From the reviews
I came here to get an XLR cable after forgetting to get one at Guitar Center, and I'm so glad that I did. This is THE spot. The shop owner is awesome and enthusiastic- he went out of his way to help me find what I was looking for and even offered to order some stuff for me.
Excellent local music shop. Lots of instrument knowledge regarding both repair and new options. Super easy to deal with and very reasonable. They've done sax, clarinet, and trumpet work for me with excellent results.

Ed, the owner is amazing. A wonderful soul. He treats his store more like a museum than a store. But will help you with a purchase whenever need be. He deals in the odd ball stuff which makes it so much cooler than your average music store.
Lessons at Clearwater Valley Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Clearwater Valley 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.
