I love shopping here. Really I enjoy not just shopping but the feeling of having friends that relate with on music. Always straight forward about all my questions. If you have not been here Im telling you go there. As a drummer I can be impatient when wanting things but they are right there with me and make it easy.

Dave, Pat, and Joe always do excellent work. There is no one I trust more with my instruments. I bought my first bass from Dave, and will continue to be a loyal supporter. They always have what I need, and even have what I didn’t know I wanted.

I brought my saxophone in to be repaired and they were lovely to work with. Wonderful communication, final price was less than the estimate, and my instrument works beautifully! Couldnt ask for a better experience. They may be the only game in town, but they take care of business! Thanks again!

Great price on rental trumpet. And texting feature (with a human) was helpful in finding out how long it will take to ship to school. Thankful for the ship to school option, takes one thing off my to do list.

Great experience! Mark was able to get my daughter’s viola fixed right up. Then, he helped us upgrade her guitar to one that was more suitable to her size and ability. Very knowledgeable staff. Also, if they don’t have something in stock they will get it for you.

Went to The Music Mart to order my daughters (6 grade) 1st Clarinet for School Band, the staff was very helpful in dispelling common myths and missunderstandings, the Staff were all very easy to work with, and even when pressed about upgrades and accessories they were very comforting and confident that those purchases should wait a few years or as necessary instead of right now...with out being rude about it...overall an excellent experience and to top it off we were given exactly what my daughter will need and want without any attempts at over selling or upselling anything.

My grandson has been coming in and looking at the keyboards for almost a year. He was trying to decide which keyboard he liked or which stand he like better or which chair. We went in at least once every two months. Each time we were greeted with enthusiasm and a smile. And each time we were given great customer service and any questions we had were answered. There was never any pressure in buying at that time. Today we were finally able to purchase everything and they helped box it up and take it out and put it in the car. Great store and great employees. Thank you

There’s a good selection without being over or underwhelming.I’ve bought a used guitar that I enjoy a lot, an acoustic guitar amp, and shakers.Check it out if you’re nearby.

Review №44

We went in not knowing what to expect from Music Mart. They had Great reviews online, yet we had already tried Schmitt Music with Not good results for a purchase. When greeted at the door (we called ahead) we knew we were in the right place! Looking for a specific bass guitar for novice we were shown Exactly what we wanted! We also got a demonstration and tried out with best results. The amp purchased was also Exactly what we looked for. Id say that being closer to the Cities, so many places arent carrying inventory for novice or Otherwise, we will make the drive to Music Mart next time, anytime! 🎼🎶🎸

They were very helpful, friendly, and quick to reply with my questions regarding piano method books. With so many orders going online these days, this business still does face-to-face sales the right way!

I believe the salesperson who helped was somewhat overwhelmed by the the entirety of our visit. She was delightful and very patient. We probably gave her a run for the money, but she was well informed and eager to help. We think she is awesome. We also got exactly what we came the store to purchase.

I can’t say enough good things about The Music Mart. We leased a violin for 3.5 years and they took very good care of us - such as replacing strings and sizing up to the next violin when needed.When it was time for our student to size up to a full size violin, Pat walked us through the process of choosing a violin and even delivered the brand new violin to our home.We know that if our other children decide to join orchestra, we won’t hesitate to lease through The Music Mart.

Music Mart Rochester has one of the best guitar techs around.If your a beginner or an advanced musician guitarist. Doesnt matter the skill, they treat you like a pro and will steer you in the right direction on your purchase needs. Swing in and try it before you buy it, you wont be disappointed.

I have been bringing in all manner of “ orphaned and “ donated” instruments to the Music Mart for repair and ongoing maintenance for as long as they have been in existence.( And let me say, that some of those “orphans” presented real challenges to the repair/refurbishing staff!!)Each and every one of them has been returned to me completely ready to issue to another aspiring musician!!I have consistently found this establishment to be customer oriented, helpful in anyway I had need, and professional in the work they have done on everything I dragged in![This would include: autoharps; brass & wind instruments; & all manner of stringed instruments. (Pssst!-They have yet to see the antique bass drum which will be coming their way in the near future….. but I am confident that it, too will be back in service by the time they have completed its refurbishing!!😇)].In my opinion, they have consistently asked a fair wage for the services they provided me thru the years.It goes without saying, that I will continue doing business with this company as long as I have instruments to rescue and maintain!Sincerely, Kait Klammer-2nd violinist for the MankatoSymphony Orchestra

I rented my daughters equipment through the music mart and it could not have been easier! I did everything online via their text messaging system. It was super slick they helped me get everything lined up and I could not have been happier with a customer service and how fast it happened. Immediate response via text messaging was so helpful. Kept everything safe and ready for pick up at location! I’ll definitely be back!

The Music Mart is our go to music supply store in Mankato. We have purchased a clarinet from them through our school district and have continued to shop there for various supply needs & books for the last couple of years. They are always very well stocked with various options in different price levels. The staff are always very helpful and pleasant to interact with & have a vast knowledge if I have a question (which I usually do!).

It was the best service I’ve ever gotten, I went in looking for a violin and Dave and Jessica helped me find just the right one for me in no less than 24 hours and the violin wasn’t even at their Mankato store. Extremely helpful and even lowered the price more than they needed to with the discount they’re running right now. They are a great place and I would recommend Music Mart to anyone that is looking for anything even remotely musical.

Review №87

Called a week before school started, feeling kind of panicky about securing an instrument for my child. The service is top notch and it was so easy to jump online and get it taken care of. I was so pleased that once you select your school, they already know what book is needed and they will deliver the instrument and book right to school on the first day of band class. And so affordable!

Went in to see if if hubby could use new strings for his new electric guitar and to purchase a book of music. They didnt even really know that much about strings or really have much stock. They were also about 75 percent more in cost than another local music store for the strings or to bring it in to have it checked out.
