Awesome service!…read more I've taken a few vocal lessons at Truimph and pop in from time to time when I grab a Booster Juice to grab strings or have a look at all their stuff! The person who books lessons is Jenn, she's really friendly and from what I can tell she works hard to meet your needs. I also happen to take my vocal lessons with her. She personalizes your lessons and really works to make you happy and to get a great sound coming from you. I'm a female vocalist in a metal band, and she's really helped me find an edge in my voice and connect with my pipes. In talking with a few of the other teachers there, they do lessons from beginner all the way to college/university prep. The staff are all very friendly and very knowledgable about their product, and they're really great at making you feel at ease if you entered the store as someone like me (knowing I wanted to start playing accoustic guitar, but knowing nothing about them.) They have a lots of entry level guitars, basses, and amps, but they also have lots of really nice stuff for a seasoned player. My husband has been playing bass since he was 15 and loves the selection of gear that they have, and he often wanders in there just to "talk shop" with the employees. Overall, if you're someone who wants to get into the music, or you have a kid who wants to start playing an instrument, I really recommend the music lessons, or just popping in and having a chat with anyone behind the desk. If you love music, still check it out.

I had a problem: the nut on my 12-string guitar broke as I was changing it. A music store I…read morenormally frequent could not guarantee me a repair in a timely fashion, so I headed over to Lillo's to see what they could do. I was very impressed with the friendly service and the speed of it as well. The store had the part I needed, and I had my guitar back within a week. On another day, I was looking for a harmonica in a specific key, and again, the music store I went to first was out of them. Back to Lillo's I went. One of the store's owners waited on me, and was a totally cool and cheerful guy. The price of the harmonica was in line with the first place I went to, and he even made conversation with me about why I needed it (it was for a specific song). Lillo's sells and repairs musical instruments, especially guitars, and also sells a wide variety of sheet music. Lillo's is also a place for musical instruction. I have a friend taking vocal lessons here and she is enjoying the experience. Lillo's has also been around for decades in a location where there are at least two or three other music stores nearby. I have a couple of guitars that may need servicing in the near future. Guess where I am going to take them?

Many decades ago my boyfriend had to hock his bass to pay a fine. He was able to do so at Lillos…read moreand then later rebought his bass back. Two decades later my xboyfriend and our son, Robin Nash, without knowing our history was hired by Vic Lillo. My son was also an aspiring musician and often had priority gigs and was unavailable to work for the store. Vic and Doreen always gave him consideration and always offered him a workplace ... I often think they did it more for him than themselves. He met his future wife Shawna there teaching harmonica lessons, drums and sold and repaired all the various instruments. My son Robin Nash was always welcome to come back when he needed extra income, always welcome to return as an employee or rather an extended Lillo's family member. If you google Robin Nash you'll see him as Santa playing at a LIllos event... his students and their parents in attendance. Because of families like the Lillos children grow up more talented, cared about and the old fashioned values of being a good guy "for sure for sure" will rub off. It definitely did on my late son. I will always be greatful to the Lillo family for cherishing him and giving a young hopeful musician a break.

Bought a used mail- order Boss DD-7pedal. I asked outright- "so this has been checked for any…read moreproblems and tested?" They said yes. I received it, it had never even been opened to view the battery chamber- as the screw to the battery chamber was bent all to hell, unusable- more surprises awaited! The posts of two of the knobs were also bent out of shape and the selectors pointed to one thing but did another, which, if anyone had tested it would immediately notice, as I did, that is was damaged in many ways. Then I am told I have 30 days to return it, no extra store credit offered, or maybe they could extend that return window a smidge because I'm 200 Km away... I have dropped over 3 grand at L and M over the years (30 years) and that's the last cent of mine they will see. 10/10 for sleaze.
