See Chris, he’s extremely helpful and knowledgeable!
Very helpful staff was able to guide me right to the different snare heads needed making it a quick and easy stop!
Every single time I come here it’s nothing but problems. Being misled by an employee on a price of an instrument. After calling the day before getting one price, to going there getting another price, and then her calling back and giving me yet another price. To finally I had to just sign up for something because I was told they didn’t have any available. Was told today they have books and now they don’t have any available.. They basically couldn’t tell me when or where they could get another. I highly suggest going to another store.
*update*- the owner took care of all of my issues and is addressing the problem. Nice to see people still care!
Selections ok but lacks depth if you follow… staff is okay but not engaging at all.
This place will go the way of the rock shop if they keep treating customers like suspects.
It was not like this at the Stevenson location.

Thanks for all the help!!! Will be back!!! If you have questions about guitars or related items they have the answer!!! WCAetc
Mark is very knowledgeable and resourceful. He has fixed a number of pieces of equipment for my DJ service over the years, Music Source Professional Disc Jockey Service. He does so in a timely manner and within a reasonable price too.
He’s got a shop full of equipment for musicians and does professional sound support for bands as well, which I’ve heard him do on a number of occasions and does so very well.
So no matter what your need he should be your first and probably only call.
Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
Took the specific info with us, bass guitar make and model, and he ordered a case for delivery by Christmas. It came in and it wasn’t nearly the size needed. He implied that the fact we got the wrong case is our fault. Hmmmm. Not a good experience.
Expected better with all the, “Mark knows his stuff reviews.”
Showed up at 10am on a Friday when shop was supposed to open. Doors were locked and no one showed up while we waited. I suggest you call ahead to make sure they are actually open during the times they say they are.
7. Capital City Music
Address: 3700 Wabash Ave, Springfield, IL 62711 , Grandview , Illinois , United States
Searching for music lessons outside of school day environ, the store keeps a national list of piano, guitar and violin instructors. They also repair owned items and source replacement parts.
This is my favorite music store in Springfield. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of guitars, basses, effects, amps, and other miscellaneous gear. Probably the largest left handed stock as well. (still small but not bad)
I’ve been going to Capital City Music for years, and have never been let down.
Going to get my guitar that i bought used there to get it fixed i assumed they would have fixed any imperfections before they put it on a shelf for purchase
Great music shoppe with a great and large selection of guitars!!!
Very limited selection of music, they have lots of guitars and pianos, though.
The guest experience was alright, but after going in, and returning my item the staff took my return and assured me it was completed, I left and enjoyed the day, more than a week later and I have discovered the staff I talked to must have processed my return improperly since I have never received my refund on my bank statement and when I tried to call in to get the situation corrected I was told they could not find my transaction. Edit… The owner has personally reached out to me and has worked to correct the situation.
went to get my guitar set up and it came back out of tune, disappointed to say the least, reading other reviews it appears the staff might need more technical experience or organization
I am giving two stars because Matt Waldhoff took the time to speak with us in the store. Other than that, I’m not impressed. We were going to consign an expensive Clavinova with them. Upon looking at the contract emailed to us they wanted 40% of the price it sold for, which was satisfactory with us. What was not satisfactory was even thought they only charged $100 to pick-up the clavinova it appeared from the contract they wanted $100 to deliver it to the new owners. Also, they would take no responsibility for any damage that may occur to the unit while it was in their hands. As we had questions regarding that contract we contacted Matt Waldhoff two times via email, asking him to clarify certain aspects of the contract. He never responded back so I assumed they did not want our business. I ended up selling the clavinova on my own and kept the 40% they would otherwise have received. It is inexcusable to not return emails to clarify a contract and I can only assume he took offense that we had questions regarding a contract where they took the profit, but absolutely no responsibility for damage.
Ignored from the time I walked into the store until I left.Walked a circle throughout looking for help only to find employees chatting it up. Both looked up at me and quickly turned away and continued talking to each other. Will never get my business.

Very friendly service, clean and organized store-just what you want in a used record store!
Great store, with good selection, especially on the used vinyl, fairly priced and typically in great condition. Friendly staff, and friendly cat.
Super cool record store!
Nice little arcade in the back of the store 5 bucks and play all games for free as long as you want I got my 5 bucks worth!
The center of a subculture Utopia. All for the love of music. Friendly people, I hope to see it grow and flourish.
Really cool little record store in Springfield! I came to town to see a show they were putting on after hours and stopped in beforehand to kill some time while the bands were setting up. Interesting record selection in the store part. The back arcade was different for a record store/show space, but they had some great pinball machines. The show was pretty good for a Monday night, with positive vibes all around.
Awful customer service called to ask about a record and was basically yelled at for asking if they had a particular record in stock I do not recommend this place.
The same thing in Springfield illinois
Probably a good spot for hipsters and bin divers, but insufficient diversity and categorization for my tastes.

They did an awesome job with the photo booth at my wedding! The photo booth was well managed and the staff was friendly. The booth can be opened to hold larger groups. All the guest get a copy of the picture and it can also be emailed to them. The background of the photo was custom made to what I wanted. There were many great props to choose from and the props were displayed neatly on a table. The photo memory book is a great keepsake and the book is great quality. Also, I got a flash drive of all the photos to make as many copies as I want. Great service and very nice to work with. I am a very satisfied customer. 🙂 Thanks Rock Star Photo Booth
Jon and his staff went above and beyond on our wedding day. The photo booth was a hit at our wedding and the attendants at the booth did an awesome job! If you’re thinking about getting a photo booth, this is the one!! We received a photo album with all of the prints in them which doubles as a guestbook! We also received a thumb drive with all of the pictures and prints!
So glad that we booked this along with our music with Music Source! This was a HUGE hit and even better after our wedding when we got to go through the flash drive and scrapbook of all our guests! We absolutely loved the photo booth and I could tell that our guests did as well – we always seemed to have a line for the photo booth! The best part was the customization of the print outs that our guests got – and we were able to make it match our invites and tie back to our theme for our wedding – LOVED it and the prints turned out perfect. Highly recommend especially if you have a wedding coming up – great way to capture your guests
