This is the worst music store I've been to in New England. I brought my cello to replace a string,…read moreI paid $20 for the string and $10 for the labor, the next day I went back to ask for re tuning the cello, the man kept yelling at me and told me to tune it myself. And I asked him for advice on how to tune my cello, he said there is none, no technics, just do it. I will never go back to this stinky store and super bad customer service ever again. If I can give 0 Star, this is what they deserved.

I love this place. Whenever I leave this place, I have a big smile on my face and feel spiritually…read morerefreshed. Some other places, when I leave, I feel guilty like I did something wrong. They treat their customers with the utmost respect. The long black-haired death metal guy who works here (Brendan) is an incredibly kind and friendly salesperson. Every time I come here, they make me feel welcome. Skip the Music Emporium and spend your money here instead. The spirit of Matt Leff is alive and well thanks to kind, well-meaning salespeople like Brendan. I never feel rushed or pressured and I almost always have to stop myself from talking Brendan's ear off whenever I visit. I'm sure even if I did annoy him, he might never even show it.

I brought them a couple instruments for basic set ups, and the results were outstanding. Then I had…read morea few more instruments with more challenging issues, like Factory construction flaws, and I brought those and have similarly been just ecstatic at the results. They do a great job there and their prices are more than reasonable. Just a fantastic experience all around.

Th folks at Guitar Doctor have sold and set up a couple of guitars and an electric bass for me,…read moreover the past 35 years. A few repairs thrown in there, as well. I've never been steered wrong, oversold, or disappointed with their work. The expertise is endless! I was in an again recently, and happy to see not much has changed. I'd say if you want Guitar Center, go to Guitar Center. If you want individual attention, and a couple lifetimes of expertise, go see the Doc. If you want to support the Walmart of music, that's ok. Sometimes I do, too. But, if you want to shop local, support local businesses, and enjoy the mom-and-pop charm, go see the Doc. Reading the reviews here leaves me scratching my head. The one who had their bass setup done, came back a month later with questions and they didn't remember them...Ok. That's a 1 star review? Like, was there an actual problem? And, if there was a problem, did you have your receipt? Cause, I'm pretty sure they're not going to remember setting up your new bass a month later at Guitar Center, either. Or, maybe there is just more to that story... If you're on the fence, go check them out for yourself. Chances are good you'll think they're pretty cool, too.

I am in LOVE with this guitar again! This Strat+ was purchased new 25 yrs ago and survived decades…read moreof gigging/jamming but eventually developed serious tuning and intonation issues. I all but gave up on the thing until my friends told me about Cranky's. For a very reasonable fee, Greg worked on the frets, tremolo, tuning heads, saddles, and gave it a thorough cleaning. She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!

Recently moving to the area I searched for a reputable music instructor for my two children. I…read morefigured this would be it. The sales floor is very spacious and has a lot of guitars. That's about all that they have is guitars. Sheet music for days and a few dated keyboards is what they have to offer. I checked their prices against Guitar Center and it's a lot more expensive! The music teachers are mediocre, nothing great. One complaint that I have is that the music teacher kept cancelling his appointments. At one appointment he didn't bother to even call and cancel. We showed up and they said he was on vacation! Really?! It seems as if this place is poorly managed and it's too bad. It has a nice look and feel, but don't be fooled. I'd rather travel to Braintree and try Guitar Center, or search for a private teacher.

I too am very happy that Central Music became Central Music II. The new owners are very…read moreintelligent, and are really well-educated, astute musicians and teachers themselves with many years of community service & performance and teaching experience. The pricing of instruments and rentals is in line with or slightly more affordable than what I've experienced at other area music retailers. They seem happy to do repairs. Some places will only repair stuff they sell in their own shop, but CMII is fine with repairing just about any piece of equipment. I believe that CMII is going to make great contributions to the cultural health and quality of life of Brockton and the surrounding area.
