Ok, my second trip there to buy an instrument. I took with me a violin instructor of 30 plus years…read moreexperience. We were extremely impressed. We ended up purchasing a viola for my wife. The staff there was amazing, considerate and patient. We ended up with an extremely nice viola for less than what I had initially figured. They made sure it fit my wife to a Tee and everything was of good or excellent quality. The instructor I had brought with me was very impressed and said afterwards to me she had never been treated so well nor was a potential customer treated so well in all of her years teaching. Yes it was a 100 mile one trip for us from Columbus one way but worth it. Will be back again to buy a viola for myself soon.

It's a great place if you want to be condescended to…read more We were looking for a 3/4 upright bass bridge. We asked the dude about it, and his response was 'for what?' Ummm.... To hold the strings in place? Then he told us 'You know you have to cut that down, right?(what a douche bag)' We told him that we have a luthier that will cut it for us. Apparently, that just offended his soul. He points to a frame on the wall and said, 'You see that? That says I know more than anyone else in the city!' It was an Associate's degree from the University of Indiana (Juilliard for meth addicts). The rest of the experience was basically him telling us how he doubts our project is professional (although we make more money than probably 70% of musicians-- not to be arrogant, I just know how this business is), how all the great symphonies come to him, and all the local schools bands. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure this guy absolutely knows what he's talking about. However, if you play anything other than stuffy classical music-- find it somewhere else or online. There are PLENTY of places that'll cut a bridge for you. I guess he's just opposed to new customers.

I went in looking for ukulele strings, and browsed their ukulele and guitar section. They didn't have the strings I was looking for (although I didn't have my hopes up), they were mostly stocked with a limited selection of D'Addarios. They had only a couple cheaper, entry-level ukes. Their guitar selection was more robust with your typical selection of American-brand low-to-mid-level guitars. Willis had what seemed like a make-shift humidified room for their more expensive guitars, and that had a few entry-level Martins and some other pretty nice guitars. Overall, it's a pretty solid local music store to have on the eastside. It can definitely save some local musicians from driving down 275 to get to the Guitar Center and Sam Ash. It can also be a treasure trove for someone getting into music. But if you're more experienced and looking for something specific, it'll be best to call ahead and check if they stock your item.

I would like to share my experience with Frank and Seta Music over the last decade…read more When I was back in college, I made my first purchase from Frank - a relatively inexpensive digital piano. Frank made the experience easy and seamless, giving me a fair price and excellent service even though I didn't have a huge budget and probably didn't look the part of a serious piano buyer. I will always appreciate that he took me seriously and treated me well even though I was a kid. That instrument served me well for many years, but as an adult years later I became interested in the amateur piano classical competition circuit. I knew I would need a higher quality piano that could handle several hours of practice a day, so I purchased another much more expensive instrument from Seta Music. Just like the first time, Frank made the experience easy as could be. He let me demo the instrument multiple times in his showroom and left me alone for several hours in private to enjoy the piano. Delivery was prompt, he was helpful to arrange financing, and everything went as well as it possibly could have with my purchase and delivery experience. During the many years I have been a Seta Music customer, I have encountered a couple of issues with my instruments that required service from the manufacturer. Frank and Seta Music stepped up each and every time, always making sure I was taken care of. I can honestly say that I feel Frank has his customer's backs, and that makes me happy to be a repeat customer. As a repeat customer of Seta Music who has also experienced the high quality of after-sales support that they give (even several years later), I can whole-heartedly recommend Frank to any serious pianist. He provides good products, good service, and ultimately will take care of his customers. That is exactly the type of business I want to support.
