Discovered displaced by accident back in May when I drove through the area upon missing a couple exits on my way to Naperville. The guy at the front desk is so nice. This place also has a lot of things that don’t seem to be offered at the music stores that are closer to my home, including mint, flavored vocal spray, which is perfect for me as a singer. my discovering this place was serendipitous, but still meant to be. Will come back every chance I get. It’s always the further away music places that have everything.
I've been putting off taking my old baritone ukulele in, thinking it needed new tuners due to slipping. The young man, who seems to always be there, took one look, said the way I wound the strings may be the problem. He re-wound them, and no more slips! Trust them to share their knowledge, give honest estimates, and complete the best repairs. They are the best.
Highly recommend this store if you're trying to get back into playing music. I came looking for a guitar that Id be using to learn/play blues, and a book to teach me the basics. I left very satisfied with my Gretsch G5655TG!
William had lots of patience and answered all of my questions regarding guitar sound, body builds, music lessons and equipment.
