Great shop, friendly staff. The owners are particularly wonderful people and they take care of…read moretheir customers without hesitation. If you go in, ask for Pete. Tell him Roscoe sent you. You won't get a discount, but tell him anyway. When I first went there, I was looking to get some lessons, and boy did I learn! I was looking specifically for bagpipe lessons and within two weeks time, Pete had me playing the saxophone solo from "Baker Street" on the 'pipes. They taught me so well, in fact, that I recently formed my own band - "Abbot and The Rosh Hashananana's". We'll be playing locally, but I have no doubt that we can make our band the next musical phenomenon - like Creed.

I did see some reviews about this place that made me nervous to buy a guitar here but I also saw…read moresome good ones and decided to try it out. I didn't mind so much getting a guitar that had minor issues, what I really hated was the attitude and unhinged behavior of the owner. It's a very "old-school" approach in the guitar and music world for older men to act belligerent, as if they are the only ones in the world with any common sense, when in truth they are simply the loudest and most arrogant. Times have changed and I hope the owner, instead of arguing with this review (which I imagine he will) goes to therapy and learns how to converse respectfully with others. Also the negative reviews where he says "you're referring to a different store " are BS, they are absolutely about this shop and he is trying to gaslight.
