When we first moved to Kentucky from California my daughter was excited because she was going to be…read moreable to take band. (Our CA school district had already cut out band, art, theater, etc.) Our first interaction with Mel Owen Music was to rent a flute for our daughters use with the option to purchase it at the end of the year. Daughter loved the flute and instrument was purchased at the end of the lease. Fast forward several years to High School Marching Band with that same flute. Somehow, whether it was sat on or warped when the intruments got soaked in a torential rain storm the flute had a slight bow in it. We took it to Mel Owens and they were able to straighten it, changed all the pads and serviced it as if it were a new instrument again. Fast forward again... Our daughter wanted a piccolo for her December birthday. We knew just where to go. Mel Owens of course! That piccolo was quite the hit and our daughter will always remember her birthday was kept separate from Christmas with such a special gift.

And considering the times, they do a really nice job with keeping everyone safe by offering curbside service only, keeping their distance, and giving a wet wipe to clean your hands and your merchandise to make sure you do not get sick. They also use hospital grade disinfectants on anything that they give you and may need back. I highly recommend this music store to any musician in need of instrument service or repair. In my opinion they are the best in town.

Located in the st Mathews area of Louisville guitar center is a massive store that sells as the…read morestore name suggest "guitars". My oldest was wanting a guitar of any sort for Christmas this last holiday season. My wife or me neither have a musical bone in our bodies and have never played an instrument. So we were kinda lost in the sauce on what to do here. We walked in and was greeted immediately. We explained our situation and got some advice on acoustic vs electric for forts time learners. After getting some great advice and help the worker showed us some recommended guitars that fell inside the budget range we gave him. We wanted to get her a nice guitar but didn't want to get the nicest just in case it was just a teenage faze and became a Giant paper weight. After looking at a few options we picked out a beatific looking acoustic guitar. The tremendous customer service continued after that as the worker gave us advice on getting her started with tuner apps, etc etc. mainly stuff that confused a music novice like me but it was appreciated either way. She loved her gift. We have slacked and drug our feet a bit as we haven't gotten her lessons yet. But we will soon. They actually offer lessons up there and have a huge studio on site for it. It seems like the pricing for the studio lessons is roughly about a $1 per minute. Overall cool experience that ended up being a cool and memorable Christmas present.

Plus, he's still friends with lots of his old SOR bandmates. We highly recommend becoming part of this program to gain opportunities you will not find anywhere else!
