The owners were extremely generous, helpful, and kind! I came in for the first time today to find some new tuner pegs and strings for my ukulele. They had juuuust barely ran out of stock, so they offered to order them and repair my ukulele for me for a very great price! Renae even recommened/offered me some nice colored strings that matched the design I'd painted. They are so attentive and detail oriented, I'll be coming here for all of my instrumental needs in the future! They even offer group music sessions that I can't wait to be a part of!

I remember Maytan Music, there on S. Center. I bought strings there in the 1990s. I've noticed they've closed. I'm going to need strings again soon and don't feel like having to go way down to the south meadows, or south Wells avenue. I've been using D'Addario, bronze, medium gage, on a Gretsch Chromium 2 Streamliner; G-2420....2019. I'm playing through a Fender Champion 50X with a computer for multiple sound affects. I will definitely be in, soon enough, if not later hunting strings... eventually.

Just happened across this hidden jewel of a music store while trying to find a parking space in Midtown. Wow! What a find it was! They have so many different acoustic instruments in in stock that it was totally fun to look around at everything. Of particular interest to me were their harmonicas, and they have a better selection than any shop I've visited in years! From high-end Seydels, Suzukis and Tombos to entry-level and inexpensive blues harmonicas, they have a great selection! They also have a great selection of Ukuleles(from Soprano to tenor), and they are all reasonably priced. There are also some very eclectic and interesting folk instruments, and I appreciate them promoting this fading genre of music. So today I have recovered from my (positive) shock in discovering this musical heaven, and am letting you know that, if you are into any kind of acoustic music...or if you've had an interest in anything about it, MMP is a must-visit music shop. I should add that the owners Renee and Don are the most friendly, informative, and welcoming store owners I've crossed paths with in a long time. Wonderful.
Nate Im not gonna say that,
Small business that's better then the big stores. They had a dog (which I loved) and the whole store was filled with unique decorations and instruments. I ended up getting a violin from them, it was great quality for what I paid for. I added a photo of the violin, and they were able to give this to me WITH CASE for only $400. The big stores like absolute music were charging $800 for a used violin without a case, so its absolutely worth it to come here. Not only that, the people running the store were very nice, offering us lemonade while we were talking and so much more. Cannot express this enough, come here if your looking for really any instrument. Even if they don't have it, you wont regret coming here.

This is the greatest place in the West for music! There aren't many brick and mortar establishments left and we are very fortunate to have this one. Music of all types, very friendly folks and a whole lot of fun. Pretty much whatever your musical taste, you can sit down and join in, learn and enjoy.
