From the reviews
Really great place to buy music instruments in Champaign. Very affordable prices and friendly staff. I’m really happy with the acoustic guitar I bought.
The place was fantastic. It’s old school music store. Ben is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Good selection of guitars.
Installed a K&K Pure Mini pickup on my acoustic guitar. Great service, really like the pickup. No quack!
Got a bass bag and some strings. Still using the 4 channel mixer/amp I got from them a few years back.
Lessons at Corson Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Corson 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.
