I met Modert at a conference and have been extremely impressed with his passion and drive when it comes to making the best sound and experience for his customers. You will not regret going with The Old Mississippi Sound House team!
The passion and care they have for their clients shows in all they do from simple promotion to their exceptional video creation

7. Front Row Center Music
Address: 1507 N Main St, Benton, IL 62812 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
Nice cozy little place and the employees seem nice.
Guy was very helpful, had some used merchandise that saved us a ton of money. Highly recommended
Had everything I needed in stock
Has what you need when it comes to musical instruments needs..friendly service and knowledgeable..
The little unknown place with hidden gems!..
They seam to have what you need. In music supplies.
Music store that appears to be run out of someone’s house. It smelled like stale cigarettes and was extremely disorganized. The guy running the place seemed to know his music but unfortunately I couldn’t handle the smell of smoke and was afraid that anything I purchased here would likely bring the smell home with me. Very friendly and helpful but this place desperately needs to be aired out.
Disorganized and everything is not priced with a tag, you have to ask him to look it up online in order to get a price. You may be there for an hour waiting for him to price each record or instrument you want. You will have better luck going to Guitar Center 20 miles away. Prices were not negotiable as well, just seems like a used music store should be more open minded to pricing and all.
Nothing in the store was priced. Took the time and found a stack of records I wanted to buy. He said he’d have to go on the internet and price each, one at a time. Gave him about 10 minutes to do that while I shopped. When I was ready to go, he only had one priced, and it was more than twice what it was worth on Discogs. The place was filthy and stinky. So, told him never mind on the records and I would buy the drumsticks and a kick plate. $16.09, fair price. Gave him a $20 and he didn’t have any change. Finally got so frustrated and just left. Don’t waste your time here.
8. Halpin Music Company
Address: 139 S Locust St, Centralia, IL 62801 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
This place > guitar center The equipment sounded great, the prices were fantastic and the customer service was astounding. If I could give it more stars, I would
GREAT PLACE TO VISIT, BUY, AND STAY A WHILE
Great shop! Phone number listed on Google is incorrect- 532-8512 is the correct number.
Average music store
The website says its open till 5 on Saturday not 3
Good prices
I had to have my horn sent to Alton because this tech in Centralia is discriminatory against people with disabilities. Had to drive two and a half hours 200 plus miles and no discount for a simple repair I will never use them again thinking about taking legal action.
Good stuff just could be better with details and price
Trusted person , good price with excellent work !
Recommend to all ..
They did a very nice job at my wedding reception and handled both my list of music/announcements and guest requests very well. Volume and lighting/speaker setup was good.
10. Redbox
Address: 405 Broadway Ave, South Roxana, IL 62087 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
The staff is so friendly. Never have i seen a store in perfect order…extremly clean and inviting!!!
Very convenient and great low prices .I always feel welcome and the employees are always willing to help.
Great place to use coupons
Clean, friendly
Missing a lot of things on the shelves
It’s okay a lot of empty shelfs
Poor customer service
Poor customer service got this lady name Annie walking around with tight clothes on and then be mad when someone be looking at her stop wearing those tight clothes
Could be more organized.
13. Hart’s Music Center
Address: 331 E Poplar St, Harrisburg, IL 62946 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
Is and always has been a place where you can find everything music and sound related. Whether it’s a instrument or lighting issue. Drums, microphones and even wiring for a new install. Very friendly, helpful caring business.
This man may look like a junk hoarder, you can most definitely find most everything in this shop. John is one of the nicest guys you can deal with. Definitley reccomend.
Really nice guy
The owner is a very nice man. Prices can be a little high, but fair on other items. He does a good job at providing a variety of different instruments.
Be really skinny walking in there. It’s packed.
Great small town music store with a very helpful and friendly proprietor.
14. Redbox
Address: 1122 Vaughn Rd, Wood River, IL 62095 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
Always great stopping in the music shop,great place to buy and trade at for your music needs
Great spot. Been in business over 20 years same location. Nephew needed some drum sticks. They have a nice selection of guitars and can definitely meet your needs.
Cool spot
Called to check on strings
Great guys and fair prices. They also offer repair and maintenance of instruments which is nice. Pay with cash and they will eat the tax!
Some vintage gear and some brands I’ve never seen before. Mike was very friendly. If you’re visiting Carbondale and need a quick fix, swing on by. Easy to find on main drag.
16. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 610 Wesley Dr, Wood River, IL 62095 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
For once I didnt feel like I was an outsider, tresspassing. Other times visiting this store left me feeling like I wasnt welcome. Hard to explain it exactly.
All around very pleasant shopping this time and kudos to the employees I dealt with.
Produce/meat staff was very friendly and helpful, grocery lady i asked where something was at ,and she ignored me basically..and when she did finally answer,she had a very bad attitude.great selection of video games and cheaper than Amazon, ok toy selection,bit does seem like they stock it much,if at all. Clean store 4 stars
Lines where not bad and they offer lots of self checkout lanes if you wish to skip the main lines and check yourself out (also good for social distancing)
Always fairly busy so often people are spread out if you need help which can make it difficult to find someone, but other then this never really had a bad experience here!
(Included a random item I got here a while back)
If you’re looking for a Wal-Mart that is completely unable to keep shelves even remotely stocked on a regular basis than this is your store. Every time I have been here the lines to check out are ridiculously long. But there are only 4 or 5 lanes open. I can’t help but wonder why none of the other lanes are open. Management needs to be replaced if they are not capable of running a functional store!!!
Workers are rude. Not all but the ones I met. Just tryna get flowers for my girlfriend, f walmart
Never answered phone and lines are terrible
17. HIGH LIFE
Address: 400 E St Louis Ave, East Alton, IL 62024 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
I would rate this place 0 stars if I could. Saw the reviews and thought this would be an okay place to buy from. I went inside and the music was blasting so loud I couldn’t hear myself think even when the worker came over we had to yell to each other to even understand. Wasn’t a great start but then when I asked about the products the worker didn’t seem the most knowledgeable and was acting very Unprofessional and didn’t seem like he wanted to help me at all. I asked him where the carts are and he showed me and when I asked to make sure it was a cart he reassured me it was. When it was time to check out he didn’t ID me at all which I thought was very strange. When I went to my car after the purchase I opened it and realized he had sold me a disposable which he clarified to me twice it was a cart. I was very upset so I went inside to see if I could return it and get the cart I was promised but then he proceeded to tell me that I was lying and didn’t ask for a cart. He refused to admit his fault and started to have an attitude with me. I will never be coming back to this store if this is how their workers act. He seemed too high to even register what was going on around him. To add on to that after doing more research I learned that this store sells to minors everyday, in another review I read, a 13 year old was able to go inside and buy a vape. Do yourself a favor and go to any other smokeshop at least there they will respect you and the law. I don’t trust any store that profits off of children don’t come here
Trash
Forgot to say in last post,price tags were orange and removed lol….git ripped off enjoy boy’s I won’t be back a the word is spreading lol
18. I VAPOR & TOBACCO
Address: 629 Wesley Dr, Wood River, IL 62095 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
If you’re looking for a great selection of cigars, look no further than this vape shop. They have a wide range of options to choose from.
Great service last time i was here
But today seems to be opening late. Still isnt opened right now
great service from this location!! jason was so helpful and helped my boyfriend find everything he needed and some more. definitely recommend!
Helpful workers. Decent prices
May,26th,2023 Up here at 9:20 supposed to open at 8 and still closed whats going on?
You might want to change your hours it says open at 8 AM on Saturday. I’m here at nine and no one’s there.
Sad customer service
You guys show on your door you open at 8 am on Thursday’s and I have been sitting here for 5 minutes after 8 and still the doors are locked and no sign of anybody. I proceeded to call thinking maybe someone was back there and no answer either. You guys should make sure your hours are actually correct or you need to fire someone for being this late.
After 14 hours of work I realized I need some vape at 8am and was pleasantly surprised when I googled vape stores near me that are open right now and saw I vapor & tobacco. I was just in time on my way home. Well Ive been sitting in my car in the parking lot since 8 am and it’s now 841 and still no one has showed up to open the store. I have literally talked to 2 other people who have pulled up and tried to go in also. This is a bad first impression… for now 3 potential customers.
19. Byassee Music and Sound
Address: 521 W Main St, Marion, IL 62959 , Hartford , Illinois , United States
This store is the answer to my prayers. Marion il needs this place so to all of you musician and future musicians support this store and help it stay here. I am a guitar player and it felt like coming home to the way it use to be. The people here no pressure and its a relaxed atmosphere in the store. it is great to have these guys in our community.
It is an excellent music store with almost anything you need for almost any instrument.
Was shown a reasonable older guitar I was looking for and it was matclear that it was as good as I thought
Best place ever to me
Had everything we needed.
Really nice people, just very overpriced
They sold me a violin for 2,000 and when I had it appraised the specialist said they cost $100 for a set of three. I will never do business with them again and I urge anyone to go elsewhere
