Mc Clellan Music House(716) 886-5902

Brand new lesson rooms are a HUGE step up from the dump we used to use. All of the rooms have a live video feed to the comfy couch in the showroom. I can relax, use the free internet, and glance up to see my daughter get her guitar lesson. I actually look forward to a half hour of peace and

We have taken 2 instruments in there over the past 3 yrs. Both they said need a complete overhaul, ($220, and $400) got them both fixed elsewhere for $40 each. Flute to flute specialist, and sax at Meridian winds. Oh and be really careful when you buy something, tried to return some reeds

Well, I give the store a -1 score because the owner treated us bad and didn't care about our child not being able to carry the heavy case included in the rental. He insisted in talking over me, interrupting and verbally pushed us around. We were there to rent a drum and wanted a soft, backpack

Sold us a piano long distance. It was advertized as like new and pristine. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS INDIVIDUAL. They are not to be trusted and are full of excused. We asked for a 5% refund on the purchase to cover costs of damage only. Piano Mill would not help at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, piano
