From the reviews
I brought in an older guitar that had some problems. I didn't want to invest a lot of money unless I knew it was going to be playable at the end of the repair, and Willamette Valley Music was willing to work with me on this, while other shops were not.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The heartbeat of our music journey—amazing people, service, and community feel Willamette Valley Music Company has been an essential part of my son Dom’s music journey.
They have a wide range of instruments and accessories. They are very professional and knowledgeable. Their store is always clean and well organized without a bunch of intruments cluttering access. Rental options are flexible and fair priced with convenient payment options.
We rented an Alto saxophone for our 10 year old from them and we have had great customer service. Any issues with the instrument, and they gladly take the time to look and make repairs promptly so our Son is back in band with a working instrument ASAP.
Lessons at Willamette Valley Music Company
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Willamette Valley Music Company. 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.
