I had a great experience here and will definitely be back again.

I have a boutique amp that is my precious baby. I took it to Jerry to have it serviced over the…read moreholidays. He quoted me about two weeks for inspection and about two weeks for repair. Like I said, this amp is my baby. So I called right at two weeks and Jerry politely told me that it wasn't ready yet. I then called at three week. Again he told me it wasn't ready yet. I could tell he was trying his best to take care of a needy customer (me). Before the end of the third week Jerry called and gave me a run down of what all was repaired on my amp. I stopped by and picked her up. The staff was polite and was ready to help. The price was more than I had expected, but they explained everything to ensure I was happy. Great place and great guys! Go buy a guitar today.

As…read moreI'm new to the state/area, I had no idea this place existed, we went into the little mall where it's located, and noticed this little gold mine, and was beyond surprised. Outside the store(inside the mall), is a fully equipped stage, gig ready, because they jam there all the time apparently, and encourage anyone to stop by and jam, which I hope to do soon. The shop was closing for the day, but the manager(I believe), insisted that we come in and check it out, so we did. This guy was the coolest, nicest guy you'd ever meet, showed us around, extremely knowledgeable, and not pushy. If there are any musicians passing near Duncan, I would highly recommend stopping at this place, it is literally my new favorite music store, ranks up there with the best, and i'll travel 30 miles to come here. For it's size, I'd be surprised if any level guitarist couldn't find any equipment they've been looking for. ~ two thumbs up

Can't say enough good things about my experience so far with RDMA…read more There aren't a lot of private music schools around the OKC metro even offering lessons on double bass, but RDMA set me up with a fantastic instructor! Melina Blanco is a great teacher. As a (much) older adult, I can fully appreciate her promptness, courtesy, patience and above all, her comprehensive knowledge of upright bass. She has taught me so much in so short a time, I'm amazed. I came in with just a cursory knowledge of upright bass. Now I'm getting good tone, more consistent bowing, better intonation, less fatigue, and more joy playing than I ever could have on my own. If you are considering learning a musical instrument I recommend having a teacher. RDMA would be worthy of your first consideration. They have a friendly staff and an ever improving studio. Get to know them. You won't be disappointed!

As far as price goes, it's a music shop right off the Main Street so you can expect too pay a good price but not an arm and a leg unless you wanna go big. Overall not a bad place.

I randomly decided to come in after looking for a place that would sell button straps for my new acoustic, and wow, I'm disappointed I didn't give this place my business years before. Due to the increase of online popularity and decrease of foot traffic and sales, OKC Music and Sound will be closing soon. This means they have huge sales throughout the store, but much of the inventory has already been cleaned out (darn you people who cleaned out the phosphor-bronze stock). That being said, the owner Robin, was still incredibly kind, helpful, and goofy. The cheapest price I could find for someone in the OKC area to drill/install a button strap into my acoustic was about $40. I am so thankful I decided to search around a little bit more on Google because Robin saved me a ton of money. I got guitar strings, a button strap install, humidity packs, and a peg winder for $13. THIRTEEN DOLLARS. I felt guilty, but that's how liquidation sales work I guess. Robin did mention that he plans on opening a smaller shop doing more luthier type of work, and when that happens, I will certainly be going to him.

Short REVIEW I…read moreaccidentally took lessons from 3 different instructors at Guitar Center (GC), which is the educational equivalent of testing the same restaurant by ordering three different entrées. Surprisingly, they were all good. Even more surprising, I discovered that the GC Lessons department is more interested in helping someone become a musician than reminding everyone they are already one. Apparently, those places still exist. EPIC REVIEW: I've now taken lessons with three different instructors at Guitar Center (GC) in Oklahoma City (OKC). The changes in instructors were simply due to scheduling conflicts on my end. And although I haven't studied with every instructor there, I have, as I said, spent time with THREE different teachers! Therefore, I find myself inadvertently well qualified to observe and comment on the music department as a whole. To start with, the music department is all men. Stay with me... Ordinarily, I would have to brace myself for an unnecessary display of peacocking. In fact, history has shown that whenever enough men gather in one place, a spirited competition to determine who possesses the greatest expertise has an uncanny habit of appearing, usually accompanied by the occasional performance of confidence disguised as wisdom. Keep staying with me... I do have a point.... I also think it's fair to say that male-dominated workplaces can sometimes become boys' clubs. On more than one occasion, I've found those same places resemble mean girls' clubs--only with deeper voices. But not GC!!!!!! These young men are refreshingly uninterested in proving who is the cleverest person in the room. The atmosphere is one of encouragement rather than one of comparison. I also found something increasingly uncommon among the instructors at GC......gentlemen. Not the Victorian kind who faint if they see an ankle. I mean the rare modern kind who are patient, kind, respectful, and somehow manage to teach without making you feel like you've just failed at being a human. GC's instructors don't just understand music. They understand that brains don't all arrive from the factory with the same operating manual. One thing I think you should know is that I process slow. When I mean slow I mean like a sloth who took an edible slow. Some lessons require a second explanation. Others a third. Sometimes we go over it so much that I fear my instructors might feel I've trapped them in a time loop. Like it's Groundhog Day all over again. A lesser teacher might mistake my slow processing for inability. Mine never have. If one explanation doesn't work, they simply try another. They don't rush me. They don't judge me. They simply keep teaching until something clicks. Which sounds obvious. It isn't. GC has quality musicians who absolutely can teach. I only say that because a lot of musicians can play, but that doesn't mean they can teach, or they can teach, but that doesn't mean they can reach. These instructors are gifted with all three. Now to make a long review even longer, I want to leave you with one final observation. The older I get, the more convinced I become that culture is often a reflection of leadership. Jason, the GC Lessons manager, seems to have created an environment where kindness and professionalism aren't special occasions, they're just Tuesdays. An accident? I think not. A rarity, absolutely. I also want to mention that there is a Guitar Center much closer to where I live. I don't go there. Instead, I willingly drive over the hills and through the woods to get to my teachers because I know that when I arrive I'll learn something, laugh at least once, and leave a little better than when I walked in. Oh, let me not forget to tell you that there are also quarterly recitals! It's one thing to practice in a room by yourself. It's another to stand up, play in front of people, and discover that courage is apparently a learnable skill. The best part is that they are included in your monthly fee. In closing, I simply want to say that I feel honored to have learned--and to continue learning--from these instructors. I'm not entirely sure what I did to deserve this quality of instruction or the quality of human beings, but I'm most certainly grateful. More importantly, I hope everyone looking for a place to learn music finds teachers who make them feel the way my instructors have made me feel. So thank you to my three instructors--Joe, Tim, and Keegan--and, last but certainly not least, to Jason, whose leadership seems to echo throughout the entire department.
