Today, around 4pm, we bought a violin, and were impressed by a talented and supportive gentleman who helped my son to choose the right violin, and explained all options such as rent vs buying the instrument. It was the first even musical instrument we bought, I'm not a musician, and just a parent who tries to support kid. I was relieved to get some help in choosing the most suitable instrument. Thank you so much!

After going to several places to fix my 12 string guitar and no one could, at the starving musician fix them in 20 minutes. The stuff is great and really knowledgeable. I really recommend this place.

Been a customer for over 25 years. Today I dealt with an employee (Joe) who did two things that weren't in his job description: being arrogant and smirking at the customer. I entered the store happy, I left disappointed and sad (rather than mad). In short, the staff is nice and friendly before a sale, but apparently they'll come up with whatever excuse to avoid a return or exchange, something I hadn't had to deal with before... and here it came the arrogance I didn't deserve as a customer. So maybe come here to buy stuff that will work. Otherwise, Guitar Center is two blocks away, and Amazon employees don't usually smirk at their customers, and neither will give you nonsense excuses when the stuff they sold didn't work as it should.

My Yamaha S910 has problems with these control keys (Main variations, stop, start etc...), they are very hard to pressed. Can that be fixed?. Thank you

Hi Man! Starving doesn't have anyone on staff (far as I know) who fixes keyboards. You could try a bottle of deoxit from Starving, a contact cleaner that might do the trick.
