Centre Music House

I had my violin repaired here. Great service and friendly staff.

Last weekend I bought a Gibson acoustic guitar from the folks at this awesome music shop. I dealt exclusively with Max who's family owns and operates this store and I've got to tell you that the level of service I received was nearly unparalleled. The guitar was purchased from their website and the entire interaction took place via phone, email and text.

He sent me details, photos, videos, audio and answered every one of my questions in a polite and professional way (and I can be tedious in these kinds of transactions). He did it all in the most friendly manner. I really felt the locally owned and family operated vibe through this transaction. In the digital age where these kinds of transactions can feel cold and impersonal.

I really got the sense that Max cared about his business and his customer. The small shop interaction really transcended that distant and detached feeling you get from a large online retailer. The kind of service you only really get in person, face to face or at this store online. My guitar was professionally packaged, shipped and arrived perfect in an "as described" condition.

I couldn't be happier with my new Gibson acoustic and this shop. As it's only a state over and I like to travel, my next purchase from them will likely be in person. I will definitely be a repeat customer and you should too. A+++

Great piano lessons for our 5 year old daughter, we have been with Centre Music House for 7 months, starting in person then transitioning online through covid19 shutdown. Max has done an excellent job making sure the quality of online lessons continues to improve and offers technical support. Erin Dilworth is excellent and teaches all ages and is great with children. We have been so lucky to have lessons during a time where we need something to look forward to and offer some structure for little ones to express themselves and grow.

I've been a customer of Centre Music since the mid-1980's, their product knowledge, sales, service and repair are top-notch! Max and Corbitt are two consummate professionals in this industry, and I look forward to being a long time customer!

I can always count on Centre Music for great people and great service. It's been a landmark for longer than I've lived here, and for good reason! I brought my guitar in a few months ago to have the action lowered, which Corbit did for a very reasonable price. I noticed some buzzing and brought it back in, and he fixed it up that day for free. I cannot recommend Centre Music enough, and I look forward to having them around for all my future musical needs.

I recently decided to try to teach myself guitar and needed some basics (guitar picks and a tuner) and since I work at the Staples nearby and have had many wonderful dealings with Max, I knew I had to give my business to this lovely family owned shop. I stopped in on Monday and was greeted warmly. Within just a few minutes I had everything I needed to get started.

The customer service was fantastic. Although I admit that I'm biased (Max is one of my favorite customers) I interacted with Corbitt on this trip and I could tell that there is an authentic love of music and friendliness that is truly an integral part of the business and the family. 10/10 would recommend supporting this local business.

I have been taking guitar lessons at Centre music house for over five and a half years now, and I have only good things to say. The teachers and staff are always professional and kind, and I have gotten a high quality musical education during my time here. I would unhesitatingly recommend Centre music house to anyone in the Framingham area who wants an excellent music education from great people.

I brought my mandolin in to be restringed. I dropped it off on New Year's Eve and they had it back to me on January 2. They did a wonderful job! Very friendly, too. The COVID precautions they have make everything feel very safe.

I highly recommend Centre Music House to anyone who wants to learn how to play a musical instrument. My children learned how to play ukulele here and we have also been taking flute lessons for several years. Everyone in Centre Music House is passionate about music, very helpful and customer service is outstanding. Look no further! This is the BEST place you can find. Bravo to Center Music House for keeping our children musically engaged at this difficult time.

My child takes lessons here, and as far as I know those are going well. My problem is with Centre Music's arrogant management and policies. In particular, they retain the right to cancel a lesson at any time without consequence. In fact, this has already happened MANY times. However, if we miss a lesson, for any reason, even with far in advance notice, we must still pay for the lesson. There are no makeups and no credits given, period. The not so subtle message here is that their time is worth more than our time.

My boyfriend had a beautiful bamboo percussion instrument from Vietnam called a t'rung that his brother had brought back from Singapore. Unfortunately, this instrument needed to be kept in a humid environment, as the rubber bands that secure the bamboo pipes will dry out and break, which is what they did. I called all around looking for someone who could repair this, as I wanted to have it repaired for him for Christmas.

Most places didn't want anything to do with it, but then I called this place, and Corbitt (the owner) said it sounded like an interesting challenge, and he was certainly willing to research it and take a look at it. I brought it in, and not only did he do a superb job of re-stringing it, he changed me a very reasonable rate. Evan was thrilled to see it all restrung come Christmas morning. Thank-you Corbitt. We are going to be lifelong customers!

Center Music has been around as long as I can remember. Both my brother and I had taken lessons there as kids. They sell musical instruments, sheet music, and pro sound gear. This is mainly a music training place and secondly a musical instrument store. They handle alot or rentals as well as sales. So if you are into trying something out, this is the place for you.

Super-cool music store if you need sheet music, band instruments, or lessons. Corbitt the owner is the nicest, most honest guy you'll ever meet. They also have a pretty good selection of guitars and gear that are a step above most run-of-the-mill band-rental music stores. Arthur is a good guitar repairman as well.
