A local treasure, and a fantastic community. The rock band boot camp classes are just so much fun…read more You get to live out your teen aspirations to play in your favorite band, whether you're a teen or middle-aged. An experienced musician teaches the group how to play the songs as a band from a classic album or band or niche genre, often as suggested by the community. And Beacon turns out to holler for the class's performance in a local bar and the bands dress up to the nines. My friends and I loved so many of these classes: Purple Rain, 90s Women Rock, Buddy Holly, London Calling. The teachers give great private lessons too. A homegrown gem of a music program.

What a great experience. We needed an entry-level instrument for our teenager that wouldn't break…read morethe bank but also wasn't junk. Eddie quickly came up with a few options, including the perfect solution -- a Luna with a richer, more robust sound than we thought possible at that price point. The guitar already had high-quality phosphor bronze strings on it, and Eddie made a good deal even sweeter by throwing in a brand new gig bag and capo. He was friendly and professional, and never made us feel awkward for being non-experts on a limited budget. And, he managed to be very attentive to us while also working one-on-one with a pupil who was learning a Hendrix lick. Give Eddie and his terrific shop your business -- you won't be sorry.

They are worth every penny. I paid $$200 to have my twenty year old Martin set up. They fixed the neck, took care of the frets and worked an unwanted bow out of the body. It plays like a new guitar. I'm bringing my bass here next. If you want things done right these are your guys. I have had too many disappointments over the years from so called professional repairmen. This is the first time I feel I got my money's worth!

We recently left 3 musical instruments at MeKeels Music Shop, for them to find a buyer…read more We did not get anything from them in writing which was our mistake. When we called to find out their progress we were told that he sold one of the instruments. We asked why he didn't call us he said I lost your number. He told us the amount he got for the instrument and we were shocked at how low it was. He never called and told us he had a buyer and the amount he was offered for it. When we called him, he was very indignant on the phone and hung up on us. We went to the store to get the money he had for the one instrument and pick up the other two. When we got there we were able to locate one of the instruments. Upon asking about the other he at first could not remember where it was. Then said oh ya I sold it. But didn't remember the amount or who he sold it to. He gave us what he thought he got for the two instruments. When I told him I was going to put something on Yelp he told me if I did he would come to my house. So remember get something in writing before you do business with MeKeels.
