Didn't know this place existed!…read more Stopped in on a lark and bought three LPs right off the bat. This place is a dream. It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!

I've mostly played…read morehand-me-downs over the years, and while they served their purpose, this was the first time I really understood what it means to choose an instrument for myself. I recently purchased a Taylor, and the whole experience meant more to me than I expected. I was able to spend time in the store without feeling rushed, really sit with a few options, and figure out what felt right. Elliot was upfront, honest, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. No pressure, no gimmicks just straightforward guidance and a genuine willingness to help me find the right fit. I really appreciated that. Thank you guys for making this a great experience.

I'm so excited to continue playing and they are now my go to guys

My son came home from his first day of fifth grade this year with a huuuuuge smile on his face…read more What followed out of his mouth were the words my wife and I, as HIGHLY non-musically-talented folks, have been worried we'd hear for years: "I want to join strings this year!" What instrument? What size of that instrument? Do instruments even come in different sizes...?!? How much does that cost? Do you rent or buy? If it doesn't work out, do we give it back? All of these questions and more were answered when we walked into REW a couple nights later! Oh, boy, and we weren't alone! I think just about every music-inspired kiddo from a tri-state area was there getting fitted and equipped with their instruments. But, the folks at REW were ready! They were amply staffed, and the team (yes, "TEAM") of folks who answered all our questions, got us the VIOLA of my fifth-grader's dreams, and checked out with a lovely payment plan setup that night were all absolutely fantastic! I had ZERO idea or expectation of how and where to start on this journey; upon walking into REW, all of that washed away, and we're now a few weeks into our first year of strings, and my fifth grader couldn't be happier!

My dad was too embarrassed to take it back so I offer to do it for him. I go in a couple days after a holiday. The stores return policies 30 days because of the holiday they were closed for 3 of those 30 days. I came in on day 31 they refused to refund, even though everything was intact. I had my receipt, nothing had been used. I could hear the clerk on the phone with the manager made it sound like they had ordered this thing by mistake unloaded it on my poor unsuspecting, father and then weren't willing to get stuck with it again. Entire experience was very disappointing.

With no shortage of services, KC Strings is also the only American maker of professional grade violas, violins, cellos and bases. It's really a one stop string shop. Say that three times. They'll sell, repair, rent and even give you private lessons. The staff knows their strings. I quickly overheard one of the assistants is a student at Julliard. Everyone in the shop is eager to assist or simply enjoying their job by playing the instruments. They also emphasize their ability to work out financing options. Thankfully I had a sidekick who knew the difference between a viola and violin and that brought about some great conversations with the staff. I grabbed a brochure as we headed out and it says "Together We Create." I couldn't agree more.

I'm still an early beginner on bass, but I've been playing acoustic guitar for about 10 years so cut me a little slack The store has a great selection of instruments, which I really appreciated. However, the help I received was a bit inconsistent. At times, it felt like some employees weren't very interested in assisting me, possibly because I'm newer to electric gear. I was hoping for more guidance on what I actually needed, rather than just being pointed toward what was available to sell. That said, Kurt really stood out. He was super helpful, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable plugging in and trying things out even if I didn't sound great That kind of experience goes a long way. I did end up buying a bass and amp from the Kansas City location, and honestly, I don't think I would've made the purchase without Kurt's help. Appreciate it, man.

There were two employees behind the counter in the back room where the microphones are. One was messing with a synthesizer and the other was watching him. At no point did either look in my direction or ask if they could help. The microphone I wanted to look at had a spot in the display case but the mic was gone. Probably not in stock. So I walked out. The employee previously messing with the synthesizer was now behind the counter up front doing something on a computer or register, but there was no customer opposite him. I'll order the mic from another merchant online.

Kyle was terrific with the kids and would always stop to talk music with me when he could. Jeremy is extremely helpful with anything you need and would answer all my questions about drum tech, even helping us find a good deal on an electric kit for our son to practice on at home. Hopefully one day, we will be able to start lessons here again.
