What a great store…read more I take guitar lessons here and have a really awesome teacher and have heard the teachers for other instruments are equally impressive. There seems to be a healthy mix of kids and adults (like me) taking lessons which makes feel good about not being the only old guy there. I bought my electric guitar here as well and found the selection impressive and the prices very competitive. The sales staff is really outstanding: knowledgable, courteous, and not pushy. Definitely worth a visit.

Ever since Ken Stanton was acquired by Private Equity-owned Music & Arts, customer service has…read moreplummeted. I recently needed to change my billing information as I got a new debit card. However, if you need to make a change to your billing information associated with lessons or music rentals, it cannot be done online, only over the phone. When you call, expect at least a 30-minute wait for "customer service". I finally called the store, and they were able to correct my billing information for lessons but not the rental. Then I had to spend another 30 minutes trying to get the instrument rental billing fixed. I finally just paid off the instrument balance so I wouldn't have to deal with them again. Finally, the way lessons are handled is a complete scam. Prior to the acquisition, if you needed to cancel a lesson in advance, you were not charged. Now you are charged regardless of when you cancel. You can "make up" the lessons, but this is nearly impossible during the summer when multiple weeks of lessons are being missed. The teacher doesn't have the flexibility to do that many make-ups. In short, it is a total scam. We will be looking for a new lesson location.

I had not been to Dirt Cheep Music in over 30 years (no kidding!) and I had been keeping my eyes open for a small, solid state guitar amp that I could leave at a remote location for playing in case I got bored there. Lo and behold, I happened to be on S. Cobb so I whipped it in to DCM to see if they had something for me. Bingo! Steve put me on an 80's model Peavey Bandit, made in USA, and perfect for what I need for under $90. Exactly what I needed and it was indeed Dirt Cheep. THANKS STEVE!!!!

Zach did a great job helping me get setup with a bass guitar and amp. The store is clean and laid out well and it's a much better vibe than a Guitar Center.

From the outside this looks like a very small building, but inside is packed with everything from basic, inexpensive to high end guitars, keyboards, etc. It is clear why ADM has been around for so long.

I wanted to pick up a new harmonica and saw this store while shopping. I immediately had to look. I did get a new harmonica and a lot of information along the way. The selection really was incredible. The owner has everything. They sell new and refurbished equipment (guitars, drums, bass, banjos, harmonicas, sheet music, speakers, pics, stands, wah-wahs, keyboards, etc), accessories, music memorabilia, and they offer lessons in the back. I got to chatting with the owner (an amazing and interesting guy) and he showed me and my wife the back room of the store, more like his personal man cave/lounge/hangout. It was decked out with music and wrestling memorabilia. I came to find out he's also a wrestling fan (yippee) and he chatted awhile. The place is great, prices are good, selection is amazing, and the experience was worth the cost of the harmonica. Since I have family in the area, we will be back soon and I'll definitely drop in again. This place is a bonafide treasure.
