From the reviews
Had a great experience with Alex on getting my daughter’s flute repaired. He was very kind, honest and helpful. I was very surprised and happy when her flute was repaired in less than half the time they had expected. Pricing was very fair as well.
Excellent customer service, fair pricing, and repairs completed ahead of schedule! Best place for all Instrumental needs or wants!
Had my grandson's clarinet general repair..the whole works...he played it when he got home...much easier to get a nice tone. Thank you for having it done in a timely time so he could have it for band when he returned to school after holiday break.
Very knowledgeable staff, INCREDIBLY friendly. I had many unrelated questions and requests regarding instrument repair and getting setup to play regularly again, and they answered and resolved each one with genuine interest. Repair estimates and process was fair and easy to navigate.
Lessons at Johnstonbaugh's Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Johnstonbaugh'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.
