Way over priced for used drums. Ripped me off something terrible! Got me for $2700 on drums that were worth a fraction of that!!!

My son takes guitar lessons here and loves them. Bernie is very patient with him and also teaches him some of the "cool" stuff to keep him interested. Lessons are affordable and I my opinion well worth it.

This place is great. Always a wide variety of unique and vintage used gear to choose from. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are very helpful and willing to negotiate. They're one of the last brick and morter music instrument resale store left in the area so get the band back together and check them out.

I don't get to come here as much as I would like to but when I do I've never had an issue with staff they've always been very nice the owner is awesome. They gave me a very fair price on a speaker cabinet when I was in hard times. Anytime I've been there staff has been very knowledgeable and even if they weren't they help me look it up and I don't mind that not everyone's going to know 100% of everything. Five stars

They're pretty pricey and the guy at the counter was not very knowledgeable about music. He didn't know how many strings were on a violin, which was frustrating. He tried to sell me an expensive set ($30) when I asked for the cheapest set they had. I needed a starter set for a friend who just started playing and the strings he was trying to sell me were half the price online. The cashier seemed indifferent when I told him that and then seemed upset when I spotted a cheaper set by the register and asked to purchase those instead ($15). As a musician, I'm willing to pay top dollar for quality. And I prefer to shop locally, not on Amazon. But when I mentioned that, he kind of scoffed and asked why. I explained that I prefer to support local businesses and real people and his reaction was kind of negative. I got the strings I needed after some awkwardness but I think I'll find somewhere else to go moving forward. When I walk into a music store, I expect to be greeted by folks who want to talk about.. oh, I dunno.. makin' music? Not just uneducated employees who want to get me in and out of the store as fast as possible with overpriced products.

Out of 5 stars, I give these folks 10! Makin Music was my go to music shop for years, long before Google Reviews were a thing. I have purchased many basses, amps and strings over the years and found Makin Music to be top shelf then and now. It’s been a few years since I have played so I dropped off the ol bass for a set up and new strings. The young man you took care of me was fantastic! And the store looks just as cool now as it did the last time I was in!If you need gear, accessories or just take in the cool vibes of an old school music shop, Makin Music is a must!! -kev

Never made a visit. There is a traffic light next to the store. Google can't tell I was sitting waiting for the light to change. Nevertheless. This is an excellent musical instrument store. Check them out.

I made contact with Tyler and he went out of his way to help me track down a good bass amp. It was so nice to have full range of bass tones and the emg-jvx to really sing..I was using a guitar amp regrettably as back up. Great guitar amp but absolutely not for bass..glad Tyler was so helpfulDamian

The bass guitar section is extremely overpriced. No way should most of those guitars cost more than $250. No wonder why I was seeing the same stuff from a few years ago. Oh yeah I think the anti social employee with long black hair needs to work somewhere without customer interaction.

The guys that run this store are really great and helpful! Even when I ran into an issue they were so gracious and fantastic with helping me that I'd recommend them to others. I was hoping for a bigger guitar string inventory, but I'm sure online ordering has made that super difficult.
