Exeter Music LLC

Great local shop to pick up what you need — always in stock on reeds, strings, etc
The owners are so nice and helpful, and they appreciate their clientele. Once I was $ 2 short on cash to buy my sons reeds, and they told me just to get them next time.
My son is just starting lessons so I cant personally rate on that, but the reason we are going there is from rave reviews from people we know about the caliber of the teachers
That is what a local business is all about, knowing your customer and creating a long time one

Very happy with the service and knowledge. Waiting to make sure my son is really into the guitar, but based on prices, quality and service, we’ll buy from here for him and I!

One of the last dinosaurs — a small, downtown music shop locally owned, not swallowed by the Music and Arts franchise and not shuttered for lack of business. Ignore the Unilocal superstar from Lowell’s prior comments about the owners being jerks. The two guys behind the counter who own the shop are known by regulars as decent, honest and friendly. Of course their inventory is microscopic compared to a Guitar Center and probably somewhat more expensive than the online sellers. (And they certainly don’t make their living selling CDs.) Exeter Music should be regarded for what it is – a local community treasure. The last place in our locale where you can get your kid some guitar, drum or piano lessons, buy everyday band instrument supplies, get experienced instrument repair or luthier work done without a huge price tag, browse a decent sheet music inventory, and join a chat about bands or politics if you’d like. The fact that they have only a couple of lesser lines of guitars for sale in-​store is the least of the reasons Exeter Music is so valuable. Some of us bring our business there just because the store IS locally owned. For more guitar selection (plus band instrument supplies and service) in a similar store, check Earcraft and Ralph’s in downtown Dover — a 40-​mile roundtrip drive. And there’s always Daddy’s Junky Music (Portsmouth) if you’re looking for beaten-​up rock gear or a new Strat in a den of teen pretension overseen by clerks who steadfastly call all of us, even those with gray or absent hair, «dude.»

Pretty weak shop.
Unfortunately, it’s tough for places this size to offer quality guitars. They stock the essential accessories but not enough of the higher end strings etc to bring me back. There odd selection of new and used CDs also won’t bring me back.
Ultimately, they are doing the best they can I believe with what they can offer. My biggest complaint? The guys who work there are jerks. I know a good guitar when I see one. If you don’t have what I’m looking for — be honest about it and don’t try to pull one over on me.
FAIL

Exeter Music has a selection of CDs and sheet music, although not a huge selection. The reason I like Exeter Music is because of the used CDs that they sell. I’ve found a bunch of good deals on slightly used CDs, and it’s a pretty convenient location, right downtown. The guys who own the place are really nice, too.
