This is as much an eye candy gallery as it is a guitar shop. Even non-players will enjoy stopping in to see the amazing selection here. It really is like an art gallery. And the staff is so great – the most friendly guitar shop I’ve ever been in. I bought my Suhr here and it was perfectly set up. The buying process was zero pressure. Highly recommend Danville Music.
I absolutely love this place. The customer service is fantastic – everyone there is willing to talk with you about gear or anything else. They serviced my J Bass after another local shop screwed it up pretty badly with a truss rod adjustment. Great communication on the repair and my bass came back like it was brand new. Highly recommend.
Great music store. Helpful staff. Excellent music teachers on staff. ‘Nuf said!
I rented an clarinet with an agreement to use the rental credit towards the purchase of instrument . The shop did honor the agreement and rater quoted higher price to cover up the rental credit

My daughter takes voice lessons and my son takes guitar lessons at Reeder Music Academy. I am extremely happy!
My daughter has been taking her guitar lessons at Reeder since past 2 years, and she is very happy with her progress. Teachers are very nice and patient, she loves to go back there. Highly recommend.
Reeder is an amazing music school. My older kids’s guitar teacher Ray H and my younger kid’s piano teacher Stella are excellent not just at teaching the instrumens, but at motivating the kids and making it fun at the same time. We would highly recommend Reeder for anyone looking to explore a passion for music and fun fun doing it!
36 years ago I got my first Model 6 Charvel. Over the years the frets have gotten worn. Langley leveled, crowned, polished, and set up two guitars. The action, is amazingly low with no buzz. Wish I’d done this long ago
Langley is awesome! Under most circumstances I work on my own guitars unless it’s something I am not comfortable doing, usually higher difficulty neck or fret work. I brought in a new Hofner contemporary 500/1 Beatle bass for some odd fret buzzing on the G string to another luthier who I used to take my instruments to (who never remembered me after 7 guitars and kind of overcharged after a while) and couldn’t resolve my issue. I found ToneZone on Yelp and since I live nearby I thought I would take a chance because of the reviews. I left the Hofner with Langley who also couldn’t deduce the odd buzzing issue on the G string but he recommended changing the offending string. I changed the string and the odd buzzing stopped (yay) however I discovered a high fret around #13 and contacted Langley again. He responded by sending my his notes on my bass outlining uneven fret issues for the whole neck. I knew I’d found the right guy. I ended up bringing him my Hofner again plus a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass that has the truss rod adjustment on the body side rather than at the headstock (which is a real pain to access). The Hofner no longer buzzes and plays like a dream plus the Geddy Lee J plays like it did when it was new 15 years ago. He told me he would set it up according the Fender factory specs and that is what is feels like again. I will be taking all of my guitars to Langley in the future to keep everything in excellent playing shape. Thanks for the excellent work!
Langley is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to guitars. His passion and talent for repairing them is clearly visible, and he is very good at letting you know exactly what state your guitar is in and where he can help fix it. He’s kind, gentle and professional. He even insisted on not charging me because according to him, my guitar needed minimal fine tuning! He did a great job fine tuning it regardless and my guitar sounds so much cleaner. Overall, a very satisfactory repair/fine tune. I look forward to working with him more in the future.

My daughter learned at a quicker pace than she had a other music school. She loved the fun and creative environment. Thanks Jane
This music school has very talented teachers who love their craft and teach their students to do the same. I highly recommend this School to anyone who wants to improve their musical talents and have fun while doing it :)!
I’ve been coming here for weekly guitar lessons for almost two years and have enjoyed each experience. Jane is a true professional, with a mesmerizing soul and a richness of history and talent that’s inspiring and keep me coming back for more. In looking for a teacher, I was looking for someone who would champion me on my journey, nourish and believe in my own talents. Someone who would stretch me and help me explore my sound. I’ve found all of that with Jane. As a working and traveling professional, I appreciate her flexibility in providing both in-person and virtual options. Look forward to continuing to jam with you!

10. Guitar Center
Address: 1280 Willow Pass Rd STE A, Concord, CA 94520 , Blackhawk , California , United States
Good selection of musical instruments and a friendly and helpful staff. Couldn’t find the exact model I was looking for but nonetheless left the shop with a good alternative
They have EVERYTHING!
Great service
Had to wait in line outside, I was 6th.just needed to return. Once let in it was quick and easy process.
Small guitar center location. Decent sized piano room, and synth area. Never crowded, and most items I have looked for are typically in stock.
Seems cleaned up but they were closing so idk
Called ahead and was told to hurry in for guitar restring. Arrived and the tech was ‘on a breaker that he never returned from 30 minutes later. Then were told there were 3 people ahead of us so he wouldn’t be able to see us anyway. Maybe this is an example of why they are in bankruptcy now, in addition to Covid.
Pro audio had 1 guy. Customers were waiting I was waiting to buy something finally I got frustrated and left bought elsewhere
Horrible customer service, or lack there of! Wanted to get a record player, ask the guy about the differences and he said I don’t know. Went to check the system if they had more in stock, disappeared for 5-10min, came back and said he had to write a check. Never will come back here again. Get some better guys who know music and WANT to work there.
11. School of Rock
Address: 460 Montgomery St, San Ramon, CA 94583 , Blackhawk , California , United States
My son has been playing piano for 3 years and just started at SOR about 6 months ago. He’s very talented and I was afraid he’d stop playing piano because he did not enjoy studying classical music. Now at SOR, he is so happy and he is thriving. He looks forward to rehearsing and looks forward to practicing at home as well. We also put our younger son in SOR to learn guitar and he’s loving his lessons and Rock 101 as well. This summer, I have put all 3 of my kids in SOR camps- they’re all so excited.
I love school of rock, as a long time drummer it was amazing to learn from here. The teachers are very flexible, if you show them a song or ask them a question they’ll immediately start teaching you about it. This was eye opening for me. Most places just force you to play piece after piece with almost no student choice. Would highly recommend to almost any musician.
The School of Rock is all my son ever wanted in a school! It caters to his musical interests, challenges him, provides opportunity for connections -and most importantly, it offers a place where all involved create a sense of belonging.
