Excellent place for guitar repairs, for buying guitars and other instruments, and peripherals. Extremely knowledgeable people here. Very competitive pricing as well. Highly recommend. read more

Friendly, knowledgable, low pressure. Great store for guitars and even more so for thoughtful advice.

I brought in a used fiddle/violin I bought to have it looked over and restrung. They were so helpful and kind and gave me great advice. They replaced the strings and two tuning pegs. They did great work fixing it up and the price was good. I will definitely come back here in the future when I need more repairs or advice. read more

My son took fiddle lessons at Stacy's and we've been shopping there for years now. Great place for lessons. All the music teachers we've met there have been professional, good at their instrument, and good at actually teaching. Everyone is always warm and professional. The atmosphere is totally different from Cville's Music and Arts (where the staff usually seems annoyed to see customers and is notoriously difficult to communicate with). At Stacy's,​ I get a warm welcome and professional service by phone and in person. Their guitar and violin repair services have​ been great for us. We've only needed minor things done. They've always been completed quickly and well. We've had them special order a guitar, amp, and other items. We've been happy with all our purchases. They can special order just about anything they don't happen to carry in the shop. read more

I like to get my music supplies here instead of online, just to support local business. But today I got a bonus when Stacy's replaced a defective string for free. I'll be back. read more

I graduated from UVa back in the day and spent this past weekend in Cville visiting my college roommate. Fate has led me to teach ukulele 3 times per week and also has given me the power to distribute about 1 ukulele every other month as part of my work for the Academy of Music in Norfolk, VA. One of my students wanted a black sparkle Makala Dolphin, which were out of stock down at the Beach. Happily when I phoned Stacy's they were able to put one on hold for me. Warm, courteous phone support! When I shoed up the next day, they changed out my strings for free, and would've polished the fretboard if I'd remembered to ask them for that service. The experience was soooooo enjoyable that the very next day, after I'd taught an ukulele lesson to Natasha Jahrsdoerfer's very gifted and charming Primary II class at North Branch Elementary School in Afton and then gifted them with a class ukulele, I returned to Stacy's to purchase another Makala Dolphin. This one is "PinkBurst" (most of my students in my Tuesday/Thursday classes for the Academy of Music are 3rd - 5th grade girls thus I keep 2 pink and 1 purple ukulele on hand at all times). Again great service, and including free string change (I prefer Low G Aquila bionylon strings b/c I used the James Hill Ukulele in the Classroom Curriculum) and friendly amusing banter. Definitely a great store. Highly recommend. read more

Walked in to get a new violin string (the G-string). They were really backed up with repairs (people starting to play during the bad weather?) so he made a quick call to do the repair right then. He got the violin teacher to assist and they added the new string and tuned it and sent me on my way in short order. I liked that he had a pleasant attitude focused on solving the problem (my problem) quickly. Price was more than fair too. read more

Y'all must be the best...I am Sweet Sister Mary and I am in HELLLLLL many LLLLS. All of my guitars are injured. I went out to see ELI COOK and he said to get to you guys!!!! read more

Best shop out there for musicians. Kudos to john and shepp. Keep up the great work guys. Cheers

Decided to undertake the journey of leaning guitar. Instead of going to Music and Arts, I opted for a local place. I'm so, so happy I did thanks to Stacy's Music. John was extremely helpful and very nice. He not only recommended me the right products that fit my needs, but helped me get a deal that was very affordable. Stacy's is a reason as to why you should go local. Top notch service and will definitely go again! read more

I've been in the area for a few years, but haven't really found anyone to work on my guitars- until now. Very reasonable prices, and very good work! The owner and the tech he has on staff are very knowledgeable about the product they sell and work on, and in some cases, do the work on demand. Highly recommended! read more
