This is my second visit to this store, and it's at one of my favorites in the country. The…read moreselection of guitars and fiddles is immense. Additionally, there are rare stringed instruments, mountain dulcimers, and some percussion instruments (bodhrans, bones, tambourines). Also, they have sheet music books and lots of accessories (slides, straps, pics, amps, etc). I had fun walking around playing things, including 4 dulcimers. The salesman and I talked shop. Awesome store!

Weird experience, today. I got lectured by two different people. They made a lot of assumptions,…read moreand proceeded to invalidate some of my asks. The funniest part was, they were wrong. I asked for a metal Low G string on the uke, and the salesmen proceeded to go off about how he would never put guitar string on a uke. The one he gave me was silver wound (metal)...oh the irony. I got what I want, but I thought, man if people don't know anything about music, I'm not certain, I would recommend the shop, They really start with trying to make people feel stupid,

I went in looking for a tele and was disappointed in the inventory and the shopping experience…read more They had very few guitars accessible and a few interesting guitars behind the counter. I asked to play a few teles and check out what they had out but nothing was well set up, then I couldn't find a cord or working amp. I went to ask for a cable but dude was gone so I looked at T shirts. The racist T shirt is enough to give this place a bad review, but they brag about it on their website and the owner brags here yelp about so I guess they are proudly racist? Anyway all of the guitars were a little overpriced and inconsistently set up, the stuff behind the counter was more overpriced (and there was no one there to help if I wanted to play something) and I didn't want to wait around just to further inconvenience dude by asking another question. Dude came back out just as I was leaving and I couldn't get out the door fast enough. I should add - if I had found a good tele for a reasonable price I would've bought it and tried to ignore the racist T-shirt. Yeah, I would give them one star because of the overt racism but it's really just not a very good guitar store. There are better options in STL with no politics involved, better prices, better variety, and better everything.

When you join, they will give you 2 CDs that has around 24 songs for the car. You can also down load the songs from their website or smartphone app. I find this very convenient and my little girl loves to hear her music wherever. The music selection is so unique and beautiful. The class is very interactive including: musical instrument, scarves, egg shakers, dancing, role playing and more. They have many locations. Classes full up fast. Parking is never an issue. Highly recommended.

Sing sing sing! This performance of center stage was performed by the opera and the STL Orchestra!…read moreI loved hearing all the different languages sung but the subtitles helped a lot to understand the message of the story. The event is a little too long with a 2 hour and 30 minute run with a 20 minute intermission plus an extra 20 minute free champagne toast afterwards. The crowd was mainly older patrons but the opera is always encouraging young people to attend and even have discounts. They do offer desserts, coffee, and alcohol purchases before the show and during intermission. If you want to join in the event prior to the show, have a light picnic dinner before the show starts. That portion is separate from your ticket and eaten outside under a tent at a picnic table. The venue is mainly accessible but those accessible seats go fast as they are oddly extremely limited. They will ask to hold your walker, rollator, and transport chair to save space in the auditorium. Best to bring a cane if possible.

I discovered Opera STL when I moved back to St. Louis in 2023, thanks to some friends who…read moregenerously invited me along on a spare ticket. I discovered the Young Friends nights in 2024, and after trying a couple out that season, bought 2 passes for 2025 and again this season (2026), with the intent of taking friends to their first operas, just as had been done for me. I know at least one friend got her mom to come to a performance after tagging along to a show with me this year, so I feel that my strategy is working! Of course, this is Opera STL's greatness and strategy, too. The Young Friends are an awesome deal (dinner and bar and 10 bucks off the ticket price if you bundle just two shows!!), but even if you only go to one regular show, they make the evening so special and fun. They put a ton of effort into their seasons (which are basically only the (packed) month of June!) and to bring great music, theatrical, and art to everyone, at any level of opera entry point. I can't wait for next year (and Young Friend brunches???)

I would, and often do, recommend Aaron for anyone considering taking guitar lessons.
