Groovy Records is a great little record store located in the downtown Deland area. Not only do they…read morehave a ton of Vinyl for sale but they also have a decent variety of CD's, Tape cassettes, and even some 8 tracks. Groovy Records also sells new and used turntables, guitars, basses, ukuleles, amp's, music accessories such as guitar strings, banners, other memorabilia, and a variety of instructional music books for piano, guitar, and other instruments. I found a few used CDs in decent condition (with original inserts) for $1 each, which is a great deal. I'm not a Vinyl collector, mainly because I just don't have the room to store them. One thing I noticed while I was here is that two of my all-time favorite bands, Mercyful Fate and Iron Maiden Vinyls were a bit pricy. I'm not sure if it's because they are from the original production during that era or if they are just hard to come by. Mercyful Fate's Don't Break the Oath is selling for $175 and Melissa is selling for $150. Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast is selling for $100. Damn, I'm a big fan, but I couldn't justify spending that much money on a Vinyl. Alternatively, not everything here is that expensive. They are selling many other great Vinyl's in the $10-$20 price range. If you are shopping in the area, I definitely recommend stopping in to see if you can find a deal.

We stopped into R & R after a nice lunch at Pickles to see what they have to offer. This is a great…read morelittle store. They don't offer everything you would see at a Guitar Center or Sam Ash but what they do offer is an exceptional selection of guitars, Basses, ukuleles, mandolins, tube and solid-state amps, effects pedals, instrument accessories and more. They carry mostly Fender, Squire, Taylor, Martin, PRS, and Reverend guitars. They literally have one wall filled with Taylor and Martin guitars, another one filled with PRS, and a third all Fender, its pretty awesome. If you are a die hard for any of these brands, I highly recommend stopping in to check them out. I always wanted a Fender Telecaster but after seeing the Reverend Eastsider they had, I am willing to reconsider, that thing was sick! Staff were super friendly and welcoming. I struck up a conversation with Grayson, one of the store associates and he informed me they also give lessons on a variety of instruments. Pricing is $30 for a half hour and $60 for an hour lesson, which is pretty much the going rate. I could hear one of the piano teachers playing Bohemian Rhapsody in the background and she was great. The store is well kept, clean, and orderly. Although the store has been here for a while now, everything looks like it is in like new condition. All of the guitars are kept clean from dust and staff maintains everything very well., Good job! I really wanted to support the store even though I didn't need anything, so I bought a pack of strings and a PRS keychain pick holder, and now that I have been using it daily, I cannot live without it. Thank you for the recommendation, Grayson. If you happen to be in the area and love music shops and want to support local, I highly recommend checking out R & R Guitars.

I'm not proficient as it's just a hobby, but I've always liked Ovation guitars and saw a used electric-acoustic one for sale. We went to the front desk and didn't wait even 30 seconds before one of the clerks greeted us with a warm smile. He then answered a few questions and let me check out the guitar without any pressure. No updates, no silly offers for professional guitar care kits, straps, etc. He surprised me when he told me that the guitar came with a case! Albeit an older, beat-up one, but I was ecstatic about it, regardless. Anyway, the transaction went smoothly. We had an enjoyable discussion about music and guitars; the staff were very welcoming and professional - not just to us, but everyone. It was an enjoyable shopping experience and I'd totally make the drive to purchase from again.

Other than that, inside the shop was filled wall-to-wall with guitars, basses, ukuleles, and plenty of accessories.

I called to make my appointment, which I originally thought I'd have to do on the weekend since all other string stores are closed by the time I'm off work, and Molly was happy to give me some time on a Thursday night. I think I was there till a little after 8 and at no point did I feel rushed. When I arrived she had a select few violins ready for me to try for my level. In our initial phone call I hadn't given too much information about my skill but her selections for me were 100% what I needed. From reviews at other shops I thought I was going to be pressured into buying something expensive that I didn't need. That was absolutely not the case here. The selections she showed me were all in my price range and she answered any questions I had to make sure I chose the perfect instrument. I'll definitely be coming back.
