From the reviews
Fantastic place. Great experience every time. I phoned up a couple of days ago asking about guitar strings. Mr. Pete told me to bring it in and he cleaned and restrung it for me. As a beginner this was extremely useful and my guitar sounds absolutely amazing now. Thank you again.
Don't let the size of the storefront fool you, Schmeeds is an amazing store with a broad selection of instruments, and knowledgeable people that can help you with your instrument needs.
My son needed a French horn, we found it here. Perfect, brand new! But talking to the store owner was a delight. He explained all about the different ways we could achieve get the instrument either for rental or for purchase. There was no pressure, no gimmicks.
Pete is a caring, honest and friendly owner who is a pleasure to deal with. Had my first bass set up by his tech and it plays beautifully. When I bought my second used one, brought it for a set up and he said there was nothing wrong with the strings, just tweaked the action on it and said it was a good purchase.
Lessons at Schmeeds Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Schmeeds 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.
