I had bass shipped from out of state and as you can guess it looked like Ace Ventura delivered it. Fretboard coming off the neck. Took it to Dale after a lot of running around, he was awesome, got it fixed up and playing great. Fast service, good price. Definitely recommend!

We are currently renting two instruments from SDCME. The instrument quality and customer service are top notch. My oldest daughter has a cognitive delay and takes trumpet lessons with Mr. Aaron. He is amazing with her. She said a doing really well under his tutelage.

I went there with my son to purchase a tenor Sax - Aaron helped us, and was very patient. My son was able to test out a couple of saxophones, as well as a couple of mouthpieces. Aaron really helped him articulate what he should listen/look for in his mouthpieces - We were in the store for 2.5 hours, and never felt like we were taking too long. Aaron and the rest of the staff was very understanding that one has to take one's time when choosing an instrument. Thank you guys for your help. My son is really happy with his sax.

From the owner to the staff I have always been happy with their people, products and services. Friendly people, good quality work and fair prices. Just had a fret job done on my favorite guitar and the work was solid.

Hands down the absolute best music store I've ever been in. Dale and the guys are friendly, professional, and experts at their crafts. I've been going here for 11 years for all my musical needs. They are knowledgeable and well respected by local musicians and the schools they support. You won't be disappointed!

Aaron & Louis were hands down the BEST customer service I've ever received. The amount of patience and expertise they provided in the purchasing of my daughters new trumpet was without doubt, above and beyond. They not only answered ALL questions professionally and with warmth, they both went beyond that to help me find the perfect masterpiece, tell me more in debt about what the trumpet provides, and gave me advice from their personal experiences. Thank you both SO much, it will truly be the best gift for my daughter. You are very much appreciated.

The only place I go in North County for supplies and repair. They have a great selection of reeds and accessories. Also available are some woodwind and brass, plenty of guitar and bass.
