Amazing collection, awesome staff, lots of unique pieces and still your more basic things too. I went for a guitar, and almost walked out with 2. Everything is priced right, comparing to other shops and online. Definitely recommend checking out.

Wow! Did these guy have some stuff?!?! I did not expect such a huge selection. From plastic starter trumpets and other horns to high-end guitars and drum kits. The person that helped me was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was worth the drive from uptown to Kennabarh.

C&M is a great spot for new musical gear in the New Orleans area. Huge selection of guitars, friendly owners, and no hard sell. My first time in the shop, Mel made me feel like an old friend and let me take my time and play every instrument I wanted to. Its clear these guys just want to help folks find the right instrument. If you want to talk to staff who are actually knowledgeable about what they sell, and get great customer service, forget Guitar Center and support this local shop. You wont regret it.

Excellent Service. Talked with Tim Belanger and purchased a new acoustic. He was extremely helpful and went out of his way to explain subtle differences in the products. Would highly recommend this company

Mel is an awesome guy. Clicked with him instantly because of our love and dedication to music. Over-the-top helpful for even minor sales! Rock on Mel!!

Great Staff, so helpful and very knowledgeable. Prices are very good and so many Guitar choices. I only shop C&M for my musical needs because I know they will have or can get whatever I need.

I love this place. Its in a great location off of the interstate in Kenner. Great people that can help with any music issues you may have .Especially Mel.Thanks Mel for all of your help.

Always a great place for you music purchases. Melvin is the most honest and friendliest owner anywhere and he knows his stuff about music. This is the place forget guitar center go to C&M!!

The most experienced and helpful in the business. Excellent assortment of equipment and a rather professional crew.

Great place! Bought a bass guitar, super helpful and friendly! Would definitely buy again from them. Also great prices!

Huge selection of musical anything. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. Bought my son a new fretless acoustic bass...among a few other new toys. Super happy with our purchases, the prices, and the help we got deciding! ! This will definitely be a stop we make everytime we are in town! Thanks to everyone there that made this trip extra special for us.

Staff behind main counter was extremely helpful and nice. Fat guy with brown beard and stringy and greasy hair behind repair counter could use a lesson in manners and customer service

Purchased a D18 modern deluxe guitar from Tim that I saw on Reverb. Tim worked with me on every aspect of the

I ordered a guitar from them online. I really appreciated their prompt response and fast shipping. Everything was as promised and at a fair price. Im very pleased and would definitely do business with them again! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Its always a good visit to the store a lot of new instruments in the store and the staff is always courteous and helpful

A++ all the way! Spector bass is perfect and Tim was great to deal with. Thank you so much!

Lots of Guitars and a nice looking store but this is the first guitar shop I’ve ever been to that won’t let you play a guitar they are selling. Maybe I don’t look like I have enough money to buy this $1500 guitar but that didn’t stop Carters in Nashville from letting me play a $30,000 Martin! Oh Well! Maybe I’ll come back cleaned up and see if that changes anything.. nah probably not. I am gonna write about it in a song! Lol

Great staff incredible priceBeats the #$=@ out of guitar center

Best guitar store around. Been shopping with them for 20+years.

Totally awesome dudes here...the owner is a great guy! They have tons of nice stuff too. Highly recommend!

Again no problem going inside to get stuff long as you have a mask. Everybody there is friendly and helpful

Always great attitude and always helpful. Still love coming here over 20 years!

The best place for music equipment in New Orleans, by far. I was in search of a bass and amp, but didnt really know what I wanted and needed to test out some different models. This can sometimes be an intimidating experience at other stores like Guitar Center. At C&M, the entire staff was extremely helpful and gave me the complete freedom to find the exact bass and amp I wanted (it took me almost 3 hours). Alex in particular was great to work with and helped me find the perfect bass and amp combo, which I now happily own.

Staff is great and prices are fair!!

Great place to get guitars, strings, something fixed, anything really. The people there are nice and helpful, and have never had a bad experience.

Professional musicians run this great establishment. There is no better place anywhere to buy a musical instrument. Everyone is great and knowledgeable very very awesome people employees. Great prices the best anywhere. They constantly sell to school churches great musicians. We bought a lot of different musical items and the service is the best. The

Ive been shopping here since 1997. I am a local DJ who stops by from time to time to upgrade my rig, checking out the latest P.A. gear, stage lighting and accessories. Ive seen this store since the beginning when it was a small hole in wall music store originally. Everybody knows me here. Im always greeted by everyone the second I set foot in the door. The salespeople are very respectful, very knowledgeable and professional. They helped my business in the last 22 years with sound advice. Anytime I encountered a problem such as damaged equipment during shipment, out of box or dead on arrivals, and its only a rare occasion, its handled and corrected immediately. Feels like family when Im shopping here, thank you C&M Music for 22 years of service and memories. -Jason

Awesome service. Just came from buying a guitar. Staff members were friendly and helpful.

Worst ever online purchase ever! I bought a fender which was just thrown into a box with no protection at all. Do you think it got damaged during transit? .....Was swore at by customer service trying to return, ended up keeping it. Long story short I had it repaired and Im sueing to recover repair costs. This store could care less about an instrument as evident with my purchase. Id leave no star but I can not. DONT BUY FROM HERE ONLINE EVER....SCAMMERS AND RIP OFF ARTISTS

While no one is likely to call this store spacious or neat, those arent generally the goals of a good music store. C&M is packed with everything this non-musician thinks a musician would need. While this visit was successfully focused on a folding keyboard bench, other trips with other goals have been just as productive. From amplifiers to Z-stands, you can find it here, but you might have to do some climbing over other stuff to get it.

Lowest prices in town, staff treats you as a friend and helps you get what you need at the right price. And even better, all the equipment is hugh end brands! My favorite music store by far.

Musicians Paradise!With all the Newest Audio Sound Plus an in-house Audio repair shop!

Best place to shop your favorite instrument, Mr. Mel will take care of you in whatever you need and also help you with any thoughts and suggestions. Best service ever, better than guitar center. This people know what they say. Give them a visit.

We made a special trip to Kenner from Mississippi because theyre the closest authorized Rickenbacker dealer. The owner said he keeps them in the back and only does online sales. Said hed break one out but only if we were going to buy it, and acted like it would be a big pain in the rear. First, I can stay home and order any guitar I want from my iPhone because 2020. Second, not all Rics are the same and Im not going to pay that much for a guitar I havent felt in my hands first.. which is why we were there. I was fully prepared to buy if it felt right.. Cant give you a guarantee before even looking at it. So we left.

Awesome store, very friendly, well stocked, good prices.

The people working here are very kind and very knowledgeable about the business! It is a pleasure shopping there and I will continue to give these people my business far into the future!

Mel, one of the owners, showed my son how to better maintain his trumpet. He also showed him a cheaper way to repair it. Best place in the city to get band equipment.

Mel listens attentively to his customers; gives great advice and service. This store offers good quality and selection of musical instruments.

Nice selection of guitars, limited drum selection.

Go see Mel. The man is awesome! He really knows his business, and is a pleasure to deal with, and will be more than happy to help you.This is a quality store. Pro gear, great prices, and great customer service. Thanks Mel!

Service is the best this people treat you like family every time you visit the store

Large slection of guitars basses drums ukes and other instruments. Alot better than the competitors

Absolutely amazing service, couldnt have asked for better staff who guided me into buying my first electric guitar, equipment, etc. I would highly recommend this place for musicians of all age ranges and levels of experience.

Huge store with a bigger selection. Melvin and Eddie are the best!!! If you need anything from pa to backline to band instruments, this is the place to go. Thanks guys for all the help thru the years....keep up the great work!!!

I really enjoyed working with Alex and Tim through the whole process of buying my guitar. First of all they had it. These guys keep a really nice inventory. Im a bit fussy and was looking for something specific and they went out of their way to accommodate me. Ill definitely think of them again for my next purchase. Cant go wrong here. Oh, and the guitar is sick! Perfectly set up and glorious. PRS DGT Goldtop w/Birds in nitro finish. Cheers guys!

The absolute best. Words cannot describe how helpful and knowledgeable the staff is. If you want a more personal relationship with your music store then look no further. I wouldnt rather any other store for all of my purchases

The staff here make this store what it is. A bunch of knowledgeable guys and gals who understand guitar and can offer sound opinion

Mel is the man. Gave us a great price on a American telecaster. Very nice store

Staff was knowledgable and very helpful. Prices were good. Had a much better experience than Guitar Center. My go to place for equipment now.

Great place good coustumer service

Well I lik the bes play

Friendly knowledgeable helpfully and plenty of selection.

I feel at home here

Great instruments and great employees! Really nice people.

If what you like is the music in this place you can get what you need, have quality equipment, the latest in sound technology, as a suggestion I think they should improve prices and attention for Latinos who do not handle much English, otherwise it is a good place to buy.

This place is GREAT!!!! Very friendly knowledgeable staff!!! Will definitely shop here more in the future. Found exactly what I was looking for!!!!

Nice people, and prices

Great place. Mel hooked me up with everything I was looking for. Great service! Guitar center can kiss my butt.
