This Mesa-based music store has been in business since 1946 & is family owned. This store is a very…read moreneatly-stocked store & has a large selection of instruments of all types for the every day musician. Very knowledgeable staff members on hand to assist you. On the main floor are the instruments, & upstairs you will find sheet music & an area for taking music lessons. Jon Milano, the grandson of the man who started this business, introduced himself to me & told me the history of this store. Very fascinating & if you walk through the back hallway of the store, you will see many photos of the various artists & celebrities who have visited this amazing music store! I'm a drummer so I will definitely return when I need something. I invite you to check this place out & say hello to my new friend Jon. Once you visit Milano's, you become part of the family!

String and keys player here, and they have plentiful amounts of both. Guitars are largely in the…read moreFender and Gibson realm; a huge variety of them, but limited other selections and not so many alternate brands. They try to do much in a limited space, and mostly, that works. Their wind and violin/viola/cello/bass/etc space is really nice, and their acoustical guitar and bass sections are strong. The keyboards area is sort of scrunched together but top brands and a bit of variety. I liked their synths, although not a crazy variety. Prices I heard seemed a bit higher, but there is added value here, too. Huge sheet music section. Much wind instrument variety, as well as mouthpieces, reeds/ligatures/etc. It has the widest and broadest inventory I've seen in Arizona. Worth a visit; musicians will appreciate the variety.

Bookmans Mesa is the best. At least once a quarter we clean out our bookshelves, board games, and…read morepuzzles, pile everything into the car, and bring it in for trade. I always feel like they give a really fair amount in trade credit, and somehow we always find new treasures to bring home. I especially love the board game section. It's packed with great options, though I do wish it was organized a bit more because there's so much to dig through. The kids area is wonderful too. On our last visit my daughter spent a ton of time browsing the young adult aisles and discovering new books. I only wish there was a location a little closer to us because we'd probably go even more often. Also throwing this out there... if they ever started a kids or teen book club, we would be all over that!

I like that they offer to donate anything left over, so we don't have to shlep the stuff they don't want to pay for, back home. Even though I did leave a bunch of stuff there, I did take back a box of record albums and took them to Zia Records who promptly offered $140 for them. Okay, not so promptly, but for $140 I didn't mind the wait and was happy I chose to get a second opinion.

I also applied for & got a Guitar Center card so I'll earn rewards. Alex waited on me & was very nice & even funny. He does take his customer service very seriously too, going above & beyond. This Guitar Center is a cool store & not too far from my house. Their drum room could use some upkeep, however, because the cymbals were coated in dust.

Today, we tried again ~ Why have a keyboard on display, when NOONE knows how to get it turned on OR how it works!? Talk about LAME!! TRY hiring people who KNOW how to run certain instruments!! I'll NEVER go back to this location ~ first, they're standing around doing nothing & then they can't figure out how to turn on or run a keyboard. I figured GC hires musicians that know how to run instruments. Obviously they only hire lame sales people who know NOTHING!!

Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

If you're looking for violins to rent or buy you can find it here. So many sizes from 1/32 (so…read morecute) to full size violins. They also rent and sell cellos, basses and violas. If you rent a violin it comes with rosin, shoulder rest and a shoulder strap to carry the violin case. If you know you want to have an instrument for years then buying it is the best option but if you're not sure then renting is the way to go, as well as rent to own. Their lobby area has a couch and a couple chairs. It can feel a bit cozy when there are many people. It seems like a popular place towards closing time on Saturday. Staff were friendly.

The staff is very attentive and efficient, as well as super helpful! They didn't have the item we wanted in the store... so the personable young man helped us by showing us online options. We selected one we thought my daughter would like and he suggested having it shipped to the store when I mentioned my mail service is shoddy. Each time I called to check if it had arrived (we were anxious) they were polite and patient with me. It arrived when they said it would, and they called me as soon as it arrived. When we came in for pick up, the nice young man told my daughter if she opened it there, he would tune it for her. The ukulele is beautiful- even better than we expected! *see the photo we posted* We could not be more pleased with the new organized store layout and the caliber of employees at this location. I will definitely be back for our ongoing music needs. It is rare to run across service with such high standards- the young men are well trained and professional, it is a pleasure to do business there!
