This is a fantastic guitar store that’s been in business since 1969. The service and selection of acoustic and electric guitars, amps, and accessories are all excellent. I’ve purchased guitars here, had guitars serviced, and have attended concerts here. The latest concert I attended was with the great Peter Asher. What a memorable night! The sales people are musicians and they’ll help guide you with proper questions and information to make sure you make the right choices. When I wanted to purchase my Martin HD28, Rick helped me make the right choice. That was several years ago and the guitar just keeps sounding better and better.
Great place for lessons, shopping and repairs. You won’t find a better staff of people anywhere else.
I can’t applaud these guys/this shop enough! I had a lefty Gretsch that needed some tricky repair work done, and Rich/Kevin went above and beyond to troubleshoot and locate the issue. Got it back good as new! I’ve found myself a new shop for any future servicing needs! Icing on the cake was the pricing rate for their service was beyond reasonable! Thanks very much guys! – Albert 🙂
Im lefty handed
Dropped off guitar on 11/3 – estimated day of completion 11/6. So it’s been roughly three weeks since I dropped off my acoustic guitar for what they said would be a simple 1″ crack repair, that the majority of the repair would be from the inside and that the top would not need any work.
“We’re working on your guitar in between other guitar repairs, but we’re not going to charge you”. WTF man! What kind of business are they running?
Went to pick up my guitar last week. Sure enough, they jacked up my guitar in the process of trying to repair it. This sucks!! Why couldnt they have been honest from the beginning. They have offered to replace it with a same model and I accepted the offer.
Early December – waiting on guitar. The manager claims it wil take up to 8 weeks for Godin/S&P to ship one from Canada. 8 weeks?
January – I have yet to receive a call with an update on the ETA of my replacement.
February – Still no call back from the manager. This is complete BS. DO NOT TRUST!
very bad services! not honest
Misposted hours of operation – it’s very disappointing
Me gustó mucho la ambientación y el trato del personal.
Super cool record shop. You walk in and it has a very warm rock and roll vibe to it. All the employees are super cool and welcoming also. Definitely come here for your favorite records.
Great selection of records and merch…plus staff is genuinly koo!
been goin, still goin, keep goin…
Fugazi
Nice store. Kinda a limited selection. Almost entirely 60s 70s R&R.
Nice little shop, not a huge vinyl selection, but i found some good buys
Not much variety
Went for record store day and they barely ordered enough records to satisfy the line they had before opening. I went in asking for the 4 different records which they told me they only ordered 40 or 10 copies of on the busiest day of the year! Then I went to the used vinyl section, for a record store was very lackluster. This is basically a tshirt store considering how big their shirt collection was compared to their vinyl collection.

what a surprise!! a neat little store with a great collection
This place is a gem tucked away in a corner. They have records that are super rare and a huge diversity of genres.
The people who work at the West Covina record store are beyond friendly! We try and buy every time we go because they are so friendly. We absolutely love this location!
Nice atmosphere
It was ok it’s just what you expect from a record store there’s a way better one in all ways shapes and form..it’s down citrus near A 711 and a gas station…..1million times better ,.I’m just being honest….

My son and daughter takes voice lessons here and they both are doing great!
Our kids have been taking lessons here for about 9 months (piano and guitar). We had shopped around a little and found that this studio fit our needs the best and they accommodated our request which was for their lessons to be at the same time. Our kids say they love their instructors, Diana (piano) and Rene (guitar) that they are very kind and encouraging and challenging. The best way to communicate with the main contact for getting started is via email. The only thing we don’t love is that for some reason the drum lessons are not in a room and in an open air style room so if you’re there the same time as a drum lesson it’s kind of a drag. The prices are comparable to the other music lessons we had shopped in the area.
I’ve called many times and gone by, it’s always closed and no call backs ♀️

5 star experience from start to finish! Tom is a great host. Will definitely be back.
Cool place! I liked the studio! The paintings on the walls really ad to the atmosphere and the rooms are nice for practicing. Tom is a very personable guy He is the owner and a killer bassist to boot
Tom who works there or is the owner is very patient very accommodating
Wow! Talk about a nugget!
I had almost lost faith in places like this. With the onslaught of software, hardware, &
“everything else in between” ware, I didnt think Organic Music had a home in Covina.
This would be the perfect alternative for traveling to
Santa Fe springs, Pico Rivera,
Norwalk, Hollywood, L.A. proper.
Actually book rehearsal near home, who knew?!
I’ll be back, thank you guys!
my first time there. But it good, the rooms are large.
Good people.
Trying to book a room and they just leave me on read. Great way to get business.
Small studio with about 5 rooms, room E is really small not more then 3 people fit in there. The guy who owns it is not professional at all, we called to book a room around 4:30pm (they open at 4pm) he told us he was booked for the time we wanted and to call back to book cause he wasn’t there yet and he doesn’t know what was available. We have booked in the past for 4:30pm and he wasn’t even there. We had to call him and ask why they were still closed, he told us he forget he booked someone and didn’t get there till 5pm. All around there is always something extra to happen anytime we have to book here.

Long time distributor for my retail store. Good quality products and service.
The owner is incredibly rude and has no sense of customer service. You are better dealing with other wholesale distributors in the area who have great customer service and better pricing.
Friendly staff and service. Place has nice selection of Guns, ammo, accessories and Knives of interest.
Best place in the Inland Empire or LA County to do a PPT. Quick and easy, in and out in Las than 30 minutes!
The staff at Alamo Pawn are amazing! They are nice, very patient and don’t pressure you into buying anything. I’ve been to Turner’s down the street and the staff are very rude, not friendly and very impatient. Alamo has pretty much everything you are looking for and the prices very fair!
DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS!
Watch out for these shady people who work here.
They absolutely straight up lied to me.
You go to buy something and they’ll tell you something is on layaway after you go to pay for it.
LIARS!!! GO TO ANY OTHER PAWN SHOP.
What a typical bunch of crooks.
Please read Mr. MANGANA
Never had any issues till today went for a loan and got insulted by the amount wow I was like really dude. Then the attitude after was wow man I was nice about until you said go look for yourself in fact I was doing that the whole time in there. I don’t care if one employee quit or got fired. Then another on vacation don’t take it out on the customer rule 1 if you would repeat business. Low balling for a loan. I always pick up my loans but I guess mangana was overwhelmed
Edited
1 loan out of 3 weren’t paid and it was a shotgun I’m pretty sure you got your money back. The other one which was paid was my ps4 and also my TV was pawn there too so 52 % doesn’t add up to 3 things for a loan. Since we are trying elude the subject of bad customer service I get banned for a honest opinion of this pawn shops. Since the owners feelings got hurt and since they had no way supposedly knowing it was that left this but I get banned. Hahaha come on is grade school or a business. The rest of the staff is cool as hell. Trust me I will continue to spend the word about this place and it’s butt hurt owner. Look for my yelp review to .
I would like to know how do you think %52 is the right numbers for 2 out of 3 loans where paid off. Lol I don’t know but those numbers don’t add up. Dude grow up and let your man parts drop because your acting like a child that gets mad being called names
Chaos in here , they take people that just walk in over you. Its like you have to fight to get their attention. And I was coming to pick up a piece that I had purchased already. Horrible customer service, will never return.

Extremely good deals free guitar with purchase of lessons
Best price than any other for repairs. It cost me 40 dollars in other places to repair a violin and I only paid $8 here. Just have to be patient, Don’t go if you are in a hurry.
Really good deal on my son’s instrument. The staff was helpful and polite. The instrument was also delivered to the store location within the time frame that was stated, everywhere else has been delayed.
Cool little music store that offers a small selection of keyboards bass guitars electric and acoustic guitars as well as orchestra and band instruments.
This Glendora Ca. store was condensed with easy to view merchandise, polite staff. Some real bargains in written music. Fast easy shop.
About 5 years ago I brought a recorder in and asked for a thumb rest for it. Instead of ordering the $5 removable factory thumb rest which was made for that model, they installed an ill-fitting 3rd-party metal thumb rest with screws that are so long that they protrude inside the barrel, so that if the thumb rest were ever removed, it would leave holes in the barrel. Worse, they charged me $65 for this junky little metal piece and the 5 minutes of labor to install it. When I complained, they blew me off.
I will never go back there.
I see that they’ve been acquired by Music & Arts, which resulted in a name change, but it sounds like it’s still the same folks running the store, so my review will stand.
I had a flute and a piccolo repaired here. They didn’t do a good job. My piccolo was given back to me with hot glue strands hanging off of it and a small wooden piece wedged into a pad. When I complained about the piccolo, they simply clipped of the glue strands and handed it back. It was clear that they would not be able to make it better. I had to take the instruments to another shop to have them rerepaired. I won’t be back.
The customer service I received at this store was fine given the circumstances. The review is for my overall experience ordering from Music and Arts.
I ordered two items that, according to the order page, were supposed to be shipped to this store and ready for pick up within 2-7 days. One item was ready the next day, but it took 3 weeks for the rest of my order to arrive. When I went to pick my order up, the first item was present, but the second item was not in its packaging. I waited three weeks for an empty bag.
If I had known that it would have taken three weeks to be disappointed, I would have rather have taken five minutes to look in the mirror.
It was a productive visit. A young lady was very helpful and assisted me with what I needed. I didn’t get her name. She gets a 5 star rating for customer service.
I like shopping at Wal-Mart BUT the one on Azusa is the WORST!!
I even left a full cart and walked out!!! They only had 1 CASHIER and the line was all the way back to the kids dept. Every time I go there there’s ALWAYS just 1 or 2 cashiers. Not a good store. I do LOVE WALMART very much just not the one on Azusa
The only reason I’m giving this Walmart 3 stars is because most of the employees are kool… However this location never stays stock in a few departments, if they are they hardly ever have what I’m looking for, and its been over 7mo now since they’ve ordered new Ciggs they don’t have any of the popular ciggs, no Vaps, no lighter fluid, and always shortage of bic lighters!
Always out of stuff we go for come on reg t and kids shirts short sleeve are not seasonal items.
You could almost buy anything at Walmart .
Customer Service is terrible. Return clerk questioned the prices I paid, and wondered why they were so high, had to verify them in their system. It’s very challenging for them to process online returns, they were going back and forth with my receipts and calling other clerks that were also clueless on what to do.
I am so mad…. my wife had to wait almost 15 minutes in the formula section just to get some one to help …. there is no excuse, it was at 9 o’clock in the am. Hope you guys can improve that asap
I hate that I’m paying extra to save time with scan and go and they always have the scan and go self check out isles closed especially why late at night before closing when they condense all the lines into only one or two registers. You shouldn’t have to close the automatic self serve checkout lanes so early to pull the money or any reason those systems are more accurate and faster than any hands on checker and you have the ability to move people at a higher ratio with fewer employees. At other stores i have been to or at one other near by store I’ve gone to they do the exact opposite of this store and they go to all self checkout as so that the other employees can closeout at night. Saving time and being more efficient. I think that the management needs to employ it’s modern practices more and make the store more efficient. The new technologies are here to help everyone and there is no excuse today for long lines at check out. I find myself more times just driving five or ten minutes to a faster store or the other faster Walmart only because of the check out times and lines.

My daughter bent her clarinet. Gabriel Law made the immediate exchange very easy and without question. In a few minutes I was on my way with a beautiful new instrument in hand. The store is clean and friendly and excels at service.
Music and Arts Center is a wonderful place! The customer service was great. I’m starting to teach piano, and Rosemary was especially helpful in getting me the books I needed and giving me suggestions and tips. I definitely recommend this store for everyone!
Love going to this shop. The staffs are always friendly and ready to help. My daughters are in their first year of music class and the teachers gave them a list of items to get. I don’t have a clue what most of them are. Staffs are always ready to help. The best part is that I’m always in and out because they know exactly what to look.
Thanks a bunch!
Was recommended this store by my music teacher. Great store that sells anything you can think of music related. Music & Arts had one employee the day I went in to get a practice book for saxophone, and they were most helpful. Very friendly, and helped me find exactly what I needed. It may not have the same inventory as some of the bigger music stores in the area, but I would definitely recommend Music & Arts if you need something music related.
12:28 pm, Sunday. The teachers and students are waiting for the shop to open.
Do they have cellos?
Please come when you want to lose money with auto-charge. they cancel my son’s drum class and cancel the account without lesson credit back. Very bad experience about auto-charge. And very bad experience on Customer service.

I have been learning piano here for 2 months. The teacher is so nice and encouraging meanwhile knows how to push me to progress in a good way. As an adult beginning learner, I am really enjoying playing piano here.
A professional teacher knows what he is doing, highly recommended.
