Beware your business with the Shelby Music Center. I took an instrument there in late 2015 for…read moreconsignment. They never called. I couldn't get anyone on the phone. Half the time I couldn't even find anyone at the shop. The door was wide open, customers were looking for an employee and couldn't find one. When I returned and did find someone, the instrument was only partially there, missing the mouthpiece and other accessories. Worst of all, my receipt, which I still possess in my wallet, wasn't honored, and I wasn't compensated. I have returned three times over the past couple of years, and the shop owner Mike always puts me off and says he'll get an answer and call me, writing down my number like it's the first time on a piece of scratch paper among a sea of scattered papers on the counter. So, the instrument I played for six years in middle and high school is gone forever with nothing to show for it. And on top of that the Better Business Bureau basically says they cannot help me because the transaction happened more than a year ago. I'd prefer to never have a bad review to leave a place because I love sharing kindness and positivity and support for small businesses, but I've kept this one quiet long enough. I got taken advantage of by a business with no good intentions for me, and I fear other folks can suffer the same fate due to the disorganization of the music shop.

Great little music store! I'll buy my strings and anything else I may need for my guitars or if I…read moreneed saxaphone stuff. Very nice experienced staff. No presure to buy anything, I like to just look, listen and either take a lesson or play one of the guitfiddles on the wall. I DO buy stuff when I need something.

I've driven by this place so many times and never noticed it, since the sign for it is small and…read morekinda hidden. Birdsnest is actually located right upstairs from the Needlecraft Center on Main Street in Davidson. It seems weird, but you walk into the house and head upstairs to the second floor. The Birdsnest consists of a retail shop and a place to get some music lessons. There is a little room that is cluttered with tons of vinyl records, which is what drew us here in the first place. The prices were pretty good and the quality of the records was great. They also have a small selection of CDs and other music formats, but it's mainly about the records. There are other rooms upstairs that are dedicated to music lessons, both instrumental and vocal. Birdsnest is a pretty cool addition to downtown Davidson and worth checking out if you want some vinyl or want some professional assistance in becoming a rock god.

Hello ..lo...lo....anybody here here here ...????!!!!!…read more EMPTY! Only one person working at the store that I could see ....no-one available to unlock the acoustic guitars I was wanting to try out (the better ones are locked to their holders ....understandable, but then someone should be available to unlock them for customers!) And even if I had gotten to try the Martin model I wanted ( an upgrade from my current model), the strings were so tarnished from age that I couldn't have trusted the sound. Clearly no one was periodically changing and updating the strings. :-( Overall a very disappointing experience.

Brought a little older guitar in today for restringing...explained the details of the instrument…read moretwice on two separate phone calls to staff prior, both times, 'not a problem, come in and we can handle it'. I get there the repair technician dosen't even touch it, looks at it with distain (I guess since it wasn't brand new, or I didn't buy it there perhaps?) and said 'I'm not touching it'. I told them the could replace the strings, do whatever, change me accordingly...didn't make any difference. He wasn't going dirty his hands, with a real job, I guess. Now its off to find someone who actually wants business. To the owners of the store, unless your doing laundery there, expect this place not be around for the long haul.
