Reviews of O Di Bella Music Inc

Ryan Whyte

This is my go to music store in my township, got my son’s DJ equipment here, instruments for my daughter they got it all, awesome.

Allison Lee Conner

I visited O Di Bella Music store for the very first time on yesterday. My son’s music teacher referred us to O Di Bella’s to make a repair on my son’s saxophone. I was greeted as soon as I entered the store and was offered assistance by Justin. Justin was professional, kind and courteous as well as empathic in that I was unclear where my son had a broken piece on his saxophone. I asked Justin if he was okay with me FaceTiming my son and he was more than fine and he quickly assessed where the broken piece. Not only that, it was fixed while I waited. As Justin explained to me how my son can prevent from bending the piece again, I asked if I could please FaceTime my son once again and Justin was more than accommodating. My son understands how he needs to carefully anchor the top piece on the base of his saxophone to prevent damaging it again. The service was exceptional and I recommend O Dibella’s for all of your instrument needs. Mike DiBella was gracious as well as kind and courteous too. Thank you for providing exceptional service.

The staff was friendly, asked if we needed help several times, and even offered to order a specific tablature book for me. They definitely answered our questions. The store contained a great selection of guitars and books. I would have loved to see more ukuleles, but I know they're nowhere near as popular as guitars. I also found a great microphone holder here that really grips the mic I was unable to find elsewhere. *I updated my review from a 3 to a 4 after my second visit a few weeks ago*

Jay G

O Di Bella Music is great! They offer a wide product selection and go above and beyond to satisfy the customer. I was very impressed with their exceptional service to guide me in my American Professional II Telecaster purchase. I plan to use them again. They are highly recommended for any musical need!

Jacqueline Wisner

I was looking for piano and vocal sheet music and was pleased to see that they carried a wide selection. The salesman was very helpful, trying to locate my requests. When something wasn't in the stack he was able to print it for me. And had an option online where specific songs could be ordered.

Nancy Shearer

I am incredibly happy I found O Di Bella Music. I had been looking for an experienced technician to service my instruments. I found it with Dan Sagge! Very professional and helpful and incredibly nice! Always a plus! That has not been my experience in the past with many repair technicians! Highly recommend!

Paul “Kael-Luna” L.G.

Great service, they are fast and give you great recommendations for your instruments.

Dovie Neuburger

Couldn’t have been more impressed with the service here. Alex was so helpful with all the equipment I needed for my event!

Austin Kleyn

I had a great experience getting my clarinet and flute repaired here. Tony Park was great. He really took his time with my instruments, did a thorough job. He was also able to accommodate me due to the long drive, and was able to work on my instruments while there. He is a pleasant individual to work with as well.

Shahriar Parvez

Tom Mascarelli was my point of contact; he was very responsive to my queries and I got a great deal on an E-II Horizon. The guitar was well packaged, quickly shipped and had a good setup. Overall, my experience was very positive, and I would recommend them.

shai ziv

Love this local music store. Used to rent instruments for my daughters and bought my guitar there. Always a great service, above and beyond. Came this morning to ask for help with changing strings and tuning a Charango I bought in Peru. Justin worked on it for a while and also on my guitar and when I was about to pay, I realized it is a part of their service. Thank you Justin and thank you O Di Bella for being there exactly when I need it.

Luci Terenin

Bought my first piano keyboard in 35 years! Going to enjoy playing it in my new home. Good selection and great service.

Jonathan Wasser

Great customer service! I went in today with some concerns and Tom the manager was super helpful and kind. Highly recommend this store!

Riordan D'Lasnow

O Di Bella is a true gem. So glad to have a music store like this near home. The selection is great, the staff is friendly and helpful - especially Tom who I've worked with multiple times. Always happy to support this place and recommend it to others.

Dan Kelly

I traveled about 40 minutes to get my guitar setup and adjusted there because a good friend who is a pro guitar player said that they are the best around. I was not disappointed. I had my guitar setup (adjusted to play better) and had the nut and saddle replaced with a high-end material. They also restringing the guitar and it plays great and sounds even better. The cost was very competitive and the services cost me around $75 where other shops wanted $150-180 because of the nut and saddle work.

Kegan Krogh

I’d give them 10 stars if I could, by your next guitar from them.

Melvin Rodriguez

I have living in Bergenfield for 12 years and never get my foot inside the store. the inventory they have is huge. I went today to pick up a violin for my daughter. The rental and buy programs they have is really good. I planning to get guitar classes soon. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Stephen Lynch

Very helpful and informative staff. Large selection of instruments, DJ equipment and general audio file interests. The merchandising is a little bit untidy but generally well organized by category. The location is TERRIBLE! It's nestled at a VERY busy intersection. No matter what approach you take it feels dangerous to try and get into the parking lot. Getting out is easy because it utilizes the traffic light. Good place for getting started with a new instrument and above average if you're a pro.

Erik Heidenthal

Bought a Mesa 2x12 Recto cab, and I must say, their customer service made me pleased to spend the money here. Their staff was knowledgeable and helped answer my questions before I placed my order, and were incredibly helpful in making sure it was fulfilled quickly. Loving my new cab and will be looking to shop here again in the future!

Richard Romaniello

Great people, been going there since the mid 60s!

R Kricheff

Been using this store for years, for work on brass instruments, for buying my kids instruments and now to buy my guitar and accessories. Everyone there has always given us great service been professional and friendly. Going back today.

Luke

A great place to learn about/ to buy music equipment and instruments. Large selection with helpful staff that are able to help with most queries and can also fix your instruments (at a price obviously). Would reccomend checking it out if you're in the area and looking for a place to buy/ learn about musical instruments.

AHEAD INK SMP (Ahead Ink New Jersey SMP)

Great local music store. All the guitars were well set up and included some great high end options. Not hectic and noisy like GC

Nikolaos LaTorre

I can’t say enough good things about O. DiBella Music. I specifically dealt with Tom M., who really went above and beyond with customer service. I wanted to order an item that that was out of stock in the shop, but Tom was good enough to place a special order for me and keep me updated as to status. When it came in, he not only gave me a phenomenal price, but overnight shipped it across the Hudson to Long Island to me for free as a thank you for waiting for the product to come in stock (stock delays were from the company that made the product in this post-Covid world, not O. DiBella.) It’s nice to know that there’s such a solid shop with stand up dudes that are dealers for some companies I use that are not so far from my house. I’d highly recommend them and will be getting all my tubes (and other items) from these guys. Thanks again Tom, you’re the man!

James Gordon

Recently went to O’Di Bella music for the DR string change event. While I was expecting to be waiting, there was only a couple of people in the store not for the same event. While the staff was friendly they didn’t ask me anything about me or was I interested in other products. I was expecting to fill out some type of mailing list or something in exchange for the free strings. The store is very nice, well set up, but with brick and mortar suffering I’ll rate I would have to thing they would try to sell me something or tell me about new products. While I appreciate the free strings I think you guys are missing your potential as a long time mom and pop store to build a clientele for sheer survival. You guys have a very nice store and I would hate to see you suffer the same premature fate as other retailers. I will support you in the future but please do something to help yourself. This review is in no way a bad review, but if customers do not see the value of local stores, they won’t be around. Best of Luck...

Jorgina Marzan

Love this place! Been going here for my rentals/purchases for over 20 yrs! Always reasonable pricing for items. More stuff in stock than your average guitar center whether it's buying strings for a guitar or a new speaker system.

LJz Rekt

People are great here. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Went in and talked about some instruments for my niece/nephew along with some information for myself about guitars/ukulele's and was super happy with the information I received. They tuned and tested for free, gave recommendations, etc. They definitely enjoy what they do and those are the best kinds of people.

Horacio Jimenez NYC

Best place to shop for musical instruments. They have very good prices at the least very competitive but what makes the place worth my time and money is the people whom are knowledgeable and most of all they are friendly and patient. After many years in the music biz, that is my go-to place.

Mable Wheeler

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! I came here 10 min before closing time to pick up some Serato vinyls, and the staff was very kind and super helpful. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for audio or dj equipment.

Joseph Annecchino

Good honest employees. Friendly proprietor who is knowledgeable. Instrument repair staff would bend over backwards to help you with repair issues. Stay away from larger music stores such as Sam Ashley and Music and arts. They don't care about honest and hard working customers.

Yossi Katz

Excellent. My 7 year old son wanted guitar lessons (and a guitar). They took the time to explain us everything from A to Z, super courteous and very child friendly. Had a great first experience and would recommend.

Gabriel Menashe

The best musician, DJ and pro audio store in the area.

John Bakelaar

Brought my 17 year old Taylor 414ce in for a neck reset/set up. The work was done perfectly and the pricing was very reasonable. Communication with the tech "Jim" was excellent. Highly recommended.

Vanilla Hudson

Customer service was excellent.. Les take the time to explain the equipment to me as I was shopping for my son!!

Edward Yeo

It's an amazing place. They have and I'm not joking the best clarinet technician there. Dan Sagi has had people from Virginia go to him for fixes. The staff is nice and they are not incompetent, because they know what they are talking about. Especially one of the staff named Charlie. I have two other music stores that are 5 minutes away while O DiBella is 30 minutes away, but we drive the 30 minutes because it is worth it. There is one nearby me that almost lost my clarinet and the worst part is that they kept it for two weeks, I had a performance coming up, and THEY DIDN'T EVEN REPAIR IT. Trust me all the band directors that I have met trust O DiBella more than anywhere else. You must go there!

Guy

I have been a customer for 5 years and I must say that the customer service is great. I am not the musician in the family, but I purchase all of my son's gear there. They even let me return a music book that I incorrectly purchased. Try that on the internet sites. My son wanted a custom instrument and I was lost. I called and spoke with Charlie and he said no problem, he ordered the parts (without a deposit) and built it for me.Well just picked it up and it was better then I could have hoped for. The best part was it was LESS then what he quoted me. Thanks Charlie and ODB!!!

John Walsh

The people that work here are very helpful and passionate about music. We were looking around for a place to rent a clarinet for my daughter and everyone was so helpful and nice. Pricing was very reasonable with different options.

Trevor Batchelder

I completed my second trip to O.Dibella yesterday after they neglected to provide us with all of the pieces for our rented drum kit. Upon setting up yesterday, we realized we were still missing pieces. When I called, I spoke to an employee named Les, who was apologetic and sympathetic about my desire to not return to the store a third time in the past 3 days. He offered to come hand deliver the remaining parts and to also look over the drum kit to make sure we absolutely had everything we needed. I'm still a little irked that this is a problem in the first place, but they are doing their best to make it right.

Chuck Evtuch

Great place they sold me my LTD ec256

vicente romero

Been to that store for 20 years now, good service, employees, my daughter loves music and always wants to come here. Bought a violin here still in good shape after 18 years, and passed it on to my other daughter (youngest) Very happy with this store.

Michael Xuan

I had a great experience at O.DiBella Music. Lou is an expert flute repairman, he always try his best to do the job, thank you very much for your time in making the repairs. Dan is always very helpful when I have any questions. All staffs in O.DiBella Music are nice and friendly.

Patricia Barlow

My daughter's bassoon has some minor leaks so her teacher recommended Dan Sagi at O DiBella. Not only did he do a fantastic job fixing the leaks but he did it while we waited. He is now our go-to person for all repairs. Thank you!

Gedaliah Borvick

Thank you O. DiBella Music - 15 years ago we bought a drum set for my son which he has used for many years and which helped foster in him a love of music. He now plays the drums, guitar, bass guitar and dabbles in a few other instruments. It was a pleasure being in your store again today, buying my same son a chromatic harmonica. Thanks again and best wishes.

Busking Betty

Recently bought a guitar from these folks and couldn't be happier. Spoke with Tom who described the guitar & put the order thru. Guitar arrived 2 days later in perfect condition. Guitar was on sale at a great price so expected to see a few flaws. I was pleasantly suprised....it was in "like new" condition and looked better than pictured on the internet. Guitar was set up , ready to gig out right out of the box. My first experience with O DiBella Music was a very good one ! !

Bob Reaves

Purchased an amplifier from them on Reverb. Order processing and delivery were fast Unexpectedly and unfortunately however, and through no fault of O'DiBella, it was not something I could use, My refund request was acknowledged and approved the same day I sent it to them. But most impressive, earning them 5 stars to say the least, my PayPal account received a full refund literally within minutes of FedEx delivering the returned amp to them. To me, that kind of response and service says more about this company's ethics and professional approach to taking care of customers, than anything else. As it was returned, I can't review them on Reverb. Hopefully this review will be seen by anyone considering a purchase.

Jordan Sarnoff

Great people, very knowledgeable. Installed a public address system at the school where I announce and did a tremendous job! Can't wait to use on August 29th for the first time! Mike and Les were awesome!

Peter

A REAL music store which caters to the local and broad community. Not a big chain! They've got some things that I, as a music teacher, just can't always wait for via "approved sellers" like BG products, king & conn sousaphone bits, some music copies, hetman products, etc. Well worth the long drive for me if I need something!

chapstix911

O DiBella Music surprised me. The store, from the outside, didn't look that big. Inside was another story. There are separate sections for everything, from electric guitars to acoustics, ukuleles, of course drums, plus loads of accessories. It's s great source for equipment, and gifts for musicians.

Perry Stein

Friendly neighborhood music shop. They consistently have what I need. Last trip was for o clamps to hang stage lights and they had several options in stock.

Brian Miller

I work in a public school, and have been dealing with Mike from O.DiBella Music for the past three-four years. Mike has been an outstanding vendor. He listens to my needs, makes recommendations for how to proceed and follows up regularly. He has come through on every project that we have brought to his attention. I know that I can count on him to get the job done, and the product has always been excellent. I look forward to working on future projects with him for years to come.

Eric Sr. NYS

Fair and reasonable prices. They buy used instruments and sell them as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. A very nice place to patronize

James Jeude

I'm new to the neighborhood and the guitar tech really knows what he's doing. I had two tricky situations, one with a National guitar that had intonation problems and (of course) the wooden biscuit is not adjustable, but he nailed it. Next up, a 40 year old Rickenbacker 4001 with special challenges in using heavy gauge strings and he knew all about the Rick's quirks.

patrick rooney

I would much rather go to O. DiBella Music than a Guitar Center. They're one of the last independently owned music stores around. You get better service from a much more knowledgeable staff.

Michele Douglas-Smith

Local area destination for people who are musically inclined, maybe you need a lesson or two, maybe you need to purchase or repair what you already have - O’DiBella is the place to go. My son has been taking drum lessons for years with “Russ” . Great place

Justin Fun Adventures

Great place for all your musical interests needs🎶🎷🪘🎹🪗🎸🎺🎻🎙🥁🎛🎚🔊and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable …

Kathy Sheinhouse

I am an oboe teacher and a student came to me with an oboe that was not suitable to his needs. I contacted O DiBella and they worked with me to get an oboe within my student's limited budget. When the oboe came to me, I was thrilled that it played so well. Now, a young oboist can make all of the progress his efforts deserves. Thank you.

Padraic Devine (Clasping Hands Art)

Best music store ever. Came all the way from Orange county to visit.

Nicole McDermott

The employees were very nice! The repairs aren't too expensive I think and they did a lot!~ However, they get very busy, it took around three weeks for my repair.

M L

They took the time to talk with me and explain everything we needed for our guitar and violin. They have a large selection.

Ari Wartelski

brought an instrument to get repaired they were so honest and quick and informed me that no repair was needed and refunded my deposit. Highly recommended

No other music store compares. If they don't have it, you don't need it (but they'll still get it for you).

Elijah Jackson

Large verity of musical stuff. I’ve gone here since I was a kid so the store is old but the people there are very nice and I got my first piano lessons there.

Mama Bear

The music teachers are great. They're very supportive and encourage your child to be and do there best at music. They push them to try harder.

Ilias Iliadis

Need to improve customer service. I called to check for availability of a product. They said YES. I was waiting for ages to locate the item and at the end I left the store without the mouth piece for the saxophone while the tried to sell me a similar one.
