We have been taking our daughter's Clarinet to Marshall Music for 3 years and she's in the marching…read moreband. For the prior 2 years, they replaced all the pads at a cost of about 150. They told us that because she's in marching band the pads would need to be replaced every year. So, the 3rd year we decided to purchase insurance, which cost 125 dollars, up front for next year to cover the repairs needed. This year when we used our insurance that we paid for last year. All they did was re-align some minor parts and were able to return our instrument to us within a day. So, this feels like if you purchase the insurance ahead of time, they will do the minimum work on your instrument but if you have an open check book, they will sock it to you. Beware of Marshall Music. I won't ever go back, and I plan on telling everyone about my experience with their company

My son was crushed and cried his way to school this morning because he found out that he was…read moredismissed from the 'School of Rock Farmington' by the new owner Chris, for nothing that my son did. Chris, without any notice or discussion with us, decided to dismiss my son from the school this morning, because I responded to a SoR customer survey that he didn't like. My concern and issue was mainly with the new ownership who I believe has changed the 'School of Rock Farmington' from a music loving family culture to a money focused operation that takes advantage of the love we have for our kids. Shortly after Chris took over the Farmington location, my first conversation with him consisted with him telling me how poorly the school used to be run by the prior management and how he was going to make everything bigger and better. Soon after the ownership change, Eric, the former GM, along with many other staff members that we loved, were gone. While I really didn't like the changes that I was seeing, I eventually decided to ignore it because my son was so in love with drumming. And most recently, I had an "interaction" with Chris over paying cover for two young kids that we had in our group from this past Sunday's mid-season concert. When I asked him why our 6 yr old daughter and her 6 yr old cousin needed to pay for cover (because little kids didn't need to pay before), Chris immediately got defensive and angrily told me that since he became the owner at Farmington everyone needed to pay no matter how young. Then he went onto tell me how expensive it was for him to run the shows and called me "petty" for even bringing this up. My son really loved the school and all of his teachers and friends he made so far at SoR Farmington. He really fell in love with drumming and really fell in love with music, which I credit the prior SoR management, and all former and current teachers and staff members for. My son and my family loved the program and would like to thank everyone at 'School of Rock Farmington' that looked after him. He's currently heart broken, but I'm hopeful that he will find a better school that looks out more for the kids than their own ego and bottom line. P.S. My brother-in-law emailed Chris this morning (without me knowing) because our whole family is heartbroken right now. Chris responded back saying that he will have my son back in his school as long as I changed my review score to an 8. I have no intentions of making any compromises and don't need to have my son back at his money/review hungry institution. I hope Chris well too and wish him luck as he tries to make a ton of money off the kids that just wants to love music.

If you're wondering if you should buy a guitar from Detroit Guitar, don't hesitate. Very…read morecompetitive pricing, and a great understanding of musicians needs, and really good follow-up. I've been buying guitars for 40 years and I've spent quite a bit of money on high-end guitars. My first experience with Detroit Guitar was this past July and I have never had a company jump through so many hoops to please me. Charlie Lorenzi is probably one of the best salesmen I have ever met. He listened to my needs, made a few suggestions, and helped me get what I've been saving up for. ​ Upon getting the guitar, something was amiss and I contacted Charlie. I was impressed with the extent he went to to correct the issue. He actually contacted the manufacturer of the guitar I purchased and worked it out so that the guitar pickups were replaced to my needs. It's rare that you find a company that understands a guitar player's needs and wants to help you be happy as a professional musician. I had no doubt that he would stand by me until I was happy. ​ Like I said, don't hesitate to buy a guitar from Detroit Guitars. They're a good company, old-fashioned customer service. Just a great, fun company to buy a guitar from.
