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!

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."

The blankets did not fit, returned on Monday, and the (comparatively) younger guy implied that my barn manager didn't know what she was doing, although she has a lifetime of experience. He also said he would hit my equine when I described behavior I would like to modify. I got strong alcoholic/wife beater vibes there. I had thought toxic masculinity was a myth, but I was wrong. Then during the return on Monday, the old guy started whining about how they were going to prosecute me if my check bounces. Class! I had been courteous, and I was appalled at his mouth. I had tried to pay with a card on Saturday, but their credit card reader was down I had offered to wait until it was fixed, but they declined and said pay by check. I I won't be back.

He is a true professional with an encyclopedic knowledge of the watch line and the patience to deal with slow shoppers like myself.

This family loves music and supporting the local community. In turn, they are a staple in the area for sure in terms of violin, cello, viola, etc. instruments.
