Don Lazar is very reasonably priced for all musical needs. I purchased a used flute for my…read moredaughter two Christmas ago and it was very reasonably priced ( cheaper than any other music stores in the Canton and North Canton areas) for a ready to play instrument. One competitor want twice as much for a used flute plus it needed minor repairs that was not included in the purchase price. About three months ago my daughter had bent her keys somehow. I took the flute back to Mr. Lazar and he asked me to give him one hour to fix the instrument. I thought it was going to cost me over 100.00. I went back to pick up my daughters flute and the repair only cost me 40.00. I would recommended if you want very good quality used instruments please see Don Lazar Music.

I mean, come on! With so few music stores around, especially music stores that don't deal with…read moreanything other than school band service, A Max is simply tremendous! The selection is great, and they're expanding. The customer service is beyond anything you see anywhere else today. I was just stunned at how good they were as soon as I walked through the door! I'll also add that they will cater to almost any kind of musician, at any age, for any purpose! You just don't see that anymore! I highly recommend making the drive if you're a tad outside the area. Keep in mind, it's a small business and, if they're busy, it might be a second or two until they get to you but, believe me, they know you're there and can't wait to actually talk to you! Keep doing it A Max! You're the old school music store we need back in all our neighborhoods!

If you want to chase your' dream of playing an instrument, look no further than Minerva Music. I'm a74 year old retiree that wished I had been in a garage band when I was young.

This shop is much closer to home than our previous rental company and the instrument costs less per month to rent, even with the insurance coverage. The rental process was fast, we received a quality trumpet that was in excellent condition, and it also came with a nice case and a cleaning kit. The policy is rent-to-own, so if we decide to buy the trumpet later, we'll be able to do so at a lower price. Recommend for instrument rentals!

Just a fantastic experience!…read more Restrung a new Dean for me - the factory strings were not what I am used to playing. Craftsmanship is fantastic with multiple checks and equipment to ensure proper tuning. I did not have a hard case so he was kind enough to restring it for me while I waited. Tom is a really cool and knowledgeable guy to talk to - and has some really awesome gear to look at while he works. He works out of his house, and has a small basement studio repair shop. Fair prices. Attention to detail. Quality work, and very meticulously careful with your instrument. What else can you ask for? Anyone in Akron should check him out!

Nearly every inch of floor has drums, amps, cabs, amps on top of cabs, cabs on top of OTHER cabs. I had only been in the store about ninety seconds when I overhear a guy nearly buying a Kay Speed Demon guitar. Now just having one to look at is pretty great, but this one was also for sale. You could, given a couple hundred, just walk out with that baby and be cutting a demo before dark. (They really respect the mongrel, here, by which I mean the instrument as well as the customer. Dan "Loving Ohio From a Distance" Auerbach used to wander around the shop hoping to get noticed... I mean "shopping." Yeah, shopping. He's one of those snobbishly anti-snobbery guitar guys, who fetishize the crappy guitars their blues gods played, while playing them through a quarter million dollars worth of effects and electronics.) But enough about success. Found a vintage Fender volume/tone pedal. Well, that just had to go home with me. Bought a couple other things. Time was, there was a great shop like this every ten blocks or so in every city in Uh Murh Cuh Now? "Bro! Just buy that on-line." Right. Buy a guitar, without playing it? Buy an amp, without hearing it? Good luck with that plan, Mr. Malmsteen. They do consignments, too, which is a great way to either upgrade or downgrade your studio, bandroom or man cavity. These guys deserve your business. They sure helped me, and I'll bet they will help you. While we were there, I overheard a drummer, tired from being ridiculed by other musicians, decide to change instruments. Guy goes up to the sales counter and says, "I'll take that red trumpet over there, and that accordion." After a second, the store clerk says ,"OK, you can have the fire extinguisher but the radiator stays."
