After a horrible experience at another local music store, we decided to give Guitar Center a try. And boy are we happy! Even though they don't specialize in orchestra instruments, they do offer them online. Cody helped us select an upright bass for my son to play. He took the time to look at several different models and pick the one that included the case and bow! He also mentioned that they had a special 36 months interest free finance available. So after everything, we ended up with $50/month for a brand new upright bass with insurance, while the competitors wanted to charge $65/month for an 8 year old used, and you don't keep it it's only a rental. Again big thank you to Cody and everyone else at Guitar Center that helped make the experience a great one!
