I've been in the market for a good but well priced acoustic guitar for awhile now. This place has a…read moregreat selection of quality Canadian made guitars at really great prices, as well as the usual Yamaha, Ibanez, etc. The owner (Al) was on the phone when I came in, but he acknowledged me and let me know he would be right with me. As soon as he was done, he came and showed me some guitars, let me try them out, gave me some advice, and then gave me some space to think about it. He was the perfect amount of helpful without pressuring me. They also have electric guitars, keyboards, and all sorts of recording equipment. I have had such mediocre experiences with the chain music stores lately, I'm glad this local business is still around. I did some quick googling, and the prices are very competitive with the bigger stores too. All in all, a very positive and informative visit. I think I've found the guitar I want! I highly recommend checking them out.

The owners, Ang & Al, also own Mr. Entertainment in West Ed and Londonderry Mall! The mall locations are great but their Rock Shop is phenomenal! They have an amazing selection of musical instruments and really care about their customers! You can find Al behind the counter or chatting it up with customers on the floor! So glad they opened this location!

About 6 months ago I had Doc refret my 2004 Strat Deluxe with stainless steel frets and his work and care was immaculate. Any guitar player knows getting new frets is akin to heart surgery and rather than risk a botch job I used to drive my guitar down to a tech in Calgary who I trusted. Doc has replaced that tech for me. The other day I had him install a new tusque nut and replace the SI pot on my Strat. I needed it for the weekend and he did all the work that day - wonderful! Staff at the store is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

My problem with the place is with the music school. I signed up for five private lessons. On the 4th, I had to call in sick 5 hours prior. End of the month I found out that it was a missed appointment and I would not receive any more until I paid up for another month. I didn't like this. If you're sick then you'd still better go or you'll lose $60. After some back and forth, they did finally offer the lesson but by then I was not interested and did forfeit the lesson. Don't pay 1 month in advance. Besides that, you may not like the instructor.

Climbing the stairs to Axe Music's second floor where they keep the guitars is like ascending a…read moresecret magical path to Narnia, only there's no talking animals or mythical beasts lurking about. (At least I didn't see any.) Guitars of all (most?) makes and models hang from the walls enticing, inviting, and teasing you to fondle, caress, and pluck them and take them home. It's like spending time in your cool uncle's attic. There's a separate room for acoustic guitars and another one which stores amplifiers. I was there for a clinic (musicians don't like to say "lesson" so they call it a clinic) where a professional musician stops by to give tips, tricks, and advice. Admission was $10 but tickets were good for $10 off a purchase of $25 or more that night. After the clinic I moved upward to Narnia to scope out a guitar I had my eye on. Axe's website had it listed on sale for $419 (marked down from $479). Imagine my surprise when I saw that the store had it on clearance for $324! Moral of the story?: Clearance prices apparently aren't posted online; you'll have to kick it old-school and actually haul ass into the store to see if there's a deal to be had. (Or maybe just call them.) I asked the sales guy, Coltan, if I would still get the $10 off since the guitar was on clearance. He seemed a little confused. I explained the promotion. He said no one told him about a discount for participants of the clinic. Ya gotta love it when management doesn't pass info on to their employees. This is where the talking animals could have been useful; they could relay information between management and staff. He told me that clearance items generally aren't subject to discounts anyway but he threw in a free patch cable. These generally cost around $10 anyway, so it's all good. He boxed the guitar up for me and I was on my way. Downstairs has rooms devoted to drums and keyboards as well neither of which I play so I didn't go into those. Axe Music doesn't just sell musical instruments. They have a crazy selection of DJ gear too. There is a whole room downstairs filled with mixers, turntables, road cases, etc. They also offer regular music lessons for guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums for $13 per half hour.

Staff is friendly and easily helped us find the right strings for my friend's convenience. This place is like the gold mine for many stringed instruments. They carry lesson books, and possibly repairs or tuning if needed. Teaching you may need to call and ask. There is plenty of supplies and tools for whatever purpose you may need for guitars and such. What intrigued me most was the unique designs of guitars they carry. See photos. Parking is found at the side of the building, small parking lot. I will recommend this place to friends and if your a musician string player looking for replacements or tune ups this place is a good choice.

If there is something special you need they usually can order it in. Being a piano teacher I appreciate the teacher discount they provide. They also reimburse your parking if you spend more than $20 in the store. Gordon Price Music also provides workshops from notable presenters on music book lines, music theory and other topics of interest. If you're a member or a teacher and are on their mailing list you'll be made aware of when these take place. Not only does Gordon Price sell music, but also great teaching aids and musical novelty items, which is great for anyone musical in your life. Their staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about music - go figure - and are always there to lend a hand. I've called ahead and asked for books to be held for me which they've done without hesitation. That alone makes me return on a regular basis for my teaching materials.
