From the reviews
Great experience, renting a PA from Music Complex. Rudy was a huge help & extremely accommodating. Called from NJ to rent for R.I. wedding & set the whole thing up over the phone - texted the day before to confirm the pickup & away we went...
A great place to buy instruments or to take music lessons. The instructors really do care about what they are doing and are great to my children.
Great experience with their version of The School of Rock. The recording session was so much fun. Always have the same or better prices than anyone and, even more important, trustworthy advice. I have taken both bass and voice lessons there. Happy with both! Great location too.
My son has been attending music lessons here for about 5 years. It's great that they have two locations; one in Pawtucket and the other in Greenville. They are a professional group of teachers, and my family highly recommends this place.#localguides
Selling or trading gear at The Music Complex RI
The Music Complex RI comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at The Music Complex RI
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at The Music Complex RI. 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.
