We have been loyal renters from West Music. They have professional staff, great store hours for a busy family, and offer lessons. We've taken Uke Can Do It classes, which were so much fun. Adults and young kiddos can take it. We are thrilled to have this locally owned business, who is generous to the arts community in our area, in our town.

George Michael

Best music store in milles, with a great tradition of excellence and a wide variety of music instruments in different categories, as well as accessories, books, lessons. My son explored the different rooms and tested several instruments, he was excited to find the coqui wooden percussion and other instruments. There was a steady flow of customers on Saturday and staff was diligent and knowledgeable. Thanks!

Elizabeth Culjat

Everyone at West music is super friendly and helpful!

Todd Dorr

Staff was more than helpful and cheerful with us when our daughter bought a Miyazawa flute. We appreciate the pro tips on maintaining and servicing timeline. She is extremely happy with her purchase.

Sheri Austin

The lady we spoke to about buying an electronic piano gave me excellent advice and she made sure to show me all of the extras that the piano had. I would recommend this store to anyone looking to but any musical instruments or to take lessons. I have been dealing with this store for many years and have never had a problem

Denise Moore

Everyone was friendly and helpful and more importantly knowledgeable. Its nice to be able to ask questions and talk to someone who knows what they are taking about. The store was clean and neat. It was easy to find your way around. The music related extras were fun too.

Eric Doorn

Very good service. The staff members are very helpful to help you find what you need and the appropriate materials and instruments. You can easily rent, buy, repair, and clean your instrument there. A wide selection of instruments as well from pianos to euphoniums to violins, there are a variety of styles. One of the primary brands is Accent but I believe there are a few others as well.

Miranda Fahrenbruch

The knowledgeable staff always know what to suggest and how to help when I'm in the store. Their online store is also something our family has utilized and loves! They offer hundreds of products, and their prices are competitive. Their Basic Beats instruments are great quality at very low prices!

Chandra Harper

Very knowledgeable & wonderful to work with!

Scott Keigan

Friendly staff that are very helpful, ok selection of amps and guitars. Don't carry left-handed guitars. Guitar repair and setup prices seem very expensive compared to services from other similar guitar stores. More than twice as much for the same services to replace a nut and setup. I would trust their work though with an expensive instrument.

Rhianna Williams

A friendly and knowledgeable staff who doesn't immediately jump down your throat when you walk in. They will greet you, offer help, and then leave you to your own devices if you so wish. That's a huge deal for me. They have quite a selection of instruments, equipment, and lesson books. I was quite impressed.

Stephen

Our kid has rented flutes & violins from West Music very reasonably. They offer in-house repairs of instruments with friendly technicians & staff with follow up by email. Music lessons are $25 per session (as of yesterday, I think I was inquiring about trumpet or guitar). Always an inspiring place to stop by, wow!!

Arden Svoboda

West music has been a part of our family for over 40 years and I swear they never change. Still the best sales and service for instruments, new and used. Great teachers as well. Nicole for piano and Dennis for trumpet, they've helped my son become a more confident and proficient artist.

Christian Shields

I call this place "An upscale guitar center". It has all the selection that you would expect at a guitar center, but with a whole lot more class. It also has a great selection of more classic instruments, such as grand pianos and wood wind selections. The repair center is what brings us here though, they have very professional technicians who seem like experts in their field. We always feel well taken care of for a reasonable price, we trust thousands of dollars of equipment in their very capable hands.

Ava Angele

Amazing Store...surpassing our critical standards. As fussy Bostonians Dr. Keith is amazing...the store is magnificent! Flute authority is such an advanced educational source, coming from Boston University we are so impressed with Dr.Hanlon and West Music, Bravo well done.

Erika Smith

My son started band and we bought his instrument here. They offer financing options but if you can afford to, it is much cheaper to buy the instrument outright. Financing ends up costing almost double over the three year term. They have a lot of selection and staff seems knowledgeable about the variety of instruments and school programs.

lisa tegethoff

This store has lots of great music stuff. I saw saxaphones , clarinets,trumpets,trombones, flutes and guitars. They have music books and reeds. They also have guitar strings in their large guitar area. They have lessons available for a wide array of instruments. There is a service center with great instrument repair. There is also a large showroom of Grand pianos and uprights.

Iggy Brady

We've bought guitars, drums, recording equipment here, have had instruments repaired, have rented strings, percussion for school band, have taken lessons in piano and drums... have always had a great experience with West. They never make you feel clueless and are able to scale advice and expense to your level of interest.

Lucas Sorensen

Bought my first guitar here. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great selection of guitars as well. And for those of you who complain that it's all too pricy, remember that you get what you pay for.

Melinda Eaton

We had West Music move a piano a while back. What amazing service! Their crew knew what to do and were in and out with a full size piano in just a few minutes! Great Job!

Katie Roche

Founded in Iowa City, this hometown music store is now so big that they can get the best prices on equipment. Kind knowledgeable staff, lots of instructors and very generous in our community!

Todd Carr

Great service and unique finds always never problem getting what we want when we want it all my children are musicians we have purchased from drum kits 2 Fender and Gibson guitars if you're looking for a classic check them out

Chris Snyder

Spent some time here earlier this week. Looking for a strat style electric guitar. I talked to the salesperson and they set me up in a sound room so I could try a few options. I dont like people crawling all over to sell me stuff and the no hassle sales approach really appealed to me. Tried 4 different guitars in about 30 minutes and bought a nice Bullet strat HSS which might be one of the best guitars for the money Ive ever owned in 25 yrs of playing. Highly recommend this store and the Squire Bullet strats.

Vijay Aluri

Andy (guitar) and Bruce (repair) were very professional and helpful. Bruce did excellent work on my acoustic guitar (Taylor). Would recommend this store to anyone who needs help with their guitars.

Ruby Ellen

My son and I came with a Mommy&Me playgroup from North Liberty with Iowa City Moms Blog and we had the BEST time. We learned all about the instruments and the instructor was fabulous! Instilling a lifetime of love for the arts is so important!

GhostDragon

The people working there were incredibly nice to me and helped me a ton with finding a new trumpet.

Chrystal Jackson

I like that even though I did not buy my instrument there My Husband but me a Lyre from Amazon they learned the best they could about my Lyre they tuned it for me and Kevin the one I have been talking to me tried to explain all my Questions I would Recommend them and they are willing to Service my Lyre in the Future as long as it is not more then Tuning or or re stringing anything else they would not be able to do cause of how my Lyre is Made

Clint Hasse

Bruce Vander Schel is truly an incredible luthier and repairman. He recently completed a neck reset on my 1978 Martin D-35 along with a few other minor repairs on the guitar. The instrument plays and sounds better than it ever has since I bought the guitar new in 1978. Bruce's work is impeccable and he really cares about his craft - not to mention you can tell he loves what he does for a living. He also happens to be a great human being and a musician too. I would highly recommend Bruce for any and all repair work you need. He brought my Martin back to life and I can't put it down! Really, do yourself a favor and call Bruce - he is meticulous. I traveled from St. Louis to Coralville and it was worth every mile.

Friendly staff, lots of options for things to buy, and great lessons. But I do wish the lessons weren’t quite as expensive.
