From the reviews
Can't beat this place. Staff is helpful, very knowledgeable.. won't steer you wrong. Good prices! We bought used Bach trumpet here.. excellent experience. Great selection of sheet music & other accessories. It's near Ithaca College (great music school). Stop at Purity ice cream for a local treat afterwards..
Hickey's is my go-to place for music gear and supplies. Staff are very friendly when I need additional information. Most times I just order on their webstore because it is easy to find everything I need (and they ship to Canada for a very reasonable price). Keep up the great work!
Hickey's has been a wonderful place ever since I was a kid. Time and time again the staff are friendly and resourceful, the store is well equipped for your musical needs. I encourage a visit if you have interest in music, at any level.
Hickey's Music Center is a great place to purchase instruments, music, supplies, and any other products related to music. Chuck DePaolo and his staff are welcoming and really know the music business. All your questions will always be answered promptly. Their inventory offers the very best products on the market today.
Lessons at Hickey's Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Hickey's 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.
