A great selection of pianos and the salesperson was very knowledgeable about all of the pianos. We did find a piano and purchased it that day.
Recently bought a old and rather battered piano from the section of the store way in the back (hah). I love the thing! I felt it was a great deal and the gentleman that sold it to me was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Delivery was a cinch–they were willing to coordinate schedules with me with no problems at all. My daughter and I couldn’t be happier.
I bought an Artist Yamaha C6 Concert Grand from currrent Piano Network owners Matt & Larry Waldhoff, which I love and still play every weekend at the Possum Trot Supper Club Danville, Il. I purchased it about 20 years ago when they were with Samuels. Fortunately they asked me over 2 years ago to help represent Piano Network a great new store in Champaign. I am proud to work for them,Yamaha, Allen Organs, and represent and offer these World Class instruments.
5. Younger Than Yesterday
Address: 2615 N University St, Peoria, IL 61604 , Bellevue , Illinois , United States
I go here all the time and find some records you can’t find at many other places, love coming to this store!
Soooo many records, tapes, cds and collectibles. Incense, and i love it.
We make this gem a must visit each summer when we come through Peoria.
My only complaint is that their new vinyl is very overpriced. Great selection of used stuff though.
If you want to be surrounded with enough vinal to side your house this is the place. They got it all, seriously they got it all. If you love music, you’ll love this place.
When in for a few thing,z talked to a few people , great place to go ton,z of music
Lots of oldies rock if that is your thing. Prices way too high.
Good selection of records. Giving two stars because was on the gander for a nice Outkast record & the owner says he doesn’t carry hip hop records to “keep those type of people out”. Very gross & tasteless comment.
. Totally made us feel unwelcome. He has TONS of stuff. We made a purchase but will never go back to the overpriced elitist
A wonderful Sunday afternoon with 3 talented musicians, playing the songs I grew to love growing up. Great variety, excellent harmonies, gifted players. Waited too long to see them. I’ll definitely keep track of when they are performing next. Thanks, guys.
A delightful trio playing and singing songs which are familiar to those of us with at least a touch of gray hair.
10. Ribbon Records
Address: 641 W Main St, Peoria, IL 61606 , Bellevue , Illinois , United States
Lot of cool vintage clothing and records! I always find something cool here like this cookie jar!
What an awesome store! Very helpful staff, got me completely on the road to a proper turntable setup. Combined with the quantity of records, along with other items such as books and clothing, this store is a place you can get lost in for hours!
Large variety of records at a very good ride.
I live the local record store. But I got to admit. The staff was helpful for sure. But the selection is very limited. Prices are a little higher than other local stores. The organization of the records could be a little more updated. But otherwise a really cool retro local spot. Defiantly worth checking out.
Great place, nice selection.
Nice place with decent prices but records have no grading labels.
11. Carl’s Pro Band
Address: 1806 Empire Street Service Rd, Bloomington, IL 61704 , Bellevue , Illinois , United States
Carl and Travis are two of the midwest’s premier repair technicians. They are extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I travel 3 hours one-way for maintenance on my horns because they drastically outperform all of the technicians in my local area. As long as they are in business, I will be a customer of theirs.
Clear, fast, and kind service.
Always helpful and pleasant! Top notch instruments and repair quality.
Very knowledgeable very friendly. They treat us beginners with the same respect concert veterans
Super helpful and upfront with tactful explanation of options for the work needing done
Just stoped to have a quick lunch! Food was great and at a affordable price! Had my horseshoe in 10 mins. Most of all the place is spotless! Bar maid never stoped cleaning and washing! This is not the same as this building was back in the 90’s. Great spot for a ride and a beer or stop for a few and a meal! I will be back many times now I’m sure!

Been here several times and food is always usually very good. From the portobello fries to the corn nuggets to the chicken tenders. I haven’t eaten anything I haven’t liked yet.
Lots of good seating, good service

14. Black Balloon Studio
Address: 4916 N Renwood Ave, Peoria, IL 61614 , Bellevue , Illinois , United States
Opened on time. Good service. Knowledgeable salesman.
I take guitars lessons there
I have to say I really liked The Music Shoppe! An excellent store.
I finally visited the shop to get a couple boxes of guitar strings. I just didn’t feel like ordering online. I want to see merchandise in-person!
Wonderful, friendly staff in the store. Great instrument selections.
The store was bigger than I thought, a pleasant surprise.
Make yourself feel good, check out an instrument for yourself, live…. talk to staff about what you’re looking for. Sorry, but I love these “real” businesses.
Nice place to check out instruments. Staff was friendly.
It’s a great store ,good selection of drums and cymbals unfortunately 2 people who work here believe that they are extremely talented musicians who are above you and speak down to you like you’re trash. I will say it’s only 2 of the employees but it seems like they’re here constantly . I came in wanting to spend $1500 on symbols but I Was helped by one of these individuals who basically pointed his finger at me and said do you need anything as he was walking by me, so I took my money somewhere else.
But the store is a good place and you should shop here.
They’re expensive, the cables and accessories they sell will usually cost nearly twice in price, just go on reverb or guitarcenter and order online instead. Saving customers money. The place is fairly quiet for a music shop and they have great service and employees though, I just wouldn’t suggest buying any accessories or equipment stuff like cables for electric instruments.
Us as parents made a mistake about payments on my son’s sax so they did what there Right was and got it back so we went in and bought one from them paid it full out that same day we bought it they informed the music teacher to take it they were picking it up the following Friday so my son had it removed from him in front of his classmates just before his Christmas concert he was crushed at something he was looking forward in doing
we had receipt for sax which we paid cash for so with them doing this my son no longer wants to do band or music just because the people at the music shop if I could give them negative 5 star I would who would tell a music teacher to take away a sax that was paid for from a child for no reason at all I hope u go out of business?
17. Warehouse Recording Studios
Address: 203 Persimmon St, Peoria, IL 61602 , Bellevue , Illinois , United States
I love this music store! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. It has a nice selection of sheet music, books and accessories. Instrument selection is good for a small store. You feel like you are part of the family when you shop or take lessons here! 🙂
The owner is so kind. He helped me fix my guitar cheaply and did the service work for free. Couldn’t ask for kinder service. Will definitely start taking lessons at Miller music.
Been coming here for 18+ years! Loyal. I will not go elsewhere. If they don’t have what you need, they can and will help you to find it. Best music shop around! A+ customer service.
They appear to no longer be in business.
I took my niece to Miller Music to see about having an issue fixed with her flute. The guy working looked at it for a few seconds and said he didn’t notice any issues (leaks) visible to the eye. I then asked if it would be okay for her to play the instrument for him so that he could listen, and hopefully make a diagnosis that way. He responded with, “Yeah, hurry up.” Needless to say, the instrument is still having an issue. When we purchased the couple of instruments we have, he was polite. Now that there’s an issue, “Mr. Nice Guy” left the building. I’d never recommend anyone to buy anything else from them again.
The owners were rude and condescending. I got the impression that not EVERYONE was welcome in their store. They may have a large selection of music, but I’ll take my money and my dignity to other music stores.
Simply call to find out the brand of acoustic guitars they sold when I mentioned name brands the lady was set off very rude on the phone and hung up on me her name was Sharon
19. LuhRapper Lonely Bandz
Address: 1914 W Lincoln Ave, Peoria, IL 61605 , Bellevue , Illinois , United States
Great store for all electronic needs and more. Staff is informative and helpful.
Great experience! Total nerd here, lol. Great selection of products, awesome display models, clean store. Overall great staff!
Not what it used to be. About half the laptops and computers on display are sold out in store and online. Sales reps weren’t very thrilled to be asked questions.
It’s Best Buy what else is there to say.
Good selection but staff brushed me off
Bought a Zagg screen protector for note 8, fell off phone 20 days later. The screen protector hit the ground and broke. Tried to return to best buy, service rep. stated I would have to send it to manufacturer. I tried to explain it was a faulty install and that is why it fell off, he didn’t care. You would think that if you just spent 1000.00 on a phone, case, and screen protector they would try a little harder to help. Too bad Sherman’s does not sell phones.
Litterally worst phone services for individual stores has a robot that’s designed to not put anyone on the line
They have zero customer service. The entire visit and the follow-up have been a big hassle.
