Love this spot. It's my go to retail store for gear these days. Love the staff and they were so patiently mellow when my 3 year old was making a ruckus on my last visit. Trying to inspire him with the music bug early, so thank you! I'll be back in soon.

My partner and I always have a great experience here. They helped us find the perfect new guitar for him and were very patient as he tested them. Great service and prices. Ryan is awesome!

Received quick attention from the young guy behind the counter. Answered my acoustic string questions quickly. Very clean place with a lot of used and new guitars. A nice percussion section also. It's on Shattuck, so parking is a chore. But a nice shop with a lot of cables, straps, pedals and goodies for guitar.

Super chill feel with plenty of helpful and knowledgeable staff. Loved that all the amps were ready to plug and play. I admit i haven't been to many music stores to compare, but there won't be any need to try someplace else. We'll definitely be repeat customers! He's playing This orange Jackson more than he's played anything else to date. Happy daddy to have a stoked 11 year old rocking a Back in Black riff!

My bassoon-playing grandson needs a mandrel for reed shaping. Any suggestions if they are available locally or is on-line the best way to get one.
