As a newbie player, many of the stores I go to don’t really want to deal with my questions. I’ve been really happy with this shop and will continue to support them. There is easy parking in the back alley.
Good Place to Get Music Instruments at reasonable prices.
They really seem to know their stuff
B Sharp has very friendly and helpful staff. They carry an assortment of instruments, amps, speakers and musical attire. What you need they have! If you dont see it just ask they will find it for you.
Small shop, so not a lot on the floor, but they’re very knowledgeable and very good for getting stuff ordered in. Talk to Craig. He’s excellent.
Phoned in looking for a cable for my keyboard/piano. Very helpful.
Dirty atmosphere, scattered and incomplete selection. Staff ignored questions and opted instead to tell me about their personal experiences in the music industry and spent a fair amount of time trash talking other music stores in the city, as well as threatening that the product I was after (which was recommended to me by an industry professional) was a bad product (it has served me well so far,) I believe though that this was to help push an alternative sales agenda as the solution the salesperson came up with for me (which would have worked well I must admit) was $500 more than the $200 budget I was upfront with him in declaring.
When I turned down his solution he began to berate me as an artist, claiming that I would not be able to accomplish much unless I spent at LEAST as much as he was trying to sell me.
Will never return.
3. Long & McQuade Musical Instruments
Address: 1445 McIntyre St, Regina, SK S4R 8B5, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
I purchased an Apollo twin from this store earlier this week. After having a mix up with the cord and a misunderstanding Calvin the store manager called me and worked with me to make the situation right. Thank you guys so much for the amazing customer service I VERY HIGHLY recommend using them for any music needs. The customer service is UNBEATABLE
Great service
I have been going to Long & McQuade for 9 years for piano lessons. The teachers are knowledgeable and the staff has always been kind and helpful whenever my family has gone shopping in the store. The instruments are great quality. Would highly recommend Long & McQuade to anyone interested in anything musical.
Purchase one Yamaha Guitar. Good staff and everything displayed nicely.
I struggle with L and M. One one hand, they easily have the best selection in the city, which is awesome.
My struggle comes with the service from some of the guys who’ve been there for years. I think it’s become more of a place where they can talk about how good they were and the awesome gigs they’ve played, rather than help customers. Again, not all staff, just a couple of the older employees.
And finally, I’ll give another kudos before I leave. L&M has a great return policy. I’ve had to return stuff and they are terrific to work with.
Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Large selection of music, instruments all at fair prices
Been in there 3 times.. only one bad time cause the guy made me feel stupid when im just starting playing guitar but the other 2 times awesome service and help
This week I attended Long & McQuade to buy a piano book for my daughter. For reasons unbeknownst to me, my debit card has been saved into the L&M system but with someone else’s name connected to it.
I was not notified of this mistake while I paid, nor in the moments after I paid when I remained in the store browsing at a few more books. Instead, what followed was absolute buffoonery at best, and discrimination at worst.
For the sake of my story, I’ll call the Sales Associate, Paul Blart. Paul contacted the person who’s name was attached to my debit card and asked her if her card had been stolen. She said no. Paul stated that a woman had been in the store, who potentially had access to this person’s debit card. She said everything looked fine with her bank account. Here is where my story should end. However, this clown goes on to send a PHOTO OF MYSELF AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER from their security camera, asking if this person knows who I am. Luckily, this person did know me, and she notified me of the situation immediately.
I wasted no time to call and talk to Paul Blart, who was snarky, defensive and dismissive of my concerns with him accusing me of debit theft but most importantly sending photos of myself AND MY SMALL CHILD to random people. Mr Blart told me that he was PrOtEcTiNg me. Accountability can be hard for some people, I guess.
There is so so so much wrong with my experience. I don’t want to call this something that it’s not, but I can certainly tell you what it feels like.
I returned the book to the store, and will find other music stores to support from here on out.
Note: I have edited the post to remove names.
Pretentious staff. Was looking around and never was approached to see if I could be helped. Came looking for a 8 gauge strings and tubes for amp. Was met with laughs and scoffs saying that “nobody carries those”. Very unwelcoming
4. Get It In Stitches
Address: #1 Penny Ln, Pilot Butte, SK S0G 3Z0, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
I have a rugged carhartt jacket with a damaged zipper, I had posted on a local Regina business group on Facebook and got in contact with Penny. Made the trip out to pilot butte and after a quick turn around time she had replace the entire zipper entirely with a more heavier duty one! Great work, will definitely return to Penny for all my embroidery needs.
Get It In Stitches does fabulous Embroidery…. they are very efficient and always willing to satisfy their customer’s …
I have been doing business with Get it in Stitches for years now and I strongly recommend them to anyone. The work quality and professionalism is second to none. Great service and turnaround every time.
Excellent work
Unfortunately my experience with Get It In Stitches did not match the other reviews. I brought in one sweatshirt to have some embroidery work done in July. Mid September I followed up to confirm if the piece can be completed by October 16, the reply was “yes”, October 15 I emailed to confirm pickup (no reply), the day of the scheduled pickup I called to confirm and found out my project had not even been started (it felt like it had been forgotten). I withdrew my order, which is unfortunate because I think it would have been a great end result, but unfortunately I did not receive the same level of customer service as others did.
5. Dennis Weist Piano
Address: 2050 College Ave, Regina, SK S4P 4M3, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
The people here are very knowledgeable and friendly!
The staff are always courteous and professional. They are quick with servicing instruments.
Staff is friendly and seem to know their stuff
Lots of selection, plesent staff, can be flexible if wanting to rent an instrument, loved the experience.
All across the country yout stores are great. Thanks
Horrible experience thus far. Spent $11,000+ on a Yamaha digital grand piano in January 2020 (Regina store). Had issues with dead keys right from the start. Left messages for piano sales to call me…two weeks went by waiting for them to return my calls but they never did. Had to track the sales person down myself. She was very evasive about what my options were. Now waiting for their third party service technician to call. Will never buy another instrument from St. John’s.
Been taking my flute here for maintenance for 9 years. For the last two, it comes back to me with loose screws and poor cleaning. Will not ever consider taking it back to be looked at; I feel they just throw it in cleaning solution for a few minutes then charge me for a full tune up.
7. Chip’s Guitars – Setups & Repairs
Address: 14 Ave, Regina, SK S4T 1S2, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
Very passionate and hardworking guy with a sound knowledge about his work. One of the kindest guitar tech i ever met. It was a really good experience getting my guitar fixed. Plays like magic now!
8. Franz Guitarworks
Address: 1848 Broder St, Regina, SK S4N 3R8, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
This is a great place you can enjoy getting compact discs, vinyl records, DVDs, headphones and more.
So if you like all that great stuff instead of downloading it to your computer or phone this is the place for you to enjoy the great manatees of things on a disc and to get yourself some other greats things as gifts.
The price for some products here, particularly movies is higher then a lot of it’s counterparts including brick and mortar stores like Walmart and online competitors like Amazon. This makes going and buying from here a tough pill to swallow.
I also don’t think I’ve ever had a remarkable experience with the staff here which is unfortunate as they’re really the face of their business.
That said, the atmosphere and layout can, somewhat, make up for the five to ten dollar price difference. Just prepare for sticker shock when you go in.
Good place spend time here
Been 3 months and still no cd I ordered terrible service.
Taylor Swifts 1989 just got released on Friday. Today I called my local Sunrise, Cornwall Center in Regina. I was informed that Taylor Swift 1989 is not released until Nov 15. It was released last Friday. OCTOBER 27. The manager confirmed that Taylor Swift 1989 is still in the case in the backroom, and has not been put out yet. I informed them it was released last Friday. When I went to that Sunrise to get my CD, They were only NOW putting out the case of CDs and Vinyls. This is unacceptable.
The price on the CD was $12 they charged me $16 when I came back a minute later to get my refund they said that they can’t give me a refund because if they change prices they get fired so they couldn’t change the price even though the price was clearly written on the CD as $12. HMV would’ve never done me dirty like that. Rip hmv.
14. Blue Door Recording
Address: 1118 Broad St, Regina, SK S4R 1X8, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
What a fantastic experience. This was my first visit to a professional studio, and the results speak for themselves. I had the priviledge of working with Ellie, who was very organized/professional,
making the MOST of the time we had. He had me in half-an-hour early to speak about my musical direction, which shows how much these guys care not only about the Mix, but also about setting you up with a realistic outlook on your vision/budget. The redording/mixing process was VERY efficient/organized, I will be going back to Blue Door and ONLY Blue Door for my time in Regina. Thank you guys for such a productive session. Very motivating!!
Dope bring your own water though
Had a lot of fun recording with Blue Door. With it being my first time in the studio, it felt like I’d be flying blind; Whether it was finding the right musicians to play on my tracks or advice given throughout the sessions, they made it all very easy for me. Thanks Ellie and Brian!
Facebook
Great and energic ambiance for creative work. High end music creation gear in a serene space
Total jerk on the phone he told me off. I wrote over 100 songs and he’s not interested!!!! When I’m a superstar he will regret it. Losers. Try someone else.
15. Roman Music
Address: 1402 Rose St Suite 202, Regina, SK S4R 1Z9, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
Great Valentines Date with the wife. Great steak V-day meal , great service and staff.
Went for sunday buffet, everything was fresh, and the staff was awesome.
The food quality doesnt match the price. Even though they tasted ok, chicken tenders were clearly overcooked, same with the nachos.
Amazing burger (the biggest one)
Amazing food and a great brunch. Local and domestic beer. Cozy place not far from the city.
won’t go back
Do not get the appy platter it’s supposed to feed 4 people for 62$ smallest portions I’ve ever seen all 3 of us left starving and disappointed won’t be back
It’s in a basement it’s full of fat chicks it’s expensive the service is poor they don’t appreciate your business I wouldn’t go back if they paid me the DJ was bad it disgusted me why is this place still open it would be better served as a water slide parts storage Depot dewdney Avenue deserves better it is a crying shame my voice recognition review of this place does not do it justice please don’t go here go somewhere else buy a pizza go to Houston
17. I Ching Music
Address: 3245 Robinson St, Regina, SK S4S 1V8, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
Misses this movie on the big screen, so picked up a copy for home
Great place excellent selection
It’s great, worth checking out
Did not VISIT THIS STORE.
Some of their staff are just rude. Not impressed.
Asked for help finding a Toto cd and was asked “what Toto is”, followed up by “are they rap?” That was honestly the worst question a music store employee could have asked someone. Not impressed.
The worst customer service I have ever experienced anywhere, not to mention flat out disorganized and dirty in this store. They never focus on cleanliness at all it seems. Staff have no knowledge of anything and are flat out rude. Prices are out of this world, they totally gouge you. Save yourself from shopping in store and shop online to save both ways.
20. Vintage Vinyl & Hemp Emporium
Address: 2335 11th Ave, Regina, SK S4P 0K2, Canada , Pilot Butte , Saskatchewan , Canada
Everyone was so nice and they had a huge collection of cool shirts
Cool
Awesome selection and wonderful staff. Always a good time when I’m here!
Great collection! And a very good smoke shop.
love the staff.. always helpful and polite.. store carries a vast selection of cool novelty collectables and clothing.. good selection of used music..
Always friendly and accommodating.
This place is an absolute joke!
It should say welcome to clown World on the front door. The staff are grumpy and ignorant. The guy threw a temper tantrum when I asked him a question he didn’t like, then swore at me when I was asking why he was being so rude. Classy classy place. I find better products at Value Village, and smarter staff at Sarcan.
Fat dude behind till was a douche
Really wish they would modernize their system. I bought an e-nail in August. It quit working and so I brought it in. Because I lost the reciept they will not look at my electronic nail.which they built in their store. Thoroughly disappointed that Vintage Vinyl & Hemp Emporium does not stand by their products. This is not the first time I have been disappointed but i spent over $600. So does anyone know what I can do?
