip back. Thank you Josh for making this day truly special for her and for letting me snap a pic of you & her purchase... She worked and saved hard for this and I thank you for making this even more so!

We began looking for a new piano to replace my near 70-year old one. Lane was the last place we…read morevisited and should have been the first. Lane has a sizeable collection of new & used pianos of all sizes, styles, and prices. Chuck Taylor knows his stuff. He encouraged me to play as many as I wanted without rushing us. He respected our budget and knowledgeably answered our questions. We felt very comfortable in working with him. Chuck went out of his way to have a tuner come in and work his magic on a new as-yet-untuned piano just so we could better judge the quality of the piano we ultimately purchased. Offered a great price, with a warranty, delivery/set up, full trade-in value, and removal of our old piano. He and piano mover Peyton were prompt and efficient in delivery. It was the kind of purchase that we felt good about, no doubts at all, and complete confidence in both Chuck and Lane Music. Glad we ended up there, as we ended our search with the best selection, value and service.

Lane Music has been amazing. My husband went there and asked about piano teachers and pianos…read more They are able to recommend instructors for all types of instruments. They have a large selection of instruments and accessories. They led my husband to the best piano for him. I have taken my son in for piano lessons. I always arrive early everywhere I go. My son played with different items in the store. The owners enjoy people trying things to see what they really like and what feels right to the customer. They really do encourage the love of music. They have all kinds of sevices. I always enjoy going in there because the staff is very helpful. I know I will enjoy taking my daughter for piano lessons before too long. The reasonable prices, friendly staff, and large selection of instruments and accessories is definitely what will keep my family returning.

I purchased a guitar on Reverb (a guitar based eBay like site), or at least I thought I had. Pop's…read moreMusic accepted an offer I made them, and within 24 hours, they sold the guitar to someone else. All I got was a "sorry" from them. Reverb, for their part, wasn't much better. They assured me this would be handled, but I have serious doubts. I'm a firefighter who works 24hr shifts. I couldn't get to a computer and complete my purchase, which Reverb says I had 72 hours to do, what with all the putting out fires and helping sick and hurt people. Pop's Music did not honor their word to me, and even worse, appeared not too concerned about it. I would caution anyone who thinks of doing business with them to do so twice. You've been warned, proceed at your own peril. Chris R.
