Is there any other name as synonymous with the craft of learning music as the Dahlgren's? You'd be…read morehard-pressed to find another family who has engrained themselves so much in the music education of students in the Napa Valley. I have had the pleasure of knowing the Dahlgren family for years now, and even worked at R Pals Music way back when I was in high school (one of my first jobs required stringing guitars for Mr. Dahlgren). I am happy to see that, ten years later, their business is still a part of the community and still supplying the eager musicians of tomorrow with the tools necessary to realize their dreams. Beyond all of this, the real draw of R Pals Music, is the mom and pop store attitude the Dahlgren's bring to their business. This is LITERALLY a mom and pop store, the kind of breed that is rare to find these days. To truly understand the appeal, just walk in the store. You'll no doubt be taken by Patricia's warm and welcoming humor or Robert's infectious laugh. You can do business with a music supply store that views you no differently than a collection stub... or your could bring your business to a family that has made a habit out of making their customers part of their own.

They are not there to coerce you into parting with your hard earned remuneration; they are there simply to brighten your day. Should you ultimately decide you are there to purchase an instrument or piece of equipment, they will guide and advise you accordingly in making the ideal choice, based on YOUR needs, not theirs. The layout of this shop is systematized in such a manner that is easy on the eyes, a ubiquitous immaculacy, rarely found in a guitar shop. A complimentary coffee bar and hangout nook is such a welcome and beguiling feature. It's not difficult to imagine spending more time in this shop than one has budgeted for; and that's the point, you'll never feel anything but welcome to lounge about, test out some amazing gear, and enjoy all the store and its owners have to offer... Speaking of the owners, Billy's proficient skill with guitar repair has left me in awe. The first two guitars (Ibanez and Fender) I brought in were in need of some serious love. When I picked them up, I plugged them in and found they played better than what I had first purchased them or at any point after. The level of skill and care applied is immeasurable. He treats every instrument as if it were his own. This shop and its owners are a true treasure and a most welcome addition to the town of Petaluma. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it. \m/
