Taylor Music

My experience has been nothing but super top-notch from the very beginning. My dad bought my first trumpet used from Taylor Music back in the late 70's. I still have that horn and am now using it to help one of my sons get started. The Bach trumpet I used in college at SDSU in the 80's came from Taylor. And since then, we have rented instruments for our younger kiddos as they've experimented with instrumental music.

Some stuck with it, others didn't; and it was nice to be able to return the instruments instead of having to try and sell them ourselves. The reception/office/finance staff is super-friendly and helpful. I can't think of a single negative experience. The repair department is also awesome - especially when it comes to getting student instruments done quickly so they can have them for class and performances. I'm sorry I can't give a thousand stars.

Had a great experience in the store in the rental of my sons Viola. Had a string put in that broke at no cost. Excellent, professional, and caring repair technicians in house. Huge and complete shop in the downstairs to operate on wood, brass, or percussion.

Very helpful staff, seems like a great selection of inventory, staff knowledgeable about school music departments in the area, quick friendly service.

I usually try to buy my musical instruments locally if possible, but because of the lack of any decent shops in the area I looked online. Larger companies like Woodwind-Brasswind don't offer the level of customer service as smaller shops, luckily I found Taylor Music! These guys are absolutely five-star when it comes to customer service and the products they offer.

I originally bought an instrument from them a year ago that had a complete overhaul done and when I received it, I could tell the quality of workmanship was the best of quality, bar none. More recently, I reached out to the repair department in search of various musical instrument parts. Paul was very pleasant to deal with; he got me what I needed for a good price and the shipping was quicker than UPS thought it would be. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with their customer service, reasonably-priced offerings, and quality of workmanship and wouldn't hesitate purchasing from them again, even if they are 1,500+ miles away (I'm in NY).

Fantastic repair shop. As a collector of horns I have had many cornets and trumpets repaired by them to a like new condition. "The Best" people to work with. Thanks BOB! Ron Redding

Just received and unwrapped my new Yamaha YSL-448G Trombone which I ordered via Amazon. It arrived a day earlier than expected. I'm thrilled! Thank you Taylor Music for the great service. Thank you! Bertie in San Francisco

Very knowledgeable staff and great selection for beginner to experienced musicians. If you have a student starting band they can help and if band turns out to not be for you then they return fairly.

We had a pretty severe repair that required a short turn around time and Bob completed it with in the time frame he said he would and the repair is perfect. He is an outstanding service technician. Aberdeen is very fortunate to have such a gem of a music shop.

Renting my 10 year old daughter's Cello from Taylor's Music service is so easy to work with and Sizing up was easy too! I was telling my friend about the great service and she said they were renting 3 instruments from them and has also been so please with the service! They are easy to work with and speedy!

Very friendly people working there. I loved that we got a tour of the facilities while someone else was calculating the trade in value of the instruments I brought with me. The pricing on the used instruments was fair and competitive to some other companies. I thought it was incredible that they could take in a "dead" instrument and make it look brand new. Their process is thorough. I would highly recommend them for your next instrumental needs.

I had a 30 year old beat up trumpet shipped to Taylor music for an econo overhaul. It turned out beautiful. It exceeded my expectations. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Bob in service was so helpful and walked me through each step since I live hundreds of miles from SD. I would highly recommend using Taylor music. This is coming from someone that never stops to write reviews!
