What People are Saying

• I visited with my two sons over the Thanksgiving holiday and I was pleased with how friendly and easygoing the staff was. They encouraged us to try different instruments and made us feel welcome.

The staff is professional and knowledgeable. I purchased a Fishman acoustic guitar amp and I'm thrilled with it!

I came in looking for a nylon string guitar with a pretty good idea of what I wanted to find. After playing a couple of different guitars and not quite getting the tonal clarity I was after, one of the guys suggested I try the Taylor I that ended up buying. Thrilled to be able get the quality I want from a locally owned shop.

Just bought a Tele body on Reverb from Ray's. Have to say, thank you Logan and crew! You all are awesome! The pictures provided with the listing were 100% accurate. Showed the true color and any defects were circled on the picture and noted. Which can be hard to achieve with online listings. I called the store after the purchase with a question or two and Logan was more than happy to help answer anything I had. I live nowhere near local to Ray's Midbell but I will be using them more in the future just off this experience.

I called them to see about hours right now and he said they would deliver! I told him what I thought I "needed" and he said it would be there tomorrow. He called about a half hour later to say he would drop it off if I was home. I was, he stopped and passed it through his window and I had the stings I "needed" and some other stuff. Mike was great on the phone and is great to work with

I had an acoustic guitar repaired there and Phillip the repair tech hooked me up. Was able to install some factory parts on the guitar and made it sound amazing. I would highly recommend Mid bell to anyone. The guitar looks and sound terrific. Thank guys for the extra added touch

I played my flute extensively through college, but have only picked it up every now and then in the decade since. I want to play more, but was discouraged by how horrible my flute sounded. I sent it to Midbell and they were able to clean and adjust it for a very reasonable price. It sounds like a whole new instrument and I actually have hope of getting back to the level I was at in college. Highly recommend them!

Ray’s Midbell Music really saved my butt last night! The airport lost my guitar and I had a one night gig at Morningside college. Ray’s rented me a fabulous guitar and the gear I needed at a great rate and I was able to play my show. Thank you Alicia and everyone at Ray’s. Truly, I couldn’t have done it without you!
