Not a bad little store. The salesman was a little overbearing. When you come into a store to buy an instrument you want to play it not hear the salesman play it. I found what I was looking for at a decent price.

I am a BEGINNER, but nobody talked down to me while I was trying to make decisions for my son and my first guitars. We came in during the week and the staff was soooo helpful! I went back a week later and again we were helped by a very patient and knowledgeable employee! I never felt judged or taken advantage of! Highly recommend!

Great music store! They have a bit of everything for everyone here! They have all the stuff you would expect like new brand name guitars, drums, keyboards, as well as amplification and stage audio equipment. Its all nice stuff, but besides that they have a lot of hard to find niché stuff, like tuners, machine heads, bridges, strings, harmonicas, on and on..... Great place to find hard to come by musical items! The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they really seem to know their stuff too!! I highly recommend checking IRC Music out for yourself!

They may not be the biggest in the Indy area ( just west in Avon on Rockville Rd.) but I think that may be why their customer service is second to none! Their selection is Awesome and their prices are more than fair

I took my guitar for a basic setup right after I purchased it. The guitar was in perfect condition. When I picked up the guitar, I immediately noticed a few light scratches on the front of the guitar that hadn’t been there before, as well as a scuff on the side of the guitar (about the size of a quarter) and a large, deep scratch on the back of the guitar.Unfortunately I will not be returning to this store for any more maintenance. Even though it was set up properly and sounds good, the instrument suffered damage that is not repairable without refinishing it, which is crazy being that it’s only 2 weeks old. I wish they had taken a little more care during setup to prevent damage.

I feel like I was overcharged for the services I received, also waited a long time for a tiny piece they had to order special. The employees didnt seem to have very useful knowledge about instruments or a couple other things I asked about...However the services I asked for were able to be completed so thats good.

Ive been to IRC a handful of times over the last few years, and cant recall the service ever being anything less than welcoming and professional. I especially appreciate Chris taking extra time during my most recent visit, to help me figure out a great solution to a conundrum Id gotten myself into as a bass player, due to my unusual, unorthodoxed playing technique. Thanks Chris! 🙏

Review №37

I think IRC west is a dandy music store. Dandy indeed. I think Chris is a very nice fellow (much like myself. I too am a nice fellow) I think the staff are very knowledgeable and a nice fellows as well. I recently bought a Yamaha mixer from them and my happiness and satisfaction factors are very high. Very high to be sure.I have also bought an Epiphone Sheraton, A Paul Reed Smith and a Taylor guitar from them. They have always been very kind and helpful and willing to make the instruments play and sound their best. Now if i only knew how to play any of these lovely guitars, my experience would be complete.

Review №44

Absolutely great. The selection is similar to most similar guitar-type stores Ive been in, but the staff was great. Professional, helpful, and attentive, but also let me poke around in peace. I was in just looking for a mic stand, but was treated like I was buying a $1,000 guitar. Several people working even on Saturday afternoon, and on top of it all they offer lessons in piano, guitar, and drums for sure. Possibly also singing and other instruments, but I didnt hear those specifically mentioned either way.

I guess since theres so much online shopping these days, music stores dont carry large inventories anymore. What a shame. Makes it hard for musicians to hang out and trade horror stories about gigs. A pity.

Stopped in to fix a string on my guitar. I’ve never fixed a guitar string, but I planned on learning on my own and getting it done. Moses helped me out, and went the extra mile to teach me first hand how to change the strings. It’s employees like him that make me love IRC Music. I will continue to come back and send people in. Thanks again Moses!

Very helpful. I first went in to have some old Cerwin Vegas brought back to life and get a new, modern Amp. Barry, the speaker tech, did a great job with a new horn. About 2 weeks later the Amp head went bad and Barry took it that day to the warranty repair shop. Great selection of new and used products as well.

This shop still has that mom and pop feel that’s getting more and more rare. They have a lot of beginner gear along with some used sprinkled in. The staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you’re starting out and don’t know what you need - they can help you out.

IRC Music is fantastic! Ive purchased several guitars from them and have had them setup and intonate several of my electric guitar builds. I have been thoroughly satisfied. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Truly professional business. Ill refer anyone there. They have great variety and selection of brands and styles and are able to order, setup, repair what you need, they have keyboards. Drums, guitars. amps, sound and PA gear..need lessons, they have great instructors. Stop by soon!

Review №81

We went in looking for strap locks. The elderly man didnt even come out from behind the counter to greet us. We looked at straps, slim selection, then I showed him a picture of a Jimmy page gibson double neck 12/6 and he didnt even know what it was or where the second strap hook was. As a woman he tried to sell me the most expensive and when I looked at something less expensive but workable he totally blew me off and continued to talk about most expensive (typical salesperson). I just walked away and told my husband you talk to him. Too expensive, poor selection of inventory (very few high grade), and very unsociable. After looking at my receipt he over charged me and the amp cord doesnt work.

I saw a cymbal I wanted on Craigslist that was listed by IRC music in Avon, I called them and spoke with a very helpful salesman who patiently answered all my questions then checked me out. Two days later I had my cymbal exactly like it was described, well packed with receipt inside. These days that is all it takes to get 5 stars.
