From the reviews
Last weekend I bought a Gibson acoustic guitar from the folks at this awesome music shop. I dealt exclusively with Max who’s family owns and operates this store and I’ve got to tell you that the level of service I received was nearly unparalleled.
Centre Music House in Framingham is a true gem! It’s not a chain —it has a warm and a community-centered vibe. The owners, Corbit, Max, and their team — including the warm and friendly Jacinta are truly personable, welcoming, and supportive.
I'd give these folks six stars if I could. I moved to Mass from Fla a while back. I didn't mind leaving Florida, but hated to leave behind the repair guy I had come to trust.
Being a student of Centre Music was life changing, and I mean that literally. I was a student from 2002-2012 on two different instruments and this place made me love music so much, it became my career. Even after I stopped taking lessons, I continue to bring instruments to them for repairs.
Lessons at Centre Music House
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Centre Music House. 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.
