About 6 months ago I had Doc refret my 2004 Strat Deluxe with stainless steel frets and his work and care was immaculate. Any guitar player knows getting new frets is akin to heart surgery and rather than risk a botch job I used to drive my guitar down to a tech in Calgary who I trusted. Doc has replaced that tech for me. The other day I had him install a new tusque nut and replace the SI pot on my Strat. I needed it for the weekend and he did all the work that day - wonderful! Staff at the store is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I've been in the market for a good but well priced acoustic guitar for awhile now. This place has a…read moregreat selection of quality Canadian made guitars at really great prices, as well as the usual Yamaha, Ibanez, etc. The owner (Al) was on the phone when I came in, but he acknowledged me and let me know he would be right with me. As soon as he was done, he came and showed me some guitars, let me try them out, gave me some advice, and then gave me some space to think about it. He was the perfect amount of helpful without pressuring me. They also have electric guitars, keyboards, and all sorts of recording equipment. I have had such mediocre experiences with the chain music stores lately, I'm glad this local business is still around. I did some quick googling, and the prices are very competitive with the bigger stores too. All in all, a very positive and informative visit. I think I've found the guitar I want! I highly recommend checking them out.

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 ;-)

Awesome service!…read more I've taken a few vocal lessons at Truimph and pop in from time to time when I grab a Booster Juice to grab strings or have a look at all their stuff! The person who books lessons is Jenn, she's really friendly and from what I can tell she works hard to meet your needs. I also happen to take my vocal lessons with her. She personalizes your lessons and really works to make you happy and to get a great sound coming from you. I'm a female vocalist in a metal band, and she's really helped me find an edge in my voice and connect with my pipes. In talking with a few of the other teachers there, they do lessons from beginner all the way to college/university prep. The staff are all very friendly and very knowledgable about their product, and they're really great at making you feel at ease if you entered the store as someone like me (knowing I wanted to start playing accoustic guitar, but knowing nothing about them.) They have a lots of entry level guitars, basses, and amps, but they also have lots of really nice stuff for a seasoned player. My husband has been playing bass since he was 15 and loves the selection of gear that they have, and he often wanders in there just to "talk shop" with the employees. Overall, if you're someone who wants to get into the music, or you have a kid who wants to start playing an instrument, I really recommend the music lessons, or just popping in and having a chat with anyone behind the desk. If you love music, still check it out.

The guys at the southside store were prompt in responding to my chat request with Bradford. Brad helped me decide between two keyboards that I couldn't decide on which resulted in saving a few hundred dollars. He also arranged to have the store call me to arrange local delivery. Cory was also helpful for me to decide on a budget friendly midi controller. He was professional, friendly and answered all my questions. Not only was the store able to offer delivery for free, but the store manager offered to deliver it himself on the same day of the order. I cannot thank you guys so much for helping this older musician with my studio upgrade. I've been shopping around for a couple of years for a new piano, and I'm pleased with my purchases. The MIDI controller is also fantastic. To the people complaining; I used to work in a music store. If you ask for help, most staff will help. Many customers prefer to be left alone to browse.

I received it, it had never even been opened to view the battery chamber- as the screw to the battery chamber was bent all to hell, unusable- more surprises awaited! The posts of two of the knobs were also bent out of shape and the selectors pointed to one thing but did another, which, if anyone had tested it would immediately notice, as I did, that is was damaged in many ways. Then I am told I have 30 days to return it, no extra store credit offered, or maybe they could extend that return window a smidge because I'm 200 Km away... I have dropped over 3 grand at L and M over the years (30 years) and that's the last cent of mine they will see. 10/10 for sleaze.
