From the reviews
This place is awesome. I have brought my kids' viola and violin to this place for repairs over the past few years. Every time I go in, I'm helped right away. The staff is fantastic, and really know their stuff. They really go above and beyond to be helpful. Our instruments come out sounding perfect when they're done.
KC Strings was fantastic! We were in the market for a new violin for our daughter. We had been to a couple of other places but KC Strings was the best by far. The prices and selection were terrific. They gave us a good deal. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to purchase or rent an instrument.
My viola student damaged his shoulder rest today. The shop was able to IMMEDIATELY answer questions over the phone, find the repair pieces in the shop, and help the student off to rehearsal in a matter of minutes! That personalized expertise is something you cannot get from online retailers. Awesome job, KC Strings!
Very great instruments, they let you play the instruments and have practice rooms, and have good prices. Recommend if you want to buy strings instrument
Lessons at K.C. Strings
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at K.C. Strings. 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.
