From the reviews
We came in with lots of questions about our accounts and instruments at the Davenport location. Both KMCK and Dana did an amazing job. She did all the paperwork with getting our accounts in order and helping to finance for a cello purchase.
I used to go to West Music in Moline and the experience with these folks in Davenport is just the same. Great people that want to share the gift of music with everybody. I took my Martin in to get adjusted slightly and Mark was excellent. He adjusted the truss rod and had me out quick.
The staff is so knowledgeable and willing to help. We got all of the percussion mallets we needed in one trip with the exception of 1 optional set, but that was able to be ordered online. Quality brands available, quality service. We will definitely go back for more percussion needs.
Wonderful service with a smile! I brought in an emergency handbell repair, a service tech made some adjustments within a few minutes, and I walked out with my repair done at no charge! Thank you very much for your great customer service! Bethany Lutheran Church, Woodhull
Selling or trading gear at West Music Davenport
West Music Davenport 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 West Music Davenport
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at West Music Davenport. 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.
