We had never been to this store before, but I recalled seeing it in the mall many years ago. When our clarinet broke this week, we made a quick call, discovered they did repair instruments, and were at the shop within the hour. We were greeting warmly, chatted about instruments with the young man at the counter while the clarinet was repaired, and were on our way.

I was blown away by their fast, friendly, professional service and will definitely be back. They just earned their spot as #1 go-to place in Frederick for me. Definitely a business I want to support!

Formerly local voice teacher here! I bought a ukulele and a couple of song anthologies here while home from Boston for the holidays, and I had a fantastic experience. The entire staff is friendly and helpful, and I want to give a special shoutout to Nick, the young assistant who helped me out during my most recent visit. He gave me great advice on choosing a ukulele (I ended up going with a Kala concert uke), and when there was some confusion over the case that was supposed to go with it, he checked everywhere multiple times and found me a good substitute, checked with me to make sure I had the time to wait while he figured it out, and was in general thorough, knowledgeable, affable, helpful, and unfailingly polite.

I had a great time talking to him while he helped me out -- he went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed. Please support this locally owned business and its lovely staff!

There are so many reasons why this store is still standing, I bought my first twelve string here and they were so helpful 15 years ago. Still amazingly knowledgeable and helpful with all things music. I am glad to be back in the area and able to use their services to help build my own skills and teach my children.

Everyone was kind and knowledgable, and personally attentive. Along with purchasing a new instrument at a great price, I brought in my Ovation celebrity that I had picked up used and had some issues. I mentioned needing the guitar back asap for a our next upcoming series episode and Diego brought this instrument to performing like new as it should in half the time expected. Best experience in a music shop I could ask for. Thank you! Ferenc / Things Forsaken

Great locally owned music store. Always has what we need for the kids music programs. Have seen the owner attend many of the Frederick County Public Schools Band programs. Always friendly and helpful staff.

This is an amazing store with wonderful customer service. I won't go into a ton of details about my personal circumstance, but suffice to say Eric (the owner) is an incredible person who really cares about helping people. I am a music "newbie" and had a major issue with a used instrument, and Eric graciously helped sort the issue out even though he definitely did not need to.

I would rate this store 10 stars if I could, and am definitely going to come back for any repairs, rentals, or purchases in the future. I have had other friends buy instruments from here and they all also loved their purchases. Please support this store--they deserve it! THANK YOU ERIC!

Selection is pretty good for slightly above the dirt cheapest beginner stuff. Great for a quick stop for strings in a pinch. Friendly staff, but The kid at the counter won't ever leave me alone and it has made me leave a few times bc I didn't feel like having him breathing down my neck while I was trying to shop. I thought it was really odd that they made me give them a ton of personal info for a squier.

Excellent service when I desperately needed an amp with microphone in a pinch. The saleman was so kind and helpful on the phone and in person. Thank you for having good old fashioned customer service.

The staff was very nice and not that pushy. I had very bad guitar amplifier and stopped by to find a new one. They helped me find the one that was right for me. Did I mention how affordable it was? They wiped down a guitar so I could borrow it to test the amp, and to my surprise, it was set up! It played amazing right away! The staff was very nice and would answer all of my questions.

They were very professional and knew the specifications of their products(unlike when I bought my first guitar at music and arts. They didn't even know the color and forgot the accessories it came with). Overall, this store is great. Great products, great service, I wish I could rate it 6 stars! I really hope it doesn't close any time soon because I plan on returning!
