This establishment is my favorite place in town. I moved to the area 5 years ago and made friends with the owner Mr. Doug Cotton ... And I've had a place to feel a part of the community due to their kindness and exceptional fairness in prices and the way you are treated when you visit. There is no other place for me.

A+ Doug went above and beyond and just stayed well after closing just to sell me some banjo strings... stand-up guy at a stand-up store.

I WOULD NOT TAKE MUSIC LESSONS HERE!!!!

Signed up for guitar lessons the instructor was rude, when I went to my second lesson the instructor didn't show up. I called Whip City several times and I never got back to me for the lessons I paid for.

If you're looking to learn instrument I would recommend guitar center they're very professional there and have really good instructors there.

Doug is great and works with great techs and luthiers to provide the areas premier music shop experience. Always quick with a joke and a story, makes you feel like you are at a friend's house ready to start that long overdue garage band. Their prices are competitive and lessons are available for a range of instruments. I gladly pass up Guitar Center on my way to see them!

I'm not a music pro, but they've been very helpful in my journey towards learning guitar. Even if I'm trying to self teach, these guys are very nice and patient and willing to answer whatever questions I might have. They've even stayed late and worked with me on some pricing. Almost every piece of equipment that I have came from here.
