I have been to many music shops around the GTA and of them all, I think this store is one of the best.
The selection of guitars is very good, especially acoustics. They must have the largest selection of acoustics, in all price ranges, of any store in the GTA.
The selection of electrics and basses is also strong. The drum and keyboard sections of the store are good as well although a little small.
The best part of going to The Arts is the staff.... They are extremely helpful and take the time wether you are there to buy $200 guitar or a $2000. The level of service is the same. They will also leave you alone if that is what you want. There is no pressure and and you are free to try any instrument in the store.
I have reached an age in life where I have the money now to spend on decent gear and there is no place I would rather spend that money that The Arts.
