But they had a cymbal pack at a price we couldn't refuse. A professional pack of pure Zildjian quality for an early birthday present for the favorite human in my life!

My former guitar luthier retired and I had to find a new one. I recently had two vintage guitars…read morethat needed work. I took them to two separate shops in Kansas City so I could compare. I took my '83 Fender Telecaster to Heritage. I was having it customized with new pickups and hardware. They have a guitar tech that comes in 3 days a week. He had a long wait list so the wait took a while, three weeks to be exact. Once he got to my guitar he was done in a day. He did a great job. The wait was rewarded. Communication was great. He kept me informed of each step and was accurate for time frames. When I came to pick it up it was beautiful and played great. His set up was excellent and exactly as I had requested. No frills, old fashion music shop. Reminds me of the kind downtown when I was a kid. Tight little space packed with instruments and smelling of oil and wood. When you're having your guitar worked on you want someone you can trust. Reliability and fair prices. Prices were fair. You want someone that does what you ask because you're the one playing it. I worry about my guitars. I want them back in no worse shape than I left them. I can trust Heritage music and their excellent guitar tech. I wouldn't hesitate to take my guitar back here for work.

We were pleasantly surprised when we found Heritage! My son needed his trombone unstuck and they…read moregladly did that for us plus lots of other things like polishing, fixing a couple of missing pieces etc for no extra charge. Brian was fast, educated and friendly! We will definitely be back.

Didn't know this place existed!…read more Stopped in on a lark and bought three LPs right off the bat. This place is a dream. It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!

I am so pleased with the great piano teacher match through Shining Light Music. When I called to…read moreinquire about teachers, I communicated that our requirements are stringent: my son is 6 yrs old, and while he likes piano, he doesn't looove piano, so the lessons have to be fun and engaging to encourage his progress. He's had 1.5 years piano instruction, and he doesn't respond well to some of the "too basic" piano book courses we had temporarily explored with a couple past teachers, so it's a challenge to level him up with material and technique that is age appropriate and fun enough but not too basic, nor too complex. And we had limited time availabilty as our schedules are maxed... It's such a blessing that the receptionist recommended Ms. Emily Shelp! Ms. Emily is well qualified; she possesses a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Bob Jones University and has been playing since she was 7 yrs old. Her bio is coming soon to the Shining Light Music teacher page. Best of all, she strikes the right notes - I couldn't resist the pun! - in working on my son's technique and making it fun. She motivates him with weekly fun point-competitions (to earn country stickers in his passport, medals, trophy, etc.) which has resulted in him reminding me that he has to memorize a song for the next lesson..cuz he wants the points! (whoo hoo, he's no longer resistant to practicing!!!!) I feel that she is the right piano teacher for his current level and needs; she employs a cheerful and focused Kindergarten/First Grade encouraging teaching style to keep all the lessons fun and on track, she's able to motivate and consistently award with positive reinforcement, able to redirect him when he gets silly (after all he's been in school all day, then straight to his lesson!) and I appreciate how she is able to teach finer technique in a way that he understands. She would be great for both beginner and advanced students.

We used Jukeboxx Media for our wedding after receiving a recommendation from our venue coordinator…read more We were married at Studio Dan Meiners in Kansas City, and everything else was so on point with them that we took their suggestion to hire JM and ran with it. We originally wanted a string trio for more traditional wedding music, and planned to switch to a DJ after the ceremony. We had a phone consultation with Chris about what kind of music we wanted, and he accommodated us for a late night phone call (despite being a dad with two young kids!) which we really appreciated. My (now) husband and I went over our style of music which was Jazz/R&B and Chris ended up adjusting our day-of trio to a jazz trio, to better fit our music taste. Chris/JM allowed us to request two...uh... *interesting* choices for our processional/recessional. We said "....how do you feel about Outkast 'Prototype' for the processional and a Talking Heads song for the recessional?" and his response was "Awesome." What a weird request - so grateful for Chris for making our choice a reality. Day of, the trio was on time and well dressed. The songs turned out BEAUTIFUL and I had chills walking down the aisle to two incredible songs that meant a lot to me and my dude. The rest of their two hour period was Jazz/R&B style and our guests LOVED it. Lots and lots of compliments on having something a little different and really high end for the ceremony/cocktail hour. We would recommend them again in heartbeat. We spent more on desserts than we did on our trio and we wish we had paid them for longer! Hire them!
