They are a small,…read morelocally owned business (which is a plus), and yet they still have more relevant products in stock than Long & McQuade. I needed to have a pickup installed on my Martin Backpacker. L&M couldn't do it, but Mhyre's could, and they even had the right kind of pickup in stock. Also, they have beautiful used instruments at great prices. This is my favourite music shop. My only complaint is that it's not closer to my house.

Do you like playing guitars, violins, or any instrument dealing with strings? I'm gonna be honest,…read moreI don't play music instruments myself. I'm just here to visit with a friend. Staff is friendly and easily helped us find the right strings for my friend's convenience. This place is like the gold mine for many stringed instruments. They carry lesson books, and possibly repairs or tuning if needed. Teaching you may need to call and ask. There is plenty of supplies and tools for whatever purpose you may need for guitars and such. What intrigued me most was the unique designs of guitars they carry. See photos. Parking is found at the side of the building, small parking lot. I will recommend this place to friends and if your a musician string player looking for replacements or tune ups this place is a good choice.

How lucky was I to find this store and connect with Ron Churchhill. After a global wide search for…read morea Guild Starfire II bass I found a "new old stock" one at Innovations Music. Absolutely pristine and unplayed. Ron gave me the fairest deal and it shipped beautifully and safely packed. It sailed through Customs to California, arriving with a fresh set of Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats and completely set up and ready to play. 100% as described. It's been my go-to since it arrived. I would have written this review months ago, but I just could not put the bass down long enough. Tremendous value, service and quality.

I'm so happy I came here. The gentleman helping me (I didn't get his name but he mainly works weekends!) was SO knowledgeable about every ukulele I asked about. I had a ton of questions and he was able to answer every one with ease, and add info as well. I ended up buying a concert ukulele after he showed me quite a few. I was given great care instructions and I have no hesitation on coming back here again if I need repairs or to purchase a new instrument. Thanks for making my day!

My problem with the place is with the music school. I signed up for five private lessons. On the 4th, I had to call in sick 5 hours prior. End of the month I found out that it was a missed appointment and I would not receive any more until I paid up for another month. I didn't like this. If you're sick then you'd still better go or you'll lose $60. After some back and forth, they did finally offer the lesson but by then I was not interested and did forfeit the lesson. Don't pay 1 month in advance. Besides that, you may not like the instructor.

Gordon Price Music has the best selection of music and music teaching materials in the city. They…read moreprovide music of all sorts from classical, pop, rock, traditional and whatever you can imagine - for most main stream instruments. If there is something special you need they usually can order it in. Being a piano teacher I appreciate the teacher discount they provide. They also reimburse your parking if you spend more than $20 in the store. Gordon Price Music also provides workshops from notable presenters on music book lines, music theory and other topics of interest. If you're a member or a teacher and are on their mailing list you'll be made aware of when these take place. Not only does Gordon Price sell music, but also great teaching aids and musical novelty items, which is great for anyone musical in your life. Their staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about music - go figure - and are always there to lend a hand. I've called ahead and asked for books to be held for me which they've done without hesitation. That alone makes me return on a regular basis for my teaching materials.

Pretty happy to have a Long & McQuade in my neck of the woods…read more This location is just off of 137th ave in the industrial area not far from either St. Albert Trail or 156th street. They have an acoustic room which I much prefer in being able to sit down and play quietly and look at all the options. Recently brought our 9 year old here after Christmas to pick out her first guitar of her own. She found a fabulous bright coraly-pink acoustic that came with a case on sale for under $200 and surprisingly sounded great. Hubs picked up a Merlin (related to dulcimer) which he as been wanting to get. Total transaction was less than $400 which if you play guitars, know is a freaking miracle. Opted for the additional year of insurance on both for $5, why not? What keeps them from a 5 star? Well, we had to wait to find someone to help us a couple times and really, couldn't you let my daughter pick out a couple 50 cent neon pink picks for free when we're buying two instruments? See you soon Long & McQuade. I'm sure you'll be emptying our bank account again in no time ;-)

We rented speakers and a microphone for…read moreour wedding, and at pickup they did not give any instructions for how to use the equipment like we had discussed over the phone. They also did not go through the list of requested equipment and left out a critical cable that allows the speakers to play from a phone. This meant family members were scrambling until hours before the wedding began to find a local cable. Without this cord the speakers were not usable to play music. At return, staff said they could only refund $20 for the cord that was not provided, even though without the cord the entire equipment was useless to us. Two big ole thumbs down.

He was very patient and made sure he knew our price range before we began the violin selection process. Jim never tries to sell you anything you don't need. My son is in his 5th year of Suzuki Violin and didn't need the $400 bow Jim let him use as he tried out the violins. We got a carbon fibre bow instead. We also left our antique French 3/4 violin with him to glue together - there was a gap. Luckily, there wasn't any other major work to be done on it. Jim said this French violin was setup very well and the pegs were still good. Again, he doesn't try to sell you stuff you don't need. He also explained to us what he was looking for as he inspected the antique French violin. I've recommended Bella Music to the other parents in Saskatoon Suzuki Strings
