Kennelly Keys Music, Lynnwood

Helpful staff. I wanted to buy a ukulele as a beginner and found a second hand instrument that was high quality but in my budget. 10 out of 10 would shop there again

Wow, I think it's probably the oldest Seattle music store or one of them. Pretty much comprehensive. Guitars, percussion, synths, live sound.

The way music stores should be. Friendly staff and no pressure sales folks. I've dropped my instruments off here for setups and special fret work etc and it's always top notch for a great price. My friends have had the same experiences as well with their custom instruments. Friendly staff that let us demo pedals, amps, guitars etc.

Over the years, I've bought 2 ukuleles, 1 electric and 2 acoustic guitars from American music. Completely satisfied with all 5. Great quality and pricing. No heavy sales tactics. Unless you have any questions, Tom and the crew just--leave you alone. Excellent repair work, friendly and most importantly-- mellow. A very good music store.

Awesome place for guitars, bass, drums, pianos, synths, microphones, and speakers. Customer service was not a hassle and helpful.

Great local music shop. Tyler in guitar repair helped me find the right components so I could replace my guitar electronics and helped me troubleshoot a problem with it. Solid place, solid dude.

Newbie here, Came in to get my any-gig portable guitar truss adjustment (free of charge). Cody did the adjustment and helped with most of the shopping and things I needed to get playing again. He was Super Helpful, Respectful, and Nice. I'm always coming to American Music for my equipment now. I give it 11 Stars!

Great shop. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff who love to chat about gear. Unfortunately, not a lot of cheap gear to try out and purchase. More of a high end shop, but still a great shop nonetheless.

Great store. Got my old guitar restrung and retuned using products I got here and they all worked great. Excellent customer service.

For real customer service and selection there is no better place. Pat F and Thomas went out of there way to make sure I landed on a guitar that I will play for years to come. I couldn't be happier with my American Tele. Will come back soon to grab one of those Eastman's. Huge thanks American Music Seattle Add photosPhotoDelete photo 1

I can't thank American Music enough. I teach piano and voice, and needed a new keyboard. Not only was is selection of keyboards excellent, but they had everything I could have needed in the moment and more. I was so impressed by their fast and professional service, in particular Jacob who helped us today. I will be coming back in future to check out their other equipment.

They helped me out of, or well, I guess INTO a jam (see what I did there?). I am in love with my new Yamaha and can't wait to spend more time there. Bonus: they are taking EVERY precaution for COVID right now. Sanitizers, mask policy, and regular upkeep of cleanings are happening. Thank you American Music for everything. Especially during these hard times, it is wonderful to have access to everything a musician needs.

Thanks Ted for helping me find an electric guitar in my price range, and that I enjoyed playing. I've played a lot of acoustic, but am new to electric, and Ted patiently answered questions, and helped me get a great set up that I'm very happy with.

I don't often post reviews but I had to give a shout-out to American Music. I am a school music teacher, and rented two keyboards from them last Spring. Thomas in the rental department was very responsive, gave me a good price on the rentals and was flexible with the length of the rental term to make sure we had adequate time to practice with the keyboards, which worked great in our pit. Subsequently, I decided to purchase keyboards for future productions, and visited American Music on two different occasions. Phil and Emma in the keyboard department helped me, and both were attentive in helping me find what I needed.

The first purchase involved several special ordered accessories, and Phil kept me posted as the items arrived, and even gave me a call when they received the school purchase order. When I went in to purchase the second one, the store was busy and Emma was due for her lunch break, but she still spent quite a bit of time with me, researching accessory options and searching for the components.

Because the item I needed was out of stock, I ended up buying the floor model and the box was not available. They ultimately gave me a very reasonable price on the item, and loaned me a case from their rental department so that I could safely transport the keyboard home while waiting for the special order case to arrive. Because I mostly work in acoustic orchestral settings, the products sold by American Music are outside of my area of expertise, however when I do need to work with electronic or amplified equipment, I can trust that the staff at American Music will steer me toward the items I need, and rent or sell them at a fair price.

We came here to rent audio equipment for our wedding. The staff was helpful, prices were reasonable, all of the equipment worked great. We were able to enjoy our wedding reception without worrying about the sound. Definitely recommend!

Not only does there not appear to be even a single disabled accessible parking spot in their relatively large parking lot (how is that legal in 2019?), but the store itself is crowded with enough things on the floor that it's very challenging to navigate as a disabled person. They have some nice used and new guitars and keyboards for sale, but it was too much of a challenge to get in and to get around for it to be worth trying.

Best music store in Seattle for.decades! Mike in the drum shop is awesome and so is Terry in pro audio. Forget dealing with the yahoos at GuitarCenter and support an excellent local store instead.

This place is great. I'm not a musician, just a mom shopping around with my 13 year old. These guys were awesome with her, and also answered all my clueless questions. The perfect amount of being available but letting us have our space to check things out. They are just lovely.

Great place to rent PA systems! Easy, friendly service and very affordable! Thomas made the process very easy and we didn't have to drop it back until the next day. Plus, they were flexible about the time.

Short and sweet trip here to purchase some cables for my audio recording equipment but pleasant experience nonetheless. Great friendly attitude by the one of the employees and got me just what I needed. As I checked out this local music shop, I noticed that they have a decent selection of many different musical "categories". Decent acoustic and electric guitar selection, some used stuff, pretty good keyboard and audio engineering equipment, and good pedal selection (I'm sure they can order anything for you here).

If you want to buy local, I would come here. They have a small parking lot and a pretty good selection of most things. Also, the staff seemed nice and didn't jump on me to make a sale, they let me peruse peacefully!

I am a local wedding planner and have been using American Music for sound system rentals for a few years. Each time I've needed to rent it's been such a good experience. Not only has the gear been top notch, the employees (Tomas in particular) has been informative, available for questions and just super helpful all around. It takes a strong and reliable team to make great events happen and I consider American Music rental department to be part of that for my work. Thanks guys!

I really appreciate the staff at American Music and the drum store! They are very helpful, friendly, and go the extra mile to give information. Above all else, I want to thank them (drum store and Manager of the store) for reaching out to me when I left my wallet in the store after making a purchase. You guys rock!

So, I have never gone back here in six years. Not for guitar picks, not for a single pack of strings. A lot of my friends don't either. We call it, joking-but-actually-serious-but-jesus-guys, Misogyny Music. In response to my review years back, the one where I say they don't take women customers seriously? The owner contacted not me, but MY HUSBAND and asked him to confirm "if that had really happened." Annnnnnd offered him a $25 gift certificate. Lol. Joke's on you, American Music! My husband has spent about $900 on music gear in those years. I've spent more than that this month.

Far away the best music store in Seattle. actually Washington. Great guitars, bass, drums, keys, pedals, etc. More than that, the service is the best I have ever experienced. Real musicians working with stuff they love to work with. I can't say enough about them. The best selection, expertise, price and service.

I helped run sound at a wedding recently, and the groom rented all the equipment from here. The prices were really competitive and the gear was top notch. I was honestly anxious about it being loud enough or the wireless mic picking everything up, but the PA provided was perfect for the job.

Drum man Michael tuned up my older Pearl fiberglass Bass drum w/ a new set of Evans heads. Excellent help and very knowledgeable - highly regarded - It's best to buy local. thanks.

If you love rock star wannabes, this is the place to go! I've been to American Music several times recently and each time I received pretty bad customer service.along the lines of "I can't be bothered with you. I've got more important things to do than to wait on you. Don't you know I'm a rock star because I work here"? I didn't know these kind of places existed anymore. It's really kind of ugly. I'm not going back.

Unpretentious and down to earth, this place is my favorite music shop in Seattle. The staff is knowledgeable and they are practical with their recommendations. As a beginning guitar player, I have always received the guidance and help I need without being belittled or feeling stupid. I have never felt obligated to make a purchase and feel comfortable just coming to poke around and ask questions. They have an excellent selection of acoustic and electric guitars and they don't sell crappy accessories. I highly recommend this place for your music needs

Oh man this place had been recommended to me by several other musicians. The sales floor. Man these guys must HATE their jobs. They looked absolutely miserable! Every simple question I asked (I even brought in the contact mic with me), I was given a grunt or a pointed finger as they sulked on their stools. However, on the repair side, Alden is fantastic! Customer service aside, its a stocked and well planned out floor. On the cool side they have an amazing stock of gear.

Fantastic service and attention to detail if you are a millionaire rock star or prominent local hero. If you are not, go to Guitar Center.
