Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

On the main floor are the instruments, & upstairs you will find sheet music & an area for taking music lessons. Jon Milano, the grandson of the man who started this business, introduced himself to me & told me the history of this store. Very fascinating & if you walk through the back hallway of the store, you will see many photos of the various artists & celebrities who have visited this amazing music store! I'm a drummer so I will definitely return when I need something. I invite you to check this place out & say hello to my new friend Jon. Once you visit Milano's, you become part of the family!

As the mother of a musician, I've learned far more about instruments and accessories than I ever…read moreknew before. I still may not be able to identify everything, but I'm getting better. While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

If you're looking for violins to rent or buy you can find it here. So many sizes from 1/32 (so…read morecute) to full size violins. They also rent and sell cellos, basses and violas. If you rent a violin it comes with rosin, shoulder rest and a shoulder strap to carry the violin case. If you know you want to have an instrument for years then buying it is the best option but if you're not sure then renting is the way to go, as well as rent to own. Their lobby area has a couch and a couple chairs. It can feel a bit cozy when there are many people. It seems like a popular place towards closing time on Saturday. Staff were friendly.

We…read moreare here to share our passion, provide the tools for music excellence and to build confidence in all of our students. No, we don't expect them all to become performance majors or concert artists. We do, however, expect them to see the world through a musical perspective. We expect them to put their confidence and faith into music. We expect them to fall in love with music over and over again, putting their stresses into song and working through it. We expect them to practice because they love their instrument, not because we assigned it to them. Lastly, we expect them to grow in all aspects of life: communication, decision-making, work ethic, relationship building and educational desire. Sure, that's a lot to expect, but that is what a musical education should be. That is what Melody and Keys strives to provide.

I always feel like they give a really fair amount in trade credit, and somehow we always find new treasures to bring home. I especially love the board game section. It's packed with great options, though I do wish it was organized a bit more because there's so much to dig through. The kids area is wonderful too. On our last visit my daughter spent a ton of time browsing the young adult aisles and discovering new books. I only wish there was a location a little closer to us because we'd probably go even more often. Also throwing this out there... if they ever started a kids or teen book club, we would be all over that!

Have been renting my daughter's viola from this store for the past 5 years. But today we finally…read morebought her a beautiful brand new viola that she can call her very own! And we paid 1 CENT! Not really lol but we had to be rung up in order to process the transaction and use the accumulated store credit balance to purchase the $1,000 instrument. We had an $1100 credit from renting all these years, and it finally paid off. I love that the money you are spending every month to rent can go toward purchasing an instrument one day. This was perfect because she outgrew several violas throughout the years and plus you never know if your kid is going to stick with playing the instrument. Now that she is pretty much full grown and had already committed to playing orchestra her last two years of high school, it was an awesome feeling to BUY her viola that she can love and cherish. Great customer service and we have never had any billing issues through the years. Great music store for students and young musicians. They also offer music and voice lessons. Definitely recommend!

One of them is no longer playing an instrument. The customer service is good. Sometimes they are slow if they're busy. And that's because they are giving each customer their 100% attention. I like that. They are hassle-free when it come to returns and repairs to. Since we rent, the labor for repairs is free. They will also tune your intrument for free. This is key. When one of my daughter's strings broke off her violin, all I had to do was pay the $1.50 for the string! They replaced it and tuned right on the spot. I bought my husband a keyboard from here a few years ago for Christmas. It was on sale too! Awesome deal! He was very happy with the gift. And I was happy with the price! Great place to go for instruments AND intructions too! Yelp! They offer music lessons and camps in the summer time.
