I recently discovered this place on 16048 Via Estes rd in Sonora, when I brought my flute in to get…read morean overhaul. In the process I learned about what they have to offer and of their generosity in supporting the music programs in local schools. They walk the talk, donating time, effort, and part of store proceeds so kids have instruments to play. Ron and Lloyd are passionate about bringing music into everyone's life and providing something much more fulfilling than scrolling on one's phone - personal connection and fun. I attended their 2nd "209 Club", 2nd Saturday of the month, where us music novices can jam together. There were guitar players, a bass, piano, drums and more to come as the rest of us catch on and attend, myself included.

If you are a music teacher or a musician I have a cautionary tale for you. Over 3 months ago, I…read moremade arrangements with Gottschalks Music in Modesto to have an instrument rental night for my students where they would come to my school and my kids could get instruments from them. Even got a phone call last week confirming that they would see me on Monday (8/15). Well, today at 3:45pm I received a phone call from Gottschalks telling me that they had to cancel my instrument rental night. I was taken aback! All i could muster was a, "Why?!?!" And then I was told by the employee that "I was told they we're not doing that and we have to cancel". When I asked why they would do that, after we had this planned and confirmed months ago, he said, "I didn't get a good reason why"... I was so livid. All I got was a "Sorry..." I told them that they really screwed me over and that it's their loss... Then they had the audacity to say, "Well if you still want information about rentals, I can send that to you." I responded with, "If you think I'll EVER do business with you again after the stunt you just pulled, you just be out of your mind!" Then he said, "Sorry..." and I hung up the call. I have never dealt with such a level of unprofessional incompetence in my life! Luckily, this story has a happy ending, and my faith in humanity has been restored. I reached out to Ingram and Brauns Musik Shoppe and told them about my situation. Not only can they host a rental night for me but, I don't have to go through the pain of trying to reschedule the whole event because they can even come this Monday on my original date. So, moral of the story: STEER CLEAR OF GOTTSCHALKS MUSIC! The most undependable, and flaky of all business. Shower Ingram & Brauns with all your affection and business!

When I refused that service because I don't trust them now, he refused to hear my concerns and got more and more upset until he hung up on me. When I called back and told him he hung up on me he said "yes I did and I can refuse service to anyone and I'll do it again."
