Music Connection is a small town music store with quite a wide variety of equipment available in stock (for such a small store). They cater to small town and beginner musician's needs with the products they carry in stock. Meaning they don't have many high-end products available. I don't fancy myself an expert musician, but I'm not a beginner either. I mainly play acoustic guitar and keyboard, and they don't have very impressive products for either. You definitely won't find a Taylor or a Martin in stock. They have some decent electric guitars and basses (if you're a Fender person), but as a whole, I describe it as they just cater to beginners.Their staff aren't the most friendly people in the world. They're not outright rude or anything, but they don't really go out of their way to make you feel at home in their store. I more so get the feeling that they can hardly wait for me to leave. They do have some band equipment there (trumpets, saxophones, clarinets, etc...) and a lot of accessories for them. My expertise goes out the window when it comes to that stuff, but I can say that my wife got her clarinet serviced there and gave them special instructions to do a few things, including replacing the pads, and they didn't. If I remember correctly, they didn't even clean it up very good. She was not impressed at all.For the most part, I stop in for emergency needs only. I can't afford to shop there otherwise. Example. I bought a set of GHS Boomers electric guitar strings from them yesterday that cost me a whopping $7.45! If I had the time to wait for shipping, I could have ordered them online for $3.89 and easily could have bought them for that lower price at a larger store.All that said, they're convenient when you need them, but you definitely pay for the convenience!
