I have purchased many acoustic guitars in the past 40yrs, from music stores across Canada and the US. The recent purchase from L&M in Kingston ON rates as one of the best experiences among them. The staff were very helpful, no pressure and allowed me to play the guitar I was interested in for as long as I needed. Thank you staff for a pleasant and satisfying experience!
Ive been shopping at Long & McQuade for years in Kingston and they never fail to deliver quality products and advice. Recently, the customer service surrounding some warranty work on a guitar was amazing. (Thanks Paul!) Its also nice to see staff when Im in the store, that seem to really enjoy their jobs - great morale, and patrons leaving with big smiles on their faces.
Bought a bass 🎸 for my grandson.This is a dangerous store for me to go in - I always come out with something... but that isnt a bad thing 🎹🎻🎸
Rentals are priced well and very convenient. Staff is also friendly and helpful with any questions!
Thank you to each and every staff of Long ans McQuade in kingston who helped me get my grandfathers family heirloom guitar ready to play again. Their attention to detail and ability to problem solve went above and beyond. Cheers.
They dont care about piano players. Basically nothing on the floor. When I asked about buying a bench, they literally turned the monitor to me, pointed at model numbers, and asked which one I wanted. Nothing available to test. Teacher quit after a few months and they gave me all the worst time slots. No effort to maintain the existing time slots that I signed up with. I feel scammed and wont be going back.
Purchased a guitar 🎸from Long & McQuade at Christmas for my son. Purchased a warranty on the model as well and glad I did. Last week damaged the neck of guitar when he was putting it away and was devastated. Called the store and explained the scenario to them and had an identical replacement in just a few days. Everyone I spoke to was extremely courteous and professional and we are grateful for their outstanding service and commitment to excellence. Thank you!
Long & McQuaid is a musical store that can make every musicians dream come true...their knowledge and welcoming feeling makes every one of my visits a new & exciting experience. Thanks for everything
Really helpful staff whenever I go in there. Each person Ive talked to understands quickly the problem Im trying to solve and is able to puzzle with me to find the right solution.

Awesome service even with covid.... Great staff
Bought my first guitar and amp here today. Great service. Very patient with me asking questions and let me try everything. It was a real life changing experience seeing first hand how music can change my life for the better.
Great place for gear and rentals
Great experience. Knowledgeable, friendly staff.... Great selection.
I recently purchased a player series telecaster from L&M Kingston back in March. I brought it into the store last week to have a set up done, and although they usually require 3-4 days turnaround time, to my surprise, it was ready to go the next day. When I picked it up to play it felt like a brand new guitar again. So I just wanted to give a huge shout out and thank you to whoever did the work on it. It’s great!!
The staff at l&m Kingston are always a pleasure to deal with and the selection and prices on instruments and accessories are great!
I love going here to learn music.
I’ve been a customer since the late eighties.Outstanding service, and products.6 stars, actually..
Many times I have seen the customer experience change once bought out by large chains. These guys are still just as solid and genuinely helpful as they ever were. Nice to see that they have kept quality customer service at the same level as when they were independents. Great job guys.
Been dealing with these folks prior to, Long and McQuade this Store over, in Kingston. Their friendly, expertise and knowledge of musical Instruments are second to none. But what truly stands out from every other Music Store I have visited from Toronto to Ottawa, is their concern for each Customer that walks thru their front doors. They have consistently displayed on each of my visits, a genuine interest of how my previous purchase is working out for me. Without failing, their Staff will always have a warm smile.Long and McQuade as new owners, have continued to entrust their Staff here in Kingston, with a seamless transition from old to new ownership.If you know exactly what you are looking for in their Store, or wondering, where or what instudent would best suit your budget or need, you can be confident, you came to the right place.From purchases of cash, or a need for financing, you dont have to leave empty handed. That instrument can be yours today!So stop by and look around. You wont be disappointed!Perhaps you will find me there too. Looking at a guitar, buying strings, or talking to one of their resourceful, friendly Staff. Long an McQuade, a one stop place, to shop for all your Musical needs!
I love this store. Outstanding selection of guitars, amps and pedals. The staff is super friendly even if youre just looking around. Ive used their school and rental services as well and have no complaints.
Excellent highly knowledgeable staff and service . Family run music store . Full range of instruments and sheet music . Canada s Go To music store !
Management and staff here are impeccable - Nathan is one of my favorite people to see when I walk through the door cause he is the most upbeat and fantastic guy to chat with. Been buying here since they were independent and they have gone as far as getting a regular stock of Vater 3A Fatback sticks just for my convenience, saving me from the hassle of ordering online.Cant say enough great things about the Kingston L&M Team!
Only been in a couple times but great service, very clean with decent in store selection.
Awesome customer service, very knowledgable staff. Made the whole guitar buying experience easy and fun. Highly recommend to anyone just starting out or seasoned musicians.
Very nice. Very clean, lots of room. Also offers lessons and rentals. Opened June 3rd, 2019
Best shop in town, the staff are so helpful and friendly.
Smaller L&M location (acquired Renesaonce Music August 2016). Nice selection of Taylor, Martin, Gibson guitars (again smaller due to limited space). Small drum, wind and brass selection. Friendly staff - eager to help.
Great service. Excellent guitar tech
Very friendly and informative lady at the lesson counter.
Great place, I really enjoy going there and talking to the staff and playing there guitars. Great honest people I had an issue with a repair and within the hour I was told to bring my guitar back and it was resolved 10/10 best music store in kingston.
All the goodies and great prices too
By far the the best customer service Ive seen in any Music store. But this went all the way back when the core team was at Renaissance, the additions to the team do not disappoint, ever. Only complaint is that Nate needs to order more cowbells for the new store... Nate you should know this...🤨 always more cowbell..😁..Btw... cant wait to see the future clinics, you have way more room for activities now!!!#jacksoncharvel#mesaboogie#pointyguitarroom
The staff at this location is very helpful. They have some excellent instruments. The one con I would say is that the store is a bit cluttered.
I really love this place, it’s a lot of fun to go to and you can try out a majority of the instruments :) I got my saxophone there and I have no regrets!
Geryl is the most helpful person!!! Always happy about making other happy. Really made the experience much better for me.
Paul and the rest of the staff are great. Pretty simple business model. Have good products, know the products, be helpful and nice.
They are simply the best
Staff are usually friendly and helpful, but the repair shop likes to take their time .. gonna have to start booking appointments so they dont have my guitar sitting for a week before they get to it
Long and McQuade has knowledgable staff.The music teachers are professional and knowledgable. The inventory prices seem high, but the quality is certainly there. I love the Rollands professional keyboard that I purchased.
Great service and product. Many thanks boys.
Experienced and Knowledgeable Staff
Better than Guitar Center.
Over the top customer service. I keep coming back.
Fantastic place, staff are great.
Not the best selection of stuff. Staff is friendly
Great help
