As a parent, I find it helpful that communication is convenient. They are quick to respond whether through text, email or phone and if you can't attend your regularly scheduled lesson, you can reschedule with the instructor. The price per lesson/month is reasonable as well and if you need to take a break, a 30-day notice is required. I have seen my son's interest in musical instruments increase and I appreciate that Rachel is contributing to his music education.

I reached out via email regarding a violin rental and received a prompt reply. The pricing here is…read morevery affordable (at the time I'm writing this it's $22/month) and the contract is month to month. I chose this place to rent from because my rental fee can go towards the purchase of a violin from the shop, and because they are a repair shop as well. I figured if I do decide to purchase in the future, it will be nice to have a locals business I can trust! When I stopped in the store, David helped me get exactly what I needed. I appreciate how there was zero pressure to buy a bunch of accessories and no judgment that I was going to get back into violin at my own pace without an instructor to start. He mentioned they know many great teachers, but seemed genuinely happy I was exploring this hobby in my own way. Overall, I got very good vibes from the shop and have already loved playing an instrument again. I highly recommend The Violin Shoppe for anyone interested in a stringed instrument!

I recently rented a pair of 1500w speakers from this GC at Pineville…read more I knocked 2 stars off due to my experience this time. I am a repeat customer (have rented speakers last year and bought a guitar from here). The store is well stocked and there are many musical instruments on the floor that customers can interact with the get a feel for them before deciding to purchase. The issue was with customer service. For most part it was good. I interacted with 4 different customer support people and all were perfectly fine except for one which is why I knocked 2 stars off. Here is what happened during this visit-- I rented the speakers for a function which was to take please in a huge indoor space which is the Indian Land Recreation center. The space is larger than this GC with ceiling hight nearly double that of GC. Both speakers looked a little dinged when I rented them. So I purchased insurance. We tested them in the store itself. Both were functional at normal talking volume. But once we setup the speakers in the huge indoor space and raised the volume to a reasonable level one of the two speakers performed very poorly and started producing thumping noise. So we reduced its gain to a lower decibel level. It was around just 60% of the other speaker. Still I could tell that the sound lacked crispness. So after the function when I returned the speakers to GC. I informed them that one specific speaker performed very poorly & that they should use the insurance I have purchased to replace it. So that they don't put it back into circulation again and some other people who rent it would have a bad experience. Then I requested for a partial refund of the rental value of one speaker. Instead of telling me what is the specific verbiage of the store policy the manager Mr. Dean was giving me a very purely subjective explanation of how in middle of my function I should have called the GC to tell them how the speaker was not performing well! So I asked if the store policy specifically says that if I called earlier like he said he would give a discount of any amount? To which he came up with more off tangent explanation about why insurance is important. So I explained to him that I did buy the insurance but the issue was with the rent I paid for a proper functioning speaker which I did not get (only one speaker functioned well). Again his implication was that we just used perfect speakers but now after the fact want to trick them into giving a refund. I challenged him to test the speakers then and there and raise the volume to the same level in both speakers and then he could tell how one of the speakers failed. He had no answer except that all speakers perform to less than their rated wattage and that's the natural order of things. I am no Audiophile but even I know that fact (since I was not born just yesterday). But there is an expectation of reasonable performance from any equipment that we rent. But that was not there in this case. So in the end they basically said that when you rent Speakers from them it can be a hit or miss and we have to be prepared for that risk. During our function many singers complained about the poor output and lacking the impact they expected. It was disappointing to the singers and the audience. So I have decided to purchase new set of speakers for the next year but definitely not from this GC because then I will be rewarding them for not standing behind their product quality and not showing a willingness to provide a fair customer support!

Hello ..lo...lo....anybody here here here ...????!!!!!…read more EMPTY! Only one person working at the store that I could see ....no-one available to unlock the acoustic guitars I was wanting to try out (the better ones are locked to their holders ....understandable, but then someone should be available to unlock them for customers!) And even if I had gotten to try the Martin model I wanted ( an upgrade from my current model), the strings were so tarnished from age that I couldn't have trusted the sound. Clearly no one was periodically changing and updating the strings. :-( Overall a very disappointing experience.

I still had to help her find the appropriate keys to start playing any piece. She had memorized the fingering, but didn't know how to translate the notes on the page to the keyboard. All of that changed quickly when we started with Danby. My daughter has come so far in just a year and is very proficient with all her scales and chords. She also is playing beautiful pieces of music, with no assistance. I would highly recommend Danby Music Lessons.
