I've been a loyal Music Makers customer for several years. I love doing business with the helpful,…read moreknowledgeable staff because they make every visit a pleasure as well as a valuable learning experience. Owner Dave Plunk is truly a man of integrity and kindness. Here's one example: Last year, when I was hit out of the blue by a perfect storm of unforeseen expenditures, I found myself in a "too-much-month-at-the-end-of-the-money" situation. I brought in some equipment to sell and I was prepared to accept pretty much any cash offer. Dave paid me a surprisingly generous sum for the items - far more than I would have received from Guitar Center or a pawn shop - and I was able to make it to my next paycheck without having to sell my plasma to a blood bank. :) I stopped in today just to get picks and strings and, as usual, I ended up developing a torrid crush on one of the new guitars in stock - a Fender California Series Redondo Player acoustic-electric with a flashy metallic lime-colored finish (Fender calls it "Electric Jade") and mahogany neck. It had no price tag so, having recovered from last year's little fiscal crisis, I inquired about the cost. Dave quoted me a very reasonable price but quickly added that if I bought it today, he'd knock a hundred dollars off. "SOLD!" I said. It was just one more in the long list of satisfying experiences I've had at Music Makers. Though I had no doubt whatsoever that I had done quite well on the deal, out of curiosity, I checked to see how much internet retailers are charging for the same guitar. Musiciansfriend.com has a used one for sale, with some minor blemishes, and it's going for $20 more than Dave charged me for a brand new one! I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who is looking for musical instruments, live sound equipment or lessons to go to Music Makers. You'll be glad you did.

They let me borrow things on approval so I can select choir music, and they have keyboards available so I can review piano music right there. They have always been great to work with.

Sometimes they do work for a while- although a while is less than two weeks. They are very expensive. There is not a very good choice of music for oboe- flute books do work, but they have too high of a scale. In other words, they do not have very good intermediate books. They do have a okay selection of holiday songs in the back for oboe. I did get my oboe from here, and it lasted for a good while. I'm not sure what other people with different instruments would think about Kidder. I think it depends on the instrument you play. So, overall, I find Kidder to be satisfactory but not the best. Other instruments probably think differently, though.
