Went there again today -- to buy strings that I needed now. The management/ownership must encourage these clowns to treat people like garbage, because they've honed it into a fine art. Funny how music retailers are shuttering stores left and right in Houston. I wonder where the slack-jawed counterhelp at Rockin' Robin will go to be rude to customers after that store closes... I've decided to order my Elixirs by the case over the internet. Not worth the hassle or drive to go locally. Funny story -- a few years ago I needed a guitarist for session work fast. Was willing to pay top dollar and sponser union dues. Walked into Rockin' Robin, spent 5 minutes talking to some arrogant failed-musician-turned-music-store-cashier-know-it-all, and walked out. Instead found an axe slinger at local high school for the performing arts.

Rockin' Robin is a wonderful guitar store filled with all of the equipment you would need to make beautiful sound. The guitars are all really good quality and sound. The employee's attitudes are helpful and excited that you are going into the music field and that you might be the next big thing. The atmosphere is sort of like a club, because at least 20 other people are playing some instrument.

I went there after reading the online review. The review must have been written by an owner or employee! I was there for 30 minutes; NOT ONE person said hello! I really needed help because I know nothing about music instruments. My nephew wanted a bass and I have never bought a bass! Maybe I just didn't look as cool as the guy who came in later with news of a get together that seemed to lure the salesguys from behind the counter with ease! I took my $1500 elsewhere. NOT recommended.
