Corner Music — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

I was very impressed with Corner Music .Being in the service business, I look for the little things. I was in town at the NAMM show with some friends with one major objective to try out a pro stage piano and was very disappointed at the show's lack of keyboards to try out! That's a side issue, but it led me to the CORNER MUSIC store because I wanted to try out a NORD. (Nord's site was pretty unhelpful when it came to finding dealers and NOT distributors).I finally stumbled through using different searches in Nashville and discovered that CORNER MUSIC carried them.

I arrived first thing Saturday am when they opened and Russel the salesman helped me. He was very helpful, personable, knowledgeable about all the keyboards and informative. What really blew me away is they carried all the lines I was considering: ROLAND, Yamaha, NORD and KORG. The keyboards, ALL of them, were plugged in, pedals functioning and sound coming out- no running around asking salesman to plug it into monitors, amplifiers etc which is so typical. Russel answered a number of questions and an hour and 1/2 later I purchased a ROLAND RD800. Very pleased with the overall experience.

The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because I was told the keyboard was to be shipped on Monday. I followed up several days later to find when it may arrive to find the keyboard had not been shipped. They apologized, did not make excuses and were right on it.

I have passed on my shopping experience to a number of people recommending Corner Music as often...

I had a great experience with Corner Music. I drove up from Chattanooga to check out Les Paul 50s goldtops. I figured I would end up getting something at Gibson Garage, but they didn't have what I was looking for. I was about to drive back home when my wife suggested I go to another store. I called Corner Music and talked to Robbie. He let me know that their inventory said they had one, but it was still in the box and they would have to find it. I discovered they had a Slash sig gold top as well. It was about a 10-15 minute drive from Cummins Station, and when I got there Robbie was putting fresh strings on the guitar I was interested in. He gave me the slash sig and a room all to myself with many amps to choose from. A few minutes later he brought me the 50s Standard. I switched between the two uninterrupted for probably 45 minutes! It was great, and I wish I didn't live 2.5 hours away. If I make another big purchase, it will be worth the drive. Heck, I need to go back because I was too excited to look at anything else. I got there, went straight to the back of the store, then straight to the front when I was done. All the staff, and customers, I interacted...

This place is my favorite shop, hands down. I love playing, but I am not a guy who can afford a ton of guitars; I have 5 and 3 of those were gifts, one was a crazy deal I lucked in to, and the one I love the most was purchased here.

Making a big purchase wasn’t a case of “let me walk in and just grab the one that I like” so I was haunting the shops around town for weeks when I finally hit my number savings-wise. This place was my favorite, and I am sure I seemed like the guy who was never going to buy anything when I popped in once a week for 3 weeks, but they never made me feel that way. They were helpful without being pushy and they set my guitar up fantastically.

Honestly, my daughter later knocked it off the stand and I had to get a tuner replaced. I had moved and I took it to a place closer to me and they didn’t do as good a job. Floating bridges are tricky was the excuse. I plan to make time to take it home to have it done right again. Learn from me people, even if you aren’t close, it is worth the trip...
