I found what I was looking for in this music store and also discovered some interesting collections of my favorite singer. I would like to visit again to see what else they have got. Perfect music store.

Double-check you bill>>> overcharge – Very cool store, and a friendly, competent guy, BUT he tried charging us for something we did not buy. I was there with my nephew from out of town, and maybe he took us for tourists... We selected some guitar strings and two recorders, and paid by credit card. We were in a bit of a hurry, and the total seemed high, but I just signed and we went on our way. Then I started thinking about the amount, and looked on the sales receipt: voila, he charged $12.99 for a "Blues Bottle". I turned ri... read more

Business response:

Transaction mistakes rarely happen and we take them very seriously. We work hard to prevent these mistakes from happening and to correct them when they do. In this case it was a faulty Bar Code scanner. We beg your pardon and thank you for shopping at First Flight Music. Thanks for voicing your concern, Mgmt, First Flight Music

best music store ever – all i can say is that these guys are f*cking awesome. we decided to come here instead of the east village music shop (even if their selection is more widely ranged) because we have gone there in the past and they just try to push, push, push, sell, sell, sell. the three that i met here (including the owner) were the most helpful/sweetest people in the entire world. i won't lie, i'm pretty bad at playing (because i'm learning), but i came there with my little mini acoustic electric after not having pla... read more

Great people – This is a great shop with some great deals on equipment...everything from horns to guitars. More importantly they are all super cool and super helpful. My wife is a beginner at the guitar and she brought the guitar down to them (nothing fancy at all) ,and they helped her with how to string and tune it. She walked out with a simple tuner and wasn't pressured into buying anything more. No pressure, no attitude. They've got my business.

First Flight Music – I have been searching for a full service music store in New York since moving here four years ago. First Flight is it. Their broad selection of instruments and helpful staff are the best of any music store in the downtown area. Dan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable regarding all things music and is always willing to take the time to answer questions. And although I have yet to use their repair shop, the tecnicians are very reputable by all accounts. This place is awesome!!!

knowledgeable & enthusiastic – I went here to buy a part for my guitar and was quite pleased with the selection and service. They had the right part (a potentiameter) and what looks to be a great selection of guitars and musical knickknacks. Also a wall full of strings of all sorts. I will definately return when I need to make my next musical purchase!
