My child became a much better violinist under the instruction of Miss Amanda. She patiently answered his questions. The recital was well done. I appreciated that she said she didn't have time to work with students who didn't practice. To improve your musical skills, you need to practice your instrument. A challenge of Music & Arts is rescheduling lessons. read more

Larry's Music & Sound - Playing the violin at the recital. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I received my order as described, on time, for an excellent price. Highly recommended.

Great place, it's what a music store should be. They are personal, attentive, helpful and thankful that you came in. For me, it's very much worth the drive. read more

These guys are the friendliest people. Larry is on the go, Nick usually runs the store and Scott does repairs and system installations. I have to say where most guitar shops should sell what they have at scratch and dent prices due to people coming in just to jam freely with guitars at reach. Larry has his guitars mounted mostly out of reach and if you are serious he has the instrument. By the way these guys install churches and other music events. You may pay a little more but what you get is new unless you choose resale item. read more

A nice little music shop owned by Larry himself in the tiny town of Hickory NC. It is right in downtown in the strip mall towards one end. A smallish shop but has quality items. A decent assortment of electric guitars and basses, keyboards, speakers, mixers, acoustic guitars, banjos, travel sized acoustics, classical guitars, acoustic and electric drumsets. An abundance of accessories as well. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. They let me hang out and try out the different instruments. I was very impressed with the overall friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and Larry. I ended up trying out a very nicely made classical guitar and in fact, bought it that same day. I have no complaints about this business. I would only increase the selection of instruments. Of course, this is a small business, not a Guitar Center so I should not expect a warehouse of instruments. The employees are great here. Support the local music scene. 4.25 stars. read more

I was visiting Hickory, N.C. and came across this little gem. I stopped in to purchase a ukulele. The staff was great and very friendly. It's great to support a local music store. read more

Larry's is my go-to place for any of my music needs. No, they don't have the same selection as a large store like Guitar Center, but I would choose the service here any day. Plus, he can order almost anything you need at a great price. Larry is very knowledgeable and helpful, and is willing to help you find what you actually want/need rather than just make a sale. The guitar tech, Scott Fox, is world class; he does some of the best work I've ever seen. His setups are far above even those that I've had done by a large store in Chicago. The repairman, Scott Gragg, also does excellent work, and is very knowledgeable and helpful. They've also done sound installation at my church...a high quality system at a great price. Nothing we didn't need/want, and well designed. Their live sound production at Hickory's Oktoberfest is top-notch as well. read more

I was extremely pleased with the service and the knowledge of the staff. They go the extra mile to make sure you are getting what you want. Looked for a hard to find keyboard for a week before finding this hidden gem of a store. Very wide selection of most instruments and found all I needed at Larry's. My first go to when it comes to music now. Well worth the time. read more

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Great prices and selection of musical gear, and pro sound equipment. Larry made me feel right at home. Derek is an excellent guitar teacher, and musician. Great with kids, and adults. Found just what I was looking for. Highly recommended. This should be your first stop for pro line instruments, and sound gear. Great store. read more
