Tim was really nice to hold a guitar for us. We drove 12 hours to get to the place. The guitar was more than we expected. Thank you
I went to Music Go Round looking for a starter Ukulele for my daughter. Steve helped me that day. They had a rainbow of choices to choose from. He had a perfect pink one for her that she loves. I myself am not a musician, so shopping in a music store can be intimidating. He was helpful to answer my questions on a day when it seemed to be busy in the store. The store was clean and organized.
I’ve been a customer here since it opened over 10 years ago, and I’ve yet to have anything but a great experience. Most of my music gear that isn’t either borrowed or bought from the Internet was purchased here. They always have a variety of new things coming in at very reasonable prices, from guitars to amplifiers to congas to almost anything you could imagine. It also doesn’t hurt that the staff is always knowledgeable and friendly, especially Tim and Geo. You can see many of them around town playing music or doing sound for local shows, which helps you know that they’re really into what they do as opposed to just having a random job for money. If I could give a six star review, I would.
Very helpful and good prices

Online order
Ordered a Jackson at a great price, used. Shipping took a little while (about a week and a half, I guess I’m just used to crazy fast shipping speeds like amazon. Felt like a lifetime. I’m in NY so it’s completely understandable )
Guitar looks great. There are some very very slight nicks and dings (as to be expected with a used guitar, however it would be nice to have the imperfections highlighted in a picture or two). Guitar is full functional and has no mechanical problems; however it did not come with the whammy bar. Not a big deal at all, they are only a few dollars. It would have been nice to have that listed in the description though so I could have had one ordered before the guitar got here. Again, not a big deal at all.
Overall very happy with the guitar and will be ordering more from them in the future. Thanks guys. Wish I was closer and could come check out the rest of your stuff in person!
No acknowledgement, waiting for someone to help and no one ever came. No one said I’ll be right with you. Was there to purchase a good guitar. I suppose the other people wasting time and talking their ear off was more important. All we heard was “thanks for coming in” as we walked out empty handed.
Sorry won’t be doing anymore business I sold my practically new guitar barely used like really barely only got $30 including carrying case like really. You are still making profit off of it and the bag. I guarantee you will sell it for $80 not including bag.
Overpriced used music store better off at a real pawn shop, they try to rob you if you sell to them and if you buy from them.

Sells harmonicas and everything guitars, plus more instruments.
Nice store, good selection with helpful staff. Quick efficient service!! I will return often with a mask of course.
great customer service
very knowledgeable and friendly
A fairly basic music shop. I buy reeds and little accessories for my sax – it does the job. Sometimes they’re out of stock, but that’s to be expected. Guitar-wise, they have enough. Instrument-wise, it’s a pretty basic selection. Good prices, but you get what you pay for. Lots of beginner Yamaha, nothing outstanding. Decent selection of music. The current person fronting the store is helpful and friendly, but doesn’t go out of their way for the customer, in my experience. That is definitely something that sets apart a good shop from a great one, so there’s that. Overall though, it’s a place that will do.
As of August 2019
Mr. C’s in no longer here, it’s now Clancy’s Music
I had a wonderful experience here and I recommend it for your instrumental needs, great prices, great customer service, thank you Clancy Ferril for all your help.
I’ll give the store the benefit of the doubt. It’s a new store and the guy who runs it is knowledgeable and nice. The selection isn’t vast but the prices are fair. Has a grand opening coming up soon with reps from Ibanez and others. Hopefully that helps him stock up!
I can’t speak highly enough of the quality of the zampona I received from the maker Ramos. I’m sure all the makers are of high quality if you choose a different one. I found the front lower row challenging to get a sound at first but after a little practice the sound came. Best of luck to everyone and thank you so much to the makers of the zampona and the pan flute store. My quenacho from them is also of really nice quality and interesting/challenging to learn. Also, the soft cases that come with them are really beautiful and would easily cost $15+ if purchased separately. Thank you thank you

Address: 9163 E Stockton Blvd #310, Elk Grove, CA 95624 , August , California , United States
Super nice folks. Was looking for band instruments (bass clarinet, reeds, tenor sax), and they didn’t have much of a selection, but lots of cool used inexpensive clarinets, flutes, trombones, and the like. But like everyone else, they mostly do guitars and drums.
Chris, the employee I was in contact with, was most helpful towards me. I was attempting to purchase a couple of items from this location of Music Go Round. And — though I was asking many questions — Chris was there to answer each question of mine with honesty and fullness. Further, he provided more pictures of the items I was looking at, examined and described the items to me over the phone, and over-all he was so kind and helpful towards me. Considering his effort and the effort of other employees at this store, I highly recommend this location of Music Go Round!
Often have unique &/or rare items with good prices. I always buy in-store to play & assess it in Stockton or the new Elk Grove, California. Old ukulele, old mandolin, 7/8 size 12-fret CE acoustic guitar, 12-string acoustic with low action. These are axes I never see at other stores.
Cool place. Most things look to he in ok shape. A little high on prices for used gear but hey they have to make enough to stay open
Nice guitar. Fast service and shipping. Thanks!
Nice store with plenty of selection
2 times aI buy online
2 times I had to call and after telling me the guitar is being put in the back for shipping and telling me how nice the guitar looks they canceled my order so ether the employee decide to keep my guitar for him self or decide to big fat sell them to some one after he lie about getting it ready for shipping for me !
Im supper mad at this liars hope they go out of business!
I purchased a casio keyboard for my son birthday last month! The keyboard did not last a month! Very disappointed it stopped working! I went into the store to let them know what happened and all they can say is sorry! Don’t ever purchase anything from them..
Called to get shipping price on an amp and was told that they don’t like to ship amps and it’s in store pick up only. Really??? You won’t hear Sam Ash or Guitar Center say that. They are happy to ship and take my money.

Friendly service! My go to spot for guitar strings moving forward.
Thanks for the guitar! Wish I got his name, but the guy working was so nice and knowledgeable. He taught me some about guitar and harmonica. I didn’t feel rushed at all and he still managed to help everyone else in the store while giving me more than fair info about my new guitar!
I’ve known the owner for many years. I bought an amp and he beat the best on-line price for the same product. So happy to do business local like that.
Great owner….great place…..excellent information….
Friendly and fast service

Excellent stock and people who know about it.. Very helpful. Brett has magic fingers for your guitars. He’s very knowledgeable and service minded ! Need to adjust your guitar? Go see Brett!
Great help, wonderful girl helped us with keyboard stands, cant remember her name , enid or something like that.
These are my guys right here I drove way from another city actually into another county to go here I got previous stuff here these guys are the coolest guys in the world they’re very helpful you know most of the stores now look like they’re going out of business but these guys man I got my stuff in two or three days they ordered it for me right there at the counter everything was good and I’m definitely going to go back
Friendly staff, a little pushy on the extras, which is the reason for the 4 stars but overall a great experience. They have a ton of selection and the staff is knowledgeable
One of the workers Josh is a very cooperative person and very honest on all of my purchases. He is straight with you and will give you information about what he personally uses and why
Knowledgeble staff but nome of the DJ Equipment was hooked up. Bad form
More like a ukulele shack
Too loud Inside
7. Foggy Mountain Music
Address: 104 W Main St, Grass Valley, CA 95945 , August , California , United States
Bought my daughter a guitar for her bday,the guys there are very cool and great customer service,kudos too Mary Ellen as she’s owned foggy mountain alot of years,I consider a friend,great business
The historical downtown area and the fact this store been there for 40 years lead me to believe that this woman could be trusted with a violin that had been in my girl friend family for over 4 generations , we took it in to have it restrung and cleaned up and this was all that was said ! Long story short this business owner sold our violin with out our permission, we went in to her story friday to confront her and when she made eye contact she turned around and danm near ran out the back of the store jumped in her car and didnt even brake when she hit the dip in between the parking lot behind the store and the street! This woman robbed us has been avoiding us and on top of this wonderful musical experience she’s running her mouth and being rude as she doing it! We have talk to a layer and are pressing charges!
Great local music store. Love this place
While it may seem like a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, the store offers a plethora of instruments and other musical paraphernalia. Music lessons also offered!
Lots of quality products and good service
Great guitar lessons. Great deals, they price match guitar center too! My son got a gorgeous electric guitar for Christmas to upgrade from his child-sized Ibanez, and the customer service was great.
Yeah not too sure about that place I feel robbed every time I go in there, yeah of course there’s a lot of good stuff there but overall there wasn’t a chance for no stars they can have one I guess
Over priced
Absolutely terrible service. POOR selection of instrument strings (they never buy them) They’ve fired their most charismatic workers. The owner/”manager” will ignore you if she’s on the phone. Had an amp in there for six months that was more broken when I got it back, than when I brought it in, due to their “guitar tech” Steve. Worst music store in North California, if I could give zero stars I would.
