This is a local music shop in Thibodaux, LA that I stopped in to check out after a deposition…read morerecently... Just wanted to peruse the guitar selection and prices and was VERY impressed with the quality of offerings and prices. While there I shot the breeze with the owner (per my usual weakness I forgot his name) who was a really cool guy...Also met a guy named Tony who plays in the band Louisiana LaRoux and has won multiple Grammys and had recently written and sold a song to Kid Rock called "Po-Dunk"... Obviously Kid Rock thought enough of the song to make a video which at the time I met Tony had over 10 million views on YouTube... so that interaction was way cool and check the song out... I like it but then I am just a simple ol' redneck... The store is heavy on Peavey instruments and electronics but they also carry Ventura and Dean guitars which are very reasonably priced and of good quality didn't really check out the drum kits... It's a shame these local Mom & Pop stores are taking such a hit due to internet music sales and if in Thibodaux and feeling musically inclined stop in and support this place. You might just meet a local musician with Grammys in his pocket like I did...

Over the years I have purchased a few right hand guitars that needed to be changed over to left…read morehand so I can play them. Each of them has been converted, new strings and set up to my satisfaction. Each of the guitars had no buzz and the strings were lowered to my satisfaction. If you don't want to pay the price of the guitar strings they sell then bring your own and they will put them on at the same price as if they sold the strings. Yes, the strings are higher priced than Best Buy or Amazon but consider this is a music store and they do make a profit off of the strings. I have always found the owners and the employees nice and helpful. They offer good advice to me and advice me what is needed to get the used guitar playable for this left handed person. I. Myself, recommend Lanier Music for your musical needs.

Tim Lawson absolutely destroyed my American Pro II Telecaster doing a refret and side marker…read moreinstall. (see pics) He admits it is messed up but his only offer of recourse is to let him " fix" it. Since he personally did the "work" himself, I refused to let him touch it again. That's where things got ugly and he said he wasn't refunding "sh:# and he would see me in court if thats what I chose to do" Unbelievable! Now I am out $600 and have an unplayable guitar. it just makes me sick. So yes Tim, you will indeed see me in Small Claims Court.

After all the times I've been ignored and talked to rudely at Guitar Center, I'm only going to C&M now. Mel and his guys are always happy to help with a good attitude!

As for the people saying harsh things about this local company, I truly feel like it's likely a misunderstanding on the part of both parties... but I don't know, I wasn't there.

We love Grace Notes and the talented instructors that teach there. My daughter has been taking…read moreprivate viola lessons there for several months and has gotten far with the viola. Her lessons are for 30 minutes, but has been taught various techniques and started playing songs after about a month of instruction. They are great for any age, not just children. Instruction offeredis: piano, violin, viola, cello, guitar and music composition adults and children. Their prices are monthly at very affordable rates. They have a waiting room, if you are dropping off your child. The location is off of Perkins Road on Silverside Drive, the turnoff is across the street from the Albertson's grocery store plaza, so try not to miss it. Call them today to schedule you first lesson. They also offer group lessons, so inquire with them on that or refer to their website (linked to their Yelp page).
