I never was an instrument person. I mean I played piano as a kid sure, but nothing seriously. I was gifted a guitar and needed to get the strings tuned. So I headed over to Old Towne Music. The shop has a large selection of guitars mainly but some other stuff like drums. The guy at the counter was fairly helpful in explaining what needed to be fixed. I asked a few basic questions about what to know, how to play, etc. which he answered plainly. He took down my information and I was able to drop my guitar off. He said it would be fixed by next week. I got a call and was able to pay for it and pick it up. He cleaned it up also which I appreciated. I grabbed some picks and went about my day. Now I'm doing some research on the basics but it all came out to be around 65 dollars to change strings, tune it up plus labor. I would recommend if you're needing to fix up an instrument, the staff is knowledgeable and able to answer most of your questions. read more

Old Towne Music - Guitar - Electronics Near Me - Turnersville, New Jersey

I agree with the other reviewers assessment of the low quality of instruments. Everything was a "Stagg" or something or other. I think the highest brand that was in here was a Yamaha, and there were maybe 2-3 of those in the whole place. Nice LOOKING stuff, but certainly more geared toward the beginning musician, or someone on a tight budget. We went to check out the kids music class, and found the setting to be quite chaotic and extremely cramped. The teacher seemed nice, if not a little unhappy to have to be working with 3 year olds, and the man at the counter was very pleasant. I definitely don't see a reason why I would be back here to buy anything, and wouldn't consider lessons for my kid until she was much older. read more

As a working drummer this store is convenient.. However, I bought 2 pair of pro mark sticks which came to $40.41. They overprice their gear, on pro mark website, sweetwater, and even guitar center or Sam ash they average around 12-14 dollars a pair. Convenient for me at times but I was robbed. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

I called random music stores in the area to get appraisal on an instrument I was selling and lo and behold the guy at the counter was someone I worked with at Music & Arts like 15 years ago... read more

Its a ok place to buy strings. Thats about it. They sell the lowest quality instruments and ask top dollar for them. They tech is only there once a week so get ready for a wait if you need a guitar set up or repair. If you are a good player you wont find anything there worth your time. It was a better store 20 years ago. read more

Horrible. Apparently it's impossible to keep good teachers there. So far every one we've had disappears and then my child hears about how their teacher was a bad person or something negative. this place is horrible. Seems like everyone is terrified of the blonde manager. read more
