“Everything a great music shop should have! Non pushy, prompt service from musicians not salesmen! Wide selection of all products in store to demo, touch and feel! So much more of a personal experience than you ever get from buying from a faceless internet company.”

“Good products and excellent service, could do with drum school discount being on drum equipment, also same products are cheaper at other local stores, so could do with a price match scheme.”

“Delivered exactly on time and at an excellent price. Guitar was slightly different from the one I thought I ordered, and they haven't yet responded to my mail saying as much, but overall pretty good. So four stars now, five if they make the requested replacement.”

“Ordered a snare drum that was in stock with the supplier on Saturday. Martin said it would be delivered to me the following Friday. The snare was delivered in perfect condition, 2 minutes after I got home from work on Friday :)”

“I don't like offering negative reviews, but sometimes you have to. I ordered a tone potentiometer from this company; they sent the wrong type (You had one job to do?). Just prior to my order they had '3 available' (I always take a 'Snipping tool' screen shot of my purchases) - my purchase would've meant that 2 would still be available. Naturally, my wrong item would have to be sent back (sigh), but when I tried to re-order the correct item they had none left... .. Someone had bought the last two. If you notice below the amount available, you'll see how many have been sold; click-on this link and it tells you the last 7 buyers. So, they sent me the wrong item but were unable to replace it with the correct one as they'd sold both remaining ones. Bad-luck? probably, but they HAD ONE JOB TO DO. Luckily, I wasn't in a hurry for the pot, I therefore ordered it elsewhere, cheaper, and waited around 2 weeks for delivery - but too-bad if you have an important gig coming up and you need it pronto, eh?”
