I came in hoping to find a music folder (choir type with a hand strap and all). They have them…read moreonline, but I wanted to test the weight and feel. They didn't have any in store, but of course offered to order one. The staff was very friendly. One even suggested I try the Christian store in the same shopping center. I would have never thought of it, but it makes sense because the whole church choir thing. If I find myself in need of musical instruments, I will certainly return to Music & Arts in Cary.

You know that feeling when store employees act nice, but it seems like a façade? That's the vibe I…read moregot from here. After seeing an online promotion for a "free" guitar if I paid for lessons, I signed up. After taking the initial trial lesson, I asked to see the guitar because I was ready to pay for the lesson package but I was told to come back the following week to actually pay and receive the guitar. Apparently, the promotion wasn't available yet. I wish they had told me this over the phone when scheduling the initial lesson, but whatever. They were kind enough to put my name on the guitar to hold it, and I came back the next week and paid, as I was asked to do. At the following lesson I arrived early and was waiting for the instructor to arrive. While waiting, I heard an employee complaining to another person about the guitar promotion. He wasn't keeping his voice down, which made it seem as if his conversation was intentionalIy loud enough for customers to hear. My instructor was polite and professional, but his teaching style was not a good fit for me. It happens, but I was disappointed. I'm a musician that has had lessons on a variety of instruments, plus I teach my own instrument, so I'm not new to music instruction, especially as an adult. It just took me a while to warm up, I guess. Maybe I'm not in the typical demographic for who takes lessons at this store, I don't know. I decided not to continue with lessons, and I probably won't come back to this store to buy any music or accessories in the future.

I haven't been in every "guitar shop" in Raleigh. I would…read morevisit other shops but I don't have a reason for it. I met Harry Tueting the year he opened Harry's Guitars on Glenwood Avenue near downtown Raleigh. I bought strings and played new guitars I could not buy- no steady job. Still I had a clunker to bang on. I took lessons from Steve Howell in the early years. I met Terry Dineen when he began some years later. He was just a kid but he knew a lot more about guitars than I did. I'd played since I was 12, on cheap guitars, but I played. Thanks to the things I learned through visiting this business, I've developed into a modestly decent player. I've met musicians of every skill level in a place where I feel welcome. I've listened to people crank the amps and play for HOURS. No one ever objected. I know and understand the value of a good guitar. I've bought -and returned- guitars from Harry's. Nobody complained. I read the bad reviews given herein and I am STUNNED. Perhaps the reviewers are (1) upset because they did something out of ignorance and can't get over it or (2) have an ax to grind because they weren't regarded as royalty or (3) are simply mean spirited. I cannot in any way associate anyone I know, or have known, at Harry's Guitars with the ugliness I read in those "reviews". Not under Harry's watch. Not under Scott and Mike's watch. Not in the real world.

I teach various instruments but like to teach uke the best since it is the easiest way to learn a…read morefretted instrument. There used to be four great music stores here and now we are down to one, and luckily, they are hanging in there. Harry has actually retired but the employees are still there. I always steer my students there since you can get a decent uke for just over $100. Then you can take your time to get a better uke once you are sure you want to get better. If you don't get their complete attention, it usually means they are dealing with a difficult customer, but they will get to you.

Awesome studio, I was able to turn out several really amazing mixes with Dick Hodgin's help! He was…read moreflexible with my busy schedule and with my off-the-wall music ideas (lord knows how many vocal stacks he tuned only for me to change things up on him the next meeting, thank you and I'm so sorry lol). This was my first time recording outside of my own home studio, let alone with another person, so I had a LOT of learning to do. Dick not only was patient as I figured out the protocols, but also took the time to instruct me on how to be better prepared, how to turn out better mixes, and overall best studio practices. He knows that time is money, and would often point out the things I could be doing at home to make things run more efficiently/have less work to do in the studio itself. He is also able to make fun and interesting suggestions for subtle effects and enhancements that I never would have known about, and that really elevate your music to the next level. I feel like I came out on the other side with great mixes and a LOT more knowledge--not a bad deal, especially considering the price point! It's worth noting also that Dick has a lot of great "studio cats" for guitar, drums, bass, piano, organ, etc. who don't just 'fill in' other instrumentation as needed, but are truly masterful and make it sound amazing! One thing to be careful of is the scheduling. The studio can be busy, and weekends are booked far in advance! If you're like me and working a full time job where you can't take a lot of time off without advance notice, it may be worth setting out a recording schedule far in advance--as long as you have the drive to stick to it, so you're not wasting that precious studio time. All in all, a great experience.
