Putnam Music Center

I have been buying guitars from these guys since 1999 when I was 18 and had been playing for a few years and wanted a 12 string. Still have that Dean12 string, and 3 of my 6 Guitars are from them, and they always have great deals on used stuff. Top notch service and personality plus. Just rented my 5th grade daughter her first violin too (dang I am getting old), and it was a fantastic experience as always. Will be back whenever we need anything as usual. Local business for the win!

The staff here was extremely helpful in resolving my problem repairing my guitar. Thanks Gus, you rock!

This is a fabulous music store! I go there on a regular basis for my music needs. Gus and his staff are the best! I have been frequenting this establishment for many years and have purchased many amps and guitars from Gus, who has always given me exceptional deals on my purchases, Gus is the best! If your needs are in any way musical, this is the store to go to as it has the mom & pop feel and great deals to boot, as well as Gus and staff making you feel comfortable and answering any musical questions you may have!

They were so pretentious and rude! do not fucking go there! they have a lot of good products but the people who work there suck!

Saddened by a saxophone repair : i payed 100$ and little to no work was done to fix the saxophone, when I tried playing it, the saxophone still didn't play right. Big waste of money!

I have been taking guitar lessons for a reasonable rate. They have great deals on instruments and other merchandise as well. I highly recommend this shop and encourage others to check them out. Great staff and extremely helpful.

Small mom and pop shop. smarter than the average bear, cuz they actually have sweet used and vintage pieces I would really really want. in addition to the student stuff (which who cares). They've changed a bit from the first time I went in. Now, they have an additional room with used CDs and vinyl records. So, I can pop in to see what used/vintage acquisitions they got (vintage Martin, Gibson, Fender etc) and dig through the crates. Prices are good for NY, and for a small local store they usually have a few really cool pieces to look at that makes it totally worth it.

The teachers here are fantastic and the place is run so smoothly. Our two young sons have thrived in this environment learning drums with Pete and guitar with Andy. We feel so lucky to have found this incredibly nurturing place for our kids to grow their love of music. Thank you Gus and David for helping us find such great teachers and for being so warm and welcoming every week!

Helpful, flexible, friendly and knowledgeable staff and teachers. My son takes drum lessons from Ed and he likes him a lot. I'm taking guitar lessons from Mike and thank goodness for his patience!

Dropped two guitars (Strats)off for minor set up work. Neither was finished when promised and neither guitar had the work done satisfactorily. Ended up doing the work my self. Won't go back.

I had a good experience there. Went there for a starter guitar for my 8 year old daughter, gentleman behind the counter was very nice and gave us some tips on picking out one. When he didn't have the one we picked out in stock, he took off $40 for the display model, which was brand new, but had a couple of scratches on the neck. He even threw in a couple of picks that matched my daughter's nail polish.

Very helpful, flexible people. Great talented teachers. pete the drum teacher and susanne the vocal teacher.

Go there for all of your musical needs! When you need to purchase music or rent an instrument for your children for school, you will be taken care of by knowledgeable staff, and they will only sell you what you need. They give lessons and friends who have children taking lessons have nothing but good reviews. Everyone who works there is helpful and pleasant.
