DeVoe’s Music

DeVoes Music is a well-​established local family-​owned music store that offers instruments for purchase or rental, supplies, repairs and lessons. I was recommended to them by a church friend, John W) who was working there part time as a place to get some minor to major work done on two of my trumpets. The tech, Alyssa, and the owner Armen DeVoe, are very capable and talented at repairing, rebuilding, and cleaing/​tuning up band instruments. I had them do some repairs and chemical clean on my Getzen Capri, and was so pleased I brought my Bach Stradivarius in for some dent work and re-​plating. They did an excellent job on all work, and had my Strad silver-​plated by a firm who knows what they are doing. Both horns — well loved, long played, and battle weary look and play like new! The service and support was professional, and the pricing was very reasonable. I’m very pleased with the quality of the work done, the level of service, and the customer focus of the staff. No hesitation to take my fine instruments there for service or repair. I couldn’t be happier! Parking can be tight — with a one-​way alley behind the store and a small parking lot — so look at a map before you go.

Have been coming to DeVoes for several years now. The only reason I return weekly is for my daughters awesome teacher! I agree, the staff is rude and arrogant. Dropped an instrument off to be serviced, was told it would be ready in two weeks. Came back three weeks later and it wasn’t done but than they kindly knocked it out in 5 minutes. Really?! Parking is a major issue! There are 12 parking spots and 6 of them are taken up by the employees, actually 7 spots cause they don’t know how to park. They have already had a camper and a boat parked there taking up parking, too. Really wish the teacher worked somewhere else.

Great shop for instrumental musicians. Their shop is great, and the staff is very knowledgable. They are my go to place for all things brass.
