Not only did they have a number of nice student oboes (wood ones, not plastic), the store was clean, bright and well organized. A bit out of the way, but worth the trip. EDIT May '08: These folks are not so great to work with. When an instrument needs repair they will keep it for more than two weeks and not offer a replacement, then they have the chutzpah to charge the full month's rental fee.

We were giving a room to play in for 2 hours. NO pressure. The sale person Paul came and went. Answered ever question, he did not stand in the room. Our daughter was able to play to us and not feel odd or judged. That is huge. They had our price range out and ready to play, plus they said try our this one at 40,000 dollars to se the top end. We had a experience that we end up with a cello, bow and case for a very reasonable price. Ken is passionate about this and it shows in him and his interest. That is a find to be a business man selling his talents in instruments. A women was there with a viola bow broken in two spots. It was fixable but he said it was to costly to based on the bow its self being a few hundred dollars new. He gave her a loaner and booked a time for her to come back to buy a new one. It is a very gentle-mans hand shake demeanor of trust. We will be back and spread the word!!

If you are looking for a Taylor or Martin guitar, you will not need to shop anywhere else! The…read moreprices are comparable to other shops, and the guitar selection is optimal! What stands out is the customer service. You will not find better assistance than what the Tobias gentlemen will give you here! You are never pressured to buy anything. It's quite the opposite, they help you find out which guitar is a fit for you! I stopped here to help a friend choose a guitar, and I ended up going home with a Tobias exclusive Taylor American Dream! There is a nice selection of Martin's here as well, but the Taylor room feels like you are in Valhalla! If you like Taylor guitars, you will not be able to resist trying out a guitar in this room! If you are just shopping and are new to guitars, stop in. Mr Tobias will be more than happy to answer anything you throw at him! The assistant, Taylor, is very friendly and can help as well! I highly recommend stopping in on your guitar journey!

I went in with my friend and his kid to check out microphones around 5:20 pm on August 14th. I'm wearing a green shirt and glasses. Please pull your footage. We started at the keyboards then made our way to the microphones. When we were looking for about 5 mins reviewing options. This blonde-haired Guitar Center "Employee" came to the iMac station area turned on a backup battery and immediately it started beeping. He was asked by my friend if there was anywhere else we could look at microphones and he gave a disgusting answer. Then if you pull up the footage from your side, you'll see the child visibly grab his head because of the loud sound. The dude went to the front desk and never returned. I can say so many DISGUSTING things about why this happened and why he would behave like that and not respond to a sensory issue occurring with a child. When confronting staff they did not give a rat's hairy asssssss. I DON'T CARE. Look at this
