My experience here was awesome! I needed the mouthpiece removed from my son's trumpet, it's a rental from a place in Vancouver. I walked in, Mark walked up to me said "uh oh" but knew exactly what to do. He was gone for may 7 minutes tops and came back with a fixed trumpet. Explained what he did and what probably happened. I asked him how much and he jokingly said $20,000 just put it in the mail. It was so nice! I shook his hand and left so happy to get my son's trumpet back to him in time for his concert coming up. What a great store!

Nate is extremely professional, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and honest. Had a Banjo set up and re-strung recently. Had some bridge-pin holes on 2 acoustics reamed to fit larger bridge pins. Bought some Ebony button Tuning knobs from store for my Guild D-55 all with no issues whatsoever. Go support these guys as they should be your one stop shop for local repair, setup, and instrument needs.

Came here a few weeks ago to rent my daughter an instrument for band. They were extremely helpful in making sure we had everything we needed without being overwhelming or charging crazy amounts. So far we've had zero issues with the instrument and look forward to continuing doing business with them.

They are chill people. Nice and not very talkative but chill. My daughter is renting a trumpet, great option before she decides to buy as she is new to this instrument. For $18 a month for minimum 3 months she gets to learn the Trumpet and decides if she enjoys it. We may buy from MIR in the future if they take care of us.

We came in thinking about an electric guitar for my son they took the time to understand what we wanted, show us several choices, talk about the pros and cons and gave advice about all the other stuff like straps and amps, lessons and instruction books, . We were not pressured to buy. We took a week to think and research and were excited to come back. Super friendly and helpful.

My kids have been taking lessons at Mir Music for 2 years now and we couldn’t be more satisfied. We’ve rented instruments, purchased new instruments, and brought in used instruments for repair. Jack and staff are always knowledgeable and friendly and the prices are fair. They know instruments and they know sound. Hard to believe this gem of a store is located right here in Hillsboro.

WOW! very rude teacher very hostile and negative. Would NEVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. I normally would not write a review but WOW the voice teacher was very mean to me because I told the front desk that she was 10 minutes late for our 30 minute session and for that I was leaving for the day. Then she had the nerve to give my time slot to a different person and send hostile text messages! Might I add i was not mean or rude to her AT ALL. I will not put her name on here for her privacy but DO NOT TAKE VOICE LESSONS HERE!

The owner of Mir is super kid friendly! Our class made a visit to local businesses in downtown Hillsboro and the children were welcomed in by Mir Music, invited to try out several instruments and all questions were answered. If you are in the market to purchase or rent an instrument for your child, Mir Music is a wonderful neighborhood resource!

The man here was so helpful, and really cared about us as customers! (You could tell). I came to buy a percussion drum, and saw one that I loved, but was hesitant. He helped me learn about how it's tuned, how to care for it, and how often to change the top of it. His knowledge of it was amazing. There was a discount going on, so he was very generous with it, and the drum even came with a case -- Great price! Although it is lightly used, it was very reasonable! Thank you for the help!

This place is a joke, I purchased a Saxaphone from them a few months ago and it was a display. I had little knowledge about instruments, and basically depended on the shop to give me some insight. I decided to purchase the instrument because I looked at the cost of rental and it just made more sense to purchase. Anyway, after some research I realized that I should have had the neck strap, pad saver, and a few other items and a case.
I went to the store and asked about the items that were not included and the owner gave me cork grease and a cleaning cloth. I asked for the pad saver and his response was, " No that's more than I'm willing to part with, " and he walked away. Extremely negative, and clearly, he had no time for me especially since he already had my money. Sadly, since I have mentioned this to others, most also have nothing pleasant to say and strongly encourage me to go across the street to the other downtown Hillsboro music store, NOT MIR MUSIC!

What a great shop. In the heart of Hillsboro, you will find just about everything you need for just about any instrument. From beginner to high quality instruments, music toys for the younger set, accessories - stocking stuffers! The owner is extremely knowledgeable about all things music, and every purchase I made there (and there have been many!) I received a discount. It's nice that you can talk with the owner and dicker over the price - can't do that anywhere else that I've been. Our music room is filled with equipment and instruments purchased at MIR. Very satisfied.

I love this little music shop in Downtown Hillsboro. I have rented trombones for my boys when there were in middle school, and later purchased trombones and had repairs on a guitar here. I have always had great service. This little shop has a lot to offer from rental, repairs, lessons and equipment. I love this shop.

I rented an instrument for my son and was told I could use 16 months of the rental money towards the purchase of a regular (not sale) priced item. But, after spending $288 in rental fees the owner, Jack, who couldn't have been more annoyed that I would have the audacity to try to use a rental credit that was so large, wouldn't sell me anything under $500, even if it's regular ticket price was under $500. Plus, every time we did pick out an instrument we liked, only the most expensive brand/item was available for us to buy with our credit, which was generally over $800!!.
None of the lower regular priced items were available to us. When we said this isn't fair he said that, "I have to make money". Didn't he just make $288 off me?? If you don't want to give people the credit for rentals don't offer it to your customers. In my opinion, Jack at Mir Music is scamming people out of their money and it's just not fair. We are all hard working individuals who need our money, not just Jack.

The owner of this hole in the wall is one piece of work. Turns out he's from New York. You can definately tell by his personality. If you like being talked down to like your a piece of crap, then this is the place to be. Ask questions about stuff? He'll barely look up to help you. Treats customers as well as employees very disrespectfully. Prices are too high and not a lot of choice.
Special order, you say? Good luck with that. And forget about walking into this place around closing time. He'll about put his foot in your butt to get you out the door. Walking away from Mir Music, my six year old daughter asked why the music man had to been so mean. I mean, my six year old gets it. Why wouldn't this has-been get it? Want some quality musicical instruments, special ordered stuff or just plain musical conversation?
Walk across the street to Wat'z Up Music (literally a half block and across the street away) and the guy with the cool retro bowling shirts will take care of all your music needs.
