    I bought a ~$100 priced guitar back in the Fall and two strings started to sound kinda odd after a few months of playing. I recently brought it in to the Starving Musician and they fixed it for FREE!!!!!!! They're amazing. Shoutout Joe :)

    A friend of mine passed away a few months back and instead of dumping his keyboards at Grey Bears I decided to go to Starving Musician..What wonderful folks who work there..So compassionate of my loss.The keyboards needed much cleaning and probably wouldn't get too much but they still offered me a price..I decided to take only a 10.00 for gas to drive the keyboards down..I would recommend Starving artist to anyone who wants a used or maybe new instrument at a fair price .. I walked out feeling so good about leaving the keyboards in the hands of such wonderful people who really care..Thanks Guys,,
