Cathedral City: Overview of the top 20 music shops

Sound Hub just finished mastering our full length album remotely. We were not able to get in the studio due to covid but these guys nailed it!!! Frank took our mix and got it louder, wider and fatter! It was also sick knowing that they used a full hardware mastering chain! Thanks guys!

Whether you want to jam with your band or record an album, Sound Hub should be your first stop. Frank and James are seriously good guys and have built themselves a legit studio complete with digital and analog recording equipment and a bevy of musical instruments. They also have access to top-notch mixing and mastering companies.

But aside from all of this goodness, the team at Sound Hub are passionate about their craft and they are as much vested in your experience as you are. I cannot recommend them enough. These dudes have become family.

The Sound Hub is awesome! I went there to track and produce a band and we got it sounding so amazing. These guys get it and have the gear and technique to prove it. I could not believe how awesome their vintage gear selection was and for me this is a must in order to produce a timeless sounding record. The guys are also very passionate, down to earth and cool to work with. Highly recommended… check them out!

Chandler is fantastic! This store is now a Music & Arts and she says they are getting lots of inventory within a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to see it then!

Excellent staff Is very nice helped me with everything the prices are better than guitar center……. simply loved it

Excellent service, vast knowledge of music, staff very knowledgeable and day pleasant, bilingual expert in all areas of music and instruments, it’s great to see this kind of professionalism in this day and age. Thank you for your help and guidance. OHK

Totally cool!! I highly recommend that you stop by this shop! awesome place! Go check it out!!

Amazing store full of wonderful things. The volunteer I met was one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met and I won’t forget him or this place as they’ll forever be a memory of California

Awesome place to stop into if you’re a local or a tourist! Jason helped us, way cool guy, my honey chatted him up while I looked around at all the neat stuff! Palm Springs needs more unique store like this, go and support it cause the stuff in there is way cool!

Store is messy and the photo shown on Google map is pretty much a lie. don’t have a lot of selection of shirts as in the photo.

Never again. Limited selection, difficult to browse and very overpriced. $20 for a Al Stewart album, ridiculous.

Maybe if they at least showed they’re closed when they’re showin they’re open I would say something positive. Wack as hell

I purchased a Carly Simon album from here, when I got home and played it it was not even Carly Simon singing!!! It was some man singing the songs from her album. I even checked the album sleeve and the record itself and it says Carly Simon on it. Very disappointed and customer service was not great.

Went in on holidays and found a good selection along with vape juice. Recommended.

Very personable service, good selection, knowledgeable.

Great little store with lots of variety of products. I am a vape user and get my mods, juices and coils there. Owner Rami runs the shop and is friendly and earnestly cares to give customers what they want and need. Huge selection of cigars! Now they are selling CBD and other Cannabis products!

Owner does not stand behind product
I even bought upon his suggestion
He got my money once
Never again nor the way to build a business

Limited selection, and high prices. They only had 3 flavors to choose from on their unwashed hookah tobacco. I asked the employee how much they were, and he told me what he “thought” they cost. Of course when I get to the register I’m charged 33 percent higher than what he had told me. The most i have ever paid for the exact same product anywhere. I will not be back.

Update After Owner Response:
After reading the owner’s response to my previous review, I have decided to downgrade from 2 stars to 1. I cannot believe that the owner is justifying how his store misleads customers on prices. If your employees are unable to remember all of your prices, then perhaps you should just put prices on your products – like every single honest and professional business does. Furthermore, the owner can say that he sells items at a “good price”, however, $3.99 for a small credit card sized box of tobacco is high. This is evident by the fact that several other shops in the valley sell the exact same product for $2.99 or less. Lastly, I pose a question to all potential customers who are reading this review… Why is it that the vast majority of this business’ 5 star reviews are from phantom accounts with no other reviews besides the ones for this business?? Perhaps this business owner is as honest with his online marketing practices as he is with his in-store practices…

Had cigarettes delivered. The extra fees were ridiculous and then they have the nerve to expect a tip. Bad business.

First time!! Amazing the inventory

Excellent service love to go every week

It’s got all you need. The people that work there are great, always wanting to help you in anyway that they can.

Interesting selection of used items. New budget furnishings also available. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Muy bien atendido y ordenado

Well set out store, however some of the price tags need a rethink. Poor selection of vinyl records, which is a shame as it would really compliment what they offer.

I have spent thousands and donated $1000.’s Personal Contact means a lot and today after dropping off an allotment of Fisher Price Vintage Collectables and Lionel congressional train and the girls set with newly purchased tracks, they would amount to well over $2500.00 worth of donations, $7500. through online sales. I never was offered help to unload this merchandise and was never able to receive personal interactions, a woman yelled across the warehouse thanks just leave it. Well if this is the treatment I am to receive to help DAP, then bye bye. DAP can help themselves my donations will now make way to AngelView locations. I will no longer spend my hard earned money to support DAP ever again

Very nice management, but they allow some very loud, rude, harassing, offensive customers harass others, and do not ask them to leave.

Crazy high prices for a second hand store. A book for 15-20 bucks? No thanks. It’s 2 or three at the competitors

Exceptional customer service by Tony. He is one of the best sales people I have met in a long time, he is very friendly and has a wonderful personality. Was very helpful and great sense of humour. Will definitely be back.

Amazing staff for sure, always fun, make everything easy, they are quite knowledgeable for the products that they sell, is a fun, safe, discreet spot, i wish they just have tap or debit card slide system to turn the screens on without taking away the dollar eater and have a few stations with sanitizer or antibacterial and paper towels to wipe down the seats. Im not saying that the place is not clean. Not all! Just as a double measure like in the gyms. Other than that great customer service, knowleagble and friendly crew.

Absolutely a great place to shop always clean.and easy to shop.location is everything at this place

Nice place to go to to get any musical thing you need.

Always a fun place to visit. I could stay for hours. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. The store is easy to find and there is plenty of free parking. Although this store is small compared to others, there is a very good selection of instruments and accessories. Thanks

Nice little place. People there make you feel welcome

Friendly and fun environment, smal guitar selection.

Helpful, friendly and well stocked music store

Staff seems friendly enough. There’s always a great selection with really great buys. Although it is smaller than most GC’s I’ve been to. Besides, it’s the only one out here. Give it go! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Three Stars here.

worst guitar center in the entire world…. customer service is the worst…

Too muchbto explain but the service there sucked imo

Has to be the most unfriendly store. I tired to purchase a new guitar and the sales associate and guitar tech made that impossible. I ended up driving to San Bernardino and made my $1100.00 purchase without being talked down to or disrespected.
I don’t know who the manager of that store is, I know they have real problems.

I am impressed! Everything is so organized and I especially loved Diego! Easy to talk to and I absolutely love how friendly he is. Very splendid place!

Too friendly, too efficient. What the hell is everyone else talking about. Drink just how we like it. Thanks

I always enjoy going to Starbucks I don’t go with often as I used to but it’s always a pleasant experience especially when you go to your neighborhood store

Always good

Usually spot on, wrong drink this morning…

It’s Starbucks. Servers were polite. Coffee was hot.

I love Starbucks and frequent it regularly. This location served the WORSE coffee I’ve ever had in my entire life. Coffee was extremely bitter and tasted like it was burnt. Usually what I expect from one of my favorite coffee chains!

throw my straws harder next time *sarcastic voice* (:

Good coffee but staff not friendly. I asked 2 male employees for the code to use the restroom and both were acting like they didn’t hear me when I know they did. And yes, I spoke loud enough. So I asked the young lady (my third time) and she was kind enough to answer. Thumbs up for the young lady and thumbs down to the 2 gents. Very rude.

Customer service is horrible. They won’t answer the phone and none of the products actually come from LA outback, they are drop shipped from a different company. I had to get ahold of world percussion USA to get a tracking number. Also I just found the same exact didgeridoo on amazon for $35 compared to their price of $57. The products themselves are really good quality though. But I’m not giving LA outback credit for the quality because they don’t make them.

Best vape shop in town, extremely helpful, great customer service.

Allen and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They always have everything I need. All the glassware you can think of. CPP products. Incense. And a large supply of Vape juices. It’s the only smoke shop I go to in the valley.

Really nice place They have a lot of inventory and cool stuff to look at definitely a good place to stop by and check out Cashier was super cool and nice

Friendly service and good stock at reasonable prices.

Dude was not helpful at all. After not carrying the MG in salt nic that I was looking for he lied to me telling me what I was looking for was illegal in cali. I’m trying to cut back from 25mg. I went to 20 now 18. This dude was trying to sell me 35mg and lied about me being able to get a lower dose other places. I got it right down the street at a new place that was very clean and friendly and said his customers always complain about cat city smoke shop.

Stopped by to get a vape and the worker asked if I wanted to try it to make sure everything is good. Tried it and it tasted awful. Keep in mind I’ve had the same flavor before. As soon as I mention there’s a defect the crooked owner comes up to me saying it’s not their problem ONLY if “it didn’t work”. He then proceeds to tell me he’ll exchange it for a small fee. No way I was going to spend another dollar here. I won’t ever come here again. I don’t recommend this establishment. UPDATE to his response. He proves how crooked he is by making it seem like it wasn’t a defect. I tried it before and tasted like it should. Not this time. Keep lying to your customers dude!

I would not recommend this place nor go ever again! Not a person who does reviews, just bought a vape and he couldn’t exchange it after it stopped working after a couple hits. While I was waiting this elderly women was buying gummies she was looking for THC products and the man was just lying to her saying it was thc which it wasn’t! To top it off he sold them to her at a price of $110! This place is a joke

One of my favorite GW’s

Always clean organized great employees very helpful funny to be around

Great selection; color-coded. Super nice staff

It’s small. Friendly staff, not too much to see.

Cool place man.

15 percent off Tuesday’s over 55. N0 return policy on electronics just an exchange. Just strange for a company that gets all their merchandise for free.Goodwill donates to no one.

Very disappointed with Goodwill and there pricing lately. Read my Rancho Mirage and La Quinta reviews. Seems like there goal with the local Goodwills here is to open a location on El Paseo in Palm Desert to cover there rent. WAY WAY becoming overpriced for a thrift store. We are going into the holiday season and feel sorry and wonder where auctually the less fortunate people are going to purchase there items. Maybe Walmart since its cheaper there it seems. Hoping someone would like to consider opening a real thrift store in the area and not a greedy chain like Goodwill. I’m no longer supporting or donating to the Goodwills here and I will tell others about Goodwills practice here as well. Even if your a fortunate person step inside and just take a moment and think how it’s possible for a needy person to buy anything here. Where are the roots of Goodwill nowadays. I prefer to hand out directly instead of donating to a greedy foundation I’ll have a better sense that I’m actually helping someone instead of once relying on a place like our local Goodwills here to help the less fortunate.

Terrible service from the donation area service guy tonight. He did not want to unload several items and just said no to everything so he wouls not have to open the doors and unload 3 items.
He was a poor example of what Goodwill is all about. I have donated many items for the last 10 years and never had such a bad experience.
It is time to donate to another cause.

They have a lot of items and the store is clean. It would be extremely helpful if they were two size clothes so that you didn’t have to go through every single item to see if it is your size.

But I Don’t Know Why everytime I go look for a color that’s supposed to be 50% off but you never have that color will you do but it’s not to my liking

Great selection of clothes, DVD, and purses

We recently bought a Condo in Palm Springs and wanted to donate furniture and other household items to a worthy organization. Other stores would not pick-up from a second story and/or did not accept some items we wanted to donate.

Angel View was fantastic as far as customer service was concerned. The drivers showed up on time, were courteous and informative. So nice that we continued to request the same 2 men, Kai and Eric, for subsequent pick-ups. They didn’t usually take certain items, but after seeing the quality of what we were donating, they were happy to.

We’ve also found several accessory items at their Cathedral City store to decorate our Condo with.

A very worthwhile charity and we recommend it highly!!

Got lots of thing in good condition for 30$ from football quip…to Adam family special theatre musical addishion Fram and pick!!..

Dirty little place. Everything is kind organized by sections. But it needs more cleaning and more organized areas.

Found a good pillow! Their prices on curtains are way too much for a “set” that’s USED. $14 per panel is too excessive for considering this is what I got.

It was just ok

Hi,

First of all I just want to thank Dan in the retail administration end of all this. My personal experience was aweful at this location. I purchased an electronic item that I was informed had a 7 day return policy. The item did not hold a charge so I brought it back 4 days after purchase. When I walked in there was no one at the register and no one acknowledging the fact that I even walked in. Secondly the Manager Alex approached me very rudely asking if I had the same debit card used to make the purchase. I did have it. Then he looked at the item and said ” you paid 14.99 for that.” The item is a black and Decker electric squeegee vacuum. So now to add insult to injury I felt like maybe I hadn’t gotten as good of a deal as I thought. Then I took my debit card out and simply asked since it was a pin verified sale if I could please just get the cash back. And he said ” you know what you are being rude you can just wait for the other manager.” And walked away. Leaving me very upset at the register. So I walked into the administration building next door and the guy at the front desk was even more rude. He said they don’t deal with retail problems and said he would give me the phone number to Donna Snell and that I needed to take the call outside. That I couldn’t make the phone call in the lobby. Talk about an experience from hell. Then I sat waiting for Steven the store manager and apparently he was already back but no one informed him I was still waiting for him. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Steven did show up and he did take care of me. Thank you Steven.

Went in with my own reusable bags was getting alot of stuff and was stoped while still in store by management and workers accused of stealing was completely embarrassing and they were rude as can be sad thing was my suv was pilled full of stuff i was gonna donated thank god with workers like that and such high prices i was happt i donated some where else

Buen servicio……….y muy amables personas

Not a music store anymore
