I'll be the first to admit I haven't been good about hitting music stores in a few years and in the…read moredays when I did I was a big box store guy because that's what I knew. I quickly learned that places like Uncle Bobs are where you really need to go. Here's why. 1. These are passionate musicians that know what they are talking about. 2. Support local business!! 3. Super awesome staff of really helpful guys. 4. SELECTION! This place is unassuming from the outside but once you're in there and see the size and yes, you can go upstairs, you'll be looking around for a while. I was usher d around in search of the perfect piece in my price range and it was a really easy transaction. If you're in the market for new or used instruments, make this your first stop. In short, this place rocks!

They also have a back room where I have attended a toddler music class. This was cute and fun.

And it's more of a resale shop -- not too much new stuff when I was in there, but the owner ordered me a new speaker so I think he'll special order stuff for anyone. Also, you should ask if you are looking for something you don't see. He pulled out some cool guitars from the back to show me. They also do repairs and buy your old equipment. I dig this shop even with the 90's name. Support your local businesses!

Lincoln Music House earns my highest recommendation. I studied here more than fifty years ago and…read morethe service and expertise I remember continues to this day. You know that's remarkable as well as I do. I recently had my Fender Strat set up here by Larry, and I could not be more pleased: knowledgeable staff, affordable pricing, accurate craftsmanship, personal service and a timely completion that NONE of the other shops in town can beat let alone approach. My Strat plays much better. Looking for something new? Lincoln Music House offers a nice selection of guitars and other music instruments, accessories, too! Thank you, Bob, Larry and Al!

I used to love the service here but I had an unfortunate incident in where I had to return an item I bought & only 11 days after I bought it & I was made to feel about two inches tall when I asked for the favor. Im a disabled Iraq veteran on a fixed income & I had some bad luck fall upon me & I was made to feel like I was going to bankrupt the business but fortunately the owners wife intervened & allowed my return. I cane back the next month & I bought a bass off of them, which cost 4x as much as the item I returned, & I did it as a thanks for helping me the prior month but instead of thank you, i got a sarcastic comment from the owner about if I was going to return the guitar too! I already paid for the bass otherwise I was ready to give it right back but I just kept my mouth shut despite being highly insulted. That was the last time I set foot i.n Lincoln Music House I hope their business gets better because they turned me off after going there for over 35 years. It's a shame because with Uncle Bob's going out of business, there aren't a lot of mom & pop stores left but customer service is #1 in my book & they definitely drove me away with their poor attitudes & it's a shame. Still, if you need an affordable instrument or need some maintenance on one, they do offer quality in both. My bass was set up perfectly & even though Im mad at em, I hope they continue to exist because I am a fan of small businesses even with grumpy owners.

They have several faces that have been constant through the years and I appreciate their kindness and patience when I have questions. I highly recommend them for your music needs.

I recently bought a used Digitech BP90 and boy lemme tell you, this has to be the worst way I…read morecould've EVER spent my money, and it's not the fact that it's an old used pedal, it's because this very Guitar Center listed it as good. Keep in mind, they rate things as "good" because it's fully functional with some cosmetic wear, which they are partially right about since it did have pretty neat sticker on the front and some velcro on the back, but when I received it and plugged it in it barely worked. The right footswitch wasn't functional, along with the expression pedal which was completely dead, the left footswitch had maybe 2 clicks left until it died. So I called this Guitar Center earlier today and asked if I can get a partial refund to help pay for repair costs since I plan on keeping it to fix it up. The guy said "sorry, we can't do that you didn't pay for pro coverage". I know that's a lie it was listed as fully functional and I received it as barely functional. I can't be completely negative though, the guy did sound very nice and respectful. So I'm over here, feeling scammed after being sold a piece of junk that was listed as the complete opposite of complete junk. Never buy from used Guitar Center, if you want used gear just go to Reverb. I also recommend Zzounds or Sweetwater for new gear instead of this place.

I've had some good, some great, and some indifferent experiences with the music conservatory…read more A couple of experiences that has me marking them down: My first experience with the conservatory was signing up for a private lesson. I show up and it's the teachers last week with them (they assigned the teacher). Not only that, but they were about to enter a "break" and there wasn't any way to take something the next week. Not a very good first impression. I ended up giving up on a class because it was impossible to find parking. The class was right after work, and just I didn't have an extra 20-30min to spend looking for parking. Parking is the absolute biggest headache with their East Side location. I'm in a class right now that is constantly left scrounging for a room. Seriously, if you advertise a class at a certain time the room should not ever be double booked and it should not be an ongoing issue. I hate their breaks. As an adult, if I enjoy a hobby I want to continue. To have an 8 or 16 week thing and then a big break is a pain. Even worse is when the private lessons are affected by their breaks too. On the bright side of things: There are some excellent instructors teaching here. I've had good experiences with most of the classes and teachers. Most of them are at least semi pros. Compared to other classes in the area I feel you get your monies worth here (considering they are a bit more expensive than the other options this is a good thing). It's possible to try something in a class and then get really serious with it with private lessons and such. Some of the other programs around the community leave you hanging after the intro class is done.

My aunt received a certificate as a piano teacher there over 80 years ago, and our daughter studied both piano and flute there with memorable teachers over 25 years ago. Such an institution needs to have reviews that appreciate its broader history and its contributions to the Milwaukee cultural scene. While practical minor snafus should be corrected, the pride that Milwaukee has in this place should be celebrated.
