I did not know Laura very well at all. I met her the day Rush Limbaugh died. She was sitting behind…read moreher counter crying. We struck up a conversation about Rush and became great friends. I have not been able to visit her store in a long time but I saw online that she had unexpectedly passed away. I hope that is not true but if it is she will be missed. She is a great human being and luthier {self taught} and just a lovely person to get to know. She has done amazing things with the store which I am told had a very bad reputation. but she did wonders with the painting on the walls and all the eclectic homey touches she put in to the place. It is truly like stepping into another world, perhaps a trip into the past, or maybe the future but either way it is an experience!

Sometimes, you find places that surprise you. Big Hat Larry's is one of those places. This place…read morehas one groovy vibe, man. This is the kind of place you just want to kick back on the couch and just chill while talking with the owners about music, old vinyl, and guitars. I enrolled my daughter in guitar lessons there and she's loving it. They are patient with her, funny, and makes her feel great about her lessons, even when she misses a note (or a string, or a whole chord). I seem to have a problem just dropping my kid off there for lessons. I tend to hang around and browse through the thousands of classic vinyl albums that line one wall of the shop (adorned with dozens of guitars for sale hanging above). I usually end up leaving with one or two new gems to add to my record collection. Recently, I took in my old Telecaster to have it cleaned and repaired. (One of the pots had seized up and wasn't turning.) Laura repaired my guitar and cleaned and restored it to it's former beauty. In short, this place is great if you're looking for old vinyl, need lessons, a new guitar, or to give new life to an old guitar!

I've driven by this place so many times and never noticed it, since the sign for it is small and…read morekinda hidden. Birdsnest is actually located right upstairs from the Needlecraft Center on Main Street in Davidson. It seems weird, but you walk into the house and head upstairs to the second floor. The Birdsnest consists of a retail shop and a place to get some music lessons. There is a little room that is cluttered with tons of vinyl records, which is what drew us here in the first place. The prices were pretty good and the quality of the records was great. They also have a small selection of CDs and other music formats, but it's mainly about the records. There are other rooms upstairs that are dedicated to music lessons, both instrumental and vocal. Birdsnest is a pretty cool addition to downtown Davidson and worth checking out if you want some vinyl or want some professional assistance in becoming a rock god.

I've also decided to refresh my own rusty skills by taking voice lessons! The Learn Music teachers are not only very talented in their respective instruments, but kind and supportive as well. You can do any type of music, from classical to pop/rock or jazz. And their recitals aren't your standard strait-laced affairs - they are much more relaxed and friendly, even for beginners. Their kid rock bands are also pretty amazing! The owners, Adam and Rachel, make it as easy as possible for your kiddos to succeed - and they are both super nice. If you are looking for a music school for your kid or for yourself, look no further!

I usually have a good experience at this Guitar Center, but today left me in some doubt about their…read moreability to do business fairly. I came in to buy 2 D'Addario Humidipaks Maintain. They had a hard time finding them, but 9 were supposed to be in stock. Finally found 7, of which 5 had severely crushed boxes. Still full price! Should be marked down because of condition. I also wanted one set of NYXL 1046 electric guitar strings. Full price is $12.99 but the web site for Guitar Center listed them as on sale for $9.99. I asked the sales rep behind the check-out if they were on sale. When he said no, I told him the price on the store's web site. He checked it and I was correct. But he had to get the manager to verify and change the price. I told him that the advertised price was what he was obligated to charge. There were no restrictions at all listed. After he stepped away, another rep told me that only the Balanced Tension were on sale, and oops, they are out. He tried selling me up, but they were out of the Balanced Tension too. Finally the first rep came back and said that I was correct and the price for any NYXL strings was $9.99. He insisted on using his phone to ring this up and that was where the problem happened. So after he arrived at the total, I verified the price.."two Humidipaks for $25.99 each and one set of NYXL strings for $9.99?" He confirmed with, "That's right". On the way home I checked my receipt, and I saw that he charged me $11.99 for the strings plus tax. Too little for me to go back and get my money, but enough to really seriously aggravate me. My advice, check your receipt before leaving the store. And for this particular crew in the store today (12/11/2025) , take a class on customer service!!!
