From the reviews
My favorite thing about this place is that you won't find any pushy salesmen who try to pressure you into buying stuff you don't need. Just good honest deals for a fair price.
This is a real gem of a guitar shop. I play classical guitar and the selection of classicals was fabulous. The owner , Paul, knows his instruments and is a musician, composer, guitarist as well. What a great shop!!!! Joe Rothenberg Lapaz Director Son de Cuba
I cannot recommend Rock Island Sound in Terrytown highly enough! My nephew and I recently visited with the goal of finding the perfect classical guitar for him to rent, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. The star of the show was Paul, the owner.
I ventured into the Tarrytown store late on a Saturday evening. The owner Paul was so very helpful. I found a great selection of pedals and selected two of the Noble's petals. They are excellent.
Lessons at Rock Island Sound
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Rock Island Sound. 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.
