The place for all Mexican Regional Instruments and Repairs. Pro Musicians to serve musicians and those still trying to decide wether music is for them of not.
Un buen lugar para los músicos bueno bonito y barato
Great.
They are a legit local spot. Had everything we needed for our Jr. High students band requirements. A good selection of instruments
Straight up great spot for anything you need. Very good prices and lots of inventory of much needed gear. Instruments plentiful to choose from.
Okay place. $2 dollars extra if you don’t wanna make the trip to guitar center.
GHS bajo quinto strings are too expensive ($29.99). I know other places where i can get them Cheaper but kind of far. At La Casa del Musico off 1st ST and State they have them for $17.00 and at Sebastian’s Music for $15.00.
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.
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
2. Sounds of Music
Address: 4945 Whittier Blvd, East Los Angeles, CA 90022 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
This shop is a hidden gem. I needed some CDs & cassettes after purchasing an older vehicle & found exactly what I needed here w the help of the very knowledge ( & friendly ) Mario. This place is so organized, it was easy to look through for specific artists n genres. Loved the Spanish section n even picked up a few Banda El Recodo cds & cassettes. Even found a 2007 warp tour set list. Honestly, I’m looking forward to coming back to add to my collection for my new whip. They also had car /music accessories, clothing, stickers, pins, de Todo. Super dope shop, would recommend comin in & checking it out if you’re in the area or looking for a quality set up
Liked the vinyl prices & selections
If you can’t find it anywhere then this may be your place. Great staff, great music…all genres…all styles…vinyls, CD’s, and more. Let them know who sent you there…Enjoy fam…
This place is closed down now but it was a cool little shop
They have a wide selection of Music in the people are nice
Good selection of oldies snd hard to find music.

4. DJ Band Supply
Address: 5125 Telegraph Rd, East Los Angeles, CA 90022 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
Great service, fast shipment, and super helpful! Also has an amazing cat in the store. Highly recommend! The owner was super friendly!
So far so good. I always passed this place but never thought to stop by for whatever reason. Finally the time came where I needed some dual trs-same cables. All the nearest Guitar Centers were out of stock & same situation with Sam Ash. I didn’t want to order online & wait so I called this place and they had them in stock for a better price. I will shop again some time.
Great service
Good
Cool spot
Could not use several of the decks they rented to me. But the real issue is they stacked the decks too high in the truck and didn’t strap them in. So because they insisted it would be fine, we reloaded the truck the same way. When they fell and destroyed my property inside the truck, I was told “we normally strap these down. Must have been a panicked stop” as if this makes it my fault. Oh that’s right… you should never brake while transporting stuff. I wonder what OSHA would think of their warehouse and the way they load trucks…
Ordered a Mackie mixing board from their website because they had it for $30 cheaper than anywhere else. Got confirmation my order was received and that they’d norify me when it ships. After a few days with no shiping confirm, I logged into their site to see if I could find out what’s happening with my order. The status showed it was canceled. So I called them and asked why it was canceled. They said it was out of stock. So I went back to their website and looked up the same product. It was listed as in stock and they had raised the price.
They obviously didn’t want to sell it for the lower price so they canceled my order and lied to me about why. The lower price wasn’t drastically lower, and any honest merchant would have honored it.
Overpriced
5. The Grinde Recording Studio
Address: 921 Goodrich Blvd, East Los Angeles, CA 90022 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
We just bought our first violin there, I saw many pics of artist that they get their instruments there! We are looking forward to buy our 2nd violin
went to purchase some guitar acoustic guitar strings and asked about the guitar services restring my guitar. I would recommend this place.
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
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 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.
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
Terrible service. Needs to work on their customer service skills. I do not recommend.
7. La Casa Del Musico
Address: 1900 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90033 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
Great store with lots of rare equipment, fair prices, and a very friendly owner. It was easy to find street parking on a weekday. The stock varies all the time, so come here willing to be surprised.
Cool vintage gear. Eric and Ian were very knowledgeable and friendly.
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
vintage guitars / instruments, records and music paraphenalia
This place has got a cool vibe, a nice selection of vintage amps and you cant beat the customer service. But I think prices are a bit on the high side and that brings the rating down. Just my opinion.
11. The Compound Recording Studio
Address: 749 S Atlantic Blvd, East Los Angeles, CA 90022 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
I have been here a number of times with various projects. Andrew is not only a profession but he is a master of his craft. I highly encourage everyone to check out this recording studio. The sound it gets in here was perfect. You won’t be disappointed.
12. Guitar Center
Address: 3000 Market Pl Dr, Monterey Park, CA 91755 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
Very friendly staff, pro audio section seems light compared to other locations though
Ez shopping Not forced to choose what you want after answering questions on their scope of knowledge..
Previous I had giving this place 5 stars. However, several times I have called and no one answers and when I left messages for Nadine the Lessons Lead/Manager no one gave them to her. I enrolled my daughter in drums class and she was super nice at the time of enrollment and even said that she would contact me with plenty of time before her class ended to see how she liked it, how she was doing and if I wanted to continue her enrollment – lied, she was never around and never called and on the contrary I called several times and even the other drum/piano insteuctor (Robert I believe is his name) left a written note to contact me, he said or at least someone would contact me. I was contacted the Saturday evening by Nadine in a not so nice tone about the instructor not being back and being his last day and I HAD ALREADY BEEN CHARGED!! That was very inconsistent with what she said originally!. I heard from her, several times before enrolling my daughter BUT NOT ONCE during or before I WAS CHARGED AGAIN. We missed the first class because I had a tooth extracted and if you ever know about that you feel awful, and I left a message and they said they would give to her and ALL SHE SAID WAS WELL I’M SORRY, OUR POLICY IS 24 HRS IN ADVANCE AND I NEVER GOT THE MESSAGE! SERIOUSLY! That is terrible customer service if you ask me! Just terrible AND FROM A LEAD/MANAGER! I always used to go there, never again. Why be so friendly at the beginning to get customers to then so rude and not get business again.
Staff is not very helpful, very little knowledge of products and loss of passion for the arts. Maybe one person knows their stuff while the rest of the team is clueless. Guitar Center is not like it use to be back in the days. It’s turning into a Home Depot style service… yeah you will eventually find someone to help you but then they will have very little knowledge about how they can help you solve your issue.
Parking is horrible hard to find the place . Costco idiots can’t drive. Had to chase down a guitar chord. Never go back.
13. Sams music audio
Address: 1111 E 11th St, Los Angeles, CA 90021 , East Los Angeles , California , United States
Esta tienda en Los Ángeles está súper completa la atención es inmediata en todo el sur de California desde San Diego y asta sacramento ni encontré unos bajos JBL más que en esta tienda
Me atendió JESÚS una persona exente u estoy muy contento con mis bajos los cuales no me defraudaron conforme lo que yo esperaba que dieran
All the musical instruments you need. Great service!
First visit to IHOMI yesterday. Great selection, prices, and service.
Above average music store with emphasis on guitars and accessories. Reasonable prices and good service. Large selection of guitars.
Service was friendly, it was nice to see a good selection of instruments
Not have pedal section , only BOSS brands . Not a good service , beautiful store
Muy mal servicio hace 3 meses deje unos audífonos para que consiguieran la garantía se la fábrica y ni los nuevos ni los dañados me han devuelto es un mal lugar es pésimo aparte de que venden muy caro.
The worse place to shop. Extremely overpriced. La Gente compran porque hablan español pero Les cobran lo triple. If they do not have an item or have never heard of it, they will tell you to your face that it doesn’t exist. Like others have said, look for a Sam Ash, guitar center or online.
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
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.
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……
