I’ve spent a lot of time here as a customer, and it really is a great place. They fix my ancient bassoon quite frequently. I’m glad we have a local repairman for instruments instead of having to travel far and wide in search for one. They also have a variety of equipment and offer lessons for a plethora of instruments.
Ryan sold me an excellent slope shoulder all mahogany dreadnought guitar. It really is a beautiful example of the streetmaster by Martin.C.A. House of Music is an awesome place to shop instruments. We are lucky to have them in our community!
C.A. House is the best music store Ive ever been to they have the best staff and it has a family atmosphere. Ive gotten excellent feedback from the friends and familys Ive referred to them. Thank you!!
This is a good place for this community. Be careful on the pricing of products. They are able to charge much more than the actual cost of items due to the lack of knowledge and scarcity of product in the MOV. Otherwise its still a good place to find most of what you need.
I will absolutely do ALL of my shopping here from now onThe staff is so professional, knowledgeable and friendly! AND they offer full services. Shout out to Brice and Ryan for helping me make a great purchase.
After living in a nearby town for 10 years, I finally made a trip to this place...and it was awesome! They had a great layout, friendly staff, and more equipment than expected during this gear drought caused by the global pandemic.I was able to finally strap up a Fender Jazzmaster and compare it against a Fender Telecaster without any issues. The metal-looking mf in that guitar region of the store was exceptionally kind. He gave me space to fiddle around for about ten minutes total but was never so deep in something else that he couldnt answer any questions. I like this spot and will he back. I endorse this location so far.
I have not bought new equipment in years. How nice was it to go look at so much gear in one spot.Ill be back again!
Took my strat in for fret work and setup with a pickup install. Ryan was super professional in helping me select the right pickup and Sean provided beyond quality work on the guitar. I can recommend these guys enough. Will be a returning customer for sure.
Had a great experience buying my boyfriend a new guitar (a Taylor acoustic). Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
Very nice people, great atmosphere have gotten 2 guitars from there in the last 2 weeks and I will continue to come back for everything I need in the future.
These people are friendly and super helpful. The gentleman that talked to us was extremely knowledgeable. Well definitely go back when our child upgrades their instrument
Great place to buy guitars, the staff stayed late for me to get a guitar!!! the best guitar store in the tri state area. big selection
Greeted on entry and assisted as needed. Freindly atmosphere. Got what I needed.
Great store with fantastic and helpful staff willing to go the extra mile to make sure you experience is a positive one.
Ive been going here for over a decade - everyone is very nice and extremely helpful. I have gotten several instruments repaired here over the years and they do a great job too, definitely my go to music shop in the area!
If you are a musician, CA house. If you know a musician, CA House.
Nice shop. Great selection, but a little pricey.
Even though CA House Music is one of the only music stores around, they dont act like you have no other choice... Theyre WONDERFUL.I have a kiddo who wants to TRY to play with the school band. Even though I did not get instrument from them, they happily and quickly inspected it, made some quick repairs, and set me up with the books and cleaning kit. Very polite and professional. Highly recommended. Plus I noticed that they have A HUGE SELECTION of every kind of instrument I could think of. Ill def go there again.
Great guitars and the staff were super helpful and friendly!! :)
I love the staff! I had my Gibson Les Paul set up here, and they did a great job. I also bought a Taylor acoustic guitar from here, and Im happy with the quality, and the price.
The service at C.A. House music is great! The salesman I spoke with was patient, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. I will be returning!
Awesome store incredibly friendly staff.
Friendly staff. Prices high but makes sense considering no competition.
Was in a dire need of a specific cord. They had just what I needed. Friendly staff had me out the door quickly!
A great music store regardless of what instrument you play. Ryan and Sean in the guitar department are both tremendous. A full selection of percussion, keys, and orchestral instruments as well. CA House also offers repair services, and can get your equipment back in tip top shape without needing you to give them all your money. Seriously, theyre really good.
Excellent service and helpful staff.
Very helpful. These guys are in tune with local school band needs. If you have never been here before, it can be hard to find; especially if you are using Google maps. It is way behind the Wendys. Just enter their lot and exit out the back into the C.A. Music lot.
Awsome staff i could spend all day there
Great service, and even better people, favorite music store around.
Experts at what they do..and honest answers. This is a well informed team..add fair prices on instruments, and a large selection to choose from this makes for a winning combo for the customer..some lessons available and so much more.
Helpful staff and I found what I was looking for. Prices were a bit more than expected.
Bought a Taylor and Fishman amp. Great service from Ryan and no pressure when it took me a couple hours to decide on a guitar. Highly recommend this place for your next guitar purchase.
I just purchased a Fender bass a month ago. Ive never in my life been helped by someone so genuine. I really enjoy my bass and was not misled. It was an excellent value and one of the most well spent purchases Ive made for myself. Thank you!
They were very helpful getting my sons his drum starter kit. And the prices are not bad. I can see a long happy partner ship with them. Thank you C A music house.
A Gutiar players dream. Literally thats about it. If you play any other instrument youre screwed. The prices are pretty outlandish here. I play drums so I just go in for sticks. Their drums department is small and almost none-existent. The staff here is friendly and always willing to help, so thats a plus. Its not their fault that their prices are so high. I do most of my shopping online for my drum stuff, due to it being cheaper. I recently got a pair of in-ear headphones in here that work great. I needed them sooner rather than later. The same headphones were 20$ cheaper on amazon. I only go here if need be. 3 stars due to friendly staff, and going here when I need sticks. This is pretty much the only music store in my town. So Im stuck with going through them with sticks.
Service and personality. They were nearly out of banjos but otherwise its always a pleasant experience.
This place was really expensive, and the sales associates gave answers that were completely wrong.
Lots of instruments and accessories to choose from. Staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. They can also fix just about anything musical. I was looking for a guitar and they told me about options and let me play 15+ different ones. Highly recommended for anything musical but their guitar and amp selection is great.
I went into C.A. House looking for some cables for my stereo system (I have an active crossover system so standard RCA cables wont work). They didnt have what the cables I am currently using, but spent the time looking up all my equipment and asking questions to get me something that would work. Cant thank you guys enough for all the time you spent on what ultimately ended up being a small purchase!
This store is my personal heaven, being a musician myself. Every time I go in there, I;m greeted by name, because I go in quite a bit, and I have a friend that works there. The service is impeccable. If one goes in and needs anything; an instrument repair, band instruments, guitars, method books, etc, they will tell you exactly where in the store these things are located, they will get them for you, or theyll even recommend another place to look if they dont have it. They truly care about their customers and they are all very passionate indeed about music and instruments.
I cannot begin to express my level of satisfaction with every aspect of this store. I have been visiting this place from the time I started middle school. Now as a junior in college, each encounter for what has been nearly a decade has been nothing short of stellar. The staff is every bit as helpful, knowledgeable, and professional as they are down to earth. They have always been willing to help and go the extra step to ensure that they provide a welcoming, comfortable environment to shop, relax, and be immersed in music. Especially for the guitar department, the staff is unprecedented and have been much more than helpful to me. I now live over two hours from this store location and I still make the trip back to this spot when I want to shop music. CA house, keep up the amazing work and keep doing what you guys have been doing as it has been above and beyond the standard. I would look no further than these guys for your next instrument purchase and I promise that your experience will be far from disappointing.My only regret- I couldnt give higher than a 5 star review.
Helpful staff. All in one music shop.
Very nice staff and a great selection of amps and guitars!
Great store. Music is a fantastic hobby. A great way to refresh, renew even as a beginner. Lots of choices for beginners at affordable prices. Cant say enough about how happy I am to have music in my life.
Super helpful and friendly.
Always very friendly, helpful and courteous even if youre only in the store to browse without purchasing anything.
Great music store for all those who have instrumental needs. Most instruments predominantly used you can find what you need for it at the C.A. House Music.
Its a very cool place, amazing selection of every instrument and stage equipment. And they just about have everything that you would ever need. I would recommend going to the acoustic section very large and very nice selection of acoustic guitars. The employees are very nice and very helpful.
Theres no other music store quite like this one. The employees are all very polite, and will do anything to make sure you find what you need. There is a wide selection of all types of instruments and accessories, so youll almost always be able to find what you need. CA House is hands down my favorite place to be.
C.A. House has always been located conveniently for me, but they also have a solid and fairly wide selection of instruments and brands of all sorts of musical gear. I honestly only have had experience with the guitar staff and the drum staff, but my experiences with both have been nothing short of excellent. Ryan and Shaun are always extremely friendly and helpful. I also took guitar lessons from Charlie Read there for three years. I try to buy as much gear from C.A. House as I can because its so nice to have a great music store so close to me, rather than order something from online retailers where I cant try the product first. I have never had any issues with any products I have bought from C.A. House.
Only place i trust to be able to get just what i need
They are always so courteous and helpful. They also have a great rent-to- own school instrument program. Would have been nice to be able to pay more up front, but thats just a minor inconvenience.
Very kind and helpful staff with very competitive pricing! If you are looking for the regions best music store look no further. From beginner to the local pro you will find everything you will ever need!
Great store with excellent people that work there. Very knowledgeable about every department of music and instruments.
Very nice place, employees are laid back and helpful but not pushy. Very cool place
Knowledgeable staff, you can pick up and play any Instrument, they do not mind.
Best place around to get your musical needs. They have guitars, amps, drums, electronic pianos, grand concert pianos, several different brands of equipment and soundboards.
Just went in to look for Christmas presents. Large selection of guitars and sound equipment. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable.
Great place for all your musical needs
Friendly and helpful staff
C.A House Music is a great place to go to for anything music. They not only have many instruments to buy or rent, but they also have music books, stands and all things essential for playing an instrument. I highly recommend going to C.A. House Music! They are always willing to help and have great service and exellent quality!
Great selection, comparable prices to online shopping (which is rare, even Walmarts in store pricing is always higher than their own website...) but their huge benefit is their people... Great customer service!
They cover a wide variety of instruments and items that you need such as guitar strings pics drums drumsticks and do a very good job of repairs on guitars
There arent many stores that can be the whole package but if there is one it is this one. Every one will give you a warm welcome, and a always comforting hey whats going on brother from Brian. then on top of the welcome the workers are the best in the area. they can get you exactly what you need or want. they have it all pianos, guitars, band instruments, and sound equipment. Really there is no reason if you need musical gear to go any weir but here.
Got offered help immediately.. the employees were very knowledgeable about the products.. friendly.. great store.
They have great teachers for lessons to learn instruments I go every week to learn drums
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with guitar repair questions and suggestions. Prices are very good here, often better than online stores. I will be shopping here before purchasing my next guitar online.
Got a gift card yesterday. The store is very clean and well displayed. If you havent been here you should visit.
Best guitar and musical instrument shop in parkersburg,West virginia.
Great service, good selection. They can order anything they dont have. Also offers lessons in drums, guitar, saxophone, bass, and piano. Band instruments are also available as well as violins, including childrens sizes on violins.
Very knowledgeable, friendly, and polite.
Loved the knowledge of some of the people that helps up decide on an instrument for our daughter.
Decent selection of acoustic and electric guitars. No pressure and friendly sales staff. Overall great experience.
Nice people working here very helpful.
Upgrading from 4 to 5 stars! I have had an Ibanez RG370DX since I was 15, a 20 year old guitar now. It developed a twist and a bend in the neck, the trem and, well everything was off and the PUps were needing attention. I had taken it to The Pied Piper in Charleston, another different store in Elkins and to Showtime Music in the Meadowbrook Mall in Clarksburg. Everyone said they couldnt repair it. It was no good anymore, that I had to buy a new neck and headstock. C. A. House Music looked at it and accepted the challenge. Heck, they only charged a standard setup fee. THEY FIXED EVERYTHING! AND it shreds metal again just like it did over a decade ago. They even got the intonation and action super tight for soloing metal! Polished it, sanded the edges and leveled the frets, balanced the trem, cleaned the fretboard and just overall made my jaw hit the ground! For, I think the cost was $45? (Chime in here C.A.) I was so happy to have one of my original guitars working again that, while I research things like amps and accessories online, I go there to buy if they have it. Im getting ready to buy a new amp here in the next 2 weeks. EXPECT ME GUYS! Last thing, when I was needing to try out some studio monitor headsets, they had what I was wanting to check out (but only in white, sorry guys I got this one online, packaged deal and a discount with the Antlion ModMic 5) and they opened up the box and let me listen and compare them for as long as I needed. I can only speak to about the guitar side, but everyone is nice, courteous and knowledgeable about everything and even know the current inventory/stock they have there. If you are serious about making an instrument purchase... go no further!
Best place for musical instruments in the area
Awesome place. Very helpful and nice staff
The Parkersburg location is a friendly, knowledgeable location and the entire staff is always willing to help. They make sure to find the instrument that is right for you so you dont get buyers remorse. Being a guitar player, I find this to be the best guitar department in the area.
Very helpful with what you might need.
If you want to learn guitar..Come.visit with Charlie. Great sense of humor. Fantastic guitar player himself.
Very helpful, friendly employees.
Ive had two different repairs done here to my guitar over the past couple of months; and both times, the repairs were done quickly, efficiently, and at a very reasonable price. Ryan and the others are very friendly, accommodating, knowledgable, and professional. Theyve got a large selection of great merchandise and are open late in the day. Whether youre looking to purchase an instrument or supplies, or to get something repaired, C.A. House is your one-stop music shop in the Parkersburg area.
This place is still in business, still looks great. Surprisingly they can compete with the internet and school cuts on arts and music...
Busy place on Christmas Eve. Pretty fast service. Good sales.
I walked into C.A. House with no knowledge of the type of reed I was needing for honor band this weekend, but with the help of some very friendly employees I made what I feel is the best choice. I will definitely be using C.A. House for all my music needs from now on.
Attended the Taylor show very nice experience (love CA house they are the best & will help you with any thing you might need for music .thanks to all the employees for makeing it a super nice store
Ive went here to buy gifts for my tech savvy other half whom enjoys doing some dj work an what not from time to time the staff is very helpful in finding the equipment he needs, an at decent pricing I wouldnt have known one piece of equipment from another if they werent there my gift probably would not have been such a successful purchase.
Good service and fair prices on good music equipment. Nice people who are helpful in making the right decisions on what musicians need to sound their best.
Great store knowledgeable staff new and used equipment at fair prices
3 tries to get a guitar setup. Did a good job. Fixed what was wrong but the PR person can suck it. There is no reason I shouldnt bring a guitar back that wasnt done correctly. Dont worry I wont bring anything else to work on like you asked. Ryan is a good guy, Shawn did good work. PR is out of touch. The first setup was not done correctly. The guitar was not intonated correctly and the nut was not done properly. The nut slots were cut way too deep and there were strings hitting and buzzing frets. I then brought it back after having time to really check it out (new baby 3 days old. Just wanted to get home). The second time, instead of replacing the nut like was discussed, it was then shimmed up and the slots cut even deeper. Making the nut setup still not correct and still with issues with intonation and playability. This was a 3 day old guitar. I wanted it to look right and be done right. I was made to feel bad because the repair tech has never had a problem before. I of course brought it back to have the nut fixed and showed the paperwork from the book of how its supposed to be. The nut slots were finally done correctly and the intonation was correct. The nut does however have a gap under it on one side that is not proper. Will it effect how it plays, probably not, is it the way it really should be, no. I paid $70 for a setup and a nut. I guess you get what you pay for.
Great music shop. Always had good customer service and support. I would recommend them to my friends
Easy to work with employees, fully stocked on anything youd want.
A rarity in music stores,No crappy attitudes or smug staffI stopped twice while I was in town,I have to say it was a rare experience, great atmosphere great attitudes, very very knowledgeable and friendly
Very nice. Very helpful.
Very helpful buying for grandson, I know nothing. Demonstrated and took time with me!!!
Very nice staff to help find what you need. I also play one of their pianos.
Out standing staff, well laid out store, great prices.
Very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful staff!
I love C.A. House. I bought my first drum set there (Mapex Voyager), I also take drum lessons there. If you need an instrument, C.A. House is a fine place to go.
