St John's Music

Took my Alto Saxophone in to get a once over, they fixed the couple things wrong with it and didn't over charge me trying to do unnecessary work. It plays amazing now and I was very impressed with the fast turn around. I highly recommend the repair service at St John's Music.

I came into the store as a visitor from another country after I visited a few Long and McQuade stores- after speaking to some people there, I was told St. John’s had a monopoly on Yamaha band instruments. As a Yamaha player, I decided to check it out. The store is fine, there’s plenty of method books (other than the RCM books for specific instruments), but for being the only store with Yamaha band instruments, that had almost none either on display or in stock. It seems like they know if you need a Yamaha horn you have to order through them, so why keep a stock?I’ve been involved in the music business industry before, and understand there are some instruments that can take months if not years to come in. However, walking into that band room and seeing that there weren’t even displays for every band instrument rubbed me the wrong way. The employees were nice enough and tried to answer my questions, but ultimately I found everything I needed at Long and McQuade… sans the Yamaha instruments that I didn’t find anywhere.

Knowledgeable friendly staff make it my go to place for anything instrumental!

NOT A WELCOMING PLACE! Because it's so dead in there, the gatekeeper woman, a white skinhead lady, has all the time in the world to stare at you inside the store, make you feel like you're stealing something! Not all musicians are poor Karen! No wonder you downsized, and closed up branches, not a good business culture. Shut down for the love of music!

Was the only music store in the city w 13 snare wires. Location is well stocked and organized. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly."

Top notch and knowledgeable service given by Mike Wilkinson today is a pure example of what customer service should be. No pressure, honest and straightforward answers. Although it was a minor purchase (Yamaha p515), Mike treated my wife and i as if we were buying the store. Good job Mike! Cheers!

Great place for music supplies, anything you need for so many different instruments.The helpful staff found me the piano book I was looking for very quickly.

We bought a Yamaha CLP 775 piano. The sales lady was very nice and knowledgeable. Had fun Playing and learning about different pianos. She helped us narrow down our choice. Really nice helpful staff. Big investment but from a good place. We will be back for other things soon.

I like them friendly knowledgeableSelection of everything competitively priced. A little off the beaten path Bkft x58 but meh ...

I had the best experience here at this store, where I went to go and complete my research before buying a new piano. They spent so much time with me, answering all of my questions, showing me demonstrations, and helping me way pros and cons. I felt that they took the time to understand which points were the most important to me, and helped me narrow down my choice, all while respecting my budget. Excellent experience.
