Laconia Music Center Inc - New Hyde Park, New York

Stephanie Brizard

My town's music shop closed up and Laconia was a recommendation. After having an instrument repaired and being satisfied, currently doing a rental. Rental instrument is doing well and I've taken other instruments for repairs, which were reasonably priced with a quick turn around.

It's a bit of a trek for me (about 25-30min drive), but I prefer this store to one closer to me, so it's worth the drive. Highly recommend.

I’ve been renting two violins from Laconia Music Center in New Hyde Park, and I couldn’t be happier with their service! Recently, the bridge on my child’s cello shifted, and when I brought it in, they repaired it and tuned the instrument at no charge. Their attention to detail, expertise, and exceptional customer service are truly impressive. Whether you’re looking to rent instruments or need repairs, I highly recommend Laconia for all your musical needs. They go above and beyond to ensure their customers are satisfied!

Whether you are serious about music or just a beginner. This is the place to go. They are serious about the care and instructions on the instruments. Their prices are more than reasonable. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable. I have gone to other stores over the years to compare it to and I can say it is like night and day. You will have a wonderful experience going here and you and your instrument will be treated properly.

This is a gem of a music store. There are services for lessons, supplies/literature for things like NYSSMA and fabulous knowledgeable staff to guide you through any musical needs. Joan and Ray go above and beyond in their service, both owning as well as being available to help with any needs or requests. The store is expertly managed by Matthew who is a guru of all things, including a vast wealth of knowledge of music. Repairs done by Matthew and Ray are absolutely top notch, you will almost never find such extent of detail in dent work key alignment or other repair work done masterfully by Ray, or guitar work as seamlessly and sensibly done by Matthew. Ray is on a level of craftsmanship and mastery in the repair world that very few in the world can rival, I only trust him when having my tubas worked on. I trust this underrated establishment with all my music and repair needs and recommend them to anyone from beginner to seasoned pro. Laconia has gone above and beyond for me on many ocassions. Of course their teachers for private lessons are outstanding and offer a wide variety of lessons from strings to winds, several students do go on to all county and even all state. Please give this local mom and pop shop a chance, they are worth every second and penny! If you are looking for an instrument to buy or rent, lesssons or other musical needs you can rest assured you will be in great hands with people who are passionate and care deeply about each person who walks through their door. Great job as always Laconia Music!!

This review is long overdue. The level of service and professionalism found at Laconia is simply unmatched. You won't regret placing your faith here. I have come to this store multiple times for instrument repairs and each time they do not disappoint with their level of service. Since I'm a full time college student, I'm usually on a tight budget and don't like to spend a lot. That's why I'm really glad I found Laconia. Three out of the four times I've taken my instrument here for minor repairs, the service was done completely free of charge (this obviously depends on a case by case basis). The one time that I was charged, the price was more than reasonable. On top of that, they also have an extremely friendly, approachable, and cooperative team of staff. I would recommend this location to anyone in need of music services such as repairs, lessons, and/or rentals. The staff here are truly remarkable, courteous, and knowledgable. Looking forward to future visits!
