Noel was really friendly and helpful! He replaced a string on my requinto on the spot and the price was more than reasonable. This will definitely be my go-to place for any restringing I may need in the future.

Very nice people I found the harmonica I’m starting to learn they had what I wanted
Buen servicio y buen precio
Aunque le falta un poco de organización
Se viera mucho mejor cosmeticamente
Boyle Heights, home of the Mariachi!
Great store! If you are looking for the first guitar for your child – then this is the place to go! Perfectly fits her little arms and hands [she is 7; they have a variety of sizes]. This is a REAL GUITAR – and guess what?!??! It is cheaper than a toy guitar from ToysRus. I can’t get over the quality…it comes with a zero fret. This store has a reputation for quality instruments. They delivered!
En mercancía encontre lo q necesitaba, desgraciadamente la atención es pesima le dan mas atención al cel antes q al cliente.
Nice place.
2. Candelas Guitars
Address: 2724 E Cesar E Chavez Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90033 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
Beautiful old world craftsmanship with kind customer service. Highly recommended!
You will never find better work than through Candelas. From Loretta in the front to Thomas with his care, work and engery put into the instruments to Kenneth with his amazing approach to teaching. This place is a historic landmark. When you get your instrument worked on here, you know it will last. Please support Candelas as well as it’s Non Profit- Candelas Music Art Foundation
Grate work, my guitar never sounded better, not cheep but worth every cent, Gracias Juan. bendiciones.
The directions to Candelas Guitar on Ceasar Chavez in ELA was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, TAKING THE FREEWAY LITERALLY TOOK YOU THE LONNNG/WRONG WAY .. THE BEST WAY TO GO WAS AND IS TO TAKE THE STREETS…
I want to go there, we are distant relitives, i am Frank de Carro and Delores Rea’s grand daughter, i knew 9f tio Candelas we (i must have been 5-6) went to visit mi tio and mi tia at their beutiful house that had a back porch the over looked a beutiful cliffside. We stayed a week, that is when i lernt that mi tio had made “micky mouse’s first guitar” . Someday i told myself i shuld stop by and say hello. Nice for the great , informational articales on your site ,cant wait to meet my family, someday
I just had the inductor switched on my wah by Eli at Guitar Center’s repair center and let me just say that it’s a brand new wah. Great work, excellent communication, and will work with you if you need a repair or mod in a hurry.
Terrible service. Needs to work on their customer service skills. I do not recommend.
viaje dos horas para comprar una guitarra, no se si tuve mala suerte hoy, pero había una señora atendiendo que no me permitió probar ni ver su selección de guitarras que tienen, solo me permitió probar unas de la más baja calidad, y ella parada al par mío, q no me dejó sentir cómodo, me habían dicho de una variedad mayor, y precios variados, las que me mostró eran de $500 y pregunté si había de más valor y me dijo que no, aún cuando yo podía ver atraves de la puerta que había muchas más colgadas en la pared, la señora no se mostró nada amigable, hoy ordenaré una guitarra por zzound donde compro mis instrumentos electrónicos, con bastante actitud para dar toda la información que uno necesite, muy decepcionado de este lugar

Es pequeña pero te lleva de regreso a unos bonitos tiempos.
Great couple of kids that don’t miknd helping an older timer like me find my favorite records!! Good prices too!!
I’ve always wondered if there were any record stores in the Boyle Heights / East LA area and sure enough, it is. Right as I’m walking towards the Gold Line, I seen records out front for sale and then of course I go inside, there’s a section full of them. From Cumbia, Tejano, Spanish Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, 45’s, you name it. They also have some mixers, few books, and a lot of other vintage technology that’s pretty cool. Good pitstop if you need some records to listen to
Small store but a great selection and they have tapes! Well priced and in a awesome location in LA. You can buy some music and either walk to Shakeys pizza or Guisados. A hungry mans dream.
DJ’d an event that took place in the back! Had a great time!
Went to an event here with my kids, but they were people drinking and smoking pot.
Poor selección
Your shipping services are horrible this is 2nd time it take more than a month to get a album don’t buy here unless you at the store won’t recommend to have albums shipped to you out of state
4. Songbird Ocarinas
Address: 2751 E 11th St, Los Angeles, CA 90023 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
Perfectly in tune ocarinas. This is a beautiful little space in the shadow of the old Sears building in East Los Angeles. Helpful, reliable staff and crazy good talent! Definitely worth the trip.
The place for ocarinas! Durian is amazing, and just wait until you see the selection.
Bought my fiancee some wedding gifts from here. We live in louisiana and they got here in two days flat. He hasn’t taken his seed pod necklace off.
5. Inner Realm Rocks!
Address: 3130 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90063 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
Jesus was wonderful. I felt very comfortable expressing my creativity in the studio. Very knowledgeable in his field, was great through the whole process. Such a good vibe all the way around!! So grateful for Decibel Studios.
My group Las CHORIZERAS recorded our first EP at Decibel studios this year and we had an amazing experience! The gear is top notch, the sound is incredible & Chuy is super professional & sweet! Gracias Decibel! Can’t wait to do more!
I highly recommend Decibel Studios! Jesus is an absolute pleasure to work with and he consistently creates a welcoming environment. The studio’s gear is top-notch, ensuring the highest quality recordings.
8. Royal Rehearsal
Address: 1946 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90033 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
Royal Rehearsal is the perfect place for musicians, producers and creators. Helpful staff, clean facilities, gated parking. With multiple locations, it was easy to find one within easy driving distance. A+
YoungWest Recordings located within…. Chillest Atmosphere in Town.
I’ve been renting a lockout room and everything its been great, AC, Security, staff, its comfortable, wifi, easy access to load in and out your stuff, easy payment system, easy parking, they keep upgrading this place for a comfortable and easy development of producers, musicians, bands, etc.
They have a lot of options of rooms based on sizes and design.
Highly recommended!
Good place to shed and friendly staff….pricing is also nice and they keep the place up as well.
9. Rosales Organ Builders Inc
Address: 3036 E Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90023 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
Really great place to try out gear and experiment with different guitars & amps. Eric & Rob are super friendly and helpful. large selection of records and vintage synths, decent pedal collection. Brought in a guitar that I modified and John (guitar tech) was able to take my modifications and improve on it, set it up really nice, and improved the action & intonation on my old beauty significantly. repeat customer for sure. New location is big and super clean. free street parking!!
Excellent helpful folk….
Very nice selection of unique guitars and amps. Owner was very pleasant to deal with.
vintage guitars / instruments, records and music paraphenalia
Not a crazy selection of music, but good enough for 20 mins of browsing. They do have a good collection of 2nd hand electric guitars and amps
Cool place
15. Sams music audio
Address: 1111 E 11th St, Los Angeles, CA 90021 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
Great place.. Bought my first violin there and plan on buying brass instruments in the future(does anyone know how much a 3 piston tuba is here)
This place is amazing! The employees are very kind and very thoughtful. I recommend this place !
They are a legit local spot. Had everything we needed for our Jr. High students band requirements. A good selection of instruments
Okay place. $2 dollars extra if you don’t wanna make the trip to guitar center.
Muy buena tienda con muchísimos instrumentos de dónde escoger, aquí en Olvera Music fue donde compré mi primer Bajó Quintó muy buen servicio al cliente me aprobaron para un crédito. Yo soy cliente de la tienda ya por 3 años tal ves más por recomendación de un primo que e compro su primer acordeón aquí.Hace dos meses mas oh menos lleve haber si me podían arreglar mi bajo quinto que ahí había comprado hace 3 años , lo primero que me dijo el señor Luthier por llamarlo así fue no ya cómprate otro nuevo mejor este ya no sirve . Y de ahí siguió mirándolo y lo único que decía no es que ya no se puede hacer nada ,bueno tal ves si si le pongo esto y el otro pero no te aseguró que te valla a quedar bien. Yo respeto su punto de vista pero lo que no me gusto y no es nada profesional fue el no ya no tiene arreglo cómprate otro mejor te cobraría $150 pero sin garantía de que quede arreglado. En pocas palabras este señor no quiso arreglármelo ,para eso está el para arreglar instrumentos. Lo lleve a otro lugar y rápido me lo arreglaron sin andar quejándose . Por último le pedí dos huesos para el puente y me los vendía en 40 dólares por los dos no se pasen y no los compre se me hizo un precio ridiculo cuando los ordenó por 10 dólares por dos huesos pero yo porque los ocupaba rápido. Otra cosas ya van varias ocasiones que quiero comprar los clavijeros para el bajo quinto y me salen con unos usados en una bolsa ziplock y me dicen que son nuevos. .
Buenas noches Tengo una pregunta, el volumen de mi bajo es ta fallando arreglan eso ahí?
Legendary, lmao, they try and rip people off on buying equipment, they don’t have a lot of necessary cables, service sucks, don’t come here if you’re looking to get ripped off or to waste time
I remember getting my violin strings fixed (because they were messed up from the order) when I received it the strings weren’t tuned nor not even fixed. Waited at least weeks to get it back and yet they weren’t fixed. The reason I know is because my uncle who actually knows fixing instruments (which I should have gone to from the start) said that they did a terrible job fixing them and how they weren’t tightened enough. Spent too much money to get let down. So if you’re getting your instrument fixed here don’t.

Address: 2515 E Cesar E Chavez Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90033 , Boyle Heights , California , United States
I’ve never been in this shop, but I’ve seen their work via social media and the guys clearly know what they’re doing. I’ve visited several shops in South Florida, the attention to detail coming from this one is well above average.
There aren’t enough Music Instrument Healers in this world anymore. Keep it up!
No muy bien la razon es muy caro todo
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM i wish i could rate no stars…. the offer FALSE ADVERTISEMENT & VERY, VERY, VERY,VERY, VERY POOR COMUNACATION!!!! BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK……
There are no guitars here anymore. It’s become a rip off dj store. Good place to avoid because there are way better dj stores in the area at better prices.
