    When we first moved to Kentucky from California my daughter was excited because she was going to be…read moreable to take band. (Our CA school district had already cut out band, art, theater, etc.) Our first interaction with Mel Owen Music was to rent a flute for our daughters use with the option to purchase it at the end of the year. Daughter loved the flute and instrument was purchased at the end of the lease. Fast forward several years to High School Marching Band with that same flute. Somehow, whether it was sat on or warped when the intruments got soaked in a torential rain storm the flute had a slight bow in it. We took it to Mel Owens and they were able to straighten it, changed all the pads and serviced it as if it were a new instrument again. Fast forward again... Our daughter wanted a piccolo for her December birthday. We knew just where to go. Mel Owens of course! That piccolo was quite the hit and our daughter will always remember her birthday was kept separate from Christmas with such a special gift.

And considering the times, they do a really nice job with keeping everyone safe by offering curbside service only, keeping their distance, and giving a wet wipe to clean your hands and your merchandise to make sure you do not get sick. They also use hospital grade disinfectants on anything that they give you and may need back. I highly recommend this music store to any musician in need of instrument service or repair. In my opinion they are the best in town.

    I came in with a parlor guitar to trade and walked out with some great value. The staff felt like a…read morefamily and were knowledgeable, friendly and patient -- I worked with Bobby and Xander -- and the store is beautiful and large and it seems like they are choosing high-quality stuff so you probably can't go wrong with much in this place. Out front, they have string instruments, guitars, and mangoes and stuff and then in the back they have a huge room, devoted to drumming. There's lots of cables and parts and pieces, they have cases, some keyboards, they have high-quality cables and a few woodwinds. And they have a lot of books for learning. They have a lot of Yamaha stuff here. I took my time on a Friday morning and enjoyed playing a few instruments in one of their little practice rooms. Lots of kids coming in for rock 'n' roll lessons. Parking out front is easy.

    Mom knows the best!…read more So shall we go to the source, Moms Music here in Louisville Kentucky is a "must see," for music lovers. Are you a drummer? If you are or are trying to be? Look no further. They have a cool here especially for the drummer and the basics of how too? You can come in and get all sorts of different styles of how to play? For not a lot of your dough! Now how about those other things that we can use to make up the band! The guitar selection is overwhelming. If you feel the need to play and strum that guitar they can arrange that. How about just coming in to jam and listen. You can record here. Change your star and be the rock star that you want to be.

    Do not go here. Customer service is awful. Drove 45 minutes to sell and buy a guitar. Aiden Gardner…read morestore manager 30 minutes before store closes says we don't have enough time to help you. Store manager not capable of understanding customer service. This is the third time I've experienced arrogant and extremely poor service at this store. I strongly recommended not visiting here. Go to Lexington or Northern Ky. They even say Louisville guitar center is awful customer service. As a ceo of a company. I would have fired the guy managing the store in second. Store was empty. 1500 transaction and he doesn't have enough time. Sad!

    I've taken several lessons for guitar and voice. Guitar…read moreuses a work booklet and goes through a course. I understand building fundamentals but I wish the lessons were tailored to what I would like to learn. The teachers are all degree holders but that doesn't mean that they are great teachers. I took lessons with 3 different guys and they were all "meh, not inspiring." With all of them you could tell that they are not paid very well and just wanted to get to the next person and done with their day. That's not my fault because GC lessons aren't cheap. Vocal lessons were really horrible. Again all the teachers have degrees some with masters.The problem is that they are all classically trained. I don't want to sing choir or music theater. I want to sing Rock and Pop. I want to sound like Freddy Mercury or Jeff Buckley not Clay Aiken or Josh Groban. The teacher said "oh you sound like the american idol guy Kris Allen, sing this song falling slowly and i'll critique you " that's cool but I don't really like that song. So the next hour was spent working on falling slowing and him telling me to use different vowel sounds on words. Once again that's great but it was only specific to that song and genre. I know they are educated and know what they are talking about. I am not against technique. It would of been helpful if that would teach me the classical way to sing something then the stylistic way to sing it but I don't see any of these guys singing like Chris Cornell. The only thing I could see the voice lessons good for is if you have a song you know or have written and want help to perfect it they could help. Other than that waste of money and time.
