It is ALMOST nice having a local music shop. But I'll start with the positives...
The staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a nice selection of merchandise. Music lessons are available, and the place definitely has the character associated with small, local businesses.
Unfortunately, none of the aforementioned things are very useful to me. Wabash Music suffers from unusual and unreliable business hours. There is a sign on the door that says something about opening at approximately 2:30 PM. Numerous times, I have found the store closed at this time, and even later. Fifteen or twenty minutes past opening time, and I'm out of patience. Purchasing guitar picks at Wal-Mart? Yeah, it's come to that before...
The evening hours may be good for some, but the afternoon is night time for 3rd shift workers like myself and many others. The hours are very inconvenient, even when the store is actually open at the posted times. I've traveled to McGuire Music in Lafayette more than once because it is more convenient, in spite of the long drive. read more
