What Our Customers Say

"I think they're awesome. They've always been helpful, I've always been treated pretty good by them, and they have all the answers that I asked or direct me to who does "

-Johnny K.

"I’ve been a long term customer with West Music. I’m 26, and have been using this store and location the entirety of my life basically! These guys are very helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely care a lot about their customers, and there’s a lot of customers obviously that go here! I have a music business, and I push people to them for their music needs! I’ve never had a complaint. The only thing that has ever kinda not been great was a supply issue that was on the manufacturer, not them. To be honest, the only people who didn’t deal with supply chain issues of any kind the last couple of years must not have bought anything…;) It is definitely a blessing to have these guys in our corner to help service our music needs! Thanks guys!!"

"I'm a piano teacher and visit the store often. I appreciate that they keep a great selection of Piano Adventures Books on hand. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They order all sorts of books for me and call me when my order is ready for pick up. I'm thankful they haven't packed up and moved to a larger community in this age of Amazon and Ebay"
