Very simple review…read more Came in to look for a new guitar amp as I had previously owned a really cheap amplifier. Came into the store with no one greeting me- seemed like no one noticed me at all.. even though two of the staff gave me direct eye contact. I say good morning to them first, and at least they say it back. But that's it. No other form of customer service or asking me if I need help finding anything. The place and the whole vibe in general was very uninviting to people that are newbies to guitars- very overwhelming.

The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. They promptly researched the answers to specific questions…read moreI had regarding the bass guitar I wanted to purchase and explained things clearly. They set up the bass superbly, and kindly lowered the action as far as possible as per my request. Guitar Center had told me they only had this particular model of bass in two of their store locations in the entire US, so the fact that Music Store Live had it is a testament to their expansive inventory (and good taste, imho). The bass was set up and shipped in one day and arrived at my doorstep the next! Very quick! I could not have asked for better service!

Took the time to help with a minor request. Very polite and helpful. Good place to check out.read more

Walking into a guitar shop can feel a little intimidating when you don't know much about guitars, but Jack was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He made everything easy to understand and helped us find the perfect guitar. I highly recommend Jack and Mark's Guitar Exchange!

I came in today to replace my violin chinrest, but unfortunately they didn't have the one I was…read morelooking for. Instead, they offered me a discounted used chinrest that worked perfectly and fit my budget. They also took the time to repair my broken chinrest, which I truly appreciated. Everyone was incredibly kind, honest, and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure I left with a good solution. Excellent customer service, and I highly recommend this shop!

Customer service alone deserves more than a 5-star review. Went here on the 2nd of March to get a…read morenew practice amp as my cheap Amazon amp was not doing enough. Went to another music store, which shall not be named, and was not greeted very kindly- workers at that music store were very quiet, I wasn't even greeted at the door and had to make my presence noticed and say good morning- to them. The experience here at Harper's Music Store was different however. It's been years since I've been here- last time I was here, I recall getting a synthetic reed for my baritone sax. The owner, Steve, greeted me as I walked through the door and asked me what my needs were. I told him I was looking for a beginner AMP and first showed me some small, cheap options. I then asked him that I wanted something with a little more features to it and then showed me a Marshall MG30FX and a Spider IV Line 6 75 W. I decided to go with the Line 6 as the presets and customizability of the AMP was what persuaded me in buying it. I'm not sure if he works here too but Michael helped me in further solidifying my purchase of the Spider AMP over the Marshall because of the same reasons, so thank you to you too Michael! Purchasing my Fender Starcaster here was a breeze- I traded in a guitar for the Starcaster and that process was very straight forward- just show your ID and Steve'll take a look online to see how much it is priced and give you a fair offer like he did with me. Overall, if you're looking for musical needs, going to Harper's Music Store is a great idea. The customer service let alone is really what knocks this place out of the park. I'll be coming here again if I need anything else.

Kristina is literally THE BEST. If you're considering voice lessons with her, seriously go for it…read more-- you'll be astounded. I've been working with her for over a year and half now, and I started from *nothing*. With Kristina's help, my voice has gotten stronger, I've gained so much more confidence in my abilities, and I've learned so much about technique (but in a really simple, straightforward, do-able way). If you have even the slightest nervousness about voice lessons, Kristina is your teacher. She never makes you sing alone unless you want to! And between all of the fun exercises, it's a very gradual, very non-intimidating path towards singing solo *if you want to.* I know she has pro-level students as well, but Kristina is definitely beginner-friendly. Part of what drew me to Kristina was her vibe. She's, simply stated, The Coolest Person Ever. She's a little bit rock-and-roll, a little bit San Francisco, and a whole lot of joyful, hilarious, knowledgable, and accepting. Our lessons are very healing to me: we warm up with humming and chanting for a very somatic, embodied practice that does wonders for my nervous system. I could go on about Kristina forever, but the last thing I'll say for now is: Just listen to her music. Listen to her voice. Kristina's money is where her vocal chords are! She's a powerhouse singer with a skill level second to none. Her level of artistry is mind-bending in and of itself -- and learning from somebody like that is extraordinarily special. Thank you for everything, Kristina!

She is very kind and provides a really comfortable environment and process, if you're a beginner vocalist like I was. She has helped me gain confidence in my singing ability which is invaluable! The cadence of our lesson is both mindful, and a practice of being present...while also doing vocal exercises that both challenge and improve my vocal range. I look forward to my weekly lesson with her!

And the owner Ron is a Big A. Literally a big one. I went here for years to find out I was being bamboozled for a very long time. Thank God he made me buy my chain back instead of letting me pay interest. He said I needed to buy it the last time or I would lose it. What kind of crap. Do not bring your business to The Pawnshop. The Mexican guy is super cool. The rest of em can beep my beep. This place is a no go don't even put them on your list. Check other places you will get a better deal FOR SURE. 2 thumbs down for The Pawnshop.
