Great service, laid back atmosphere, good prices, high quality.
They cool
Bought a guitar case they had lots of choices.
Some vintage gear and some brands I’ve never seen before. Mike was very friendly. If you’re visiting Carbondale and need a quick fix, swing on by. Easy to find on main drag.
Nice little pocket shop to pick up some accessories and or a guitar you had no idea was there lol. Drum sticks are decently priced too although limited to two brands. I absolutely love the mascots too!
Nice guy.
4. Shivelbine Music Store, Inc.
Address: 535 Broadway St, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701 , Alexander County , Illinois , United States
The store showed me exactly what I needed.hooked me up with the price (no charged fees or tax).I will definitely come back here for my music purposes.
It is an excellent music store with almost anything you need for almost any instrument.
I stopped in today 2/14/2020 and was very impressed!! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming store!! Curt helped me with everything and I will definitely be giving them all my business in the future. It’s also great to deal with a family owned business, Curt’s daughter, who also works there was very kind. This place just makes you feel welcome and at home with people that are ready to help with anything you need. It’s was also great to hear Curt play, one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard, he’s played for 50 years and makes it look effortless!! Stop in and see them, you’ll be glad you did!
Really nice people, just very overpriced
Had everything we needed.
Best place ever to me
They sold me a violin for 2,000 and when I had it appraised the specialist said they cost $100 for a set of three. I will never do business with them again and I urge anyone to go elsewhere
6. The Practice Pad
Address: 116 N Illinois Ave, Carbondale, IL 62901 , Alexander County , Illinois , United States
the best place to buy from someone someone who has a brain…….
Been taking guitar instruction here for over two years. Chad and Mike are great, and I recommend The Practice Pad for anyone seeking musical instruction.

Address: 326 S Main St, Anna, IL 62906 , Alexander County , Illinois , United States
Always friendly and helpful in finding what you need.
Always awesome people too deal with.
The people put 100% effort into getting you what you need. Even if that means they miss a sale. Because of that ive done all my business with them.
Very helpful staff
The girls who waited on me couldn’t have been more cordial and helpful. I wish they had a broader assortment of the classic oldies sheet music I was looking for. But there is always the internet. Perhaps my age has caught up with me. LOL.
11. Swing City Music Co
Address: 244 S Buchanan St, Edwardsville, IL 62025 , Alexander County , Illinois , United States
Love this place. Really helped my son hone his guitar skills with weekly lessons. Very appreciative of their time and effort.
Staff was nice, they’ve got some good deals too!
Probably my favorite guitar shop
Staff is nice. Small store, but if they don’t have it, they order it and get it to you within a couple days.
Two location. If they don’t have what you need here try the store in Collinsville.
I use to be an avid customer. But I am growing more and more frustrated with the management. I feel like I’m going into a sleazy used car dealership most the time and I am treated like a waking wallet. I’ve bought some guitars and amps there, so I am (or was) returning customer . The employees act fake and I feel like everyone is treated like they are a child. I was going in there to look around if there was any new stock, the employee kept on hovering and was forcing me to play the instrument I didn’t want to try.
Honestly, go to mojos. This place is as unpleasant as a guitar center
Was at the Edwardsville store this afternoon and one of the employees was very unhelpful and rude. Instead of helping he just told me everything was out of my price range. He doesn’t know me or how much money I had in my pocket. Will never go back!.
12. Jackson Audio & Music Supply, LLC
Address: 127 W Main St, Jackson, MO 63755 , Alexander County , Illinois , United States
We booked JAMS for our DJ and videographer, and I can’t say enough about how awesome they were! Jake and Molly were absolutely great to work with and kept me sane throughout the day. They were extremely professional and accommodating of the changes in our schedule. Best choice in vendor of our entire wedding. 12/10 would recommend to a friend.
Took 2 guitars in to get restringed. Loved the conversation and the job they did. Thank you for all the help, and treating us like we’re family! 10/10 would recommend.

Address: 3581 Larch Ln, Jackson, MO 63755 , Alexander County , Illinois , United States
Great independent music shop. Nice variety & selection of instruments, both new & used. Friendly, knowledgeable, honest staff, full service, and fair prices. I’ve driven the 90 miles to do business there for over 20 years.
A good old school music store.
It’s a really good place. Sorry, we were the ones that crashed intk the building
This place is so bad I’d rather go to guitar center and I hate guitar center. They are fine if you’re just going for lesson but if you’re doing any type of business seriously save yourself the trouble and go to any other local store or guitar center.
The entrance was beautiful the photos of all the different artist and musicians was wonderful and gave me an idea of what I could be some day. I was greeted appropriately, and they answered all my questions, but that was just what they did. They didn’t ask any further questions or give me a reason to be there and learn about the infinite possibilities of music from them and their instructors. It seemed like their knowledge of music and instruments had become just a job.
When renting a violin be prepared to purchase the moment you go to a full size otherwise you loose all credit built up over the years. Such a RIP off
