I was utterly disappointed with MUSIC BOX in MEADOWHALL today. Before we left home, we checked the website for closing time, which stated closing at 9pm.
I took my son to get new guitar strings, have them fitted, and buy an effects pedal and new strap. We drove the half hour it takes to get there, arrived at 5:50pm and were met by an elderly greying man, with an abrupt, "Do you know what you want? I'm closing at 6pm." I said, we checked on the website and noted that it said closing time was 9pm. He replied that, "Things had changed since COVID-19." Fair enough. That gave them SIX MONTHS to update their website, and not waste customer's time, and then treat them like they are annoying you! We have shopped quite a bit at MusicBox over the years, and have usually been treated with decency and respect. I think we will find somewhere else to spend our money in future.
1. If you're going to bother having a website, KEEP IT UP TO DATE!
2. Do not state in your 'About Us' section, " We are a family run store with family and customer values, a bit old school really. As a traditional music shop we have continued to trade and operate with the values and were set years ago but now no longer seem to exist." - Those 'values', most certainly DID NOT exist today!
You wasted our time and treated us with disdain.

We popped into this music shop to pick up a keyboard for beginners book for our 7 year old but then discovered they also printed any design onto clothing. We were in town for the Take That tour at the DSA Arena and my good lady was looking out for a T shirt with relevant motif. A quick trip around to Next to pick up a good quality T shirt and when we got back the vinyls were cut out and ready to be pressed. 5 minutes later, boom, one bespoke and classy looking Take That T shirt and one very happy lady. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great shop with a huge array of instruments, books, clothing and everything else music related. More...

Great selection of music and band memorabilia and a good place to get clothes printed up. They were very helpful, doing us hoodies at short notice despite being extremely busy the weekend before Christmas. Thoroughly recommended

Review by Helen Harding - The Music Box responded to an email the same evening when I made an enquiry about a set of guitar strings. I ha been sol a set which looked very similar to the ones I had requested and the mistake was a genuine error. Since the ones I wanted were not available they made a full refund for the set I had purchased and also gave me a single string to 'get me by' till I can get the strings I really want, which may be difficult to source. I really appreciated their helpful, friendly attitude and professional advice. Thank you! More...
