As always, excellent service. The boys have a really fast turn-around rate and are always professional.
They are, of course, paying me for this excellent review! :-D

I have been to the store a couple of times now and the team are friendly, professional and yet still really down to earth and human. They know their stuff and are eager to help and if they say they are going to do something, they do it! No pushy sales and genuinely want to help.

Highly recommend the music cellar

Two weeks ago John quickly sorted out my flute, returned yesterday to purchase new guitar in part exchange for older one. Received superb help from staff who were knowledgeable , friendly and efficient. They listened to me and provided me with a superb guitar. I’m very happy to have found this shop. Thank you John, Jake and Jason.

Great, friendly and helpful service and advice

We recently bought a saxophone for my daughter. The staff were so friendly and very helpful. We bought the saxophone through school and the Music Cellar made the process very simple. The saxophone was delivered much more quickly than I expected.
I was also given good advice about insuring the instrument.
One very happy daughter and Mum!

Knowledgable, very helpful, friendly-what more could you want?

John helped me out with the purchase of an amazing Yamaha Neo BBb Tuba. He kept me informed at every stage and made sure it happened. Great experience.

Would go here again if I needed another

Thank you!

Thank you so much for helping us recently, we needed a new wire belt for a snare drum last minute for a competition our daughter was taking part in and the member of staff who helped us was knowledgable and patient. We got exactly what was needed and our daughter was able to compete, and came third! We would definitely recommend this shop.

Fantastic guitar service and set up.

Thank you so much for the expert work done on our guitar. It had been virtually unplayable, and is unputdownable!

We would be lost without you skills and knowledge.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Adrian, thanks for your feedback. We send out non-courier items via Royal Mail Tracked 48 Hour delivery, using the email address provided in your order.
We've double checked to make sure, and we did provide an email address to Royal Mail for your order, so its possible they've either had a system outage, or the emails have been spam filtered by mistake. I can only apologise for this, as once its been handed over to them, it is outside of our control. All the best, and we hope to assist you again soon and earn that fifth star!

Thank you for bringing the lack of order confirmation to our attention, we've recently upgraded our site, and are still ironing out the odd bug, we'll look into resolving that issue.
