I called Town Center Music once to discuss repairing a guitar pedal. They told me that they…read morecouldn't do it, but they gave me a referral to a place that can. The person who I spoke with was friendly enough to have a short conversation about how truly unlucky it is to have a Klon pedal die on you. I remember I got weird techno-babble and serious condescension from the Guitar Center employee at North Point when I asked the same question. I've since returned to Town Center Music to get a setup on my acoustic guitar and some strings. Note that, like ANY music shop out there, there's likely going to be a long turn-around time. It never hurts to ask if you need an "emergency setup," but do understand that, unless you are Cliff Burton back from the dead, you aren't special, and they're doing nothing wrong by turning you down. Selection of pedals is above average. Guitars and amp selection is roughly average. I didn't see anything that particularly interested me, but Town Center Music is on top of my list for any guitar-related needs.

Our family has been using them for 4 years for all things guitar and highly recommend them for your music needs.

Wonderful to reconnect with the owner, Jeanne Carere. I was trying to give flute lessons to my…read moresister as a birthday gift. Reconnecting with Jeanne Carere was perfect as she is one of the best flute teachers and performers in Atlanta. She and her staff provided great advice on choosing an instrument and setting up the lessons and buying a book for beginners. Her location is perfect for easy access to taking the lessons. I left very happy that this will be a nice gift for my sister. I plan to return soon to buy some other music and supplies that I need for my instrument.

Carere Music has a very comfortable, welcoming vibe! I could tell right away that these people are…read moregenuine and honest. Jeanne, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, obviously loves what she is doing, and is continuing the tradition of excellent service started by her family decades ago. As a second generation music store owner myself, one of the things I like to do when I'm traveling is look up small, local music stores and pay them a visit so I can see how they operate. In my short time hanging out at Carere Music, I witnessed Jeanne demonstrate her great knowledge of the music business and deal with all sorts of situations with the utmost professionalism: selling and renting good quality musical instruments to eager students, young and old; taking in musical instruments for repairs; helping people find new owners for their musical instruments by selling them on consignment; teaching flute students of all ages, improving their playing on a daily basis. Jeanne obviously has a passion for teaching! After hearing Jeanne's incredible flute sound and impeccable sense of pitch on the piccolo it's no wonder she's first call for all sorts of high level concerts all over the Southeast. My mother played the flute/piccolo chair in the North Carolina Symphony, so I know a world class player when I hear one. Every flute and piccolo player in the Atlanta area should be taking lessons with Jeanne! Jeanne, her staff, teachers, and repair people are all professional musicians with a great love for music and are deeply engrossed in the local music scene. The repairman really knows his stuff and works so efficiently he has the fastest turnaround time in the area! Everyone was super friendly and giving of their time. One if the sax teachers took his horn out and played a few tunes with me. He was able to tell me where all the jazz jam sessions take place and give insights on what goes on at each one. I will definitely be back to Carere Music any time I'm visiting or traveling through the Atlanta area!
