I contacted them for help identifying a saxophone I bought from them 25 years ago. With a few pictures they were able to tell me everything I needed to know about the saxophone without even seeing it in person. Big thanks to David for being so helpful. Same quality service 25 years later. Ain't nothing like a family business read more

Specialties

Rentals, Sales & Service of musical instruments & accessories An "Old-Fashioned" music store in a NEW era! Family owned & operated since 1940! South Louisiana's Original music store! Come by and check us out today!

History

Established in 1939.

Founded by Lawrence "Prof" Erny Jr., a professional clarinetist & teacher in 1939 in downtown Lafayette. The flagship store was relocated and became the first retail business in the original "Oil Center" in the heart of Lafayette in the late 1950's. Prof's eldest son, Lawrence "Larry" Erny III, took over the reigns in the late 1970's and still runs the operations today with his wife Glory, their son David and their daughter Mary. We are a different style of music store, we are eclectic, unique, well-stocked, occasionally ornery, opinionated, a wheeling and dealing haggling family owned & operated music store... if you are looking for your cookie cutter "no personality" music store, we are not it. Over 75 years serving south Louisiana's musicians and potential musicians... Then, Now & the Future

Meet the Business Owner: Larry E.

Owner and store manager for over 40 years. The founders eldest son, with more experience testing & evaluating young musicians than anyone in the area.

Lafayette Music

I won't take another instrument there. I had a warranty repair on a brand new 3 day old Gibson I…read morebought from Sweetwater. It was feeding back horribly. I've been building guitars for around 8 years now, so I know my business. My first impression when I dropped it off, was they weren't happy it was a warranty repair, although they are a Gibson Authorized Dealer and Warranty Center. I explained the problem and asked for the tech to call me, a week went by with nothing. When I asked on progress they didn't have a clue they even had it and this is not a big box store. A week later I called again, "oh, it's ready". When I went to pick it up it wasn't fixed, their story was absurd about it's the nature of the pickups (it's not) and they ended it with, it must be a B stock. It isn't. My thoughts are, they just wouldn't honor the warranty and waited for me to come pick it up. I would never entrust Lafayette Music with any of my gear. The attached picture is why I know they never looked at. That would have been their first clue.

One Star - Predatory Business Practices…read more We rented a saxophone from Lafayette Music Company last summer. The return deadline was June 1st (which fell on a Sunday). We tried to return it five days later and were told, "Too late - it's yours now." No warning, no reminder, and no option to pay a late fee. Just a hardline stance: either pay Tower Loan $1,200 or continue monthly payments at 28% interest. They didn't send any return reminders, and they don't give you an electronic copy of the contract. It feels like they're hoping you miss the deadline so they can lock you into a high-interest loan. We tried to negotiate in good faith and were told flat-out, "It's your problem now." Absolutely unacceptable. I won't do business with them again and will be warning others to steer clear.

It was such a pleasure learning about their shops history and family. This place really seems to be a staple in the community. I have never been to a better second hand shop. Because it's consignment everything is thoughtfully curated and priced. They offer a variety of brand names and designers. I have been wanting to redo my closet for a while with more of a capsule nature and this was the most perfect and affordable place to do so. The rack you see in my picture below was everything I had shopped before I tried things on. I left with about 3/4 of this rack. Thank you so much Rene and Lisa I will be seeing you guys the next time I'm in town. Can't wait!!!

Employees were friendly and helpful but also allowed plenty of time and space to browse.
