I found Monkton while searching for a Nash Telecaster locally. I emailed the shop to let them know what I was after. The owner was kind enough to email me photos of the guitar before I drove out the next day. I picked it up, strummed it twice, and knew I was taking it home. Easy.
The shop is clean, organized, and fully stocked with guitars of all levels and prices. The staff was polite and helpful and made sure I had a quick and easy experience shopping with them. While it’s a little further out than I’d normally like to go, I’ll definitely be coming up with reasons to drive to Broomfield to shop with them.
Thanks again for the killer deal! I’ll be back soon!
Small shop with an excellent selection of new and vintage guitars. No pressure from the knowledgable and friendly staff. I have bought two guitars there within a week, and I clearly need to ration my visits.
Monkton is awesome! David is exceptional and the communication was second to none. Great store, great products, great people. A++
great place to try and buy, they know their stuff and are super nice and willing to help you find what you’re looking for. they have great recommendations and will let you play whatever for however long. very cheap for repairs and guitar work, much cheaper than other places. got my frets leveled/crowned and it sounds fantastic, however they did kind of gauge/scratch the neck on several frets. sucks, but not a huge deal as it’s not a high end guitar and the price was right ($60). again, sounds great but i would be weary of bringing a higher end model in as they weren’t very careful about taping off the neck to avoid cosmetic damage.
Best shop around!
do not take your guitars here for repair! simple jobs will end up being 2 hours in labor charges. they will take your working guitar and send you home with a non-working guitar. they will mix up the wiring on the pots. they will give you pots too large so your knobs have a huge gap underneath. unbelievably unprofessional and incapable.
EDIT: The business response is not a fair respresentation. First guitar, volume pots wired backwards. Second guitar, repair only lasted the car ride home. Second fix only lasted the next car ride home. Third fix, incorrect tone mapping and too large of pots. Every single trip a problem. Why would I go back?

I loved the service given there. Always has a great attitude and a very comfortable feeling. I also loved the room where your given the option to play whatever instrument is available to play and mouthpiece is also available. Overall a wonder person and great place to be
The people at RMMR are awesome. We had a vintage guitar that we brought in their recently for repair and the turn around time was amazing. The price was good too. We are selling this guitar and they were nice enough to chat with me about what we should expect to get for it when selling privately. I would definitely return here.
Nice people, but if it’s not a brass instrument, forget it.
I was originally disappointed in sub-par work, but I’m pleased with the final outcome. The tech who made the mistakes no longer works there and the owner made things right in a jiffy. I give the business proper credit and thanks for that.
I paid for repairs to two trombones including a slide job—tricky work on my antique King Liberty 2B. Pandemic issues prevented me from testing at pick-up, but the tech showed me the results at the counter. Cosmetic dent repairs weren’t as good as I’d hoped, but I let that go. The slide dragged hard and remained very noisy, but the tech assured me it was perfect and only appeared suspicious because he’d just stripped it clean. “It’s perfect; I promise.” It was an hour before closing on the eve of a long holiday and my family was waiting in the car, so I accepted the excuse, took the horns, and left.
When I broke out that horn months later, it was unplayable. The slide was still totally dented, the new end stops pushed out the slide so far that the lock had to be loosened to the verge of falling off to hold it shut, and the extra length made it play flat with the tuning slide fully closed.
I discovered this late Friday night before a Saturday gig where I’d planned to use it, and I left a 1-star review lamenting that I’d trusted that tech and neglected to test it sooner, and that I was sunk since they’d just closed for the weekend.
To my shock, the owner called me first thing Saturday morning and offered to make it right. He fixed it and returned it to me in time for the gig that afternoon.
I wrote that I’d update the review if they made it right. They did, I did, and I think we’re all happy now.
I will definitely give them my business again—especially since the tech who made the mistakes is no longer on the payroll.
Terrible establishment. Extremely unfriendly, unknowledgeable staff and very over-priced.

They replaced my the motherboard of my Korg Kronos, excellent service and friendly staff. Highly recommend them, very thorough in communication and updates on the repair process, and fair prices.
Great service at a great price thank you guys I appreciate everything you do for me.
They fixed my gear and provided excellent customer service!!!!
Our company has recently had an absolutely terrible experience with Craig at Music Gear MD.
I would highly recommend against using their company for repairs. They ordered the wrong parts initially, delayed the repair, installed the parts so poorly our client complained, forgot to return the unit’s power supply, and had absolutely no resolve to make things right with us. When when we tried to discuss it with them, they became unprofessionally defensive, abrasive, and unreasonable.
This is all after they had promised to help and not following through—clearly deceptive and misleading business practices and not caring about their clientele or reputation.
If we weren’t burned so badly, and hadn’t been insulted by them and their unprofessionalism, I wouldn’t leave this review. We’re not beyond making amends, but they have not made any effort to do so.

Solohub has been a great experience! My daughter absolutely loves her music teacher Michael, and I love the great prices and flexible hours. Jeff is great to work with and definitely runs a 5 star business. My daughter has discovered a passion that makes her glow and I believe it is from the great experience at Solohub. Thank you Michael and Jeff you are appreciated.
Mike is an amazing guitar instructor! He is so great at teaching young kids in a way that they can understand. My 9 year old son has been there for over a year and absolutely loves it. We highly recommend Sollohub Music!
My daughter absolutely loves going to her guitar lessons with Mike!
5. Davinci Center For Musical Arts
Address: 555 Alter St Suite A-G, Broomfield, CO 80020 , Broomfield , Colorado , United States
For the last 3 years, DaVinci Center for Musical Arts has such a special place in my family’s heart! We started with Piano Playtime when my son was 5. He loved having his own keyboard and watching him move to the rhythm of the music was cute. Brilliant for little ones to get wiggles out while starting to understand musical movements. The foundation of piano was done in such a fun, creative way. Next, we moved to private lessons online. My son still felt connected and enjoyed the online Musical performances. He was thrilled at choosing songs of his interest and composing his own! We were so impressed with the sharp musical skills of the teacher, that my husband started taking online lessons. Recently, we have been able to experience playing at the studio. Great facility with many different styles of pianos to choose from. There is not enough space for me to write how impressed and thankful we are for DaVinci! From their thoughtfulness towards each individual, games, prizes, performance parties to the guidance & instruction classes for parents.
My 3 children have been taking piano lessons at the Davinci Center for Musical Arts for 5 years now. The teachers are top-quality, patient, and caring. There are many opportunities for the children to perform and grow as musicians. The learn not only how to read music, but also how to compose music of their own. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
My daughter is learning violin and piano here. All the instructors are very talented. There are many studios with different pianos, all of which are good quality and well maintained. Bobby and Danielle are very patient with my five year old and fun to work with.

We had my daughters birthday party here and my daughter absolutely had a great time and loved it!! The staff was amazing and very helpful!! They helped us decorate and set everything up. Thank you guys for making sure she had a great birthday
What do we, as parents of a Globalsound student, LOVE about Globalsound Studio (in no particular order)?
1. Endless opportunities! Our daughter started out in private piano/keyboard lessons, enrolled in vocal lessons, has played solo showcases, joined the Academy of Rock bands and is now in an all-girl continuing band of 10 – 13 year olds who perform throughout the Denver-Metro area – just like a real rock band!
2. Personal development! Our daughter has developed so much more confidence in herself through lessons and performances. She’s learned to control her stress and overcome nervousness as she performs in front of hundreds of people.
3. Musical education! She’s learned to read music and to listen and play by ear! She’s learning the difference between her head voice and her chest voice. She’s learning to sing and play the piano/keyboard with emotion!
4. Professional music instructors! Her instructors understand her strengths and weaknesses; challenge her; insist she practices; and encourage her to step out of her comfort zone! All the instruction is tailored to her individual needs and musical preference and all styles of music are taught! Our daughter has performed everything from Beethoven to Katy Perry to AC/DC!
5. Community Involvement! Globalsound supports our school though a partnership with the PTO! They DJ dances, have the Academy of Rock Bands play at special events, and donate goods and services for fundraisers!
6. Family owned and operated! The owner, Lydia Fiore, and her two sons are incredible! Lydia has always been available to discuss our daughter’s wants and needs. She worked directly with us and the instructors to figure out what was best for our daughter to get the most out of her vocal/keys lessons!
7. Performance hall! I love that they have the large party hall, dance floor and stage. It’s a great area for the student showcases, parties and more.
8. Fun and Engaging Lessons! The lessons are fun and engaging and not the boring, old-school lessons I had! She is always excited to go to lessons and to return home to show us what she learned.
9. Real results! Our daughter has learned so much over the last few years we have had her enrolled at Globalsound. She’s set and achieved goals and has learned and grown as a musician!
I have not goes there yet but it sounds fun and there is a private room for birthdays
Whoever was driving the “Company Van” today needs to be fired.

My sons took piano lessons from Angie Branch for over a decade. The Music Education Center is great!
If you are an adult student looking for a skilled and patient teacher, Angie is the one. She will help you to establish and work toward your goals (not her goals). Whether you want to entertain others or simply enjoy your own music privately she tailors her lessons accordingly. She will always have something encouraging to say about your progress. Her studio is bright and welcoming.
My sons have been taking various lessons through Music Education for over 12 years. We started with the piano when my older son was 5, then the younger also played. The older went on to guitar and the younger went on to drums and continues to take both drums and piano from Wilson and Angie. They are both so kind and patient and know how to make it fun and interesting at the beginning and keep it challenging as they progress. We will miss them as my younger son heads to college next year (Music Business major)!
