They rent instruments for school kids. They do service and repair. They have Jam Camps. And they don't chase you down as soon as you enter like a lot of guitar stores. Yikes. I think they also order some things for customers. You'll have to ask details on that. I have no specifics. The building is in Historic Downtown Hamilton. The building originally housed a Fitton and Brother store. The lower level was a saloon in the late nineteenth century.

Nobody answers their phone so I have to drive out to speak to someone. I was told to come in Saturday so I did. I packed up my drums and drove in with 2 kids under the age of 10.

I intend to contact the parent company to report how horrible my experience was.
