From the reviews
I can’t sing this store’s praises enough. I occasionally rent different instruments for my 3 year old who ADORES music making. The staff is helpful, friendly, and don’t pressure you. They seem to genuinely want you to enjoy music-making, whether you rent, buy, or neither.
Rented a piano here (for way longer than I meant to) but the staff was friendly and super helpful. Their automatic payments make it easy to keep a rental for as long as you need if you're interested in trying out an instrument without investing. They do have parking in the back for easy load in and out of your car.
The staff at the Doo Wop shop were very informative and helpful in helping me chose the right speaker for our event. Upon pick up they gave me a thorough demonstration of how to use the equipment we rented and loaded it into my car for me. The speaker we rented was great and easy to operate. Overall great experience!
Super helpful staff and a dizzying selection of musical instruments for purchase and rent. The staff restrung a banjo for us in about 15 minutes right on the spot. They are locally owned and it's obvious how much they care about their customers, their community, and musicians.
Lessons at Doo Wop Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Doo Wop Shop. 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.
