We were here for a recital. My youngest were a little too noisy, so I had to leave the room. The employees were very kind and showed me a couch area to be with my kids. Sometimes, small kindnesses shows you what kind of store it is, in this case caring and personal.

Had a great experience at this shop and walked away with a beautiful digital piano for a fair price. One of my happiest/most exciting purchases ever! I was making a tough decision between digital pianos and weighted keyboards. Had done a ton of internet searching but just couldn't decide what I wanted. Decided I'd go to Schmitt and take a look around. Was fully WILLING to walk away with a piano, but wasn't necessarily fully EXPECTING to. Staff was excellent and not pushy at all.

They go the extra mile. A big thank you to the staff at Brooklyn Park Schmitt Music! Teenage grandson received grandma's guitar. We bought new strings. The staff educated him while they replaced the old strings. Lots of great tips from the staff person who plays guitar and loves music!

I owe these folks a few positive reviews. I played piano as a kid, took 40 years off and started playing again. A few years back, for a retirement gift, I bought myself a Kawai CA95 digital piano - love it. Sue Freeman Dopp helped me find just what I wanted at a great value. Been playing ever since. I also played alto sax in school, took 50+ years off on that one and bought myself a nice used Yamaha. Took it to the Brooklyn Center repair center a couple of times for adjustment which they did on the spot.

Great service, nice folks. If you played when you were younger, but don't play now, go see the folks at Schmitt and give it a try again. Or, if you're lucky enough to be young now - I still recommend them.
