I love music shops, and have visited -- and bought gear from -- many stores over the 50+ years I've…read morebeen a musician. The disturbing trend, of course, is the "music superstore," with a warehouse full of instruments sold in big-box fashion by refugees from Costco, who wouldn't know a trumpet from a trombone. Nazareth Music Store is a refreshing example of the stores I loved in my younger days: the people at this shop know the instruments they sell, and want to make sure you love the instrument you buy. And they're FAMILY. I called Dot on a Friday, to see if the shop had a specific guitar model xxx in stock. Without having to consult a computer inventory, she immediately said no, but she could get one in a day. She talked about what a nice model I had asked about, then asked if I had ever considered model yyy instead? Dot then discussed the subtle differences in tone, volume and materials between the two, and suggested that I stop by to try them out before deciding. I said thanks, and that I'd try to get there the following week. Something in the knowledgeable way she talked definitely made me want to stop by sooner rather than later. The following Monday I made the 90-minute drive to Nazareth. Dot was in the front, and actually RECOGNIZED MY VOICE. Holy cow. After some brief chit chat about my guitar experience and needs, Dot led me way back to the guitar room (this store is waaay bigger than it looks from the street). She had me put on an apron to protect the instrument, then handed me the model she liked. My second holy cow in less than 10 minutes: I loved her selection! SOLD! Dot and I talked about guitars for a few minutes, I added a humidifier and t-shirt to my guitar, then we meandered back to the cash register area for the bad news. GOOD NEWS: a really GREAT price! (Full disclosure - Dot had told me the price when I first called her the Friday before. But it's still a great price, and considerably less than another local store had quoted me) Since I had purchased a Martin guitar, and since Nazareth is the home of the world-famous Martin Guitar Factory, Dot had suggested that I make an appointment with them for a professional setup. When I arrived at Martin, the technicians asked me where I had purchased my guitar. I mentioned the name of the store, and one of them spoke glowingly about Dot's knowledge of guitars. So there you have it: I love the store, and so does at least one professional from Martin. And you will too (unless you actually like those box-box stores....)

Scott took a quick look and didn't see anything glaring besides a small missing cork, but said he'd examine it to be sure. We had a really nice conversation during the visit about everything from synthetic reeds to pianos and piano tuners, as both my husband and I had lots of questions (both being musical and having recently relocated to the Lehigh Valley). My clarinet was ready just a few days later, and when I picked it up, it was sparkling clean and had a new cork pad installed to replace the lost one. In addition, my mouthpiece had a mouthpiece saver applied (which i desperately need as i tend to bite way too hard) and a synthetic reed included for me to try. To my surprise, there was no charge for the service or any of the bonus items! What an all-around wonderful experience. I will definitely be back for all my accessories and repair needs going forward, and will highly recommend Nazareth Music Center to all my musical friends. Thank you so much!

PARENTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN, READ THIS. NOT SPECIAL NEEDS FRIENDLY. PARENT RECOMMENDATIONS…read moreARE INCLUDED. :-) I have a child with very mild special needs and excellent musical skills. This place swore they could accommodate him. Out of all their teachers and locations they only had one that they say teaches special needs (Nick, that one teacher, was excellent by the way), who we had to drive 40 minutes to have lessons with him. There is a location 3 blocks from my home, so this was not at all preferred. The director (wife of the owner) pushed for us to sign up for a very pricey summer camp, swearing my son would be accommodated and able to participate. The camp aim was to perform at Musikfest. There was no accommodation, and they encouraged him to just wander around or do something else instead of learn his songs. Two of the teachers said outright that they felt he shouldn't be with other kids who were normal. Yes, they said it, about a child who is in regular education all day and has a slew of "normal" friends. On the third day I was told they were kicking him out because they felt he also was incapable of playing at Musikfest. They also tried telling me he tried to take off his clothes (which upset him terribly) saying, "Mom, I would not do that. Why did they say that?" They shamed him and made him cry. When I protested their treatment of him and wanted to be refunded for the 2 week camp, the director, Lori, called me crazy, among other things, and informed me that my son was not welcome at his regular lessons either. Again attacking a child for no reason. He did not want to play drums anymore, that's the effect The Lesson Center owner and director had on him. I was told by other parents and teachers there that the director often curses, name calls and behaves poorly, so there's that too. Who needs that in their or their kids's lives. Life's too short. I called around and found The Community Music School in Allentown and we've never looked back. His teacher adores him, saw how advanced and talented he already was coming to them...and guess what, he played at Musikfest this summer, in a band, and rocked it.. A pretty complicated ska song too (if you know what it is, you know the drum beat is an off beat and difficult). No one at Community Music School ever thought or treated him like a problem or incapable. Another place I recommend is Saucon Valley Music in Hellertown. They are amazing there too. My son took some lessons there too in the interim.

He didn't seem interested in anything I had to say about the condition of the guitar...I was deemed guilty of neglect. Although I am not an instrument repair person, I have been playing for over 40 years and know a bit about the care of instruments. He gave me three different repair scenarios ranging from extremely minor to ripping out the frets, re-planing the fretboard and of course a re-fret. But I was also told that he is not taking on any new work at the moment (fair enough). I immediately upon leaving took the guitar to a guitar builder in Reigelsville Pa. and was told that a $40.00 fret dress to allieve the sharp fret edges was all that was required. No neck issues. Plain and simple, I did not feel very welcome at Mike's store.
