Moe’s Music

The music world is fascinating. So much creativity and wonderful experiences. Moe’s music is such a great place because it has introduced me to the art of the music world. It’s an honest, quality run store that specializes in basically most of your musical needs. I’m a violinist and I’ve been a loyal customer for 3 years. I even take lessons there.
I highly recommend the teachers they have there. Especially the classical music teacher, Mrs. Teresa, is amazing! She’s absolutely excellent and always loves to see her students succeed.
Then there’s the amazing staff. The staff there is knowledgeable, very friendly and just, honest. They don’t pressure you into anything. Want to buy a guitar? There’s a room purely for trying them out and a staff ready to answer any questions about them. Need some advice? Again, a knowledgeable and ready staff is there! You get this sense that your part of a community that strives to always make music a great part of your life, something enjoyable.
My favorite person there is Chuck, the owner of the store. He’s a great person that always wants the best for his customers. If you need anything, whether they currently have it or not, they will make sure your able to get it. Chuck is a very experienced guy, he knows what the best or most requested things are by teachers/​parents. He’s also very wise, he knows what he’s doing.
Overall, everything from the products to the staff is remarkable. They carry quality products that you can depend on. Developing my violin skills has been so fantastic, especially with their support. You’ll see me there every week!

I passed Moe’s a lot on the boulevard, but finally went in when I was thinking about picking up a new amp and guitar. I shopped around and was greeted with friendliness but also given my space to try out the guitars in the acoustic room without feeling any sale pressure.
When I was finished, the gentleman (who turned out to be the owner) was cordial and down to earth. He offered me a few deals in advance, because I indicated I wasn’t sure if I was just going to repair my old acoustics or just repurchase. I went on my way and later returned to purchase.
The guitar I was in love with was gone because I waited too long, but the friendliness stayed. We made a reasonable deal, and he gave me more than one reason to want to return.
The only things that keep me from the fourth and fifth star are that noise that comes from the lessons (which were clearly beginners!) but that would never stop me from going back. We were all beginners once. And hey we’re playing instruments I knew nothing about. Also, a little more stock would be nice, but space is limited. I settled on a guitar half as good as I wanted, because I still found good product (Takamine) at good price with great people.
What you see is what you get, plus good conversation.

Nice, friendly, and informative staff. Went to rent an instrument for school. After the initial fees it come out to about $ 50 a month. Not bad, I guess.

More of a «local» feel than those chain music stores. As a parent looking for a rental violin for my child, I wanted a good quality instrument for a beginner with a reasonable rental agreement. Owner very helpful, and knowledgeable about the books, etc. that local schools would require. No pressure, but lots of good information for parents.

It’s been a long time since I was in Moe’s. The place smells like an old garage or a hard ware store. :)
Scent aside they have great customer service here. This isn’t a volume selling business like Guitar Center or Alpha and they concentrate on a more personable experience with lots of lessons offered, repairs and such.
You can find them in the Pinewood Shoppes on Va. Beach Blvd
