I recently purchased a Taylor, and the whole experience meant more to me than I expected. I was able to spend time in the store without feeling rushed, really sit with a few options, and figure out what felt right. Elliot was upfront, honest, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. No pressure, no gimmicks just straightforward guidance and a genuine willingness to help me find the right fit. I really appreciated that. Thank you guys for making this a great experience.

I'm so excited to continue playing and they are now my go to guys

I'm still an early beginner on bass, but I've been playing acoustic guitar for about 10 years so cut me a little slack The store has a great selection of instruments, which I really appreciated. However, the help I received was a bit inconsistent. At times, it felt like some employees weren't very interested in assisting me, possibly because I'm newer to electric gear. I was hoping for more guidance on what I actually needed, rather than just being pointed toward what was available to sell. That said, Kurt really stood out. He was super helpful, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable plugging in and trying things out even if I didn't sound great That kind of experience goes a long way. I did end up buying a bass and amp from the Kansas City location, and honestly, I don't think I would've made the purchase without Kurt's help. Appreciate it, man.

With no shortage of services, KC Strings is also the only American maker of professional grade violas, violins, cellos and bases. It's really a one stop string shop. Say that three times. They'll sell, repair, rent and even give you private lessons. The staff knows their strings. I quickly overheard one of the assistants is a student at Julliard. Everyone in the shop is eager to assist or simply enjoying their job by playing the instruments. They also emphasize their ability to work out financing options. Thankfully I had a sidekick who knew the difference between a viola and violin and that brought about some great conversations with the staff. I grabbed a brochure as we headed out and it says "Together We Create." I couldn't agree more.

I am so pleased with the great piano teacher match through Shining Light Music. When I called to…read moreinquire about teachers, I communicated that our requirements are stringent: my son is 6 yrs old, and while he likes piano, he doesn't looove piano, so the lessons have to be fun and engaging to encourage his progress. He's had 1.5 years piano instruction, and he doesn't respond well to some of the "too basic" piano book courses we had temporarily explored with a couple past teachers, so it's a challenge to level him up with material and technique that is age appropriate and fun enough but not too basic, nor too complex. And we had limited time availabilty as our schedules are maxed... It's such a blessing that the receptionist recommended Ms. Emily Shelp! Ms. Emily is well qualified; she possesses a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Bob Jones University and has been playing since she was 7 yrs old. Her bio is coming soon to the Shining Light Music teacher page. Best of all, she strikes the right notes - I couldn't resist the pun! - in working on my son's technique and making it fun. She motivates him with weekly fun point-competitions (to earn country stickers in his passport, medals, trophy, etc.) which has resulted in him reminding me that he has to memorize a song for the next lesson..cuz he wants the points! (whoo hoo, he's no longer resistant to practicing!!!!) I feel that she is the right piano teacher for his current level and needs; she employs a cheerful and focused Kindergarten/First Grade encouraging teaching style to keep all the lessons fun and on track, she's able to motivate and consistently award with positive reinforcement, able to redirect him when he gets silly (after all he's been in school all day, then straight to his lesson!) and I appreciate how she is able to teach finer technique in a way that he understands. She would be great for both beginner and advanced students.
