Premium music shops of Happy Camp: Our Top-8 selection

Very nice people!! Good service! Gotta love small towns❤️

Its a store to get your sports and liquor drinks and snacks.they have ice cream and slurpees made in front of u and they make sandwiches and coffee drinks to just gotta ask and they will make it when there not a big line.. only problem there only one cash register there so u gotta wait to check out if there’s a big line. Lots of people come visit everyday. And the cashers are very friendly and make u feel at home ….

Great little store friendly staff down home feel

What can one say about Double J Sports and Spirits? Like any other small town convenience store / liquor store the employees there are very personable and likable. The store is always kept clean and neat well-stocked and considering they’re almost Monopoly-Like status they make every reasonable effort to remain competitively priced! For me, this says a lot for the character and moral fiber of its owner(s).
I would be remiss if I did not mention that the store inadvertently serves as the Community Communication Center where in the residents of our community pass by on a daily basis either with a story or to hear a story regarding whomever is not in favor for that day! Yes, where the gossip flows like the Waters of our beloved Klamath itself. Where those that have had their chances at life… and failed!! Now live vicarious lives on the backs of those that are being slandered against, relentlessly ridiculed and fantasized about!!
So the next time you find yourself in the small community of Happy Camp by all means stop in and stock up! But be sure to bring that extra box or bag to carry a heaping, hindering, helping hand of local gossip that you are sure to inundated with immediately upon arrival…

Just stopped in for soft serve ice cream. It was good.

Great store. Wide selection. Knowledgeable staff.

Highly recommended

Great place! Very knowledgeable and honest folks. Great equipment collection and stock items.

Another one of my stops to window shop over the road trip weekend. I am very pleased to say the customer service was outstanding but I will only rate it 4 stars. It was also very nice to hear the people at Hilltop speak highly of other music stores in the Rogue Valley. Not something I experience in Portland too often.
Off the charts selection of classical nylon stringed guitars and a very good assortment of Andrew White acoustics.
Will I pay them a other visit in the future ? Most definitely !

Just ok

Friendly folks. Good selection and variety of guitars and other equipment. Prices are OK…

Cool stuff

Cool place, However staff made us feel uncomfortable. Don’t expect to touch anything without being questioned or started at rudely. I’m still treated like I’m stupid there. Even though we bought a lot of things.

Started shoppng here with Mary Ellen in 1995

Great local music store. Love this place

Wonderful variety great staff from electric guitars,Acoustic Nice selection if a bass is ur instrument of the week.. Strings picks amps…Foggy.Mountain Music

Love it

Very cool rustic music store with knowledgeable, friendly staff.

great spot, great people. a bit overwhelming but take a min and its easily appreciable

Over priced

Yeah not too sure about that place I feel robbed every time I go in there, yeah of course there’s a lot of good stuff there but overall there wasn’t a chance for no stars they can have one I guess

Owners are rude

Al is really great. Very kind and good hearted man. Can not thank him enough for the work he has done on my guitars. A real professional.

This place is like an oasis in the desert. I spent one week learning guitar repair from Al and his patience, calm demeanor, and extensive knowledge delivered an incredible learning experience. Drop-in and returning clients equally treated with respect and welcomeness, his passion and skill is undeniable. If you have a guitar/bass that needs some work or if you have any desire to take an in-depth look into the guitar world, Al is the guide you want. Offering full-guitar builds or repair classes, the learning environment he creates with you allows you to absorb as much as possible at the pace you require. Definitely worth stopping in and introducing yourself if you’re in the area, or just diving in to learn. Wonderful experience.

Friendly, helpful, and experienced staff

Great prices and a great selection.

My wife purchased a guitar here for me recently. She was very happy with the service she received. The owner was really good at explaining the various qualities of that guitar and didn’t try to sell it so much as inform and let her decide. I’ve been coming to the shop since it opened, so now she understands why I’m so enthusiastic about it.

It’s a really great shop. The owner has a ton of expert knowledge concerning music, especially stringed instruments.

It’s good to have a decent guitar store in town where there’s always an expert on hand.

The purchase was quick and the prices were amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

G a good time for you to come over and I will be there for you and your family

My son was in need of a flute for junior high band. They had a great price on a used one and were very knowledgeable. Thank you!

Zaful

Not much of a selection,,a lot of really low end pieced together mutt guitars and amps.
Tried very hard to engage counter man in conversation,,but he just preferred to sit quietly while I looked over tiny inventory…..guess I will keep looking for a music store.

Awesome place skip is great

I was recommended by my neighbor that use to be a singer, I do visit and I highly trust the owner! He’s a real good instructor and is very honest in every aspect and handles his skills in a professional way! Must visit this place!! Thank you

Skip Bertsch is a Berklee School of Music graduate and a Teacher of all instruments he sells.

His store is one of a kind in the sense he has open mic Wednesday evenings, Friday Night Live Bands w/full on Stage Light Productions and Records the Groups for their own use and Sales and Saturday Night in the Park only a few buildings away from his facility!

He has a Snack bar and serves Sodas, Healthy Juices, Coffee and Expresso…

Bottom line:His Music Equipment lineup is Beginners to Live Pro Venue levels… Bar none Skip reps the real exclusive dignified Version of all that’s fair good and caring…

Stop on by to get All you need here…

God Bless Skipper B.

Great friendly helpful people. Open mic night was great. Check it out.

They were technically closed but the door was open , ( had a young man on the drum kit ,3rd lesson and was coming along ) I introduced myself , Skip was very nice and accommodating .He informed me of open mic night , I’m looking forward to laying some southern blues slide guitar downtown!! Thanks for being so cool Skip. Your bro from Ga , Van

Nice place to here different musical instruments and bands. Knowledgeable staff, variety of instruments.

Most friendly place for my music needs

We are so lucky to have an independent music store that’s open on weekends!

after not coming into the shop for 8 years, they still knew my name and were as courteous as ever. I use Gelb as my main music shop. the staff in all of the departments are knowledgeable and helpful.

Price is not the best

A totally legit local music shop selling name brand instruments as well as higher-end and vintage gears. There is a room full of just amps. Staff is generally very helpful and would let you try things out. Be careful reaching up for guitars and gears since it’s a small space. Always ask for help unless you want to drop something and end up paying for it.

Good

Very disappointed this time as they are being unprofessional. I ordered guitar cleaning service, but when I picked up my guitar, it was only half cleaned. They explained that when they were doing the cleaning, they figured out that they didn’t charge me enough.

Okay, then you should have given me a phone call, explaining everything, not just leave your job half done.

I just experience the worst service, something that was going so good, ended up leaving the me (customer) unpleasant and dissatisfied. Im in need of a power supply for a unit which i purchased from Gelb music store about 6 years back. In fact it would’ve been my third time getting an adapter here. I saw online that they have it stock, i drove from Napa to redwood city due to familiarity. Multiple staff tried to help find an adapter that works. One older staff insist to take over. He found one unboxed among spared ones without a price tag. The older staff therefore told another staff to charge me(customer) $25 for that old charger.. (let it be known, newer charger/ adapters are between $10 and $20)

How do you come up with that figure?
Oh the black man has to pay more huh?
Omdb they’ll never have my business again.
The older staff viciously took back the adapter and said i was assisting his time. Thought you were working?..

As someone who has been going to Gelb since I was a teenager all I have to say is “Please make it go away”.

What was once a well known piece of the music community of the bay area has become totally useless.
What was once a family of musicians active in the local music scene is now the Kmart of music stores, disorganized…impersonal…just another guitar store.

A couple of weeks ago I went there to get a couple of packs of strings and they couldn’t find them???

Today I went in to see if they had a couple of guitar boxes to ship a guitar I was selling, in the past the response was sure how many do you need, today the response was “We sell them for $15”, if they had said 5$ sure but $15? what exactly am I paying for? your stellar customer service?

Since the change this place has steadily gone downhill, please just let it go, make it go away, or at least change the name so you aren’t tarnishing the name of what was once an institution of the bay area music scene.
