Never going to deal with them again, they said my account is rent to rent, not rent to own, and i stated this account over 3 years ago and i know picked rent to own, and they didnt even ask me that question because we originally returned it then went back to rent it again, and the second time they didnt even ask me and they are saying i cant use my $1660 dollars towards purchasing a cello, when they keep sayin i can use that money towards a new cello..... they dont know what they are talking about and they keep hiding behind eachother its disgusting. Never again, people reading this, DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!!!

Instead of ordering online with another big box music store or directly from Fender, thought I'd do…read moremy business here to help local employment, as Fender's online store listed them as an authorized Fender dealer, before that never knew about this chain but glad I found them. Not only did they have the getting hard to find Fender Mustang Micro guitar headphone amp, but discounted from list $119 to $99. Sales person Francisco was great, sale had just ended but display case still had the sale price so he honored it like all stores should. By the way, this little Fender Mustang Micro is an amazing little guitar headphone amp & it's rechargeable instead of eating up batteries...

Yesterday I stopped…read morein to play some fenders to see if it was something I wanted and Bill was very accommodating. When it came down to me having questions, he was very knowledgeable and was patient enough to answer in detail. (I'm autistic and this is important to me) He wasn't pushy and basically let me sell it to myself. After the purchase was said and done he made sure everything was perfect. Seems like he even checked the intonation. Iv bought a lot of guitars and no one has ever done that. So Bill is awesome. Definitely would go back to buy another guitar.

We purchased a used sax for my son a couple months ago. Was told we get a free inspection and…read moreadjustment, including up to 2 new pads. We left it with them and picked it up a little later. Fast forward 2 months and my son is complaining now that his skills have increased and his private instructor said to get it checked out. We dropped a light inside in a dark room and there is light everywhere with the keys closed. If you press really hard you can get rid of most but not all of the light. Paying Ted Brown $225 to get a couple new pads, a hole leveled, and a couple bent keys fixed. My son has babied this thing so I know it's not new damage. I doubt they actually looked at it. Buyer beware. Otherwise we are happy with the purchase, just won't be going here for servicing.

I stopped in here to get a violin i got off craigslist looked at and the staff were all super…read morefriendly and very informative. They obviously do this for a living but it's so amazing to see people be able to look at an instrument and understand it so quickly. As someone that is just learning a violing i really appreciated that they took the time to look over my random instriment and recommend a few fixes and explained why they were important. Some things can wait as I am just learning in my free time but others like a separating fingerboard are important for playing in general so it was nice to be guided a bit on their necessity. Ultimately it is my decision what to fix and took them up on the fingerboard and it looks great! Really love it. I was also surprised that they cleaned my case. Because I just got it, I hadn't taken the time to clean the inside yet and was pleasantly surprised to see it had been cleaned. Feels like a nice personal touch 10/10. Will def go back for any more work I get done or if I want to upgrade instruments

We just happened to park by it as we were going to explore and grab a bite to eat in downtown Olympia. I asked the cashier how long the place has been around and I was told it's been around for about two years. I'm a bit shocked that no Yelp entry has been made yet. Gallery Boom is a gallery that features over 100 local artists and virtually all of the work here is for sale. The prices on a great deal of the art pieces asked by the artists seem very reasonable. Since this gallery features so many artists the variety on what type of art there is here is quite vast. I bought several things here... a dried mushroom under glass, a purple crystal, a Christmas ornament with moss in it, a UFO rear view mirror hanging ornament and the bigger purchase a small lamp. Pictures of most of those things to follow. I was very excited to get this lamp as the artist makes all kinds of sizes of lamps that are inspired by sci-fi, UFO's, the Space Needle and other similar building structures like it. I first came across these lamps at another Olympia art gallery, Matter Art Gallery. That gallery has since gone defunct and I was very sad to no longer see these lamps but now I know a great physical location to go to for these lamps (the same artist like many of the other artist either have their own website, a point of contact or an Etsy account as well). It was great reconnecting with those artistic lamps again! The cashier said that reaching out to nearly all of the artists is easy and they are very receptive to communicating with the public. This also reflects onto the gallery itself as it doesn't come across stuffy or pretentious in the slightest. The cashier also mentioned that the art for sale can rotate out relatively quickly and that their is almost always something new to examine in a relatively short amount of time. Not only that but one pass down the aisles here just doesn't seem to do it justice. It seems like each time you walk where you already were you see something that didn't catch your eye the first time. So you can spend a lot of time here just doing that. I'm totally addicted to this place! I am SO coming back here but I'm going to wait maybe several weeks to a month for new art pieces to get brought in. If nothing else I'm most likely going to buy another one of those lovely lamps!
