Recently moved to Minnesota and decided to check out this local gem of a shop after driving by it a bunch. Every bit of the experience buying gear from them has been amazing! Super kind welcoming staff, wonderful selection, affordable pricing — they don't push or try to upsell — and their gratitude for their customers is unmatched. Can't wait to go back!

A great local music store, fully stocked with everything a student, hobby musician or professional might need! Incredibly helpful staff. Rent your student's instrument through them and not the big stores!

The kindest service you could get and very knowledgeable. My son bought a viola here, it was slowly slipping out of tune, they tuned it and gave us some suggestions on how to keep it in tune.

They have been great! They offer new and used instruments, rent to own instruments which is great for students, instrument repairs, and lesson rooms in the store that are used for private lessons. The staff is friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend!
