From the reviews
I had a clarinet case handle that needed to be replaced. After not being able to find a suitable commercially available replacement, Dave, the Instrument repair technician took it upon himself to personally custom make a case handle to match my clarinet case. It works perfectly.
The staff at Creative Music are knowledgeable and super accommodating. When I leave my instruments with Morgan Eve I can trust that they will receive quality repair work. They also pick up and return instrument right to my classroom, which is invaluable.
Very nIce, clean and well stocked store. All the staff members have a lot of knowledge about music, instruments, and repair work. They have Reasonable prices for instrument repair. If Dave can’t fix it no one can!
I am very pleased to post this review for Creative Music. A few days ago I brought my granddaughter’s saxophone to Creative Music for repair. In preparation for the start of school, we realized that the instrument was in need of repair.
Lessons at Creative Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Creative 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.
