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

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!

Steve came to tune out upright Essex piano. The entire experience was lovely - from chatting with…read morehis wife to schedule the appointment to chatting with Steve while he was here tuning our piano. He made everything so easy - asking questions about the history of our piano and how we used it up front, explaining what he quickly found and what his plan was, and then getting it to sound great. No judgement at all about the fact that we hadn't ever had it tuned since we got it in estate sale years ago (eek!). I didn't think it sounded too bad before - hence putting it off for so long - but now I know how bad it was! Piano sounds great and I'm even more encouraged to play now. It was great supporting a local, truly family business (and for a totally fair price). I already scheduled my follow up in six months and look forward to seeing Steve or his team again then.

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.
