So many people enjoying music and playing instruments. The selection of guitars and amps was off the hook. Drums, sheet music, accessories and everything in between. They even have areas for instrument repair and music lessons. Everyone seemed like they were happy and really enjoying being in the store. It's clearly a place people like to hang out. A social center of sorts. I liked the fact they had armed security in the parking lot and inside the front door. There simply can't be too much security these days. The parking lot was simple and wee maintained. The staff was friendly bordering on perky. Thumbs up for Guitar Center.

The drum selection from sets, cymbals (especially cymbals), sticks, etc are the best here. They also have an isolated drum room with a sick DW kit with a bunch of cymbals. Please be mindful of others though when playing the kit in there and don't be obnoxious/play for a long period non stop especially if others are clearly trying to play. The icing on the cake is Jacob who is super knowledgeable about all things drums and will make sure to take care of you. I would drive out of my way just to buy from him.

First of all, the theater itself is really pretty and I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Even the seats I thought would be blocked by the overhead lights become unblocked as the lights raised all the way to the ceiling at the beginning of the performance. During the intermissions you hang out in what I imagine should be called a great hall where you can drink sodas, beer, wine and water or have some snacks. I'm pretty sure they sell Fanta Orange, which equals Tiffany being a big fan. I love that stuff along with Welch's Grape. However, I drank wine since it was Friday and wine is like scissors over Fanta's paper. The actors rotate every other night and they come from schools across the country. Some of them had voices that made me think they should be on a very famously known stage in the opera world. Others were kind of hard to hear, but eh, they are students. Overall I really enjoyed it, but that may be because they have a translator screen above the stage that lets you know what they hell is going on when you can quite figure it out based on actions alone. **Disclosure: I am in no way a professional opera critic as this was the very first I've attended.

You can also see where the old pick guard was and when you lay the old pickguard on top of the new they are not the same size. First time I've came here and I came because of all of the reviews. I need to have tuners replaced. I won't have them do it. It cost $410. I also failed to mention that when they repaired the cracked bridge, they put in new pins and kept the originals. That is on me for not noticing and asking about them. I don't play and I inherited this guitar from an old friend who just passed away. They did leave me the old original pick guard. I am now going to have the guitar completely refurbished.

The weird part was that whenever I changed one of those strings, the new one would suddenly respond much more easily... and then the other one would start having the same issue. It kept switching back and forth and was driving me crazy. It turned out the bridge was crooked. My untrained eyes couldn't really tell so I didn't think that was the problem. Von carefully adjusted it and also shared some great stories from his years in the business, including working with Isaac Stern. That combination of skill and genuine care meant a lot. Really grateful. Prior to this, I also had my bows rehaired here and their pricing is fairly reasonable. If you're in the Denver area and need violin work done right, this is the place.

Derek at Von's saw the the post was too short, I needed a new bridge. I was hesitant. But the difference is night and day. Derek also repaired a crack under the tailpiece and a seam repair. I'm virtually playing a whole new violin. So very happy with the experience I need a rehair next, and to keep everything humidified properly so it remains a beautiful violin. What you don't know can hurt. Thanks You

I started my son Alexander who has a IEP in school and is on the spectrum (special needs) when he was 8years old playing ukelele. He since has continued playing uke and over the past 4 years has been taking lessons for piano to get ready for his next year marching band audition for Cherry Creek High School! He had held a A+in his middle school band all through 6th, 7th, and now 8th grade he's way ahead of his peers in so many areas of music. Fast forward to 2 years ago our oldest son wanted to audition and compete for first chair trumpet in his band class as a junior in high school at cherry creek high school. He felt he maxxed out with where he was at and needed that extra push and tutoring to acheive more. He asked me to sign him up for private trumpet lessons this past summer. Here we are in September of same year and after a summer of private lessons he auditioned and made FIRST CHAIR TRUMPET in his band class and for Cherry Creek Marching Band !!! (Did I mention CCHS ranked #1 for welcome week and in 5A tournament )!!! Wendy&Dale are the best ! All the instructors they hire are top notch and our invested in their students to succeed and not just in music but the why behind music , their self esteem, and technical skills that go along with it. I could t be more blessed to have found this school for my children. I have two other kids that will also play music this year. One more trumpet and one more piano or drums!!! This school has an amazing g new facility that they are in the process of moving into because they grew out of their old one ! They are so humble but I feel like if there is anyone out there that is looking for a true music school who will help their child learn music, love music appreciate music and embrace music this has to be the school they enroll in!!! Thank you CMI for all you have done and continue to do !! Congratulations on your award for National Music School of the Year!!!!!!!!
