The instrument and case were in impeccable condition and the staff was extremely helpful. I strongly suggest adding the insurance to your rental for $10 extra a month.

Should he decide to continue with band, I'll be back!

It had been sitting, unloved and unwanted for a few weeks. I don't understand it- it should have been snatched up already. Pristine, US made, amazing price. But there she was, the wallflower needing a nice guy to dance with. I had to have her. The staff was great to work with. They let me use any amp I wanted, didn't hassle me on volume, even complimented a few of my licks. When it was time for purchase, they gave me a very fair trade value (exceeding the next closest GC by $150), got me out the door quickly, reminded me of the 45 day try out period, and wished me well. The Tele is a dream. I'm super happy. But this has been my typical experience with this GC location. They often have a good selection of used gear (though it's a bit sparse post the Memorial Day used gear blow out). And even when a little short staffed, they are polite. Their sister store could learn a lot from this...

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.

On a windy Saturday I decided to start our day with an introductory class and it was such a great pick-me-up. Finding the place was incredibly easy and there was enough parking for a dozen or so cars in their lot. The biz is situated in a cute little house with a nice play area in the back for the kiddos to frolic in before/after class. We went in for the 10am class with Ms. Ryan and were joined by 5 or 6 other kids and their parents. We were the only newbies but Ms. Ryan made us both feel so comfortable. She put a sticker on my son's back to remember his name (lolol) and did a great job at doing so! The songs and dances were easy to pick up on, well, for me an adult lol. My son is in his clapping and dancing phase, so he enjoyed clapping along. I loved that there were moments when they could grab their own instruments and play along - he loved that so much! All in all, an absolutely wonderful experience for my little musician and I. We can't wait to go back!

If you are looking for a flute, Allison is your person. She knows the flute as well as anyone I know, and I've been around the block a few times.

Alison was patient and positive; she's a gifted teacher with an encouraging manner. So after a few months I decided I wanted to stick with the flute, in great part because my cat likes to listen. It's all about the cats, right? So I wanted a nicer flute of my own. Alison had my try many different brands and types of flutes, listening with her experience to zero in on the flute that is just right for me. The process extended over 3 visits and a couple of months. Alison is a zero-pressure salesperson, more of a spirit guide through the world of flute. This is less like a retail experience and more like having a master tailor help to make a perfect suit. Today is New Flute Day. I cannot wait to get home and see if the kitty loves it too! Thank you Alison!
