This is the first time I've been to the Music Stop (its now Long and McQuaid) and was very impressed.

First of all the staff really know their stuff.

My son bought a recorder and even though it was just a $10 purchase the staff were helpful and attentive.

We were also looking for some advice on audio and sound equipment, along with some additional cabling and head-sets. Scott in the rental dept. was very helpful and spent at least 30 minutes explaining the best options available to us. We'll probably be spending around $1,600 in total, so we wanted to get some sound advice (no pun intended) before we bought everthing.

Good to have this sort of expert advice at a local music store.

I've purchased many items from here and generally the experience was quite good.

The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because sometimes you really have to hunt down a staff member to get help (and it isn't obvious who works there!). Although, other times the staff are more than eager to help just depends how busy they are.

From my experience the staff are very knowledgeable persons and really know their stuff. I've never had someone try to up sell me something that isn't right for what I need it for.
