A Quality Business 12/2/2019

Quality merchandise - great service - friendly atmosphere - timely repairs... what more could I want? I've made many purchases over the years (large and small), and I've had great experiences with each one - no regrets. I've come to respect their knowledge and trust their advice. Their prices are reasonable - fair. Good inventory, and they will happily order what they don't have. They consistently "go the extra mile" to please the customer. more

Quality is what Art’s deals with 5/20/2010

If you are looking for cheap stuff, this is not the place. Quality is what Art’s deals with. I play in several bands around town and I am always satisfied with the quality of gear that Art’s keeps on hand or can order for me. I must give credit to their tech – Jeff Salter - He knows me and understands my occupation, and I know him and I understand his occupation. With regard to my main tools, I'll call him, explain the time line, and see if he is in the position to work within such. If not, no big whoop, we'll do business again, we'll probably go have dinner and talk old soldiers. However, if we've agreed on Wednesday, there's a valid reason that such has been specified, and Thursday won't do. The guy understands this, and there are no issues. My lifestyle and income depends upon it, as his does. I always said that we needed a good amp repairman and luthier in Birmingham. Thank God Art’s found this guy. Good techs must be good musicians. When I describe a sound this guy knows how to find it for me. Art’s is the place to go in Birmingham to get the treatment we deserve for the aspiring and professional musicians. Best Regards, Jazzman more

good deal, good people 12/27/2008

I checked prices online before going to Art's. The asking price for the guitar I was looking for was the same as the lowest price I found online. I didn't have to ask them to match my best deal because they were already there. Service was a little slow but they were very busy during Christmas shopping season. Once a sales person was able to help me, I was treated as if I were the only customer in the store. more

So expensive! 12/3/2005

This place is located on HWY 280. If you're looking for a used, decently-priced musical instrument, this place isn't for you. Likewise, if you're looking for a decently-priced new instrument, this isn't the place for you either. Even the staff will tell you that they understand when you don't want to pay forty bucks for a new pack of reeds. But to be fair, they do have a nice selection of pianos and guitars. But is it worth it? Not really. more
