They have an AMAZING sheet music department. I play the Viola, and, if you do (or have even ever tried to find Viola sheet music) you know its next to impossible to get anything decent for the instrument. The people at the sheet music department are so helpful, they take you to their computer and show you some stuff they have online. They actually will order it for you too. They helped me find some perfect music.
Furthermore they have some very nice and helpful employees. They certainly do go above and beyond what a lot of people do. They also don't pressure you to buy stuff, which is a huge plus.
Overall, The high prices on accessories is easily solved by going somewhere online like Shar music, and get your sheet music (and rosin) here.
