From the reviews
I've been a customer of California Keyboards for many years. Their staff is the best. I've bought a piano, keyboard, flute, and trumpet. Each purchase experience has been top notch. My grandchildren have taken music lessons there as well. Ed is the best piano tuner, and their repair shop is fantastic.
I can't say enough good things about this place and their employees! My daughter rents her violin there and we always get 5 star treatment ! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for anything to do with instruments. The staff always goes out of their way to help us and make sure we are happy when we leave.
Staff went out of their way to assist getting a warranty repair taken care of after we had struggles getting help from the manufacturer. California Keyboards decided to contact the manufacturer for us and arranged to have the materials needed sent to them and took care of the repair.
We went in to talk about options for our 12 year old daughter who decided she wanted to play a flute. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had planned on renting and ended up purchasing a great starter flute at a price we couldn't pass up. They also assisted us in our needs for finding a piano tuner.
Lessons at California Keyboards Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at California Keyboards Music Center. 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.
