Id definitely recommend going anywhere belt here for your musical instrument needs.

My philosophy about parenting is that it all goes better if you're having your kids do things that are fun, rather than things that are not fun, so we wanted to find a fun piano teacher. I feel so fortunate that a friend recommended 1 2 3 Rock to us! Kyle has been studying piano with Johnny there for over eight years. He has become such a wonderful player, and he has loved every minute of his lessons. I have to say he wouldn't have kept it up for nearly as long if we were with a teacher who didn't have the playfulness and good "kid sense" that Johnny has.

West Valley Music Center is an excellent place for instrument rentals and lessons. Their…read moreinstructors are highly qualified and professional. I purchased two guitars from the center which were sent to me at my residence in NY. I dealt with Jeff, the owner, who could not be more helpful in helping me select exactly what I was looking for and more importantly exactly what I needed. Jeff, himself an accomplished and knowledgeable musician, takes great pride in the success of all of his students and goes out of his way to address any issues that may occur during the learning process. His rates are extremely competitive and as previously mentioned he will help you select not only the instrument that you want but more importantly the instrument that you need. Musical proficiency is an art that requires patience, practice and encouragement. At West Valley you get all of that and even more. Highly recommend

I rented a saxophone here for my son. We got a beat up old thing which I wasn't too happy about but…read moresince my son was just beginning, I thought it would be ok. Well after a few months things started just falling off the instrument and my son couldn't hit some of the notes because it was in such bad condition. Then a piece kept falling off so we finally took it in for repair. The owner, Jeff (I believe) took one look and started accusing my son of denting it and not taking care of it. He exclaimed that the instrument was like new and my son created all these new dents! I honestly couldn't believe how he was accusing my son, all arrogant and condescending. Telling my son how irresponsible he was! How would he know, Jeff wasn't the person that rented us the beat up old instrument in the first place. He never inspected it, and this instrument was a piece of crap when rented to us! Because I had the insurance, I paid the $50 deductible for the repair and they gave us another instrument. One that was in better condition (but not great). But my son still had trouble with it and he still couldn't hit some of the low notes. My son started to get discouraged and thought about switching instruments (to trumpet) because he thought he was a terrible saxophone player. My son told me all the other students had really nice saxophones rented from Nick Rails. So we decided to switch. When we turned in the crappy saxophone, Jeff then accused my son of denting this saxophone! The dent was there previously but Jeff refused to acknowledge that and insisted (quite rudely) that my son dented it. Then he exclaimed the sax was corroded! It was NOT. Can you believe this guy? He took my deposit for this and I was so sick of dealing with this rude, arrogant guy over the past several months I didn't bother arguing anymore. I'm so glad we took our business elsewhere. Nick Rails in Agoura Hills rents superior good quality instruments. My son is so happy with his new sax from Nick Rails. He can hit all the low notes, no problems at all. The issue wasn't my son's skills, it was those crappy instruments from West Valley Music Center!

I got tired of dealing with the worn ear cups of my Tascam TH07 headphones. They are started to…read moregive me physical ear fatigue. So I tried to contact Teac parts department to order a replacement set of ear cups. They never answered my emails. So I decided to buy a new pair of headphones while I hold on to my Tascam model. I saw the Warm Audio HeadRoom headphones onsale for 29% off. Best part about the headphones are there frequency response of 10Hz to 30kHz and their included extra set of interchangeable ear cups. Plus I called Warn Audio and asked them of you can purchase ear cups separately. They said yes and they are $20 a pair. Which means that this is a long term investment. As when the ear cups wear out, I can use the included extra pair or buy new ones from Warm Audio. The Warm Audio HeadRoom headphones come in black, tan, and orange. I had to have the orange pair. But no Guitar Center within my area had them in orange. I needed them right now. Saw this Guitar location with stock. Drove out there. Got the orange pair. They sound nice and flat. Weekend mixes came out great. Im sure any future mix will sound great as well. Also, this Guitar Center location had the 2026 generation Live Wire Advantage TRS to TRS cables in stock. I can always use a nice pair of TRS to TRS. So I grabbed a pair of those too.

But still so few quality basses for those of us who play regularly and have the means to purchase new gear when we have a desire for something else to play. I'm astounded by the lack of follow through by anyone in a position to facilitate change with this issue. I'm guessing there are a few hundred guitars hanging on the walls and less than 50 basses. What gives, GC??? You make it very easy to spend my money using one of the online merchants. But here's the thing, I'd rather spend my money locally and keep the locals working. Do better. No more lip service...I run a company, you so or you don't. There is no try... Guitar Center is failing bass players. If I could write a review giving only half a star, I would.
