    Great service John has helped me with everything I needed everytime I go in. It's worth it to stop in and say hi.

    This place is honestly a gem. The selection that they had here were absolute top quality…read moreinstruments, I went with a Breedlove guitar and have taken care of it ever since I left this establishment. The owners of this shop are absolutely mint people, their hospitality and helpfulness made me feel at home really, also if I'm not mistaken they have a dog that's around the shop so that's how I knew these people were people I could trust. Anyways definitely go here for your instruments and they do professional maintenance on instruments. I plan on coming back sometime in the near future.

    I don't know, maybe I caught them on a bad day? Mike was…read morevery condescending in regards to a potential repair (guitar) that I brought in. 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.

    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....)

    Nazareth Music Center is in a class by itself. I brought my clarinet in to be serviced at the end…read moreof last week, as I struggled to play in a recent performance and wasn't sure what was going on with my instrument. 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!
