Four hours before a birthday dinner I came to the Guitar Center to find an electric acoustic…read moreguitar. Visually incredible as soon as you enter the store. Guitars floor to ceiling affixed to the walls. The big sign saying Acousic Instruments was all the way in the back of the store and was the place I needed to find my new toy. Small room with a nice selection of electric and non- electric guitars of various colors and styles. The staff members explained a few of the items and I chose a well made Taylor guitar and sat next to the provided mini amplifier. I was severely rusty but sounded OK, but not band ready of course. The guitars were priced from $275 to $1100 and will have to do more research before I pull the trigger and spend my cash. There is a strong emphasis on drummers interests with a full wall of just drumsticks and two areas of assorted drums where you can jam out on the skins. The speaker and PA rental room was dramatic so I had to take a short video. The front room offers musical programs with private lessons from an instructor. Based on what I experienced, this is definitely the place to explore any musical interests.

I called ahead to ask that he not close before I got there. He obliged and I'm glad he did. I wouldn't have wanted to miss this place! The Guitar Exchange has some great guitars that are farily priced (I couldn't decide between the V and the Explorer) and lots of guitars for players. Gary was patient, friendly and informative as I made my way around the shop. He encouraged me to take as many photos as I wanted, and showed me some really killer stuff that didn't jump out at me at first! I'm grateful that Gary stayed open for me, ultimately 40 minutes after closing time, although I attribute a little of that to my own ability to kick up some interesting conversation. Thanks again, Gary. See you next time!

Initially, I had a disagreement with the owner of Guitar Exchange, but I chose to overlook it,…read moreassuming it may have simply been a difficult day. Despite that experience, I enrolled my child in lessons at the school. For several months, everything seemed to go smoothly. As the parent of a minor, I take my responsibility to ensure my child's safety very seriously, and I would typically wait outside the lesson room during sessions. After approximately seven to eight months of lessons, the owner informed me that I could no longer remain outside the lesson room and that lessons would not continue unless I waited elsewhere. This came as a surprise because it represented a change from what had been accepted practice throughout our time there. Given my personal comfort level and my commitment to my child's well-being, I decided to seek instruction at another school. In the end, moving to a different program proved to be the right decision for my family, and we have been very pleased with the experience. My feedback to the owner is simple: transparency and clear communication regarding policies can go a long way toward building trust with parents.

They have a cool program where they get experience playing live which he hasn't tried yet but it sounds like a lot of fun and very valuable experience. The only negative is they don't have a lot of time slots available if you want to change your class time but the teachers are so amazing that we are able to work around that. I'd prefer they have not enough teachers rather than have some that are not as great just to have more time slots. Overall a great experience here and I would definitely recommend.

But I completely understood since the guitars are hanging on small hooks and could easily fall out of a customer's hands. The staff took me on a short tour of the acoustic guitars with brief guidance of their pricing, sound and quality. The guitar pricing ranged $400 to several thousand depending on the brand, appearance and structural integrity. Penny Lane offers lifetime warranties on select guitars and provide in-house repairs. Aside from musical string instrument sales they offer lessons from professional instructors but its not cheap. The one hour private lesson is $180.00 or a discounted four sessions of lessons for $550.00. I have experience with the electric rock n' roll guitars from the 1980s but thought it would be a change of scenery to purchase an acoustic guitar and learn the chords the right way.

Here's my comments about my experience with Russell and Piano Outlet…read more Dear Mr. Russell Housen, I am writing to commend you and your company (Piano Outlet) for the excellent service I received during the recent purchase of my Yamaha C3. From my first communication, you made it clear that my concerns of making a large long distance purchase was very important to you. You noted what specifically I was looking for including the size of the Yamaha Grand Piano which I wished to purchase, and promptly contacted me when my piano arrived at your shop. The rebuilding and preparing process afforded me the opportunity to greatly expand my knowledge of Yamaha Grand Pianos and especially the C3 model. During my numerous text messages and telephone calls to you, my questions were always answered in a patient and courteous professional manner. It quickly became apparent to me that you, as well as, your employees are consummate craftsmen, for whom attention to detail really means something. In this age of mass-produced mediocrity, such qualities are rare, indeed. My Yamaha C3 Grand Piano lives anew, and will enrich my family for years to come. It shall always be my distinct pleasure to recommend you and your company (Piano Outlet) to friends and acquaintances. Much thanks, again, for a job well done! Warm Regards, Mario G.
