I took a road trip to G&A from Louisville, Kentucky to pick up a vintage Cleveland-era Rogers Drum…read moreKit that I bought for a great price through Facebook Marketplace. Throughout the process, Mike and Andy were communicative, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The shop itself is small, but it is carefully curated and the selection is excellent. The inventory caters to guitarists and bassists, primarily, but they will occasionally have a drum kit or two in the store as well. I peaked at a high-end-Gretsch, a vintage Fender jazz bass, and a blackface Bassman amp they had kicking around. I might have walked out with an impulse purchase if I hadn't been so pressed for time. The whole place was clean and well organized - not often a feature common to music shops. They had a wonderful selection of 60s-70s music playing in-store. Both Andy and Mike seem to love what they do; there was none of the jadedness you often find in retail. I'd highly recommend them, and I also recommend checking out the owner's pet project, a recording studio called "Dirty White Couch."

There's no high pressure to buy, and everyone is very knowledgeable. We've taken guitars for set ups/adjustments and the work was done quickly and efficiently with explanation of what was done (again, as a beginner, this was really appreciated). Daughter bought her first electric guitar here and it was an awesome experience all around, in every way.

Conn-Selmer, the parent company of Bach, is working with tubist Chuck Daellenbach of Canadian Brass on a new tuba design that I got a peak at while visiting the factory. The staff is extremely passionate and proud of the products they produce, and are super helpful when it come to picking an instrument. I was here with Canadian Brass choosing an entire arsenal of Bach instruments: C trumpet, Bb trumpet, cornet, Eb trumpet, piccolo, and flugel (I chose a Conn flugel). Bach is famous for their beautiful sounding hand-hammered bells. The quality of every instrument I played was consistently high, yet each had unique qualities that made choosing the right one a true joy. I came away with 6 incredible instruments and a handful of great memories hanging out with the great people at the Bach factory of Conn-Selmer!
