Visite uniquement en anglais, donc pas facile à tout comprendre mais on oublie vite ce détail tellement l'endroit transpire la musique...
La visite est très amusante et pleine de vie grâce à son guide très enthousiaste. L'endroit est magique, n'oubliez pas qu' Elvis a enregistré son premier titre dans ce studio et a vu passer les plus grands de la musique américaine : Johnny Cash, BB King...
A la fin de la visite, vous pouvez profiter de la salle d'enregistrement et poser avec le micro dans lequel Elvis a poussé la chansonnette!
