A solid business deal; ideal if they sell. Sad to let go but good things end too, just like us. Only drawback was the location, a trademark Tacoma style spot to this "northerner". The fact that St Helens Street splits by design was strange and unsettling. To the owner the location is prime property even next to the tavern dive next door. It works for him. No knocks, since parking was in front at no cost. Try that elsewhere! A great deal for guitar and band fans. Need more of these elsewhere in the vicinity.

The guys that were there were knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. I decided to sign up for guitar & piano lessons which I'm super excited to get started.

They also have children lessons, cater to schools in the area, and much more. If you're looking to do anything dealing with musical arts, repairs, or need to rent an instrument, give this place a try you 9/10 might find what you're looking for.

The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was apologetic and said that shipping used to be even worse ($16 for a piece of rubber that fits in an envelope?). If I'd found another source for this pad I would have used it - Warmoth is apparently like another company that gouges musicians for their cash. I am going to be building a P bass soon...but it won't have Warmoth parts. I'll find someone who cares about customers. (This purchase is important to me but $11 total price for a $2 part is POOR value.)

I'll update my rating because I realize I was a bit harsh with only 2*, and I do want to support…read moreharp stores, but it was the average of my 3 visits to this store, and if you read my old review I had a lot of positive things to say as well. Maybe things have been better for other people in recent years. I moved away and haven't been back, so I don't know. Please see previous review for more info. I agree with all the other reviewers about the (usually) friendly employees, great selection of music, harps, etc. Very generous with sharing knowledge, giving advice, etc. Another reviewer is telling me to "Get over it!," so to respond: Yes, all harpists know that strings can break for any reason, or no reason at all. Strings break just because they feel like it. Strings break when you look at them the wrong way. My complaint was that while strings from another store did not break with abnormal frequency, and the old strings on my harp were not breaking with abnormal frequency, the strings I bought from this store did nothing but break. Constantly. In different places on the string, so it wasn't due to a rough edge on the harp or anything. Maybe the strings were old, maybe they were stored in bad conditions, or maybe they were shipped from the manufacturer to the store defective. In the 5/6 years since, I've never had strings that bad, so who knows. If the store cared, they could've gotten back to me and never did, and if they had demonstrated good communication my review would've likely been 4 or 5*. $160 is a pretty penny to waste when you're 22 years-old and making minimum wage.
