I recently bought a Taylor academy series here. The environment is comfortable and friendly, and the owner is a reasonable guy. Im happy with my purchase and would come back if I need another instrument in their line. Highly recommend.

We had a really good experience here. We rented two violins, they got us out in and out quickly and made the process simple!

I’ve been coming to coffee music off and on for over 20 years. When I’m in the area I stop by even if I don’t need anything because there that awesome of a music store. Unlike the big box music stores with young kids filling the employment position coffee music has REAL music people employed to help you. Always a friendly smile followed up with very intelligent and knowledgeable people. And the best thing is if your looking for a part, product or just information you’ll find it here.Mr Coffee is the stuff, when you see him walk down the wall of guitars then ukuleles and just reach out, pluck and tune then wile still hanging on the hook you know your in the mist of real talent. You will Never find a instrument out of tune that’s on display.It fills my heart with joy to see these type of caring stores still exist.

Superlux TM58 Series Vocal Mic. Bob Coffey does it again!!! This man knows his stuff. I needed to replace a Shure SM58 mic - he suggested I try this mic that I THOUGHT was an SM58. Said this mic was VERY similar (at 1/3 the price) Darn if he wasnt right! Mic sounds nearly identical to the three SM58s in my music room. Thanks AGAIN to Bob Coffey for steering me in the best direction while keeping my penny pinching budget in mind.

Coffey is where I go first for all my musical needs. Dont be concerned if you dont see what you want in the showroom: Just ask! I did that when recently shopping for a new keyboard. I had a great buying experience. They found what I was looking for, got it into the store so I could try it out, and sold it at a good price. The staff is always there to help.

Great customer service. I watched staff help a senior with a guitar issue and they were so patient and kind. The way you hope people would treat your mom or dad. That customer service is given to all customers.

Bob and his crew are the best! Very knowledgeable and helpful. They offer everything from lessons to accessories to great deals on new and used gear. There is always something new to check out every time go. The only thing that makes me happier then walking out of Coffey Music with some new gear is the blue coffee mug that accompanies it.

Coffey Music maintains a fairly eclectic supply of instruments and equipment to meet your music needs and provide excellent customer service! They fit all the reasons you would want to shop at a local store rather than trying to satisfy youself with some online vendor.

I’ve been going to Bob and Coffey Music for close to 20 years, made a lot of my big purchases there over that time! My Taylor guitar, my Tama drum kit, countless cymbals and stands, picks and strings! If they don’t have something in stock, they can most likely get it for you! I usually know most of their stock when I go in, but am always surprised at some of the hidden gems that come in by way of their used gear! Kid in a candy store! Thanks for the service!!

Ok place in all, someone there apparently doesnt know the difference between hex and roundcore strings wich is unsettling, especially when they sell you on nice strings theyre apparently familiar with..

Nice store with friendly staff. Always a dealer for a/the top manufacturer of whatever type of instrument I’ve been into over different periods of my life. Don’t have everything, always had a knack for having what I actually want though.For private lessons I’ve seen more organized setups, at Coffey they seem to act mainly as amatch maker between students and teachers and then just get you in touch with each other.I’ve seen that process work well and have seen it work less than well. When your matched I’d recommend making your expectations clear to the person taking your info down and asking her or him who they recommend.Coffee is a great resource to have in Westminster, have more knowledgeable staff than most competitors, and they only sell quality stuff.

I have bought most all my band gear from here since 1998. Coffey music has never let me down. They have the very best customer service of any music store I have been in. Top of the line equipment and anything you would need for your musical agenda and if they dont have it, they will get it. I recommend everyone use this store for all your music needs. All experienced and very helpful staff.

This is the most friendly music shop i think i have ever been to. The whole staff is always willing to do what it takes to get you to walk away happy. Very knowledgeable. My favorite thing is that every time i go in they encourage me to hook up to some of the best gear to check it out. I never feel pressured to buy and that always keeps me coming back when it is time to buy. My first visit here I was in town for a doctors appointment and noticed there was a music shop. I stopped in just to look as I had no money at the time for new gear. I looked around for a bit and it didnt take long for somebody to start talking to me about music. He handed me a really high end guitar and plugged me in to a high end tube amp and told me to play all I wanted knowing i had no money at the time. Next time i went in I was treated with the same friendly customer service and dropped off a group of my guitars for set ups. They all came back in excellent shape and played great.

Would rate 5 stars if selection was better but that takes$$. For a small ma&pa store you would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated team and owner. Have purchased many instruments over the years for my kids,grandkids,and myself and always gotten excellent value.

Some excellent musicians are teaching here, great opportunity for folks of all ages 7-107 to learn or improve their musical knowledge! I am delighted with the progress I have made in only 2 months! It is also very fun to see all of the cool instruments they have for sale every week!

I had a wonderful experience this week working specifically with David. Over the course of two days he was able to help me successfully troubleshoot my sound system and sell me the part I needed to get me back up and running again. This type of kind and patient customer service is a rarity in the retail world. Thanks to David and Coffey Music for all their help. I will be back!

I have personally known Bob and Claudi since the mid-80s. They have always had a first class music store. You cannot work with a nicer guy than Bob for whatever instrument or gear needed. I would highly recommend their business!!!

Nice place to go when you don’t feel like driving to Guitar Center. I probably won’t buy anything big here just because the selection is limited compared to what you can get online or at GC. The staff are always helpful and friendly.

When I moved to the area in 2000, I was a gigging weekend musician that was overjoyed to find a local shop with stock to satisfy most every musical need, including instruction from exceptional guitar teachers like Ben Sherman, Chris James and others. Since finding the store, they kept the band supplied with everything from amps to mics to cables. Friendly staff, competitive pricing (I JUST bought yet another distortion pedal for $20 less than on-line retailers), nice guitar clinics and workshops...its amazing what you can find and experience in this local Main Street store. And while the band is no longer performing, I still take lessons there, just to keep my chops fresh...we might just want to get it all going one more time.

Ive been a Coffey Music customer since their early days, back in the 80s. Bobs commitment was the same then as now; to provide great products, service and education to as many musicians and aspiring players as he can.To that end, Bob, Dave and the entire staff at Coffey s have always been kind and helpful., offering competitive pricing while maintaining a small-town friendliness.Coffey Music has a fairly wide selection of new and used instruments, from guitars, basses and amplification to pianos and band instruments, supplies and accessories.Coffeys is one of the few music retailers around still willing to do consignments on used gear as well.Coffey Music also offers lessons with some of the most qualified instructors in the region.I have never had a bad experience at Coffeys. I have made some great deals on gear over the years with Bob. I have always felt welcome there whether I was buying or just looking.

Coffeys Music is a great place to buy your musical instruments ! Everyone is very friendly ! They have lessons for anything you want to play ! I went into a store that is bigger with many stores in different towns (Mencheys ) I felt like I was walking around in a morgue ! It was too quiet and sterile ! Music is supposed to be happy ! You feel happy walking into Coffeys Music ! You guys are awesome !

I have been coming to Coffeys for years. So much that Bob used to time me for how long I played around on their wide selection of guitars. That was a while ago. Now Im always looking out for new equipment and the staff here has all the answers I need. I cant of anywhere else I would rather take my business.

Review №39

I went into Coffey after noticing them as I passed through Westminster on my way to buy some flooring at a place around the corner from them. I needed strings and figured, cool, Ill buy from a local small business. So, on my way back through I stopped in.First of all, they need to quit with the corny Strings are free if you just buy a guitar sales line. I heard that not once, but three different times while I was browsing. Every time I said I wanted to browse but would be buying strings, an employee parroted that line. It was only mildly amusing the first time, and really tired by the third time. Give it up guys.After looking around I realized their prices were way out of line, especially on their used gear and the old stock they had sitting around. Then I got to the strings I came in for. $9 a pack for GHS strings that sell everywhere else for between $5 to $6 each. Seriously? FULL MSRP on the strings apparently.This place is the only game in town as far as musical instruments, and its clear theyre aimed at students and parents who dont know any better. I try to support local small business, but Im not a sucker and dont appreciate price gouging. No thanks.

I love this music store because the employees are really helpful and its family owned ! They have a nice selection of guitars and they never make you feel pressured . They also have a luthier A.K.A. guitar tech that does really nice work !! Its one of my favorite places in Westminster, MD. Whenever I go into the store everyone is very nice to me and that makes me feel at home !!! Thats why its my favorite music store . Truly Dominick Edwards. :)

After doing extensive research on Taylors, I decided to go to Coffey Music. Not only did they allow me to play on all of their instruments, but there was never any pressure. Instead they spent a lot of time explaining the differences between the guitars. In the end, I thought I was going in to buy a Taylor 414ce, however with their help, I fell in love with a Taylor 514ce. It is a phenomenal instrument, and I am so appreciative of their guidance and support. The staff is very knowledgeable and patient, and I found them to be very helpful and willing to work with me and my needs.

Never Try and Trade an Instrument here! I went to see what they would offer for both a MINT PRS Custom 24 20th anniversary 10-top, and Taylor 314ce in exchange for a new Taylor 814ce. Yeah they said 1500 for both, I literally laughed in their faces and walked out. Ended up going to guitar center and they offered my $2100 for my prs and $1000 for my Taylor. I guess a smaller company isnt always better, thats unfortunate because they are a neat little shop.
