Groth Music went above and beyond to accommodate my online order. I ordered a Boatswains Pipe for a Naval Retirement Ceremony, and put a note in that I needed it by Monday, if possible. Phillip called me the next morning to let me know the packaging was a little beat up, and see if that was ok before shipping. When we talked, I also asked him to take a photo of the pipe so I could see if it might need to be soldered before use, and he hooked me up.
It's in the mail, and I just want you to know that the service you will receive is superb, and I am certain they stand behind the products they sell as well. I would 100% pay an extra few dollars every time to support a business like this. Thank you!

Groth Music is hands down the best music store in the Twin Cities area. From instruments and accessories to sheet music and repairs, if they don't have it they'll find it for you, and at a great price too! As a music educator and performing musician I've been very fortunate to work with Bill Golden for many years. Bill is fantastic! He always goes above and beyond to help me find anything I need for my students and myself, and he gets it to me fast and at a great price! The employees at Groth Music are all knowledgeable musicians and they clearly enjoy sharing their expertise to help out their fellow musicians.

Groth had a Yamaha digital piano that is hard to find. Joe Vogel helped me out and got it shipped to me in Texas. It arrived quickly and in great shape and I'm loving it. Recommended!

I have worked with Groth Music as a teacher, and a musician and as a parent. This is a company that is truly brick and mortar. They have products that are available to you in person and a qualified staff that legitimately answers questions with experience. I try to keep my business here because they represent the local music dealer that has the struggle to remain relevany while so many things have gone online.
I still appreciate testing instruments, talking with repair professionals and browsing music physically. Thank you Groth for continuing to be the long-standing local business that has stood the test of time amongst many other music stores that could not weather all of the changes we have seen over the past ten years.

Groth Music is a wonderful store and Jordan is absolutely the best. Today he ran out to our school (25 miles from the store) twice to bring us what we need so our students can keep playing. And this fall he secured us a case of lyres on game day that we forgot to order in advance. He rocks and Groth Music rocks!
