No better place in Calgary to buy guitars. I bought my first PRS guitar from them about 14 years…read moreago. I bought my Roland FP3. Also digital recording gear and a ton of accessories like the various Roland GT6, then GT10, Then GT100 and so on. Too much stuff to list. They've always given me the best service and been the most helpful. I've dealt with every other music store in the Calgary area but I always see these guys first if I'm looking for something as I know they'll give me the best service and support. Plus they've never hidden behind stupid policies but have always used common sense in solving any problems I've had with products they've sold me. They actually seem to value customers more than other music stores in Calgary. I've never been left dissatisfied with what they've done for me. After more than 15 years dealing with them I can't believe they still have some of the same staff.

Friendly and helpful staff, convenient location and a decent gear makes this a great addition to…read morethe community. Their guitar tech, Steve, is fantastic.

Antonio spent some 3 hours today tuning my 65+ year old Harmonic piano which had been neglected…read morefor a number of years and was sounding rather tinny! I couldn't be more pleased with how personable and courteous Antonio was and how obviously dedicated to his craft he is. He is very well versed in all makes of pianos and a perfectionist at his job. I really appreciated his coming to my country home and his extremely reasonable rate for his service. I will definitely call him again next time and strongly recommend him to anyone needing their piano tuned. Carol U.

I can recommend Rosati Piano Services without hesitation. Our Yamaha piano had been neglected for…read moremany years, but Antonio was able to bring it back into fine condition . This required a number of minor repairs and a lot of time (almost three hours) on his part. Despite this effort, he was happy to take additional time to explain the inner workings of the piano and some of the intricacies involved in getting the tuning to hold. All of this for his already very economical flat fee. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and eager to get the instrument into the best possible condition for his client. Thank you Antonio.

Picked it up the other day and took it home to give it some play and I was pleasantly surprised as to the wiring job Nikk performed!

Always a pleasure to have Nikk and Jay work on my custom guitars, I have come to rely on their expertise and passion for their craft and I rest assured that my instruments are in good hands!

About 17 years ago I brought our son to Discovery Music. The previous week he wanted to become a…read moreprofessional soccer player but this week he wanted to learn how to play a bass guitar. Discovery had a brilliant plan that provided a bass guitar, amp and ten lessons, payable in ten instalments. I figured in a couple of weeks my son would move on to his next career choice and I would be out only two payments. Instead, my son became absolutely committed to learning how to play and continued playing and learning, eventually graduating from the Victoria Conservatory of Music. I credit this largely to the quality of instruction at Discovery and their commitment to their students and to making good music. Last week I took our grandson to Discovery for his guitar lesson. Nothing has changed. Same great staff, same commitment to music and to their students. In summary, I can't think of a better place in Calgary to learn about music and how to play.

There is a closed club of people that toe the line. If you want to be involved with this company, be a real estate agent, buy the land for them. Don't think selling/renting will pay you what they require of you. The one store made roughly 4M, and property increased 15M. I made 16.62/hr to be a financer, no commission, condescending management (likely power tripping because their salary ceiling is too low). I think this a classic example of expected a lot of horse power without due compence. Management was good and I'd been happy to continue. I was illegally under speculation. Otherwise was apologized to twice by accounts departments.
