Steve's new store on Sainte-Catherine is a must for every musician in Montreal area, they don't…read morehave any choice as Palais des congrès ( Congress house) ask them to moved as they are rule by government it was move or die choice. so after being on sainte-Antoine street (old Montreal) since 1965 ! They moved to downtown last summer. Their store is in a nice spot in front of bar Foufounes Électriques on main street ( Sainte-Catherine) and inside they have less space but everything is nicely placed (unlike the old store were everything was place in a spot wherever they can put it. And they have a nice stage were they want to put live artist and it should be really interesting new idea in future. After the owner died (Steve Kirkland RIP), his son want to keep it going. I will see if they can survive in this new era were most peoples buy used in Canada as most new music gear is overprice cause of USA currency over CND dollar. But this is the the ultimate music store in Montreal, the only thing is that they don't do exchange (old guitar for an new one) unlike lots of stores in the province, so maybe it can be a new thing that can make them earn more profits if they change it. When i was younger salesmen were rude, but now they are super friendly ( maybe it's because older peoples have more money than younger ones but i think that they should take care more of their customers. But now they're friendly and competent. This place was the place were any Montreal musicians went to buy gears. In their old store they have a wall full of pictures with autograph pix with well known musicians like Aldo Nova, April wine, Frank Marino, Voi Vod, Simple Plans etc. So if you want to go to the Montreal best music Store you'll find the place. Long live Steve's ! Le nouveau magasin de Steve's music est la place pour les musiciens à Montreal ! Steve's music à du déménager car le Palais des Congrès leurs a ordonné de déménager sinon il aurait été exproprié. Il était dans leurs ancien local depuis les années 60 ! Le nouveau magasin très bien situé rue Sainte-Catherine en face des Foufounes Électriques. Il ont un peu moins de place mais il y a une petite scène ou ils vont invités des bands à faire de petites prestations, ce qui devrait être très intéressant ! Après le décès de leur fondateur (Steve Kirkland RIP) son fils a voulu continuer le magasin. Nous allons voir si il vont survivre, car maintenant avec la montée des prix des instruments à cause de la montée du dollars USA, les gens achète surtout des instruments usagés. Je pense que s'ils fesait des échanges ils pouraient faire plus d'argent avec tous les magasins hors Montréal qui en font et qui réussisent bien. Quand j'était plus jeunes les vendeurs étaient assez bêtes avec les jeunes ( pensant qu'il n'avait pas d'argent, je me souvient que mon guitariste c'est fait demandé si il avait de l'argent pour acheter un ampli !). Mainetenant les vendeurs sont gentils et compétents.g La nouvelle adresse est bien propre et bien rangé contrairement au vieux magasin ou tout était mis là ou il y a de la place un peu n'importe comment ! C'est le meilleur magasin de musique à Montréal C'était la place ou tous les musiciens allaient acheter leurs stocks ! Dans le vieux magasin il y avait un mur plein de photo de musiciens connu comme Aldo Nova, April Wine, Frank Marino, Voi Vod, Simple Plan etc. Si vous chercher le meilleur magasin de musique à Montréal vous l'avez trouvé ! Long vie à Steve's music !

Long and Mcguade is a music store founded by Jack Long in Toronto in 1957…read more Jack Long was a professional trumpet player who decided to sells instruments to his friends. And it was his bussiness partner Jack Mcguade (who is a drummer)who gave lessons in the same building. However their association last until 1965, but Jack Long kept the name and continue his musical bussiness and the rest made history as Canada's largest chain of music retailer. What's good about this store is that not only they sells all the big brand like Fender, Gibson, Marshall, tama etc. They also take you old instruments and give you credit so you can buy better ones. And unlike Steve's music the service is good you don't have to chase a salemen to try a gtr ! Recently i bought an amplifier from Laval store amplifier had doesnt work good, and they order another one from Markam store for me, and i was able to have it one week later like they said. So they try to satisfy their customers and with so many stores it's easier. I think their next moves should be to open a big store neir dowtomn Montreal. As their ahuntsic store is very small. I think they prefer to have stores in suburb like Laval and Longueuil stores. I recommand it if you want to change your guitar or bass for a better one you can exchange it and with extra cash acquire a better one.

This is the ONLY place I purchase music instruments from…read more Not only is the staff friendly and very knowledgeable, their store policies on returns and exchanges is second to none anywhere in North America. Nothing is better. When I returned an item last week that didn't fit my needs I was shocked that the employee would rather refund me then give me a store credit! How cool is that? They really go out of their way to make you feel important. Simon the guitar technician fixed a fret issue that was plaguing a guitar and refused that I pay since it didnt take him long. Thanks Simon.you rock. Biaggio (hope I spelled it right!) and Daniel are by far the friendliest musicians/sales advisors I've ever met. They actually ARE musician, Daniel plays with TheBox! I used to go to Steve's downtown or italmelodie and used to be that I would walk in and the crew there would make me feel like I was wasting their time or wasnt worth the extra effort needed to adress my questions. Or most of the time would ignore me. I've spent thousands now at the Laval store of Long & Mc Quade and will continue to do so as long as they keep doing exactly what they do now! I'm going in this morning for an Orange 30W tube head, I know I'll be welcomed by name and not with looks of "oh no what the hell does this guy want again". Don't take my word for it, go check out the store and admire everything laid out for you to try before you buy, their wall of guitars is something to behold! Tell em Ray Malone sent ya! Cheers!
