Fantastic Long & McQuade location. We were in the market for an acoustic guitar and Pat helped us with our purchase. The staff here are knowledgeable, friendly and generous with their time. This store is large and well stocked. I thoroughly recommend a visit!
Ive been a customer for years and years and i must say i deal with Chad from the cambridge store and he goes above and beyond always. Being a bass player himself he gets it. Highly recommend Chad for all bass players. All staff is great as well.
Very helpful staff especially Chad who is also an excellent Piano player. Was not planning to buy that day but end up buying.
Not so knowledgable with Acoustic guitars. Body crack w/ no damage to frame was daunting enough for them to figure. Not to mention they said its virtually irrepairable and instead suggested on purchasing a new guitar as an alternative (wth). Figured out today from the other guitar store that the repair is certainly doable. So props to Long & McQuade Cambridge! Never to visit again.
Pat was super helpful with an exchange and answered all of my questions.Was very kind in offering future help and provided encouragement moving forward.Will go back when Covid allows them to open in person.
Great and helpful but they didnt have a simpler option that I needed. It was definitely worth the visit.
Always made to feel like home. Good service and informative first piano lesson!
VERY helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. We drove all the way out from Caledon and will definitely be back based on the great selection and wonderful staff!
The whole staff was super helpful getting an Oboe shipped here for my daughter. Fred was exceptionally helpful when I went to pick it up and helped me get the best rate I could. Always been a pleasant experience
It was great finally getting to come back in. I like the new location more than the old!
The staff at this location are awesome. They went above and beyond what Ive experienced at other stores. I highly recommend the Cambridge location to anyone as your first stop for anything music.
Fantastic service as always thank you for serving our musical community
Love Long & McQuade!! Fred and his team rock at what they do!! Always someone to help!!
Ordered online and picked up at the store, delivery was only a few days and the staff at the store were friendly and helpful
Great place and great selection of music instruments!
I purchased some new equipment for a home studio today, and worked with Ben at the Cambridge location. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and made sure I walked away with the right equipment for my needs. Will be returning to this location based off of my great experience today.
Always a great experience at the Cambridge Long & McQuade. The last time I was looking for some gear and some advice about guitar effects the sales associate, Chad Morey, was extremely helpful finding what was best for me. He gave just the advice I needed for finding an inexpensive device to hook my rig up into my MacBook so I can play with headphones and build the pedal board that’s right for me while I save up for a nice little tube amp. Lots of quality options and even a nice selection of used effects pedals too. There was no hassle with an item I was returning and the atmosphere of the store is upbeat and welcoming. I bought my first guitar with these folks years ago and it was 5 stars then and still 5 stars now.
The staff is amazing. I always have a great experience while visiting Long & McQuade
I love this location! Will was so friendly and helpful. Will be back!
Wonderful, knowledgeable staff that take the time to actually help with any questions or services needed. Personable and polite. You wont feel rushed to make a purchase. Ive never left unsatisfied.
Good curbside service to keep us rockin and safeFriendly staff and good service, great location and lots of parking.Great selection of guitars 🎸 check it out when you get a chance.
These guys are awesome, reasonable, helpful, and competitive. Its always a jovial time in a music store and this is no exception to that!
Chad and the other person on counter was really good and polite. Didn’t even charge me for a guitar tuning which was not even bought from them. Made my day👍🏻
Great service on re-string of my 12 string guitar and advice on Shubb Capo for same guitar. Large store with great variety and many services.
Just purchased the epiphone wildcat Royale through Emily at the Cambridge store. Spectacular customer service. I live in Guelph and could only wish that level of service was the same at that location. Bbs for a tele.
They are friendly people and they make you feel comfortable when you enter the store
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Extremely happy with the service I’ve received here. Will return.
Apparently, they have a musical instrument repair shop that doesnt actually repair musical instruments. I called about a bad connection on the back of my m-audio keystation 88 and was told, quite matter of factly, that if they didnt sell it, they cant look at it and I should contact the manufacturer about the warranty... ( Ive had it too long for a warranty to even exist ). Only fixing what you sell... that ISNT repair... thats product maintenance. Dont advertise a repair shop unless you actually repair stuff.
Great store & amazing staff. Fred has always been there to offer his unbiased expertise and excellent customer service.
The selection is great abd the store is beautiful. Most of the staff is friendly. The guitar expert who helped me was a complete jerk; dismissive and condescending in the extreme. I understand that trying to explain differences between electric guitars to someone who doesnt know a lot might be frustrating, but thats part of the job. Get over it and dont pass your frustration onto the customer.He tried, despite my protests to redirect me to drums (because I said it would be my first choice but that its just not practical for me right now) and I had to put up a LOT of resistance just to get information about guitars.From there he said - without much context - that at this point I might as well close my eyes, take one of the wall and give it to you. Wow. Super helpful. At that point I told him I would go elsewhere and get some actual help. Finally the chill came off his approach and he decided to actually do his job.I wont be back to this location. Never felt worse about asking questions. Yikes.
Always a wonderful place. Really helpful staff. Lots of selection.
Chad was great helper. Will be back. Thank you
Ive learned so much about audio gear from visiting Long and McQuade locations, mostly this one. I usually have to expect to add an extra half hour to my visits because I could talk to these folks forever.I stay on top of my financing which has led to me being able to really step up my quality of equipment, and its nice that theyre always willing to work with me if Im stuck or get behind.I appreciate the knowledge, patience, and time they take to thoroughly assist their customers.
Real good professionals. A big shop with all you would need for music.
I was intrested in trying out some Uke Basses. Lucas was a great help from speaking with me on the phone before I came in telling me about the diffrent modles they had and also was a great help at the store.The strings on the U-Bass I wanted to buy appeared to be very old and Lucas said he would make it right by sending us new strings since they did not have any in-store.Great customer service at this location. They take care of ya. Was worth the drive from Simcoe.
Awesome staff! Amazing equipment! Chad was super friendly and helpful.You wont regret walking in, I promise.5 stars is an understatement for this place.
Hoping to trade for something newer, I recently brought in a 40 year old solid state amplifier that I bought new in ‘79. I loved the amp but it had become much too heavy to drag around to gigs and I’d been able to mike my smaller amps in the last few years. They offered a fair price for the old amp towards a new one and, as always, was very impressed with the professional, knowledgeable staff. A great experience every time I visit this L&M!
Very helpful staff
Dave (or David) was friendly and helpful, and even offered a better valued product to suit my needs. Curbside pickup was made really easy.
I must say this place is amazing! I have been taking lessons from here for 3 years and bought many of my stuff from here as well! The staff are very professional! I came in once to buy a piano and the staff who helped had great insight. It was quick and simple! They excellent quality products and if you wish to try something they dont have out on display they will gladly bring it out.
I brought a kalimba in to get it tuned. An employee, Dave, had not even played a kalimba before, yet was able to tune it successfully within 10 minutes. I was very impressed with his attitude and excellent service! Thank you!
These guys are absolutely incredible!They are so informative and really make it fun learning about all the exciting products in store.After speaking with their Tech Guru Bill I have decided I will never shop anywhere else for my pro audio needs.Thank you again for the amazing customer service!Cheers
Overall selection in this store isnt bad. There can sometimes be an issue with attitude from some of the staff. Thats not meant to paint everyone with a broad stroke. Sometimes, they can be very willing and helpful. I have no issue recommending a visit.
Very good service, the staff is great and very helpful
As a multi-instrumentalist with gear acquisition syndrome, Ive been to many Long & McQuade stores in Ontario. This store is probably my favourite because of the people who work there/manage it. Don, Emily, and Tony have been particularly helpful to me over the years with different things Ive come in for (special order guitars, accessories, repairs, advice on miking drums, etc.) Customer service is always excellent whether I have questions via email or in-person. Financing arrangements, rentals, and trade-ins have always been good experiences for me. Definitely check out this store if youre in the area!
Is there a bad L&M?
Always a great atmosphere and a great place to look at your favourite instruments and build dreams!! Really nice staff!! Great place all round!! PS... The new store is beautiful!!
Good
Always a great help and a great selection.
Really impressed with customer service and attention I received. Just want to say how happy I was after receiving my guitar back from repairs . And a sincere thank you to the very talented chad Morey !!! I hope they know how good this guy really is !!!
Terrible Experiance treated like an annoyance. Go somewhere else.
Everyone who worked there was nice
Good service and advice
Thank you for the excellent customer service experience and assisstance in purchasing the fender guitar and amp, etc. 🎸 Looking forward to doing more business in the future.Highly recommend this location.
Guys are friendly..easy to approach..😷
Great selection and quality gear. Helpful staff. Repeat customer satisfied every time.
Awesome bunch of knowledgable people!
I have been going to Long and McQuade for the past nine years. It is a pleasure always to shop there and the staff are great. They are not only friendly, but also very helpful when you ask for instructions on how a particular thing works. When I purchased a CP300 stage piano keyboard years ago one of the staff even delivered it for me as I dont have a vehicle. I am a senior now and getting forgetful at times. About a year ago I absentmindedly left cash on the countertop in a bank envelope and didnt realize it. I got a call from the store as the young man who served me noticed it just after I left and he had let the rest of staff know who it belonged to and put it in the bottom of the cash register with a note to return to me. Integrity, honesty, and very ethical are other terms I would apply to this store and its staff members. I had not even been aware that I left the cash on the counter. I believe it was more than a hundred dollars in the envelope.I would recommend this store to anyone who believes in integrity, honesty, ethical and good service all around. Their customer service is an excellent role model for any type of store or business as well as in character. God bless their business and all the staff and may they all prosper in all good ways.
Great service
Excellent all around!!!!
Good place. This location in particular has very friendly staff. Always willing to help and answer questions.
Front staff was awesome, repair person sarcastic and made me feel a little stupid, this is my first string instrument and I was just asking questions, he may have been trying to be humorous but it made me feel uncomfortable and stupid. Also had my brother and dad who are more experienced than I look at it and they were able to fix the problem for me. So I was lied to about the condition of my instrument I can only assume to make more money off of my situation.
Fantastic staff, fantastic inventory.
Very nice staff, especially the man named Tony. Very nice guy. Helped me pick out some good prices cymbals for my drum set.
Amazing staff, always willing to help you out and answer any questions and concerns.
I took a just privately bought used Telecaster in for a minor part. The courtesy and professionalism that I experienced will cause me to return for more extensive purchases in the future. Thank you.
Really nice store. I appreciate that they carry lots of Ibanez equipment
Have been to a ton of long and mcquades while living in the gta. Now that I’m in Waterloo I only go to the Cambridge location over the Waterloo and Guelph stores. They have the best staff and selection and take care of the instruments in the store. They also have a huge acoustic selection. They never make you feel bothered or pressured but they still let you know they are there to help. A lot of stores I find either hound you the second you walk in or completely ignore you. Bought my last 2 guitars and my newest amp from there and will continue to do all my shopping there for now on.
Always a pleasure. Fantastic, knowledgeable staff, great selection and I love the hollow body and arch-top room!
The best musical instruments store in the world
Good staff and a variety of instruments. Ive missed a room to listen to the instruments without being disturbed.
I recently dealt with Tony Bouma in the Drum Dept. on a custom cymbal order from Sabian.Front to back, Tony provided the most friendly, accommodating, and exemplary customer service I have received in recent memory.Dealing with a knowledgeable, industry professional that will go that extra mile for you as a customer, made it worth my trip from Oakville out to Cambridge!
Love this store. Clean, organized, well trained and talented staff.
Great selection of musical instruments and accessories. Staff knows what theyre talking about and are quite helpful.
Helpful and knowledgeable people, came in to rent a keyboard for the first time and was in and out in 20 minutes
Awesome store and amazing staff! A big shout out to Emily, Will, Steve, Don, Fred and the music man himself Glen Murch! You guys rock!!
I have rented equipment here for uears. The staff is super friendly. Equipment is always in good condition.
Always helpful
Bought my grestch hollowbody guitar here. Great service! No pressure to buy anything extra either.
Knowledgeable staff, Chad, took the time with us to help find what we needed. Looking forward to going back.
The staff were extremely helpful and honest.
Great friendly staff
I just receive my new guitar and im just a beginner. Do u tune the guitar for me?
A great selection of quality guitars!
Just went in there looking for an acoustic guitar. Worst service I have ever received.
Very friendly and decent selection
In the store 10 minutes before any staff said hello. Store was not busy. Book select was poor.
Very good this time
Best people to deal with
Great service!
