Excellent customer service! Took my son's clarinet in for repair. Melanie was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Turned out to be a very minor repair. She fixed it immediately at no charge. Highly recommend!

The people at this music store always do a fantastic job. They are professional on the phone and in person and always do an amazing job on instrument repair. And considering the times, they do a really nice job with keeping everyone safe by offering curbside service only, keeping their distance, and giving a wet wipe to clean your hands and your merchandise to make sure you do not get sick.

They also use hospital grade disinfectants on anything that they give you and may need back. I highly recommend this music store to any musician in need of instrument service or repair. In my opinion they are the best in town.

I had a wonderful experience purchasing my daughter's saxophone from Mel Owen Music and they had all of the accessories her teacher required. Quality instruments, reasonable prices and payment plans and friendly customer service. Thank you!

Love this place! Always so kind and helpful. They have repaired several of my daughter's instruments, as well as provided advice and top-notch supplies. We wouldn't take her beloved saxophone anywhere else.

Absolutely THE BEST place to go get musical instruments for orchestra and band. Extremely knowledgeable, able to fix broken instruments. They have an outstanding rental program as well, and will help you decide if renting is better than buying. They have student quality instruments as well as higher end, even some consignments. We don't use their private lesson instructors, so can't rate them, but I did talk to one and thought she was very personable. This is the only place I would recommend to buy instruments.

Mel Owens gives great service. They will fix you up right away. If they can't make you happy they are glad to suggest somebody who might. They have always been able to solve our problems in a half hour or less. The service charge always very reasonable. Wish we had given them all of our business.

In looking for a better cello for my kid, the staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to spend to making sure my kid was comfortable with the process - we never felt rushed or pressured to make a purchase. Also, their options for rent-to-own are very favorable as well. Although we ended up purchasing elsewhere we will likely be back for accessory purchases.

Mel Owen Music is a great, local shop. My son plays the cello, and Mel Owen is the only place for us. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable.

All I wanted was to purchase a new bridge for my violin. I was told i couldn't. I had to have them fit it. They just wanted to waste my time and make extra money. Terrible customer service. I guess ill be purchasing my music supplies online from another retailer.
