I came into here on a whim. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and personable.I explained what I needed and they helped me budget out what what was available and explained what the upgrade path for my AMP and gave great feedback.There was no pressure on the sale and I’m going to recommend them to everyone when possible.

Great customer service. The guys here are were knowledgeable both times I stopped by and even though I dont know much about microphones they were very kind and patient. I appreciate their professionalism and treating me with respect. They also have a great selection of instruments and seemed willing to help me get in stock what ever I needed.

I was on the hunt for a left handed guitar with an HSS configuration and a Floyd Rose for quite a while. A friend of mine brought to my attention a guitar that Mammoth Music had in stock that met all of my requirements, but was located roughly 4,000 miles away in Anchorage, AK.I immediately called the store and was greeted by a gentleman named Tommy. Tommy was INCREDIBLY helpful in giving me all of the details about the guitar, and even offered to take down the listing while I acquired the funds, as he could tell I was very serious about purchasing the guitar.These guys really are a top notch store. Customer service is immaculate and theyre great guys to chat with about all things music, and in my case, guitar. I would GLADLY purchase more instruments from them, as they stocked my case with all sorts of Mammoth Music goodies (Straps, patches, stickers... the works!) I look forward to the day that I get to deal with them again - THEY ARE AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO!

Great place!! I used to go to Guitar Center, but I totally changed my mind once I started taking my gear to Mammoth for maintenance. Plus, they have amazing gear and doesnt feel like walking into a McDonalds like it feels when I walk into GC.Support your local economy!

Very pleased and impressed with all employees, as they all helped me when I went in to look for a specific music instrument. They were all very knowledgeable with the instrument I was looking for (midi keyboard) and helped me with it, with demonstrating how it’s used, explained details etc. Def. will be returning. Great store, great people all willing to help~

The folks here are very nice and a great example of customer service. They greeted us right away when we walked in and answered all of our questions. They made a point to thank us on our way out even though we ended up not purchasing an item. It is rare to find service that is so genuinely friendly!

Surprisingly great selection of ukuleles. Went in without knowing anything about the store and found a massive trove of my favorite instrument. Sales people were very friendly and helpful...not pushy at all. Had a great experience and will be back when Im back in town and ready to make a purchase.Prices seemed reasonable, too.

Mammoth is a great place to shop. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They are also a local business so thats another perk of going to Mammoth! Ill go there every time I need something because they are so personable versus going to other places that are chain stores.

Mammoth music has been an institution in Anchorage since before I was even born, so when I grew up and became a musician myself, they were the first place I looked. Thanks to their employees commitment and passion for music, I was given expert aid in deciding what instrument to learn and what gear Id need for it. Ive been a loyal customer for 15 years now, and will b as long as I have a love for music. As always they have great prices, better service, and if they dont have what ur lookin for, theyll order it for u w no shipping charge. 5 out of 5 stars

New into audio hardware and had alot of questions. I came in, described what I am trying to do, and how I did past interviews.The staff member addresses all my questions, we tested out the equipment, and the end product is fabulous!If new to audio equipment, have questions, come to Mammoth Music. Had I not came here, my Amazon cart would have cost more, and I would have to buy additional items I didnt knew. Thank you again Mammoth Music!

We went in today 8/16/17 .....visiting family. Were from Cleveland Ohio , and we stopped in to see what they had. Nice selection of high end guitars, mid range guitars in electrics, and decent acoustics. Nice selection of amps and accessories. I myself would recommend this store to anyone!

Went in today for a new set of strings and some expertise...the gents behind the counter were too busy talking with each other to take the time to help a customer figure out what to do with an old guitar. The guy that did finally end up helping me wasn’t much of a help and impatient. I’m going to Mikes Music or MatValley Music from now on.

They get 5 stars from me because of the very very helpful and knowledgeable employees. For me particularly, I was assisted by Cody to get my Rubix24 audio mixer and Shure mic. Setup. He went above and beyond the call of duty. They are competitively priced compared to online shopping places for similar or comparable products. And.... Even if they are a bit more expensive here or there (it’s not by much), it’s worth it because of the customer service that goes with it and the special attention they give to each and every one of their customers. Kudos again to Cody. Thanks Man!

Have lots of great pieces of equipment at fair prices considering shipping to Alaska cost so much. My biggest issue was the staff was her unknowledgeable about most pieces of equipment. They expect me to know what I was buying. And I didnt like that at all.

I had a problem and needed help with my studio monitors and stopped by. Cody went out of his way to not only trouble shoot my problem but take down my information to do some additional research. I have never had such great customer service from a sales team and will definitely tell all my friends and family to come here for all their music related needs. Earned lifetime customer.

I went in looking for a guitar and asked a guy if I could check out the guitars in the humidity controlled room. His response was You dont want to go in there, there isnt a guitar for less than a grand in there.I bought a $1000 acoustic that came with a free adjustment, cleaning and strings. I took the guitar in a year later and had to pay for strings. They said itd be done early next week on Friday. I went in 2 weeks later and they hadnt touched it. They said it could be up to a month to honor the free cleaning they promised. I just left with my strings and cleaned it myself.

I’ve been an amateur player and professional teacher in Anchorage for many years, and Mammoth’s customer service seems to just keep getting better and better.Two years ago, I was shopping for a Martin D-18, and Cody was happy to unpack three brand new ones from their unopened boxes to help me pick the best one. I’m still enjoying it today. Last year, I came in looking for a particular keyboard for my studio and Lance told me of a different model that the staff believed to be both cheaper and better. It was, and is. Last week, I found myself wanting a new Martin D-15M. Cody was happy to look upstairs and find that there were two for me two choose from, and volunteered to hold my favorite over the weekend until I could return with my credit card.This is all fabulous, but it gets better. When I came back to pick it up, Lance told me that there was an upcoming price reduction on that model that hadn’t been reflected on the sticker, and so I could get it for 10% less than I’d have been happy to pay. THEY CHARGED ME LESS THAN AMAZON.And it gets better yet. I thought the action was going to be a little too low once the guitar came home to the lower humidity of my house. Rather than tell me to wait and see, Cody brought out a hex wrench and spent 15 minutes tweaking the neck to what we agreed was perfection.Oh yeah, and they threw in a set of fresh strings for free.Anchorage needs to know about this. We’re about to undergo one more predatory attack from one more national chain that will claim to offer better service and selection. I’ve shopped Guitar Centers in other cities, and I won’t bash them. But nobody’s going to treat you better than a business that’s locally owned and operated. All of my musical dollars are going to remain here in Anchorage.

I like the guy with the one eye! Hes really great to the customers (I think hes a manager) and will cut you a deal on old stock he has lying around. His one eye makes him a legend at that store, people will be talking about buying their instrument from a man with one eye in Anchorage AK for a long time.... They already come in talking about a nostalgic feeling because the store has been there for so many years. No offense if youre reading this. Sorry for your eye. Long story short this is a great team effort business. It is ran by very intelligent and reliable team of folks, who know what you need to make miraculous music. Best stocked music store in Alaska. Martin guitars wont even ship their guitars to them in the winter months because of humidity issues here in Alaska. Very good quality instruments at this store. Only con is it is a Mom and Pop shop so unlike the internet where you can have your money back (with time) if you dont like something... Here you need to shop smart because you can only return it for in-store credit. The upside of course is same day musical excitement. Tit for tat in my eyes. I shop both here and online for my needs. Some of the more exotic guitar pedals (hand and custom made) are only available on the internet. Anyways, Im really glad to see we have a great music store and at first I wished it was a big business like guitar center but now that Im used to it Im glad they are mom and pop as this gives me more options... besides I can always buy from guitar center online if needed.

So, last night a few of my friends and I decided to learn how to play guitar. We each came to “rehearsal” with a guitar, a pick and ambition. Well, in our adrenaline filled haze we over tuned a low E cord on one of the guitars. That baby popped like a teenaged pimple! At 4 minutes before closing, I called Mammoth Music. I told the gentleman on the phone the situation and he told me that they would Supply my with the cord I needed. They even were kind enough to leave it where I could find it and at no charge! What!? This was beyond what they were expected to do and I am so glad that I have this story to tell everyone when I tell them about when I learned to play. Thank you Mammoth.

Ive bought intelligent lighting and DJ equipment from mammoth numerous times, friendly/helpful staff and excellent selection. They are also the only place you can get fog juice when it isnt Halloween. When the sticker price is too high ask if theyll match a competitors price, sometimes they can work out a deal, Id rather keep my money in state and support local businesses than order from an unknown.

Nothing but problems. Been going to this place strings and such for 16 years now, but I would say Im officially done. Would prefer to buy local but...Staff is unpleasant unless they think you will be spending lots of money. Not knowledgeable. Not courteous. The only thing this place has going for it is a lack of competition.
