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!

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.

I bought a used clarinet (Yamaha composite) for my daughter this Summer. I brought it to Thomas…read moreMusic after having a very poor experience with a large national instrument chain that tried to sell me repairs that I didn't need. Thomas Music guys were pros from the start. Since they pinpointed immediately the repair needed, no more, no less, I knew I could trust them. I had them do a complete overhaul (all pads, cork, and one rusted bar) on the clarinet. The excellent work was done quickly and for a very reasonable price. They stated the scope of work in the beginning, as well as the estimated charges, and followed through. I am very impressed and would highly recommend these instrument experts, as they have earned my complete trust.

Great option for used audio gear!…read more Mark showed me a range of audio equipment within my price range--all of which he's personally inspected, fixed, and tuned up. I was looking for a receiver, turn-table, and speakers. Once we narrowed down to a system that seemed like a good fit, we set it up, put on a couple of records in the listening room, and then I could hear the new sound that would be filling my living room. The gear looks and sounds great, is more durable and far less expensive than new gear of comparable quality. All-in-all enjoyable buying experience. Good vibes, Mark is very knowledge. Next to Pontillos, parking right in front.

This shop is right next to the pizza place, and they share a small parking lot…read more They carry a good selection of vinyl and CDs, though I wish there were more overseas bands represented. 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

The teachers are great, we have had a few throughout the two years we have attended and we have loved all of them! Esther, the owner is incredibly welcoming and so much fun, Tara is super sweet and talented and Michelle (our absolute FAVORITE!) is great for kids of all ages. She is so fun and makes each member feel like part of the family (kids and adults!). I highly recommend this program. Personally, I love the multi-age class, but I'm sure they are wonderful, you can't go wrong!
