From the reviews
I’ve spent a lot of time here as a customer, and it really is a great place. They fix my ancient bassoon quite frequently. I’m glad we have a local repairman for instruments instead of having to travel far and wide in search for one. They also have a variety of equipment and offer lessons for a plethora of instruments.
Staff always super helpful and the selection of music that can be purchased and printed is pretty expansive. Guitar supplies are plentiful and so are the drum and other instrument selections. Bought my dream guitar today - a Taylor 110ce.
Traded in a couple guitars to get one that I've been wanting for some time. The guys were very helpful,knowledgeable and super friendly. I highly recommend C.A. house music in Parkersburg to anyone!!!
I received excellent service from a young man today with long curly hair and glasses. They were out of my usual d'addario nickel bronze strings and he suggested me a VERY good equivalent, martin retro. Even demoed what they sounded like on a guitar that already had them.
Selling or trading gear at C. A. House Music
C. A. House Music comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at C. A. House Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at C. A. House Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
