Amazing Service from Charlie at Music Shack (June 23, 2025)…read more On Monday, June 23, 2025, I stopped by the Music Shack in Longwood--unaware they were closed. As I was getting ready to leave, Charlie kindly opened the door and informed me that the store wasn't open on Mondays, but offered his assistance nonetheless. I explained that I needed clarification about my instrument rental agreement. Charlie was incredibly professional, courteous, and genuinely caring. He went above and beyond my expectations--not only did he thoroughly explain the details, but he also took the initiative to call the rental company directly to obtain the accurate information I needed. I even offered to come back on another day, but Charlie insisted on helping me right then and there. It's clear that Music Shack truly values their customers, and Charlie is a shining example of excellent service. Thank you, Charlie, for your outstanding dedication--this is the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back!

The shop is clean, well organized, and has a great selection of instruments and accessories. Greyson was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. As an experienced guitarist, he took the time to answer all my questions, offered excellent advice, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Whether you're looking for a quality instrument, guitar lessons, or expert guidance, I highly recommend R&R Guitars. Thank you, Greyson, for your outstanding customer service!

I took my favorite acoustic guitar in primarily because I had worn out the frets over the past 20…read moreyears. RJ described in great detail how he would remove and replace the old frets. I was also having some issues with the electronics, and he offered some good options for replacing them. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. When I picked up the guitar after all of that work (new frets, pickup, pre-amp, and set-up), RJ spent more than an hour with me making sure the set-up was just the way I wanted. He told me to play it hard for a couple of weeks and come back if there were any issues. Make sure you read the website and understand the process for working with them. This is not a big corporation with a back room full of amateur guitar techs. This is a small business with legit luthiers who do fantastic work.

We just happened to be in the area and noticed this Music store, so I had to stop in and check them…read moreout. The young lady working here was very friendly and welcoming, she even assisted with helping locate what I was looking for. They have a good variety of instruments and accessories of most well known brands. -Instruments available: Guitars, Basses, Clarinets, Obos flutes, recorders, electric keyboards, French horns, trumpets, bongos and more. Accessories: Plenty of replacement string varieties, picks, capos, instrument and sheet music stands, reeds, tuners, effects pedals, instrument and speaker cables and so much more. They also have a great selection of music books here for all the instruments I just mentioned. The book selection is heavy in progressive learning (which is a plus for the learning musician) some notable publishers are Alfred Schirmer, and Faber. I found a great selection of advanced books like Chopin's Ballads, Bachs Well Tempered Claviar, and Beethoven's Sonata's. In my opinion there are not enough Rock, Classic Rock, or Metal Books- I only found one Journey book for Piano/Guitar and the 50 best rock songs book which didn't have the 50 best as far as I'm concerned. Some Jazz and Blues and a lot of Modern Pop like Taylor Swift and such. The store was very clean and organized The only area that could use a little more organization is the book shelves. Regardless, I ended up finding one in the mix. I picked out an into to Debussys piano music ($12+) which also comes with a real CD inside. For whatever reason, you can't find these books online with the CD included anymore, just a link to a site with MP3 files. I prefer having the CD so, I really appreciate that this store carries these books, I will be back for more. Their staff perform instrument repair services, and provide music lessons as well. The store is currently offering a discount where if you buy four guitar lessons you get a free guitar with the course (learner acoustic); I'm not sure of the price, but if it's in $150-$200 range that's not bad. It's hard to find a half decent guitar for that nowadays. All-in-all, great music shop right here in Sanford, I love supporting local, so we will be back.

I'm honestly not sure I can put into words how nice of an experience I had here. I was in the…read moremarket for a new violin and thought I'd give Cornell a try since I hadn't seen any negative reviews. I called to make my appointment, which I originally thought I'd have to do on the weekend since all other string stores are closed by the time I'm off work, and Molly was happy to give me some time on a Thursday night. I think I was there till a little after 8 and at no point did I feel rushed. When I arrived she had a select few violins ready for me to try for my level. In our initial phone call I hadn't given too much information about my skill but her selections for me were 100% what I needed. From reviews at other shops I thought I was going to be pressured into buying something expensive that I didn't need. That was absolutely not the case here. The selections she showed me were all in my price range and she answered any questions I had to make sure I chose the perfect instrument. I'll definitely be coming back.

This place is poppin' on the weekends so I would suggest a weekday visit to get more one on one attention if you need it. Just coming here to browse and be around musicians makes me happy. There is just something about walking into a place vs shopping online. Love it here!
