Unless otherwise updated, this place is cash or check only.Otherwise it's a reasonable store run by a reasonable owner with reasonable prices who sells reasonable products.It looks like music lessons are done in private rooms as well.Double check instruments to make sure nothing is cracked or dinged. A cheap guitar bought new meant to be used for total strangers to perform on had a cracked bridge. But with the receipt it was refunded without any fuss.

I hope the owner is just a little more careful about damaged products...read full review

Great store for school band needs and grown up music needs as well. Mark is great. Took guitar here as a kid and now my oldest has his trumpet serviced here. Love keeping it local in Solon.
