Village Music

Great place. Nice atmosphere. I love the smell of legit record stores. Nick and Sean were cool and very helpful. Looking forward to going back.

Lessons, music books, rentals, repairs, vinyl records, and many different types of instruments are available. Check them out in Avondale Estates.

So great to have a full service music store in Avondale. They have lessons, rentals, repairs, instruments and records! Full Service y’all! Friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you with what ever it is that you need. I’ve gotten guitar pedals and strings there several times now. Parking in front is limited but there’s spaces in back as well.

I purchased a drum set from Village Music online. The shipping took much longer than it should have and when these drums finally arrived they were damaged. One of the bass drum hoops was cracked and several of the bass drum tension rods were bent. Yes this could have been from UPS dropping but it could have also been from the poor packaging. I messaged with Nick several times and asked for a partial refund for the damaged parts I would need to buy in order to use the bass drum. I've sent many messages over the last 49 days since purchasing, very slow to respond at first, just blamed UPS. I've sent several follow up messages with no resolution and Nick has just stopped responding to me. BUYER BEWARE- horrible customer service, bad business practices, I would not recommend.

Let me tell you about my experience with Village Music in Avondale Estates. I gave them a sentimental guitar on April 11 for a pickup fix that can take anyone less than 30 minutes. After over a month of no communication I was trying to reach out to see where my guitar was at. For three solid weeks of calling and messaging I had no idea if they lost, broke or sold my guitar. If you are a musician, you know instruments are our babies. Had to go there in person and threaten a police report just to get my instrument back. The owner lied about contacting about the status to save face in front of his student. Apparently they also rent out instruments, so maybe that is why it takes over 2 months for a simple fix. If you care about your instrument, do not send it to this place. Just try calling them during business hours and I’m confident you will only receive an outdated voicemail.
