What's on the wall
“Walked in with the expectation of buying a cheap electric guitar and amp setup.”
“Ken "The Doctor" of amp and all things guitar for over 50yrs has always been amazing!”
“Thanks to the knowledgeable staff we learned proper bow maintenance and if you know how much it costs to restring a violin bow, this information is priceless!”
“They have helped us to find the right size instrument, walked us through proper maintenance, and even helped us find the perfect instructor when we thought we never would!”
“My child received the first violin there and they do a buy up so when the violin is too small we can exchange it for the next size up and only pay the difference!”

From the reviews
Great place to go for all your music needs. From the owner to all of the knowledgeable staff, we personally, will not go anywhere else. My child received the first violin there and they do a buy up so when the violin is too small we can exchange it for the next size up and only pay the difference!
I repair stringed musical instruments but I do not know the first thing about repairing wind or brass instruments. I managed to ruin my son's trumpet in my attempt to free the mouthpiece that was stuck. Bandman was able to repair my son's trumpet, and the price was what I felt like was very fair.
My first time here. I stopped in with some questions about getting a saxophone repaired. I also needed a Martin Guitar label for my son's school project. The staff were awesome! They answered my questions and had a label for us! I was really impressed with the guitars they had on hand for sale as well.
Walked in with the expectation of buying a cheap electric guitar and amp setup. After them being extremely knowledgeable and helpful I ended up with a great deal on an authentic Fender strat. These guys really know their stuff and are very helpful and patient. I would highly recommend them for all your guitar needs.
