Really appreciate the service and the value of product they provide! They were helpful and courteous in finding what I was looking for.

We've had nothing but great experiences at Shamrock. Lessons are great and geared toward the student's interests and goals.

This place was truly terrible, shamrock I know you know who this is, I have a bass trombone and a tenor trombone, I dropped my tenor off for a lyre and dent removing, I didn't get the lyre which I wasn't very happy about. My bass trombone had a rattle and it need a dent removed on the bell and, my bell now has TWO dents and it still rattles. The tech didn't show up for a week, and half the time they didn't know where in the my instruments were, the shop took a week to long, photos here will be provided. Also they called gave us an estimate on the price and we payed and it was apparently late payment even though we didn't get a prior call. When I picked up my instruments I Wanted to fight for a refund. This was outrageous. I was very cooperative with shop and kept my composure but you shouldn't have to baby sit a shop because they can find a way to do business, also they gave me a bunch of excuses about why it was taking so long, shamrock I really tried to work with you but come on man I was bending over backwards for you. read more

Nice independently owned music shop that has 23 music teachers who provide lessons on all kinds of instruments. They carry a good variety of entry level to mid level guitars ranging from $199 to $999 from brands such as PRS, Fender, Gretsch, Squier, Supro, Washburn, Dean, & Luna. They carry Fender, Supro and PRS amps as well as boutique amps built within old wooden radios, old wooden TVs, and old suitcases. Those were pretty cool! read more

I don't know where to begin and I know that I need to write this review. Words can be so powerful, especially to a 6 year old just learning music. My children started a contract for piano lessons $$ and after about a month, my daughter came home crying. She was told by the instructor that she wasn't good enough and should consider singing. Comments were made about my son possibly being autistic. I was so infuriated that I went in to speak to management to make them aware. The solution was to move them to an instructor who was better with kids and patient. The kids flourished and loved playing so much that they practiced 5 days a week at home. The instructor left after 1yr on short notice so the kids were left without an instructor. We were told they would be placed with someone and would receive a call back. It's been over 6 months and we have yet to receive a callback. Thumbs down read more

Shamrock Music Shoppe - In action! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Purcellville, Virginia

Shamrock Music Shoppe is a fairly new addition to Purcellville, but it's come to enjoy a prominent place in the downtown retail scene in a short time. Part of the reason, I think, is that there's no other place to buy basic music supplies or connect with musically minded people out in western Loudoun (closest is Leesburg for Melodee Music). The other part is that Scott Kinney, the proprietor, is genuinely passionate about music and passionate about building community. The store offers classes and small shows in addition to merchandise, and it's often mentioned whenever any news about Purcellville retail hits the local weekly papers. It also doesn't hurt that Kinney is the brother of author Jeff Kinney, writer of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series, and that lends a certain celebrity sheen to the place. In a world filled with Guitar Centers, it's really nice to see a local store with a local proprietor take root in the community. For that alone, I give the place serious props. As a store, though, how is it? The good: Shamrock covers a lot of musical needs, from recording to instrument rentals to instruction. For that location, that seems like a good idea. Loudoun County is filled with moms and dads with aspiring musician kids, and it's a convenient place to drop off your kid for a lesson or pick up some reeds for the wind instrument. It also offers a bunch of instruments for sale, many on consignment, along with some made by local luthiers. The not-so-good: As someone who really appreciates guitars and musical gear, I find the inventory to be seriously lacking. A sizeable percentage of the guitars for sale are cheap overseas knockoffs -- and there's not much in the way of pedals or amps that's beyond the cheap beginner range. So, overall, great to have a local music store, and the owner's passion is wonderful. Just need to wow me a little more so when i come in I see an instrument I might want to take home. read more

Love this place. Quality stock, great employees and super lessons. This is a terrific spot! read more

How much do I like Shamrock Music Shoppe? Enough to drive a hour-and-a-half round trip when there are no fewer than five other music shops in a closer radius to our home. I found out about Shamrock when attending a concert at the nearby Catoctin Creek Distillery by singer-songwriter Andrew McKnight. I brought a guitar that I wanted McKnight to take a look at, and he recommended taking it across the street to Shamrock for a repair estimate. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and felt welcomed by the family atmosphere. (And it is indeed family-owned, not a cookie-cutter chain.) The owner spent about 15 minutes with me, opened up the electric guitar, and said that they'd have to send it out because it needed some parts that weren't in stock. They later ended up consigning the guitar and sold it for me. I have since brought other instruments there for inspection and repair. Some places will immediately try to upsell you when you bring in an instrument of your own. But not Shamrock. I am an eBay seller and I want the value-added of being able to say an instrument has been "Professionally serviced and inspected" before I list it for sale. And Shamrock Music Shoppe fits this bill to a T. read more

Went in to see if Shamrock might have some patch cords I needed for my performing rig, and ended up meeting and chatting with owner Scott Kinney. Very impressed with the selection of instruments available, as well as support accessories for performing musicians such as myself. Shamrock Music Shoppe reminded me of what it's like to do business with a local enterprise instead of a nameless faceless website, or a corporate conglomerate. I will make a point of stopping back at Shamrock, and recommend them to local students as well as other working musicians. read more

I needed a guitar for my son's home practice and shopping local is key for me. I love the staff and owner of this shop! They are fun, bring such an incredible amount to this community, always giving back, and set us up with everything we needed to match his middle school class needs. Looking forward to getting my son into private lessons with them as soon as he knows the basics. The environment provided to the youth community for healthy and creative outlets is exactly what a small town, or any town, needs. Thanks Scott & everyone at Shamrock! read more

Scott, and his team over at Shamrock Music Shoppe are second to none when it comes to customer service, and being all around good people. They really strive to make the customer feel like they matter from start to finish unlike any other store I've dealt with in the past by providing timely communication, answering any questions you might have about an item, and shipping quickly. In my case even when something came up they handled it swiftly, and with real class. Not only have they made a repeat customer out of me, but anyone else would be wise to give them a go when they are in the market for anything music related in the future. read more

I bought my first jazz box here, I called in about it and they put a note on the guitar and it was waiting for me when I arrived. They let me and my girlfriend compare guitars for as long as we wanted and I walked out with a Gretsch archtop acoustic and it has been months and I do not regret it. It is set up so perfectly. The action is as low as can be and the tone is warm, plucky and crisp. Great product, great service, great people, awesome place. read more

I needed a new bass guitar amp. Mine was just too big and bulky for daily use, and I wanted to trade in for newer and smaller. I walk in and I talk to the guy in charge, and tell him what Im interested in. He goes to the back and brings out a nice little amp for me to try out. Since the owner was looking for a larger combo bass amp for one of the practice spaces, we make it an even trade, even though my amp was in poorer condition. Simple, no nonsense, honest business, and I got exactly what I needed. read more

Our son has been at Shamrock for over six months learning how to play drums, and we wanted to share that our experience with Scott and his business has been amazing. His teachers and staff are some of the best people that you will ever meet when looking for a music teacher or an instrument, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for anything related to the music business. Thank you, Scott, for providing such a valuable service and business in Western Loudoun. Go see them, you won't regret it! read more
