Jenny in particular was a treat to work with -- she shares my love of musical theater and was very open to any style of music I wanted to pursue.

Minus a star for lack of parking and the rotted wood that is a tripping hazard when you enter the door from the parking lot. I know it's a converted house but that should be removed already.

This review is not about lessons but about their repair services:…read more Took my sons guitar in for a restringing on a Saturday. I was called the following day and Notified that the guitar restringing was Completed but that the neck needed adjustment & the repair person for that isn't there but would "probably" be in on Monday and someone would call me back. From Monday to Thursday I called daily to get an update on when the guitar would be ready and each time I got a different person and had to explain the situation to each of them and each time I was told I'd get a call back with a date it would be complete. On Thursday afternoon, I went into the store and asked for my sons guitar back as it still had not been repaired. I then drove directly to Axes Music in Mokena where the owner, Bill greeted me as I walked through the door. He inspected the guitar, took it in back and within 10 mins, completed the adjustment. He also commented on the "odd" restring job that was done at House of Music. I gave two stars instead of one because everyone I talked to at House Of Music was considerate, it was the last persons suggestion that I just come and get the guitar as he admittedly had no idea when it would get repaired after texting with a "manager" about it.

In May 2024, I brought my silver flute to Evolution Music to be sold through their consignment…read moreprogram. Jon Teeter, the staff member assisting me at the time, took the instrument for sale. Since then, I haven't received any communication--it's now nearly a year later. I've sent multiple follow-up emails over the past several months with no response. Today, I decided to call in hopes of finally getting an update. Instead, I was routed to a virtual assistant that was so lifelike, I initially thought I was speaking to an actual person. No one from the store has returned my call. I left my flute with this business a year ago, followed up twice via email, and now I've been left in the dark yet again. This level of unresponsiveness is completely unprofessional. What happened to real customer service? It's incredibly disappointing. Companies like this only seem to respond when public complaints surface--which is telling. Shame on Evolution Music.

You didn't just lose a customer. You bought this review…read more I was a good customer. When I brought in my Number Two Stratocaster, I told Mike that there was a little buzzing at a couple places. I thought the truss rod needed a slight adjustment, nothing more. But Mike disagreed and said the guitar needed fret work. When I got the guitar back, it was fretting out, a problem that didn't exist before Jerry had aggressively removed material from the frets. Jerry admitted that he had done so, and apologized profusely over the phone, and told me to bring the instrument back. When I returned with the guitar, instead of being treated well, Jerry was quite elevated, aggravated and got loud. As though he was speaking to someone whom he might bully, instead of someone who has been playing guitar for 60 years, he ineptly attempted to prove he'd done nothing wrong, when he should have offered to do whatever it would take to make it right. That's what a gentleman and good business person would do. I do not care how long Mike says he's been in business. That is not the point. Jerry plugged in the guitar to a Line 6 amp with all the effects going, and hit the guitar hard to prove it was really okay. I know better, and showed him how the guitar was fretting out, and now it wouldn't even sustain a single plucked note at the tenth fret. Then, Jerry added insult to injury. He said these "deeply radiused" fretboards always fret out when you stretch the strings. NOT TRUE. I have owned many 9.5 inch radiused Stratocasters and NOT ONE of them ever had that issue... EVER. Then, Jerry got angrier, pulled the plug on the amp, and told me he was refunding my money. Here's the kicker: I brought the guitar downtown to a reputable shop and guess what? They made some adjustments, filed the nut slots a little, checked the action and intonation, AND adjusted the truss rod! That's exactly where I thought the problem was. No one can put back the fret material Jerry filed off. It probably took a year of life off my frets, which means an expensive fret job is that much sooner. But the guys at Players Guitars were wrong with their work... and wrong with their bad treatment. There are much better options than Players, but their name should warn you. Their work is hit or miss. And when they miss, don't be surprised if they try to play you. If you love your instrument and deserve respect, go elsewhere...
