We went into Summerhays to rent my Middle Schooler a trumpet for his first band instrument for this school year. He thought he wanted to play the trumpet and when we went in, Matthew was very helpful! Matthew sat down with us and brought out the trumpet, a French horn and a trombone. He was so patient with my 6th grader and spent time showing him tips and tricks for each instrument including breathing, posture, hand placement and lip positioning, I was so grateful for Matthew's time and expertise! My son ended up leaving with a trombone and I think it's a great fit for him after Matthew explained the different instruments. He was even complimentary of my son's range and I think that has made a positive impact on my son's enthusiasm to try the trombone. The rental process was very easy and they even have a chart of which book of music we need for our school's band program. I would highly recommend renting your kids' instruments here! read more

OUTSTANDING customer service from Christian in the string repair department. Christian was an absolute breath of fresh air. From the moment we walked in he was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and patient with my 9 year old and her viola string repair. He included my daughter in said repair making her feel capable and confident. Christian's enthusiasm and all-around delightful demeanor ignited a deeper interest for her today. Summerhays is a beautiful store with a wide variety of instruments at reasonable prices. Many of the items I needed today were on sale which is always a bonus. Thank you for such a positive experience Christian! read more

I bought a wonderful piano from the Summerhays company. My salesperson was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable, caring, accommodating, respectful and so nice!!! . Helped with everything, including shipping to Oregon. A great resource for everyone anywhere seeking a great piano and trustworthy, excellent service. Thank you!! From Sylvia read more

Rude the piano guy said a plastic folder with scratch a piano. Unbelievable. For music, store should be more courteous and professional. No need to move nobody's personal things. read more

We tried the rent to own program. When I went in to switch to a different instrument they wouldn't let me switch and told me I had to stay in the same "class". They completely failed to mention this when I originally signed the contract. Manager and staff were courteous but completely unhelpful. Go to Riverton Music or somewhere else. read more

I called on the phone for help with finding an instrument accessory, and Sherry was so helpful. She took the time to stay on the phone with me sorting through accessories to help me find what I needed! read more

Used their connected system to look up instrument. Then turned instrument away for service because it was bought at the "other" Summerhays.

So grateful to Summerhays for making the Anton Richter piano available--at an affordable price. I finally have a grand piano! The action is perfectly balanced and satisfying to the touch; the sound is beautiful, with clear rich tones from the base to the treble. It is a joy to play. We received professional, informative, and completely non-pressuring help as we were deciding on what to buy. read more

Lots to look and choose from for any musician, they have something for every musician and I believe they have rentals of most instruments. Lots of music books to chose from and nicely organized. Although I'm an online order shopper most of the time with things like this, I ended up buying from there because their prices are competitive and you can get it right there. I was asked if I needed help several times as I cruised through different areas of the store. The store is very clean, organized and selection is great. read more

In junior high I wanted to play the saxophone. I didn't know much about it, but it looked kind of sexy and I was just the right age where suddenly that mattered a lot. So I showed up to beginning band and when Mr. Lloyd asked who was going to be playing the sax, I shot my hand up in the air. Well, the problem was that so did so many other kids' hands. Apparently my thoughts on shiny sexy instruments were not unique. So after holding out for my dreams for a good minute or two, I reluctantly agreed to switch to the clarinet. The thick-rimmed glasses and klunky shoes cousin to the sax. Whether it was the instrument or myself I'll never know, but I never quite achieved the success with the ladies in junior high that I had hoped for. I did, however, have my first interaction with Summerhays music. We rented a clarinet (the "we" was my parents, although I lugged the thing around every day) for two years. About halfway through the second year I gave up trying to play the thing and just sang the right note through the instrument. And thus ended my illustrious music career. Fast forward to this week, when for the first time since those gloriously awkward years I had another chance to pop in to Summerhays. The place has changed over the few (ha!) years since my early teens, but it's still a sharp place. They clearly have a sharp focus on customer service, as I entered I was approached warmly and then guided directly to the area I was seeking. It was nice, and I found it right away. They've got a wide selection of gear for every popular instrument and style of music out there. And lots of stuff that really confused me. I'm sure it's perfectly normal stuff, but there are a lot of accessories you just never think about. And lots more I've never even imagined. If I have one criticism, it's the checkout procedure. I was in a massive hurry. I found the item thanks to the nice young feller who assisted me. I was ready to pay. And then the questions came: Name. Phone number. Address. City. State. Zip. I mean, I'm paying cash. I'm spending less than $5 with you, not checking into the hospital. Still, it was just a minor inconvenience and while somewhat delayed I was on my way. read more

I don't know much about music or music stores, but to my uneducated self Summerhays Music seems like a really nice music store. The store was really well-organized inside and everything was presented well and in good shape. They seem to carry some of everything: guitars and drums, pianos and sheet music, violins and harps, and much, much more. If its related to music chances are Summerhays has it. read more

Summerhays has so many instruments for many different levels of musicians. They have great music choices, accessories, and supplies. Their strings section is impressive as is the wind instruments section. The staff is knowledgeable about the instruments and have good advice. read more

Awesome music store. The woman who helped me was an accomplished concert pianist, like played in Lincoln center level of accomplished. That was fantastic. We ultimately left with a small electric piano that looks great and I absolutely love. The staff was helpful, knowledgable, and more concentrated on finding me a great instrument rather than selling something. After playing instruments for more than 15 years, I've been to several music stores, and summerhays ranks among the best read more

Allison is a superior employee. She has helped me get a harp, a harp stool, and some music stands; not to mention has helped me maneuver the harp world providing resources for teachers, information on harp supplies and parts, information on different brands of harps, harp dollies, etc. She is personable, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable. If you want to buy a good harp, go to Summerhays and ask for Allison: she will help you find what is right for you and will be with you the entire time. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. read more

So I've been in band for 6 years now and I honestly don't think I would be where I am right now without Summerhays. The best part of Summerhays is definitely the staff. Every time I go into a facility, I am immediately impressed with how helpful the staff are. They are very friendly and they actually know what they are talking about, whether it's information about music, instruments, accessories, private lessons or just band or orchestra in general they always help me out. I first started band in 7th grade with absolutely no music experience. My parents also had no musical experience and had no idea what kind of instrument to buy, what reeds to get, what cleaning supplies was needed, or what private teachers are good in the area. So I showed up on my first day of summer band of my little 7th grade year and there was a group of Summerhays employees with a instruments to test play and all sorts of other stuff. They let me use one of the clarinets for my first day of practice. While I was in rehearsal the staff answered all the questions multiple parents had. I got a really great head start on my music career I'm a saxophone player and every time It needs a repair, I take it in to Alan, the repair technician at the Layton facility. The repair technicians are top notch. They understand what needs to be done and get it done quickly and accurately. When I last took mine in to get fixed, I noticed the technician had not only changed the pads on my saxophone, but he had also gone the extra mile and tightened all the screws on the horn. Summerhays is an amazing place to whether you're new player or if you have been playing for 40 years. I would strongly recommend taking care of all of your band or orchestra stuff at Summerhays. They literally have everything you need to be a great musician! read more

I went into the store having no knowledge of what the purchase for my eight-year-old son who is learning music at school. Matthew, the salesman, was extremely informative, not pushy, and within 30 minutes I left with a clarinet for my son as a rent to own instrument. read more

Allison was amazing! She went above and beyond, she helped me in choose and pick out a harp for the 8 month rental period. So fun and vivacious! Answered all of my questions, was there for me, and helped out tremendously. Would highly recommend. Also, she deserves a raise. Thank you Allison! read more

My daughters trombone had a stuck mouthpiece and they removed it quickly and without charge.

Came here for classical sheet music as one review states that it has the best selection in town. How disappointing. I have more sheet music at home than in their entire classical section. Wasted trip. read more

Top notch repair facility. Great prices! Knowledgeable and courteous staff. In fact, when I just now went in I had no idea what reeds my kid uses for his Tenor Sax so they looked up my last transaction and we got the info from there. Extremely helpful and capable of preventing mental breakdown for the day! Highly recommend read more

Summerhays fixed my guitar strings for a reasonable price. As a cello player I love coming here to pick up some rosin!

Bought our piano from here and they are great! Been around for sooooo long, but still knows how to keep the customer first. Nothing bad to say here, only great things. My kids also took some lessons and were able to have some fun at school. Showing friends what they have learned, thanks to Summerhays! read more

I had a few problems with my instrument, but they only took a few minutes for them to fix it. Most of the fixes were free as well. Friendly employees and great service. Best music store. read more

It was a Friday, 10 minutes until closing time, and I was on a mission to get a cello! Estefan was extremely patient, and pulled several cellos for me to try at different price points. He helped me narrow them down one by one and talked about each one's strengths. It was extremely helpful having him play the final two so I could pick the one that suited me. He went above and beyond and swapped out the tail piece for me, gave me a discount, and he stayed 45 minutes past closing. I really appreciated his helpfulness and his knowledge of the various cellos he showed. Super customer service and I love my new cello! read more

My husband and I were looking to buy me a trombone after losing mine in a house fire. Finances dictated that I would probably end up with an intermediate horn after viewing online prices. But Lucky me! When we inquired at Summerhays Music, we were delighted to find that they had a used professional Bach Stradivarius horn that they were willing to let go for LESS than the intermediate horn prices we had seen online! And this "used" horn was in perfect condition! Well worth the price! Mr. Summerhays handled the transaction himself and was very kind and knowledgeable. Well worth buying an instrument here! read more

They have gone out of their way to help us out. The (I think owner...or she is super awesome with some pull anyway) has made sure we have had a positive experience . If my son chose to change instruments the payments would go to the new instrument . If my daughter chooses to play an instrument when she gets old enough I am sure we will get it here Beautiful store. read more

I recently purchased a "1922 Robert A Dolling" Violin from Estefan Cortez at Summerhays Music store. Wow, what great experience!!! He had so much knowledge of the stringed instruments and gave over the top service. When I went in to buy a violin I was not sure what I wanted, I only knew my budget. Estefan allowed me to play 15 different violins, in the price range I could afford, in a music room and I kept narrowing down the violins until I ended up with the violin I loved to hear and play the most. Then the process repeated itself with many bows. I played them and kept narrowing them down until I found the best bow that was best for me on my new violin. I am soooo happy with the 1922 Robert A. Dolling Violin and beautiful bow I purchased at Summerhays. I love the deep rich tone and ease of playability of this violin, it also projects very well and keeps opening up and getting better and better with time. I highly recommend Estefan Cortez at Summerhays Music store if you need a stringed instrument, this is the place to go. Summerhays has the largest selection of violins to choose from that I've seen and Estefan will really help you find what is best for you and what will make you happy to play. Thank you Estefan and Summerhays Music for my new best friend. AR read more

Decent place. The instruments are decent, they're sometimes a bit short on the little things. They'll have some sheet music and not others, or they'll have some string types and not others, and the next time you go in, it's flipped and they had one thing but not the other thing. They're technically a Best in Music downstairs, and a Summerhays on top. read more

We bought my kids a piano here and couldn't be more happy with the service I received in making a good choice, they didn't pressure me into spending a small fortune and the piano we got sounds amazing and will be around longer than me, I'm sure. Great experience. read more

They were very kind and helpful to my family. The store assistant tuned our violin and fixed the bow without even charging us anything and gave us a book about care and maintenance. I would definitely go there again and see Estefan for help and will suggest it to any of my friends or family who need help with instruments read more

So amazing! Not only is the store BEAUTIFUL inside (complete with tons of gorgeous harps, hardwood floors, and an amazing array of professional instruments) the staff is amazingly helpful! Each of them are so professional and are all musicians. Seriously - why waste your time anywhere else, when Summerhays can take care of everything you need AND MORE! read more

They are kind, but they are very expensive. We also had a major issue with our billing - our credit report still showed the loan active two years after we paid it off. We'll choose a different option in the future. read more
