From the reviews
This is the place for everything instruments! I'm minutes from a Music Shoppe and made the drive over an hour to go to Chesnut Family Music. I brought my daughter's saxophone in for a "mysterious" repair issue and Jordan had it figured out instantly! Their team is knowledgeable and friendly... well worth the drive!
The staff is always friendly and helpful! We have 4 kiddos in band and we can find everything we need here or they can get it quickly! They are quick with repairs (if needed) hands down the best place for your music needs! We have gotten 2 french horns, a clarinet, and just today an alto sax!
Glad I was told about this place. Great people. Great service. Jordan is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of sound and eletronics. This will be my go to place for any of my guitar or amp repairs or upgrades. Just by talking to him, I could tell he knew his stuff.
My father recently passed and I was lucky enough to get one of his guitars. It needed new strings and bridge pins and Chestnut music replaced and restored to a great condition at a very reasonable price.
Lessons at Chesnut Family Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Chesnut Family 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.
