This time the shop had moved to a new location. I was staying downtown and was able to hop on the rail and arrive within a reasonable, but m,operate walk from the train stop. It wasn't necessarily an ideal walk front eh train, but definitely manageable. This shop is always packed with cool stuff - in this newer location they have much more space and Heaven more great stuff. New and used, they have lots to look at. I was definitely impressed with the guitar pedals that they keep in stock. Really appreciate the ability to check out some uncommon stuff that I have been interested in potentially adding to my pedal board. The folks here are always friendly and obviously love talking about music equipment as much as I do. Definitly A+ for Flipside Music shop!

Super helpful and kind. Fair pricing and their crew is very knowledgeable. Great shop dogs too!read more

I didn't end up having any PAYING services done, but he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable…read more I brought in a thriftstore guitar that was broken, and I was wondering if it was worth fixing up. It. Was. Not. But Tenorio Werx was very through in explaining the history of the guitar, the various issues with it, some stemming from its hapdash original manufacturing, and explained the process and costs it would take to fix a guitar. He also gave me some ideas on how to recycle it if I was uncomfortable with just throwing it out. If I ever come across another guitar in need of refurbishing, I'd definitely take it here.

Because every time I bring my guitar in, it comes out feeling brand new. Every time. Mark's education is always insightful, advising you when to buy and when you shouldn't. D'Addario strings are the only strings on the market that are consistently guaged as they say they are for example. D'Addario should pay him cause I havn't bought a different brand since. Those things make a difference. And you sure as shit are not going to get that at Guitar Center or really any store in town. If you gotta guitar that needs attention, this is your guy. You won't get a better setup. And not to mention, we guitar players are often high maintenance. So everyone of us comes in with drama or desperation. And he understands totally and will give you a realistic turnaround.

I'm fairly new in town, and had had bad luck trying to get a particular Swiss-made guitar amplifier…read morefixed. By word of mouth, after trying several local repairmen, I got wind of "Shon" at Sound Town. He combed over the amp tooth and nail, and finally solved the problem for me, a problem that turned out to be not so much a broken component (my guess) as operator error, a change-over from an active to passive guitar, and the need for a suitable pre-amp to boost the signal . It took a lot of testing and reading of manuals and schematics, before Sean figured out what was going on. He went so far as to compare my sound-levels with those of other amps in the stores and he was quite patient and thorough in every regard. I made several trips to the store, and became acquainted with three key people there, all of whom were very nice, and I got a feeling for their special niche in the music world, which is the supplying of sound systems and various components, whether for rentals-out or for purchase. They keep a fair supply of guitar needs and are happy to order anything you might want at a fair price. Though Guitar Center and places like Kolacny's and Flesher-Hinton all have their place, I'll always begin by shopping here because of their patience and kindness. It is a special kind of store with special kind of people, and it always feels good to be patronizing a locally owned business of modest proportions. Bravo!

Since I was saving up to get a better flute, I didn't want to put a huge amount of money into it. When I took it to Meis, I got to speak with the actual person would be repairing my flute. I got an immediate targeted assessment why my flute was not working. I got an education on the flute mechanism. I got an estimate less than half of what the other place would have charged me. And I got my flute back with the main problem fixed, along with several others. I'm very appreciative!

My mom brought my violin to this place to have it repaired for me as a graduation present…read more My violin has never played like this! I am so impressed with the quality of the repair. Not only does my violin sound better than it ever has, it's easier to play too. They also did some cosmetic work, and it really does look much nicer. When we went to pick the violin up, we returned our rental and we were greeted with an opportunity to go to a practice room and test it out. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful, and I could really tell that they cared about my satisfaction with the repair. They also gave me great care advice when I asked. I'm so thrilled to have my violin sound so nice and for it to be so well taken care of. For any string instrument repair, I would extremely highly recommend. I am sure their lessons are top notch too, though I haven't experienced for myself.
