From the reviews
Was visiting Lex for a day trip and thought I’d bring my guitar along to get the strings replaced. When I first brought my guitar in, he said it would be ready in about 3 days, which didn’t work for me. When I told him we were just visiting today, he said he would see what he can do...
Our family has shopped at Hurst for years. My son started playing violin in elementary school and we rented his instrument through Hurst. When I asked if they could point me in the right direction for private violin lessons, they put me in touch with Dr. Ceo.
Hurst Music (in addition to attributes like great location and exceptional customer service) is THE BEST place for the vast majority of instrument repair in the state - period. Band instruments and orchestra instruments and the like, you will simply not do any better.
Hurst Music has a very knowledgeable staff that students and band directors have been using for years in Lexington. Many of their staff are former educators and band directors. They know school music! They also have the best band and instrument repair in the state.
Lessons at Hurst Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Hurst 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.
