Some but not all the staff have this rudeness to them. Not a very welcoming environment, because this is Albuquerque New Mexico your options in music instrument stores is very limited you only have two that have any inventory at all thats music go round and guitar center. I rather not spend my hard earned dollars there but sometimes you have no choice

I was visiting family in Albuquerque and stumbled on to Andy's Ukes online first, then with a phone…read morecall, Andy met me at his home shop. It is amazing and has such a great variety. He got me thinking about and playing different Ukes so I could see the differences. I've only been playing for a couple of years, and he was super friendly, encouraging, and I never felt any pressure to buy something there and now. He truly wants you to find what may be best for you. Meanwhile he did some great service on the one I brought, put some new strings on, adjusted the fret heights, and got it sounding a lot better. Thank you so much Andy and hopefully will be back soon.

Marco discussed with me how he would do this, and I showed him all the issues I would like to have corrected. He completed the work within the time frame he quoted and shipped the bow to my home in Durango CO. I am highly impressed with his craftmanship. The bow is now in like new condition and is a joy to play on each of my fine violins. I feel lucky to have entrusted my bow to Marco and highly recommend Robertson and Sons for any services a serious string player requires. David Adolphson, Sep 15, 2025

I stumbled upon Baum's music store 2 1/2 years ago. They have music instructors who provide private…read moreinstruction there. I decided to start flute lessons with one of their instructors. I go into this store once a week for my lesson. The store is stocked with all sorts of musical supplies, books, and instruments. The store is always clean and the staff and owner have always been nothing but friendly. There have been times where my instrument needed some adjustments, and Miles has been right on whatever issue I may be having. Over the last year, they've made some expansions, especially in the service department. I've even bought two instruments from them, and I've sold back one instrument. I'm even grateful for the few restrooms that they have. They are always clean. It's a great store!

Yes! The first review of a piano tuner on Yelp Albuquerque. I win…read more Surprising as it may seem, judging by his last name alone, Tim is neither Native American nor New Age hippie, but rather a sprightly, well-connected piano whisperer who drives yesteryear luxury vehicles. Apparently he has street cred, at least from the classically-trained lot, because he regularly performs handjobs for both small and large pianists. I'm really sorry about that. I just had to. I do apologize. Tim is a pro, it was obvious the moment he walked into our home at the scheduled time. After spending a moment remarking on the pristine condition of our 1960's era Yamaha, he got to work, and the performance was one to behold. Piano tuners- good ones, anyway- enjoy careers that largely no longer exist in our society. If only for an hour or two, they have the unique pleasure of getting acquainted with these extraordinary instruments in delightful fashion; Tim spends half of the time playing with the keys, often pounding out little ditties, and he's really talented. Slowly, while he works, you can actually hear the piano getting its voice back. It's a gorgeous ritual, and he gets to do this every single day. He's good. Very friendly and sweet. Need a tuneup? Call him.

Tim is the best. Very knowledgeable and loves what he does! He will listen to you and understand…read morewhat you care most about and he does an amazing job. So glad I found him!!

Was wonderful with my niece who was in a super-difficult phase of her childhood and I credit him with her continuing appreciation for really cool music. If I were to take piano lessons again as an adult, I'd definitely go to Mark because he has such a deep love and understanding of music, I think he'd know how to adapt his teaching methods to any level of ability and maturity, and he's just so smart.

Jay is a great instructor. I'm an older student and not necessarily the most gifted but I can tell…read morethat I'm improving with his help. I've had other music teachers and they can make you feel like a benighted orphan struggling for acceptance at the hands of an all-knowing master. How many times do you want to hear 'NO!'? Jay's not like that. Jay has the chops and he lets you learn in your own best way. I'm not super interested in learning lots of classic songs but I really dig learning about theory and song structures. He always fits the lesson to my interests in a way that is still challenging. I think music instruction is a really underappreciated skill and Jay deserves recognition for the way he helps us learners down the road. On a practical level I'll finish by saying that it's always a straightforward affair with regards to payment and scheduling. He's very professional in that regard as well.
