"Genuinely the nicest experience shopping here. The staff were so friendly and spent a good deal of time (unhurried time!) helping me and explaining everything to me so I could choose the right items for my setup. If there were more than 5 stars to give they would get them all."

Ginny Gallegos

★★★★★

"The highly professional and helpful staff here are just outstanding. As a music teacher myself, I know I can always find great advice and high quality products. This is my one-stop-shop for all things music on the Central Coast."

Vivienne McLaren

★★★★★

"Came through looking for a guitar. Chris was run off his feet serving multiple customers but still kept checking in with me and pulling guitars down left right and centre for me to get a feel for. His expertise made the whole process comfortable and I was able to return later that same day and buy the guitar Chris helped me select. Great service and will definitely be back."

Luke Minato

★★★★★

"We rushed in with a minor guitar emergency (major according to the 10 year old) and were sorted in about 5 mins. Lovely staff, excellent customer service. Will be back."

Lisa Hendy

★★★★★

"Excellent service! I ordered this morning and the product is already on its way to me via courier. Their friendly staff are always willing to go the extra mile in sourcing music for their customers. Strongly recommend this music store."
