I then went on to purchase a more expensive bass and the money I paid in rent was credited towards my purchase! 100% recommend this shop. Justin and Corinne are very friendly and knowledgable and made me feel welcome and heard as a customer throughout my entire experience. Great product and service!

For anyone who needs more convincing to go here (beyond the 30+ five star reviews on Google and Facebook), just ask Christian McBride, the Eastman School of Music bass professors, RPO bassists, and countless other professionals who have come through this shop and can testify to the workmanship.

That said, the vinyl they do have is small but well curated. They also sell vintage speakers, turntables, and other gear. The vibe inside feels like a classic vintage record shop muted colors, a bit nostalgic. The guy behind the counter was cool and approachable. I believe you can also bring in vinyl or stereo equipment to sell, but you'd want to contact them first. It's a cool little place

Chillest music store I've been to in a long time. I went in hungry just to grab a gig bag that I…read moreneeded, but ended up staying hours playing with the guitars and basses. They have mostly used gear, a lot of guitars and basses, a few drum kits, some synths, and a bunch of rack gear. Generally I felt like the prices for guitars and bases were pretty high, but they seemed well taken care of, and I bet it's the kind of place too can negotiate. The rack gear seemed like a good value. I'd recommend them as your first stop if you are shopping for an instrument.

Once I brought my CB radio installation to them, they actually were able to identify the problem, fixed it and got me up and running again. Once again, they were all very knowledgeable and a pleasure to do business with. I would highly recommend them. A cut above the rest for sure.

They have everything from concert tees, albums (vinyls, cassettes, cds), guitars, pedals, etc Some stuff you see in there just isn't preserved correctly though which is really sad... some stuff has been sitting in sun light so long and is so faded its heart breaking. They could definitely go through a lot of stuff to make some space in the clutter. I know that's part of the charm but it really makes it look like shit in there. I know I sound harsh but that place really is dope and is a true gem especially with the artists who have come through to take pics and play there!

I remember String House decades ago when I used to play so I knew they were reputable. They also carried the book and CD that we needed to purchase. Look for the white house with the bright red door on Monroe Ave. Parking is in the back. It was a short wait while they finished with other customers. The rental process was easy and quick. My daughter was already measured, but the associate did a quick double check and tuned the violin. It came with the basics - violin, bow, case, rosin, and a nametag. The price includes insurance and repairs during the rental period, which is a school year or 12 months. We didn't have to buy a shoulder rest because sponges usually work fine for the little ones, but it fit her well so we bought one, in her favorite color pink. Seamless rental process and so beautiful to see the instruments displayed all along the ceiling. It was nostalgic!
