What's on the wall
“We were gifted a instrument and the shop manager did not hesitate to research what it was and give it a good once over to see whether it needed repair.”
“They are a premier woodwind (especially saxophone) specialty shop, and the store it full of all major brands of supplies and accessories for all instruments.”
What players say again and again
“We are non musical parents of a musical child- we are clueless as to the ins and outs and just wanted him set up for college!”
“Was recommended to go see Sarah (the clarinet expert) about purchasing a clarinet for college and she well surpassed expectations.”
“Small, local shop with super knowledgeable and helpful staff.”
From the reviews
I went here to buy my first professional clarinet prior to my college auditions and was very impressed with the service! Sarah, the clarinet specialist, was so helpful and had excellent advice for me regarding my decision.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. They are a premier woodwind (especially saxophone) specialty shop, and the store it full of all major brands of supplies and accessories for all instruments. Many of my friends, students, Professor colleagues and local pros come here.
I took my Miraphone 1292 C tuba in for a cleaning and to have some minor repairs done, and could not be happier with the experience! John did a fantastic job on my tuba, it plays beautifully, and several large dents are now gone.
I have a Buffet R13 that is over 30 years old. I took it to Meridian for some needed work, not sure if it was worth repairing because of its age. Sarah E. did fantastic work on my instrument. It plays better than it has in years. She also made some helpful recommendations that led to a new set-up.
Lessons at Meridian Winds
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Meridian Winds. 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.
