Visiting from California and wanted to repair my brothers guitar while I was in town. The staff…read morewelcomed us joyfully as soon as we walked in and pointed us in the right direction. I had brought a set of tuner pegs to fix the guitar before I left but I, of course, did not buy the right ones. The friendly staff went over and above what I have come to expect from most retail stores, and in fact is what has prompted this review. There's some beautiful guitars that I made myself avoid, lest I have to ship it home. Do yourself a favor and stop in and check them out. Mom and Pop music shops are nowhere near as common out in my part of California. It's basically nothing but Guitar Centers out there. Do not let that happen in my home state please! Support your local music stores and especially support this store!

This is the place we were supposed to see drummer Gregg Bissonette hold his drum clinic at during…read moreour Nashville trip but fatalities on the freeways & a massive rainstorm didn't allow us to get there so we took a trip here on our last day in town. They have a vast selection of drums, drum kits, cymbals, pedals, drumsticks, drum bags, cajons, other percussion, guitars, banjos, keyboards, you name it, & even a room to play drums in & take lessons! Really good prices & value on the music equipment here & a very knowledgeable staff on hand to help you find what you seek. If they don't have it in stock, they can get it for you also. This is also where I found & bought my Yamaha snare drum & a drum bag from. I found an amazing snare at an awesome price!

Maybe it's a Murfreesboro thing, but everyone from the four staff members and fellow customers were friendly and considerate. It's a town with lots of Civil War history.

He took it for about 30 minutes and hooked me up to one of their acoustic amps and the problem was solved. The battery in it was dead for one but he also addressed something else that I didn't fully comprehend. 15 minutes later he came by, I said "you fixed it man! How much?" "Eh, don't worry about it." I'll be buying a new guitar from here someday and all of my strings and other guitar needs in the meantime! Trust, this place should be your go to.

Well, it'd be way too easy to rate any place that provides the opportunity to get free strings 5-stars. Instead, I want to discuss the broader vibes. Specifically, how no salesperson chose to take me seriously. I've been having a bad time lately. Do you know what fixes a bad time? A new guitar. I genuinely could've bought one of the PRS Custom 24s in the store but... sadly, no salesperson took me seriously. I wanted to support this store in some way, but I ultimately couldn't. One of the salespeople chose to ask another shopper who was near me if they had any questions. That person said no. Did the salesperson then pivot to me? Unfortunately, not. I walked out without buying any additional strings/picks or any chance of coming back later for one of the PRS Custom 24s. I genuinely wonder if looking more like the salespeople at these Nashville shops would result in me getting actual service.

My son really likes going to lessons and is learning SO MUCH! As everyone knows - right at the moment I'm writing this - we are not able to go to lessons due to the coronavirus. Paula immediately set up a FaceTime lesson for our son - we didn't miss a lesson! And she researched it and prepared for it, so that it was a successful lesson. She is putting a lot of work into finding answers for implementing virtual lessons, demonstrating her flexibility and professionalism. I definitely recommend Hendricks Music - both Paula and Glenn are lovely people, super talented, and highly professional. You will be happy with your lessons!

TL;DR: A great shop with an even better group of guys to assist music enthusiasts and people like…read moremyself who are just wanting to try something new! Yesterday I decided to check something else off my bucket list and set off to buy a mandolin. After doing a fair amount of research, I ended up at Mountain Music. (I live in Nashville now but did not feel like any of the shops around there would be welcoming of a newbie like myself, as most of their mando's started in figures that were WAY out of my budget). There I met Matt who took me aside and showed me every mandolin they had, even played each of them to let me hear the differences. We talked about body styles and strings. He hooked me up with a great deal on everything I needed to get me started, re-stringed and tuned my new instrument, and gave me recommendations on picks, tuners, etc. Which was great because I'm brand new to stringed instruments! All in all, these guys know how to bring in a beginner player like myself and keep me as a repeat customer. They have a fantastic return policy so even if I decide to go bigger and better, they'll accommodate! I definitely recommend checking these guys out.
