It is a story with a bad ending for the owner. Lovely store within a a great park space at Uptown…read morePlaza. I had a very teeny tiny issue with a $12 product - probably the least expensive item in this Upscale (trying to be Upscale) store. For some reason the cashier called the owner at her home to discuss what to do. WHAT TO DO !!! ???? She was impatient and offered no help - wanted my cc # or whatever for a very unique product . I left with no credit, no refund, ZIP ZILCH. How about "no worries lets get you something else" THE RESPONSE elicits how a customer feels, responds, and maybe reviews on platforms that have a big influence on diners, shoppers etc. The owner called me out on my review saying I was threatening yelling, and scaring the employees. I am 70 and injured with a smashed shoulder, four broken ribs and a brain bleed. The last time I yelled at any employee was probably 1980. And I am harmless - never did that. The owner is a FIRE STARTER and would do better with people if she was an Amazon Warehouse worker and not a front facing small business owner. This is a bad ending and the fire will burn because she is a fire starter. BAD ENDING FOR HER and the fire is going to burn.

Once we walked in, he explained that all of the items in the store are made and sold by local Arizona vendors. Most products are handmade, and you can find lots of specialty items that you won't see anywhere else -- which we thought was very nice. We were amazed by the variety of unique items, including candles, lotions, body butters, candies, spices, and much more. If you're looking for something one-of-a-kind or a great gift, this is definitely a store worth stopping by! Tip: If you work in the area, show your work badge to receive 10% off your purchase.

It has a variety of bones, wet specimens, taxidermy mounts, insects, plants and some misc. death and medical pieces. I would have liked to have seen more older death related Victorian pieces or photography, but I think the shop is geared more towards bones and insects. The people seemed nice and personable. It is a shop that I feel anyone could feel welcomed. Prices are steep in some areas, but I go to mostly look, so just keep that in mind. If you are in the area, or live nearby, it is a fun stop

The store is packed with any genre of sheet music and books (and TAB form) for every instrument you can imagine (banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, vocals, guitar, piano, brass instruments, woodwinds, etc all of them). They sell accessories such as guitar strings, tuners, straps, picks, music stands, and some acoustic guitars and banjos as well. Vinyl records and small musical gifts line the walls, it's so fun to explore and each time you visit you'll find something new, as there's so much selection. If there is something they don't have in stock, they will order it for you. The vibe is very relaxed and they are never pushy, you can look around for 30 min alone exploring if you want and just ask if you need anything. Love this place and can't recommend it enough, it's also a vintage store with history dating back to the 1950's so it has such cute charm and decor, it's an experience that online shopping can't give.

She's been playing it for 3 months with no issues and it doesn't go out of tune quickly like her cheap one. Billing is automatic and easy, with no mistakes. Such a great experience - we'll definitely be back when it's time to upgrade to the next one!
