If he sells it, I…read morewanted it to be to Music Go around because I firmly believe we have to support our local stores. When I sell or purchase something I frequently do it there because I know that they'll give a fair price. Whenever anyone asks me to help sell an instrument. Every time. So my friend is an older fellow and he can't get around to St. Paul easily. So I said I'd find out what Music Go Round would recommend. I made the joke that I want to buy it. 0 chance I could afford what this thing is worth. I'd like to buy a Lamborghini as well, but nobody takes me seriously when I say that either. So explain all of that. The owner's little feelings got hurt because I mentioned that I want the guitar. So he fly out refused to help me. "I don't do market appraisals." So he wouldn't hear me when I tried to explain. It was extremely disrespectful & could have been handled with a little communication. I didn't get that. So this guy is taking the ONLY positive thing about B&H stores and throwing it out the window. Why wouldn't I reach out to Sweetwater to discover something like this? That's the next move. I love the guy you have working there. I think he's in a vest. He has always been kind, cool and professional to me every conversation. It is unfortunate for him that he has to work with this owner. This will sadden me when store inevitably closes, he only has himself to blame. C'mon dude. Build a relationship with your clients. Talk to people. Care a little. You had my full allegiance to your store. But all of that is washed away. Keep people close. I love sending people to Music Go Round but now I'd be embarrassed if you decide you don't like one or my friends.

I can't say enough about how good the service at Music Go Round in Roseville was for me buying a…read moreused bass guitar. They had a good selection, at a wide range of prices. They put new strings on and adjusted the neck for no extra cost. This is the store to go to for guitars in the Twin Cities

Jennifer Becker is hands down one of a very small number of luthiers in the entire world who are…read moretrue masters of their art and craft. I've known her since she was a teenager working with and learning from her father and grandfather, two of the greatest violin makers and restorers of any era. She is in every respect a worthy successor to carry forward the legendary Becker family tradition. Jennifer is unfailingly honest and professional. She wants nothing more than to make your instrument sound as good as it possibly can, whether it's a student instrument or a Strad. She is welcoming, friendly, and understanding with every type of string player, student to lifelong amateur, young professional to world class soloist. You will not find her combination of knowledge, skill, passion, humility, and true art anywhere else. In spite of her status at the pinnacle of her profession, she is completely unassuming. There's not a hint of the kind of pretention you'll find in most other high end violin shops. I live in Maine and gladly drive to St. Paul to have her take care of my magnificent Becker cello. Can't imagine having anyone else work on it!

She makes her own violins by hand with her daughter in a style handed down from generations through her family. Always very professional, when you want the best you go to Jenny.

I went to Guitar Center to purchase a guitar. I had been putting it off for a long time and really…read morethought I could use a pro help me pick a guitar out. I got inside and went straight back to the acoustic section because those always caught my musical attention. I was in the room for a while and then I asked one of the guys working if he could help me with picking out a guitar. Mike was exceptional in his knowledge of acoustic guitars from wood types to brand subtleties. I was in with a decent budget since I really wanted a guitar that I could play for a long time. Mike's service and attention to the customer really helped my purchase, I ended up purchasing a Martin retailing at $1,459(with case and some accessories). Overall spent more than I came planning but I was shown the value and was treated with great service! Would recommend! -Shiny

I wanted to meet cool employees, have great conversations about music, and honestly, I wanted to buy something. I have a lot of money (well, not really) and I am genuinely in the market for... music stuff. Groth Music has guitars, but guitar is not its primary focus. Instead, Groth is the spot to go to when you want to find sheet music. I think there's still a lot of value in this despite e-commerce. A lot of times, the quality of sheet music isn't clear, especially for pop music. It's very useful to be able to look at the pages for yourself. I'm rating Groth 3 stars because no employee felt like greeting me. I was especially disappointed that the guy in the guitar section simply sat at his desk without even trying to engage me at all. He semi-grumpily said "let me know if you have any questions." I genuinely could've bought something, even a guitar, if he took the second to chat with me like many local music shop workers often do. Instead, I got Guitar Center-level service.
