— We would consider an instrument in good condition, but it is not our primary focus.
“What age is recommended for a child to start learning to play guitar or other instrument?”
— Appropriate age to start depends on child’s natural abilities, interest, coordination, and attention span. Mad Music has served students as young as 3 years old that have progressed and prospered.

— Yes, we call it rental, but it involves you purchasing the desired item, and we will buy it back within 30 days for half of the purchase value in the same condition as when purchased. A lower amount will be offered if the condition has been compromised.
“ If I come into your shop needing advice about instruments, accessories, or repairs; is your staff experienced and professional?”
— Yes. The Mad Music staff consists of lifelong, professional, performing musicians with experienced knowledge of all the instruments, equipment, and services we provide.
“Does a beginner need a top level or high quality musical instrument?”
