Matt Umanov Guitars

Great staff, great selection, and a great shop!

Went there with my two kids and wife to buy guitar pedals. I know nothing about guitar, I asked for the basic and cheap pedals for beginner. Staff was very very friendly, he showed me different basic pedals and played guitar in front of us explaining each one. Prices are similar than in Amazon. He also reminded us to buy extra cables and batteries needed. We got free stickers and picks. Great service, nice shop, friendly staff, what else ?

I recently visited New York and checked out some music stores while there.

Went into Matt's store having had some earlier email conversations with him and was greeted like a long lost friend.

This is a real music store, not a guitar supermarket. I was extremely well looked after by Danny, the store manager who was not only knowledgeable but totally committed to a great purchasing experience. I was looking for a particular product which seems to be all but impossible to find down here. Nothing was too much trouble.

If you are looking for a new guitar or bass, go no further. I hear their other services are very good too and I have no doubt that's true based on my experience.

Whether you are a local or visitor like me, I doubt you would find a better place to buy your next instrument. Thanks guys!!

Really great shop on Bleecker, came as a tourist left as a customer because of the guys in there. Bought a Gretsch New Yorker, but that was only after playing for 20 minutes and chatting for another 20 because it's one of the least pressuring music shops I've ever been in, which means a lot to me.

Ardell ( I think that was the guys name) couldn't have been nicer, more knowledgable or more helpful - great guy. Whilst he helped me the other guy in the shop showed my wife "here comes the sun" on Uke and the basics of Uke playing, full well knowing that she was just a by stander and that that she was there waiting for me to try the guitar, but that's their greatest strength - they're in there for the music and enthusiastic engagement first they just happen to sell guitars as well (although I'll say the Uke sounded so good we almost walked out with one of those as well)

Great people, Great experience!

Was ignored on 2 visits to a chain store! This is a great place. I am a beginner and was made to feel very comfortable. Special thanks to Carl for his expertise and patience.
