I thought this was a musically positive shop I bought a guitar after the guy took another classical…read moreguitar I got from another shop that replaced that one broke that my mom had given me and I had a gig to play. Well, the guy fixed me up well I got a real nice guitar he made a good deal on the trade in and I was good to go for my gig in a few days. I than thought I plan I giving this shop my business for everything moving ahead as I keep playing gigs and open mics so will need a lot of stuff But that feeling soon changed Four months ago I than looked to take lessons for overall skill improvement so I pick out a teacher who fit the bill who I remember back a few years as I met him at a gig but I could not get it booked so I waited kept calling back and talked to a lessons person and never got a call back who acted like I was a pain in asking about this Well this went on for months until a few weeks ago was told someone may drop so I finally called and was told that the teacher said he spoke to me back a ways and it would not be a match no a reason just blow off after months waiting on this So I will never buy anything from you again if this is how you treat people. A full lack of respect all around Its a disrespect for the creative process by your store and the teacher I'm glad it happened as the good lord works in funny ways in a better teacher is out there, not one who may have skill but is to egotistical to respect others creative endeavors and this goes for your store as well no matter the level I will not ever buy from you for anything and will pass this on to those I know I teaching tennis to kids ( Who I show how to play not show off my play Got that hint ) ) and in the musical people I run into so you don't put someone else thought something so petty Bill

I came to Donley's for bluegrass banjo lessons, and the instructor (Joe K) has been really good…read more Patient, helpful, and well-qualified, he discussed where I was at and where I wanted to go, thus individualizing the instructions. He teaches context and reasons for playing techniques instead of just following a textbook- this makes the learning applicable across many different situations. Josh (owner) is very friendly and no pressure for sales. He's helpful, knowledgeable, and likewise multi-instrumental. I began looking at mandolins and he gave great advice in selection. He was then able to quickly secure what I was looking for, gave a totally competitive price, plus his professional, luthier set-up on its arrival. So glad to have this service nearby! I appreciate too that both Joe and Josh (probably others) are active in playing gigs etc., so what you get at Donley's is coming from guys who are active in music. Thanks!

We are blessed!

My son decided to try band for his 6th grade year and Jennings came highly recommended. Renting his…read morealto sax was a quick and painless process. The instrument and case were in impeccable condition and the staff was extremely helpful. I strongly suggest adding the insurance to your rental for $10 extra a month. His sax broke at one point and all I had to do was drop it off, get a temporary replacement and wait a week for them to fix it. Easy peasy. The return was just as easy as the rental. Should he decide to continue with band, I'll be back!

I bought my professional model flute from Allison and Dane 21 years ago. Allison was patient,…read moreshowed me several different models, and I came away with a beautiful flute that I still play today. I also bought my professional model piccolo from them. If you are looking for a flute, Allison is your person. She knows the flute as well as anyone I know, and I've been around the block a few times. She will make sure you are fitted with a flute that gives you the kind of response and tone that is best for you, and that will give you many years of pleasure playing. Go for it.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Alison and Dane at Whipkey's Music. I…read morerented a flute from them as an adult beginner and took some lessons by FaceTime. Alison was patient and positive; she's a gifted teacher with an encouraging manner. So after a few months I decided I wanted to stick with the flute, in great part because my cat likes to listen. It's all about the cats, right? So I wanted a nicer flute of my own. Alison had my try many different brands and types of flutes, listening with her experience to zero in on the flute that is just right for me. The process extended over 3 visits and a couple of months. Alison is a zero-pressure salesperson, more of a spirit guide through the world of flute. This is less like a retail experience and more like having a master tailor help to make a perfect suit. Today is New Flute Day. I cannot wait to get home and see if the kitty loves it too! Thank you Alison!

I'm new to the world of music and I was glad to know that Rome has its own music store. I was very…read morehappy with my experience at SMC. Zach did a great job helping me get setup with a bass guitar and amp. The store is clean and laid out well and it's a much better vibe than a Guitar Center. Shop local and support these guys--prices and service are excellent. However, give the guitar lessons a pass. Lessons are in a messy store room in the back with distractions galore. He was late the first lesson and a no-show on the second. Check out Sean Thrower's Guitar Institute of Rome if you desire high-quality instruction.
