I have purchased items several times over the last two years. The assistants are knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend Dorcey music.

Marcus Hilderbrand

Truly, I just had the BEST experience buying from Dorsey music in Nampa. The service was so good that instead of going home and learning how to play my new guitar right away, I had to hop online and leave a review first. That right there should speak volumes on how superb the service was. The staff and selection of instruments was outstanding. I know where I’ll be going for all my future tune-ups and purchases. Give this place a shot before going anywhere else. (Take it from someone that went to 5 other shops before this one) lol. You won’t be disappointed!!! Thanks again Dave and the crew for everything!

Noah Creswell

It has a decent selection for some things, but there is one thing that has come to my attention. When I came here in the market for a new saxophone, it was very apparent that they wanted to sell a certain brand called Cannonball. There is nothing wrong with this brand, but there are certainly better saxophones out there. If you want a unbiased instrument experience then I suggest you go somewhere else. That being said, I have purchased a Cannonball instrument from here and it works perfectly fine. And in my humble opinion Cannonball instruments look better than most other bands.

Henrietta Emerson

Their selection of musical instruments and music materials is awesome. Their customer service is friendly and knowledgeable. I also take piano lessons from an amazing lady. I highly recommend Dorsey Music!

Kasey

The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is so very knowledgeable and helpful. Today we brought my boyfriends guitar in to figure out exactly which piece was broken and they got it all fixed up. The gentleman even showed him some better tuner pegs for the future if he decided to change them. The selection of instruments that I looked at are abundant. The ability to try them out before purchasing is awesome.

Dustin Dickson

I have to admit I did my fair share of shopping around before I purchased from here. I like to support smaller local businesses that build relationships with their customers. They were honest and helpful and worked with me to meet my needs. You can't get any friendlier!

Melissa VandeWater

Such an amazing store! After having a not so amazing experience at another guitar store we came for an amp. The gentleman who helped us was amazing. He asked what kind of guitar my husband bought and used that same one they had to show us different amps. We really appreciate the time that was taken to help us out and made our experience so much better after a rough trip earlier in that day. Will be coming here for all our music needs from now on.

jon fiveland

Awesome experience. Not only great staff like Dave but excellent product like the Taylor guitar I found at there shop. I must say the other staff I got to help me wasn't hard to look at ither. Thank you for A great experience in my guitar perchis. 👍👍👍 …

I personally have never met Derek before this encounter. Derek was contracted by a third party to transfer the piano that has been in my family for about 60 years to their home. Derek showed up and politely identified who he was and why he was there. He was very courteous to everyone in the home. His personal appearance was very professional. He quickly adapted to my homes flooring challenges. In one move I made in the past I saw 4 men struggle to transport this piano into my home. Derek did the job by himself with alacrity. He quickly assessed the piano for tuning and function. He smartly and gently answered my questions about the piano. He made the piano transport into his trailer in about 5 minutes; about 10 minutes from arrival to departure from my home. I was/am totally impressed with Derek's ability, knowledge, politeness and professionalism. And though I did not pay him for this service I highly recommend Derek for this type work. He is easily worth what you will pay him to work for you. I aspire to Derek's excellent portrayed example of what I consider personal qualities of Christ Jesus. Thank you Derek!

Mr. Dorsey has always been very helpful and everything. He looks into your best interest. Always very cheerful. I appreciate his honesty and kindness Also his store emoyees are vet helpful when it comes time to order new books

Jeff Crowe

The staff here are amazing! Had my bass guitar serviced by Dave, who did an excellent job. Derek and Dave have consulted with me on equipment needed for our church. Great source of information and they have not steered me wrong. I have bought a lot of equipment from them and am super happy!

Dominic Marr

I’ve been shopping amplifiers for about a year and I finally narrowed it down. I checked all the online super corps and had decided I would just order online. On a whim, I checked out Dorsey music online and seen they had the amp I was after in stock! So I went down to the Nampa location Saturday to check it out. Well, they didn’t have it at that location but my salesman Dave said, hey, don’t worry, I’ll have it transferred over here for you to try out. Took my info and I left wondering if I would even get a call back. Tuesday morning, Dave called me and said “I got in in for you. Come in when you can and try it”. I went in after work and was greeted by Dave and he hooked it up and closed off the room so I could give it a whirl. I bought it. But, they didn’t send over the foot switch. So I offered to pick it up at their Garden City location near my work. When I walked in, Dave had the switch set out with a new cable and a cover for the amp. In this day and age, customer service is a rare find. And guys like Dave are even rarer than hens teeth. Dorsey and Dave will be getting all my family’s music business going forward and I highly recommend everyone else do the same. You rock Dave!

Richard Ballantyne

Our family has used Dorsey music for many years. They have always treated us fairly and sometimes done more for us than we deserved. They have always backed up their products if we ever had issues. We will continue to us Dorsey music for many years to come.

Darrell Broughton

Nice friendly knowledgeable staff. Comparable prices. Wide selection of instruments and accessories for every Musician. They also give. Music lessons as well. I had the pleasure to speak with Derek on the phone first, then I went down to the store and met up with him. It is easy to find and easy access from Caldwell Blvd. There's plenty of parking. I found out that when you purchase an item, they automatically warrant the item in the store. We conducted our business. I will go back for all my Musical needs.

Charles Trapp

Very friendly staff. Even when they are busy, it's only very short time before someone offers to assist. I order a lot of goods on online and I've found Dorsey's prices to be the same on most everything I've looked for - and you have the added value of supporting a locally owned business. Lastly, I am rather impatient at times - "Get it Next Day" shipping can't beat "just down the street".

Robert Williams

I've had good experiences at the Nampa location (not so much at the Boise location, and I've never the Ontario location). I've bought a guitar here, and a number of different music accessories. The electric guitar/bass room is pretty cramped, so more space in store would be nice. But the employees have always been helpful. I came in one day looking for a shipping box for a guitar that I had sold on Reverb, and they let me have one of their left over boxes that they had on hand for free. I actually walked in just a couple days ago after looking on the website hoping they had a new model guitar (it wasn't listed on the website, which can be hit and miss), but I saw the exact guitar, so I'm glad I stopped in.

Kristin Cromwell

We had a great experience with this place! We came to have a guitar restrung, and possibly purchase another (depending on the service we got, and their prices). We are specifically so thankful for Dave. I am so appreciative of him! He took great interest in helping my teen son learn more about guitars. He praised him and really built him up, teaching him so much while we were there! He also was so sweet with our other (younger) kids...letting them try out instruments and really giving them a love for it all! There was also a female employee who was just as sweet and so helpful. I can't say enough about these two! Really had a great time there and are VERY happy with the service we got, as well as the guitar we purchased. As long as they are there, we will continue to come back for all our music needs!

Ezechel Trifan

The sheer amount of gear is impressive for the floor space they have. They don't have some of the coolest stuff, but well, that's in tune with the local market. Price are what they are, same as everywhere. The staff is very friendly, experienced and helpful, a lot more so than the average big-national-company employee. That's what sets them apart. That, and the quality of all the extra services they offer on the side, such as guitar tune-ups (which I used) and lessons (I've heard good things about).

Ryan Marca

I LOVE Dorsey Music. Went in and the owner helped me personally and I picked up a nice Fender Accoustic for a good price. A couple of weeks went by and I went in looking at electri guitars. I went in 3 separate times and each time they were happy to see me and gladly let me plug in any guitar I wanted and play in their awesome electric room. I went in yesterday (2/3/21). Dave was there and he is amazing! He recommended different guitar and amps and I felt that he cared about me and my music, not just trying to talk up products to make more money. I need up falling in love with a Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT and a Fender Mustang GT40 amp. I called back later to talk to him about wall mount stands for my 2 guitars and again he was nothing but helpful. I went in to get the wall mounts and the employees went out of their way to find me a practice stool in my price range too. I love this shop and they have a customer for life right here. Thank You Dorsey Music!!!

Maggie Franco

I was very impressed with the staff at this place. We went on Labor Day weekend to get my son a trombone for school. They were very knowledgeable and showed us what to look for in a good trombone. We had gone to another music store and they were not nearly as knowledgeable and helpful. The staff at Dorsey took the time to show my son how to put the instrument together and how to get a sound out of it. I saw them do this with other children that were also new to band. We were there at around closing time, but instead of rushing us out so that they could start their weekend, they were more concerned with making sure my son was comfortable with putting this instrument together. Great place!

cody reid

When my friend and I walked in, we were met with assistance immediately. The service was wonderful-- our assistant was very informative and helped us find a quality guitar that suited our price range. We were very satisfied with our experience, and will return for any other musical needs.

Deborah Hunt

Mr Dorsey is full of compassion and knowledge and spirit and wit! Loved talking to this gentle legend of a man. Will definitely be a repeat customer over and over again!

Scott McGowan

I travel quite a bit, and when I'm on the road I try and hit all the guitar shops nearby. Dorsey music was not only the best in that area, it was one of the best I've been to in a while! VERY helpful staff, good selection of guitars and accessories.

MrRingoac

I took my son in just before Christmas to look at guitars. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. They took him into the guitar room and let him play each guitar as long as he wanted. They even went so far as to teach him about the electric guitar and a few other things set up wise. Answered all our questions and spent a good 45 min. with us. Awesome customer service. Highly recommend them.

Ryan Dunn

Dorsey is the best. They spend as much time with you as you need. My son plays Guitar, my daughter the Flute... They are always so helpful.

Jackie Kugler

Shout out to Dorsey Music here in Nampa! My daughter had snapped a string on her violin a while back and reminded me last minute that she needed a new string for her test in orchestra at school. Called them to confirm what time they close and they had JUST closed 3 minutes prior! The nice gentleman on the other end of the line could sense my desperation. He helped us determine what strings she needed, checked to see they had them in stock, and found someone to stay at the store until we could get there to purchase them! So nice to have someone go out of their way and make an exception for the customer!

Teresa Johnson

Excellent service. They helped us find the exact amplifier and hardware we need for our karaoke system. And at an AWESOME price. Thank you so much❗

Jeff Knowles

These guys are alright. I've bought PA equipment from them, and when I ask them if they can give me a better price they do. I check around and it's a competitive price. I will say they have plenty of gear. Sales guys are ok to deal with but you gotta take charge since your suppose to know what your talking about. Over all Dorsey is OK.

Travis Patton

This place has a lot of items. Though it feels like being at a car lot. I had 3 people help me. The first kind of knew where to look. They second kept trying to sell me what I didn't want. The third overheard and actually helped me. Then while the second was finishing helping me the second came and flat out interrupted us and was rude. Lastly, they won't return your money if you bring in a return. Only in store credit.

Brian Tanner

I rented two instruments for my kids. The employees were awesome to work with, very knowledgeable and took the time to make sure my kids understood how to care for the clarinet and baritone. Sergio was especially helpful. I definitely recommend Dorsey in Nampa.

Ashley Shearer

We purchased a trumpet at the beginning of the school year for my son. The guy helping us was very kind and answered all my questions without making me feel stupid (and there were a lot, I know nothing about instruments). Trumpet worked excellent, not a single problem. Here we are a few months later and we decided to switch to the saxophone. The man that helped us (he has glasses and is bilingual, I believe) was so kind! He sat down with my son and showed him how to properly hold the instrument and really took his time just showing him the basics. He was awesome and we truly appreciate the service we received in the past and today! Thank you, we will be back!

Alison Adona

Love the friendly staff and how it is so easy to find what we need. We have rented and purchased an instrument here and they went above and beyond.

Grab Hold productions

Never had a bad experience. The staff is very nice and personable, and even more so, accommodating. Every request I have within reason, they try to facilitate it. The manager is totally cool and the staff, I believe, is a direct reflection of him. Thanks Dorsey, I will continue to support.

sean

My son rents a Cello from Dorsey Music for his orchestra class. The staff at Dorsey have always been extremely helpful and cooperative. My son's first cello was destroyed by accident at school and Dorsey Music was very helpful in finding him a replacement and working with the school. I would definitely recommend using Dorsey music for any musician or student. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and very cooperative.

AidanD Films

I Visited Here to buy a new Percussion Book, and the service was amazing. Everybody was nice, it was clean, and had an amazing atmosphere. 10/10.

Emily Wheeler

LOVE this music store! The only one I will buy from! Staff is friendly and extremely helpful. They have everything from batons, to didgeridoos! They spend the time to explain everything to me and know my name when I come in! Recommend this music store to anyone who is interested in music!

William Maxwell

Maybe the best place in Idaho to get a double bass. Hardly anywhere in Twin Falls had a double bass and the ones they did were used and expensive for being in poor condition. Dorsey had a large selection in a variety of places, were helpful and eager to make a sale.

Chris Ivie

Honestly super nice guys, I’ve been playing guitar for about a year now and the guy didn’t make me feel like an idiot apart from when he was speaking in gauge but that’s my fault for not knowing what gauge was. Let me play some guitars and set me up with a drop a tuning set and also fixed my loose input jack for free!!

Anne Hedelius

Dave has been wonderful to work with. The cello setup is perfect! I had a trusted luthier in Reno and was worried I would not find a comparable luthier in the Treasure Valley. Dave exceeds my expectations every time. Thank you. Carol has been a wonderful teacher and help to us over the years. Thank you, we have many fond memories of working with you.

Leslie Michels

I recommend Network to anybody that needs repair job on a quality instrument thank you Dorsey Music for fixing my loved instruments.

Dylan Hixon

We've been going here for the past 8 years. I came in to ask about my trombone slide. They spent a lot of time explaining the slide and took time to show me how to do things. I extremely appreciated the effort and time they spent with me.

Brenda Oldfield
