Both are now great instrumentalists and musicians though grown up and residenced in other States. Our church also buys musical instruments from them and just engaged their services to teach a group of our youth at the church how to play keyboards, drums, guitars, etc. Very accommodating, family oriented, friendly and always available. I wonder how they have managed to remained so professional over and over for the many years I have known them? I recommend them any day...

This review is a long time coming. My partner and I have each purchased instruments here, the…read morepeople who run this place are super friendly. On several occasions when looking for strings, I've brought my filthy trash Bari Ukulele in and they string it up and clean it for me which is really cool. Today I got myself a Tenor Guitar and wanted to put it in "Chicago Tuning," but in my haste to tune it, I broke a string after having it out of the box for all of 3-5 minutes (everything I touch breaks!) I immediately put on my coat and drove over to University Music. The wonderful woman behind the counter is always as kind as can be, and willing to help when I come in with all of my issues. Love this place. (If you are a Bari Uke player and have not tried a Tenor Guitar, put it on your bucket list. This thing is fucking fun. I've not put it down since I came home, excepting while writing this review. Thank you University Music, you're the best music store around.)

I was more impressed with the service at Indie Music than at pretty much any other local business…read moreI've frequented. I was in the market for an acoustic-electric guitar upgrade. I shopped the larger chains and did a lot of online research before going to Indie Music. At the larger chains, I felt pressured every time I went to go try out some guitars. At Indie Music, that wasn't the case. I walked in and had the guitar room pretty much to myself to try out the different acoustics. There was no pressure to buy or answer a bunch of questions about what I was looking for. When I finally narrowed down the selection to 2 guitars, they were very helpful answering any questions that I had. They even went so far as to pull out several different guitars of the same model, out of the boxes, to show that each guitar may sound slightly differently. I was so impressed by their knowledge and friendliness that I bought my new guitar on the spot. They even gave me a good deal on my trade in. The day after I purchased my guitar was super cold and the humidity dropped to almost 0. 3 strings on the 13th and 14th frets wouldn't play. They told me to bring it right in and they made adjustments on the spot to get it working. I was told to keep them updated and bring it back so that they could get the guitar tuned in correctly. I'd recommend Indie Music to anyone!

Mike and Diane are great and they are helping me achieve my goal of learning to play the guitar!…read moreI've been wanting to learn how to play a guitar for years and I am finally learning with Mike. Mike is very relatable and is able to explain things in a simple manner to help me understand the guitar. They even offer virtual lessons and help you learn at your own pace. He has fun analogy for everything with helps you understand things quickly. I was able to get everything I need at their store to prepare for my guitar lessons including picks, a guitar stand, changing strings for my guitar, a tuner, and my lesson book. I can't wait to be a rock star like Mike and Diane! I highly recommend taking lessons and also calling if you have any questions. They give quick responses and get straight to the point!

Overall fantastic concert (Nefesh Mountain Band) and beautiful venue WITH plenty of easy parking!…read more I arrived starving and could not find one place to grab some food on the way in, then learned that they had an in-house restaurant...Yay! Then learned they were a primarily reservation-based restaurant, BUT they were able to snag me a table...Yay! The restaurant was unusual in that it felt like a fake establishment, almost set up as a prop for a comedy skit. The server came over promptly and told me that all food arrived from outside, and they just heated things up, and that they may or may not have all things on the menu. Anyway, it all worked out, they had what I wanted, and it was all actually really good, and the concert was... AMAZING!!!

The venue is nestled in a wide expanse and there is plenty of parking. The building is gorgeious inside and out. You are able to order a meal ahead for dining before a show. I thought it would be chaos but it was well organized and the seatings timed in a way that you could have a leisurely meal. The concert hall is beautiful and I'm guessing there is not a bad seat in the house. I will be back!
