I had a great experience at Granata. Brought in my childhood guitar - they fixed it up, polished and it sound and looks New. The best part though was the passion that Gino (sp?) had. Its awesome to see and learn from someone who is so passionate about guitars. Highly recommend the place.

Even though they where closed on Sunday they opened up just for us. The customer service was outstanding! 100% worth the visit, my son is a beginner and the owner set him up with his very first guitar and everything else that he needed. I can confidently say this was the best experience ever and we will be back for sure!

Went shopping for an acoustic guitar here and also able to take lessons. Added an electric one for Christmas. My son's been doing lessons for almost 4 months and enjoys it and making lots of use of the guitars.

Gino is a great guy first of all. Great customer service and knowledgeable. I’m happy to spend my money at this great small business
27 June 2023 14:52
They did an amazing job selling an instrument I no longer wanted! Very personable and consignment is super reasonable, way better than other music stores I’ve been to!

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere in here. My school is nearby so naturally I came around and was surprised to find such a nice place around. Thanks to Gino (owner) for acquainting me with my (first) guitar! One of my most pleasant experiences in a long time

Easy to navigate the website to find what you need and shipped and delivered the day after! So great

The book I received was 50 years old (published in 1969), and looked like it new, with not a crease in it. Received promptly after purchase V

Great service. I accidentaly ordered the wrong keyboard which I realized after recieving the shipped product but Gino helped me out and reimbursed my money according to their return policy with no issue within 3 days.

Great sounding and looking guitar. Super fast delivery form Ottawa to Aurora where I live. There was only a loose nut on one of the capstans which made a bit noise when playing. I opened the strings and it was an easy fix for me, but I don' think average and inexperienced user can do it. So please pay more attention to details for even a better costumer service.

Picked up some guitar strings and the process was fast and easy
Great knowledgeable staff and great store

I sold an old guitar and subsequently bought a new guitar at this location. This is a great store with outstanding customer service. They will take the time to ensure you get exactly what you are looking for. For example while shopping for my new guitar, they set me up with an amp in a back room and let me try multiple guitars until I found one that gave me the tone I was looking for. Highly recommended!
24 January 2023 23:49
Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Have a good selection of items and music. My kids love their music teachers and want to come to their lessons. Bought 2 ukuleles and an electric guitar and amp. Quality instruments and have done good repairs on one of the ukuleles for me.

Great company, absolutely perfect service and recieved my purchase in good order and a timely fashion. Big thanks to Gino and Granada music.

A great place to take music lessons! I've been taking singing lessons for a few years and the instructors are amazing people and very accommodating to different schedules.
31 July 2022 22:14
Visited for the first time and felt very welcome. Large and unique selection of clearance sheet music. My new favorite music store in the city!
07 June 2022 1:14
I'm incredibly happy with the work that was done on my guitar. It was obvious from the amount of dust on the it that I hadn't been playing it much but now I can't put it down. Being able to sit down and strum a few chords while singing my favourite songs again feels like reconnecting with a lost love. Gino and the Granata team injected a little joy into my life with their work, and it was truly a pleasure to meet and chat with everyone there. I'll be back again soon for sure!
15 May 2022 1:19
You can't beat this service. The owner opened up the store for me on a Sunday to pick up an amp. This store has a long history in Ottawa and is loaded with good gear. A beautiful setup of all available Epiphone guitars. Tons of music sheets and accessories. Looking forward to go back.
15 April 2022 2:16
I recorded my entire album here I absolutely adore this place. The owner Gino is a great person who provides a great atmosphere inside his store. There’s multiple practice spaces along with a recording studio. The sound engineer is extremely friendly and encouraging as well. There’s a variety of beautiful instruments and equipment/accessories sold here. Highly recommend to anyone. Kid friendly
02 January 2022 10:06
Fantastic store and friendly service, took me 5 minutes to pick a new guitar, highly recommended!
18 November 2021 7:57
I love going to Granata! Gino (owner) is an amazing person, the staff are great and very knowledgable about their instruments. My wife and kids take their lessons there and it's been a very happy experience for me to watch their personal and musical growth as they continue to learn, practice and play. Music is medicine for the soul, and Granata Music is a great place to start your journey!
08 November 2021 6:35
I sent my guitar there for a repair. The owner of the store was really nice and helpful. He made accommodation for me and I found the service great! Could not recommend a better store for a its customer service.
07 November 2021 17:18
GRANATA MUSIC is easily your one-stop-shop for all things music. Gino and the rest of the staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful whenever I come into the shop. Whether you're a beginner musician looking to get started, or a seasoned professional looking for quality service, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. There is undoubtedly so much pride and passion that goes into running GRANATA MUSIC, and I highly recommend heading into the shop to find out for yourself!
10 October 2021 15:26
Nice worker, very humble however it is on the overpriced side of things. The shop does have a nice type of ambiance and personally would go back again.
02 August 2021 1:53
What incredible staff!
Knowledgeable
Not trying to make a sale. They will suggest the best for you.
Lessons of almost all instrument and voice.
Great people.
Support local businesses people! And add some music to your life!

My Fender 12-string acoustic needed adjustment. I brought it to Gino mid afternoon. He did the adjustment and tuned the guitar before close of business that day. Gino recommended a guitar humidifier. I bought one without hesitation. Excellent service, friendly and personable. I will do more business with Gino in the future. Thank you Gino.

I cannot think of a better place to go to for music needs than Granata Music. First and foremost, I am very picky on where to go for my musical instruments. Music is art and my guitars are the tools needed to create what I do. When I first stepped into Granata Music, I was greeted by the friendliest employee I have ever met (And I have been to many places) Gino was very courteous, answered all the questions I had and even best, did not try to upsell me anything.i also learned that they will do what they can to get a specific instrument in, if they do not have it. I then brought my guitar in for a setup. Not only was he really quick (It was done by the end of the day), but such an amazing job was done on my guitar. It plays like a dream. The best part of the whole experience was that I wasn't treated like a customer, but as a friend. I highly reccomend going to GRANATA MUSIC to anyone who is either beginning to learn how to play an instrument, or even the well seasoned ones. This is most definitely a place I am going back to. It is my new home away from home.

Can't recommend Granata music enough! Great selection of instruments and accessories, and the owner is fantastic. Great friendly service and goes above and beyond
13 May 2021 23:28
Good prices, fast service, and super friendly staff:) I'll definitely be back for any future musical needs!
24 January 2021 1:27
So so friendly, great prices even better people, go there, do it. You won't regret it, better than your faviroute meal, I promise.:)
25 December 2020 3:51
When I arrived I had missed the store hours by a few minutes. I called to make sure the hours were accurate (because of covid) and the owner actually turned around and came back and opened the store for me! He was very polite and knowledgable. A great experience!
20 December 2020 5:18
Great guitars at great prices. Has all kinds of guitars from acoustic, electric or both.

Friendly knowledgeable staff

Great guitar repair!
03 December 2020 4:08
This is a pretty cool store for Ottawa's limited number of music stores and rehearsal spaces. I go there once a week at the drum room with different jam bodies, and it's a pretty descent place with a fair price. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I don't have other but great impressions. Recommended for drummers or small bands! Thank you!
17 November 2020 19:50
Gino is always super kind and helpful! Great local business and good prices. There are always treasures to be found at Granata Music!

5 star just from a phone call. Gentleman was extremely friendly, polite, helpful, and excited about his job. 30 second phone call and I could tell this is a good place if the employee or owner sounds like that.
02 November 2020 10:51
Great service from Gino for new guitar strings and tuning. He did it all while I waited in the parking lot over my lunch hour. Great safety precautions in the store. Helpful and informative. Highly recommend!

Definitely recommend the trip there. Excellent customer service with a chill and friendly environment. Ask for Gino, he is a legend. He fixed my old electric guitar to even better than it was when it was new. Awesome people, awesome store.
27 October 2020 2:18
The owner (Gino) was so helpful when I came in to buy a new amp.staff was genuinely enthusiastic and happy to help. Great store with great service
23 October 2020 16:23
Had an issue with a guitar, when I brought it in Gino was able to figure out the problem within seconds and had it fixed the same day
17 October 2020 20:53
As a piano teacher, Granata Music is my go to shop for music books. I am highly satisfied with my experience with this store and staff. I receive exact quote and timely delivery for my books.
13 October 2020 8:17
Great service, very informative, and the staff there are awesome! Also the owner, Gino, is a great guy!

Awesome place ro be as soon as you meet the manager you already like the guy and he does his job very well!
30 September 2020 6:39
Truly expensive and unfair place to change your guitar strings.
They charged me $60 for a simple work while I was waiting for the manager almost one hour to change strings of my acoustic guitar.
Very unfriendly manager.
I will never ever shop there again.
27 September 2020 18:34
Such an awesome place. People were super nice especially Gino.
Got my Epiphone Hummingbird Pro from here almost a week ago and I've been loving it. Definitley a great place to get instruments etc.

I took bass lessons with Mina for a few years and loved it! Granata provides an incredibly supportive and encouraging learning environment and is a great place to explore your passion for music. The staff in also very knowledgeable and are a great help for anything music related.
12 August 2020 9:01
While most franchise music stores were quoting a month turn-around to get my guitar serviced, Gino got the thing done in under 48h.

On top of that, he always kept me in the loop and even had me come in for half an hour to help fine-tune it to my liking.

Really appreciative of the amazing and quick help /service I received, during a pandemic no less!

Will be returning here for all my future music-related needs
08 August 2020 11:11
The best service ever, Gino is very knowledgeable, and experienced. He helped me with my guitar and he has very good prices! I really recommend, I will be a customer for life!
30 July 2020 17:11
Gino was extremely helpful with my experience. Helped give me advice on how to fix my guitar and also bought some new strings + cord. Excellent service 5/5. If you’re looking for a great store with even better service come here!
03 July 2020 9:54
I need a tuner and during this hard times with the pandemic still going, I thought I have to wait for longer to buy one. But I phoned GRANATA and I was accommodated very delightfully. I was running late for the agreed time, but he patiently waited and helped me with a very friendly service. Thank you Granata and I forgot to ask his name but he is gorgeous. And I got complimentary gift too!
30 June 2020 13:59
Called to make and appoitnment was friendly over the phone and got me an quick appointment. Once it was repaired was alot quicker to repair charged me a reduce price amazing. Let me sit and talk why he was repairing. Nice experience
06 May 2020 13:45
Amazing staff, owner, and teachers! I’ve always had amazing experiences at Granata and cannot recommend them enough.
14 October 2019 2:23
This is easily one of the BEST music stores in the city! They have a great selection of instruments, offer lessons and even perform repairs.

I used to come here as a kid, but haven't visited for over a decade since I moved. I was in the area today and was excited to visit this store again.

Some things never change! The customer service here is and will always be top notch. I went in just for strings and lemon oil. I was immediately greeted with a smile as I entered.

I was first assisted by Gino. He was knowledgable and quickly found what I was looking for. I had a few questions which both Gino and Victor were able to answer. Both of them were very personable, friendly and helpful.

I've been to many guitar stores with forgettable experiences and even rude staff. The team here at Granata Music make you feel welcome and are happy to help with anything you need. I highly recommend checking this place out!
03 October 2019 23:46
I cannot say anything but praise this store and the owner! He has done an amazing job training the staff! They are so polite and helpful. Fairly priced store too! Great store
05 September 2019 14:04
Went in a few months back to pick up strings. Even if they had what i was looking for the guy recommended a similar string that i went for and ended up liking better. I've been playing guitar for 30 years and have never been to a store where there take the time to offer alternatives of the usual gear i chose, this is really great.

Since then this is my new go to spot and is so much closer to my home then going downtown. No complaints at all
18 May 2019 7:05
My go to place for all my gear! They match prices and can special order anything I need. Great store def recommend to anyone
