A unique mixture of a museum and store. I WOULD recommend it highly. If I am close I will definitely go back. It is an experience!
I enjoyed every moment in there
Definitely one of the neatest and most overlooked places in Arkansas, if you love history of blues and rock n roll this is definitely a place you want to visit! It’s like a rock museum with a small selection of guitars for sale as well as picks, cables, strings, all your basic guitarist needs.
Good store, good people. Stop in and pick up something on your music journey.
Nice folks at H22 Music Store- they take care of all my guitar needs!
My son bought his first guitar here. He loves the staff.They are very helpful and polite. He even takes guitar lessons there. Worth the drive from anywhere.
Nice enough folks. The store seens really bare compared to what it was like 2 years ago..
just went by there to by my sons xmas. There phone was disconnected and they werent open ehen we got there.

Address: 610 Main St, Arkadelphia, AR 71923 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Paul is a wealth of knowledge for anything guitar or any musical instruments as well as proav and many other things related to the industry. There’s really only one small town music store left in South Arkansas. I’m glad it’s Shuffield music.
Great place for your music needs.
Great local music store. We have shopped here for years.
Not to bad
Rude
Good place to buy guitars, don’t ask them to fix anything you own uness you want it damaged.
4. Arkansas Musicworks
Address: 2400 SE J St, Bentonville, AR 72712 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
I ordered a guitar part from them and it shipped very quickly!
GREAT staff! Highly recommended!
These folks are great. As a middle age novice I anticipated a much more difficult experience figuring out an introduction to guitar but they are very approachable and accessible and generally very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.
Pretty nice place! First time I have ever been was last week and was surprised at how pretty the inside of the building was and the nice selection overall. They have some beautiful guitars in there that take up an entire wall!
My only two complaints is the drum section is cramped in a corner, and I wasn’t approached or asked if I needed help a single time. There was one other customer in the building besides me and there was around four employees by the counter. I walked around the entire store for about 30 minutes and not a single time was I asked if I needed anything.
Not a major deal. Nice store and I will be back!
Been forever since I played drums the employees are top notch
MW is a great place to get music & supplies. Staff are helpful…
I had a very unpleasant experince with this place. My daughter’s saxophone needed to be fixed, so I took it to this store. Well almost 7 weeks passed and they never called me. When I called them to see if it was ready, they said it was ready. I went to pick it up just to learn that it was not fixed. They were very unpolite the whole time. They said it was fixed when I knew it wasn’t and there was no receipt/details of the work they “did” to it. So they game me a number to call. So I called the number, which is the place who they work with to fix the instruments in Fayatteville. They said they had no record of our instrument. So basically they never sent my daughters saxophone to them and they never called me to let me know what was going on. I understand sometimes things happen, but they basically never accepted they made a mistake. I was very polite with them, eventhough I was not happy about this whole situation. I will not be going to this place again, or reccomend it to anybody. And by the way, one of the owners, who has blonde/reddish hair, is one of the most inpolite person I ever met. We’ve been going to this place for years and if he is there, we know it’s not going to be good. He is rude and has poor customer service skills.
They werent interested in helping enless you were buying brand new.
Brought my guitar into get work done on it. Neck reset and put new strings on it. They ship it out to the luthier who gives it back in worse condition than I gave it to them in. DO NOT USE!
5. Houck Music Co
Address: 806 W Main St, Cabot, AR 72023 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Great service and experience. Walked out with a new saxophone.
Definitely coming back. The gentleman greeted us with a warm welcome. We are starting a new hobby and thoroughly explained how we can do so. Look forward to doing future business
The repair guys are always fantastic!
Clean store, nice staff.
Always very helpful. Some hard to find items too.
Pretty great selection of instruments, however I felt extremely awkward with the staff and felt like my questions were intrusions. You could chalk this up to me just being anxious, but I would have much more appreciated an employee who could recommend stuff to me, and willing to help me find what I’m looking for. I’ll be going to A different shop to get what I need
Awful service. Bought strings for my guitar, and since im not very good at putting them on and they were the most expensive strings, i left my guitar for them to put the strings on for me bc they said theyd do it for free and that they would call me within a day or so. I waoted almsot a week and figured that i must have missed the call and went there to get my guitar. They hadnt even touched it and told me that it would be several more days before they could get to it. I just went ahead and took my guitar. Never getting my business again im just gonna go to guitar center.
Do not let them store your debit card on file. I have an unauthorized charge on my account. ONLY PAY THEM THROUGH THE WEBSITE, NOT OVER THE PHONE.
7. Palmer Music Company
Address: 1131 Front St, Conway, AR 72032 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Very prompt and professional experience.
Will return soon!
Palmer Music is outstanding. We drive 35 minutes to get there and we live 5 minutes from a different music store. Their selection for acoustics is the best around for Taylor and Martin. But the customer service is where they really shine. They bent over backwards to help us recently. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
This was a great first start for our kids piano lessons!! You have a BEAUTIFUL facility, so thankful Conway has such an amazing music program
My guitar was in for repairs for about 4 months. Almost no communication was provided about status of the repair work. It’s understandable with Covid making it difficult to have parts shipped, but the lack of adequate communication was uncomfortably disappointing. I don’t blame the young individual who was working on my guitar, but rather leadership who should have provided direction on appropriate and timely customer service communication. It doesn’t matter to me that it would have taken considerable time for repairs. But the lack of communication stating that due to a backlog in parts, and it was just a waiting game, would have been enough. A 30 second phone call every couple of weeks or so to advise a customer that no progress has been made is better than nothing…it would have been enough to have left my guitar there for months longer. The ironic thing about all this is that I really like the store and the people at Palmer Music, so I will most likely continue to purchase my music supplies from them and I hope my experience there was a one-off….
I was looking at electric guitars and they didn’t offer to let me plug any of them in. How are you truly going to know if you like one or not if you can’t hear the sound.
Usually busy because they’re good at what they do!
Went in expecting to buy a new guitar on 01/26/2023. The man behind the counter was very unfriendly & unhelpful.
I found one I wanted to buy but I just didn’t really want to give my money to a person who didn’t know how to smile.
Another employee walked by and was even more emotionless than the other guy. I left feeling very unwelcome.
I will not be back.
Go to GUITAR CENTER instead (you can actually have FUN there).
8. H22 Music Store
Address: 1105 Burman Dr, Jacksonville, AR 72076 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
9. Randy’s Music
Address: 146 E Main St, Batesville, AR 72501 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
He helped me with pick out the right guitar strings for my Les Paul today, the store is really cool and has great prices. also my strings sound amazing!
Randy was awesome. Knew exactly what I needed and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t want or need. Fantastic. Will be back for sure.
Anything music, go see Randy! He’s got some G&L guitars stocked now that will leave you drooling and he’s a great guy that will give you a great deal!
Selection consists of mainly guitars, basses and a few country oriented instruments. Limited selection.
Not a super big store with lots of options but they have the things I need
Great store
Biggest piece of trash you’ll ever meet in your life.
10. High Note Band Instrument Repair
Address: 211 N Pruett St, Paragould, AR 72450 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Loved the products and I was treated amazing. Great gear, amazing service, highly recommend it.
Love it!
Popped in for a specific item, sales associate was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, got me exactly what I needed and on my way quickly.
I SO want to support my local music store but when ya routinely don’t have what i need in stock and don’t seem to care it makes Amazon, AMS, etc.
Small store, I was in just before Christmas and the walls were pretty sparse. Probably due to the time of year.
I went in at the end of The Working Day. There were not a lot of salespeople in evidence but they all seemed both experienced and pleasant. I watched as Andy and his coworkers worked with several customers and I felt like everyone was well served. If I ever learn to play the damn guitar I suspect I’ll be at fixture in their store. Check them out.
I tried to try out a fender deluxe reverb amp and they yelled at me to turn down at the edge of break up after about 3 seconds. I went to a real music store after and bought a fender vibrolux. The really know how to send someone somewhere els. That store really hasn’t been the same since Dave passed.
Xz
Called them about a t.c. helicon vocal processor. They said they still had it for sale. I made the 1 hour 15 minute drive. Got there. Got the processor out of display case. Selected all cables and things to make it work. Went to pay and was told I could not buy it because of some law. I said but I drove over an hour to get here. And you have it priced and on the sales floor advertised. Staff said” huh” Was told by staff to return tomorrow. Told them that was not right to which they replied “yea”.. didn’t even try to make a compromise to help me. Very disappointing
12. Valley Piano Co
Address: 3515 W Main St, Russellville, AR 72801 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Such a friendly, helpful place. Reasonable prices, lots to look at.
great
Great place, knowledgeable staff
Great people, a very old store
I went into to buy a guitar. Very small selection
Lots of sheet music and DVDs but it is all on the computer today. Wonderful people. I wish them well!
My visit was to test the integrity of an electric guitar I had. Spoke to the guy behind the counter. (The one with the gray streaked goatee). Told him I was preparing to sell it via Facebook, and all I want to do is see if it sounds as it should. He said it was ok I was like great thanks. The buyer was from outta town and was shopping for guitar supplies. She had just bought amp still needed a cord possibly more. Asked her to meet up there since she was just down the road. She wanted to go in do to the rain. Instantly he started ranting that he’s a business man a professional and I was shady for what I had done. I was very polite. My reply ( I’m sorry I brought you a customer sure she meet up with me to buy a guitar for cheap but she still may need something) she was there for his childish act. ( she replied I do need a cord) He didn’t even bother to respond to her. He looks at me says someone smells bad like cigarettes… Wow 0 stars for your sir. Where’s your public relations at. Your welcome for that sell.
13. Rich Mountain Music & Jewelry
Address: 801 Mena St, Mena, AR 71953 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
My family and I have been there a couple of times to purchase a violin and guitar. We felt very comfortable and they were courteous and helpful. We will be back and do recommend this shop.
The owners of Fabulous Finds are very helpful and kind every time we visit. My son has picked out many musical instruments for his birthday, or for Christmas, with lots of great memories over the years. He continues to buy strings, picks, mics, cords and other accessories for his music studio at this store. We’re so grateful and have enjoyed the great customer service. Our family will always remember this wonderful elderly couple, and all they did for our children growing up. Here is a picture of the custom birthday cake they made for my son on his 18th birthday!
Good Christian folk that are there to help you with whatever it is you need (musical, jewelry) and in my case that would be music.
Brought in a basically new saxophone and he only offered me $150 when A brand new saxophone is $1000 no scratches no dents like do you know how to run a pawnshop??
Was very dissatisfied to find out these guys aren’t honest people bought a guitar and case in there and it had only been took out of case to look at it still has tag I had receipt where I purchased it due to unforeseen circumstances I took it back in to sell back to him he was rude an only wanted to give me less than half what I had paid few months back it still has tags and I have receipt thought was pretty sorry not very honest he is a rip off I will tell everyone I know not to deal with them they are crooked like I said it still has tags and I got receipt I could have understood if it had been messed up but was just like I carried it out of the place then the jerk had the nerve to ask me to leave it there and see if he could sell for me I may not be very bright but not stupid I guess I was stupid for buying it there to start with
14. FYE
Address: 4501 Central Ave #142, Hot Springs, AR 71913 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Got so many kpop albums that I’ve been wanting for MONTHS. If you’re a kpop fan then I definitely recommend going here! You won’t regret it!
Good place to check out, never know what you’ll find.
Great collectables and t-shirts, but their prices are a little high for my tastes.
Several of the movies I’ve bought there were scratched so badly they wouldn’t play. I only bother returning them when I don’t mind the risk of getting that one cashier who won’t let me buy anything without having an email. Everything else about the store is great.
Wandered into the Hot Springs Mall location. Yes, there is so much to look at but the prices are stupid high even with whatever sale they have going. Second, my 16 year old daughter was purchasing a marvel canvas and the clerk talked her into a 10% discount by signing up for a music online service that had a rotating fee. The clerk knew it was for adults over 18 years old but still convinced her to sign up. My daughter was happy about the discount when she told me outside but when I read the print at the bottom I had to explain what it meant and the clerk never told her. I went back into the store and confront the clerk who admitted to doing so to a child because she even admitted she gave a false date of birth to do the subscription. I talked with the manager about policies and procedures. Not happy with what happened.
Very hot alot of the merch was damaged and pretty sure it’s hot enough to spoil the snacks.
Cute enough little shop.
15. Ro-An Music Studio & Lessons
Address: 19231 I-30 Frontage Rd, Benton, AR 72015 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
I started playing guitar 30 years ago. I was pretty consistent for the first 15 years, but the last 15, not so much, so I decided to call Ro-An. I knew of Gary, but didn’t know him personally. I have had 2 lessons with him so far, and I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time. I was pretty much playing in circles and felt like I was stuck in a box. He’s shown me things to help get me out of the box. Gary really simplifies things and explains the guitar in a way that’s easy to understand. He enjoys it too, and you see that when he teaches. I highly recommend guitar lessons from Gary whether you’re a beginner or advanced player.
The instructor is very knowledgeable about the way he teaches guitar
Excellent teacher. He has very flexible hours and is fun to work with while learning your instrument.
16. Steinway Piano Gallery Little Rock
Address: 657 AR-365, Mayflower, AR 72106 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
New York City, move over! This space is wonderful, the technician services of Mr.Wirges are first rate, and the instruments on the floor right now have wonderful touch and sound. Very courteous and helpful staff also.
Stephen was initially supposed to tune our piano but was honest with us and showed us that our poor old piano had a cracked sound board. He worked with us and helped us find a beautiful piano in our price range that now sits in our home. It sounds much better and we love listening to our son play! Thank you!
Our church purchased a piano from these kind folks. It was at a reasonable price, the piano was a Boston GP-178, and we love it. We are very happy with our piano and we can’t think him and us also for giving us a trade-in on our old Yamaha G1. They also tune our Boston for us periodically. And it sounds great!
Thanks so much!
17. Martin Music
Address: 1659 Poplar Ave, Memphis, TN 38104 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Great selection of great gear! Knowledge and friendly staff!!
These guys know guitars. They care. You will be in good hands here.
Great music store
The workers aren’t that friendly. I spoke when the entered the sure and nobody spoke back. I wasn’t asked how can I help you but the store is very clean. All the instruments look excellent and my daughter did but a guitar strap at a very reasonable price and she loves it. Everything was well stocked and dust free. I think they should work on greeting the customers but that’s my only complaint because every question I asked was answered with a smile.
I like their wide selection of guitars Basses, musical and accessories etc…
Love the guys at Martins, nd olive my new Ibanez Guitar
Awful very racist
Walked in with a grand to spend from some recent amp sales. Asked about the scuffed orange 412 they had listed at 599. This price isn’t unheard of. Not one mile away I found one used in better condition for 600. I’m going to buy one in Nashville for 450 right now. They told me it was the wrong price. 849. I then asked about rackmount preamps (you know, the mesa triaxis, studio pre sort) and they responded with “we’re not that high tech here”. They are mesa dealers. 2 stars because it looked nice. Came across as any other high paid, mindless salesman. They didn’t know anything about what they sell. Would not recommend.
Very poor customer service. My sense is they didn’t care either way whether I shop there or not. I made a substantial purchase with a credit card. The ukulele case I bought was dirty. I did not realize it was covered in dust until I got home. You would think that they would brush it off first before they sold it to me. Again it’s all about quality of service. I would recommend going somewhere else.
18. Block Street Records
Address: 17 N Block Ave, Fayetteville, AR 72701 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
Everytime I visit this store, the staff is friendly, the music is great and the selection is varied. The owner understands record players and helped me figure out problems with my equipment. Any special orders I’ve had have come in quickly and the records are in great quality.
Great atmosphere and so many different records to choose from and look through.
Man if you own a record player, you have to come in here. I guarantee they have what your looking for! The workers are beyond helpful. The vibes in here are it! Needless to say they are playing good music. This place is an all around bop!
Good selection, OK prices.
My go-to record shop to fuel my vinyl addiction! Great selection and great staff!
Cool mid-sized shop. They had a broad selection across all genres. They did not have several of the LP’s I was looking for but the owner was quick or offer in-store ordering. Definitely worth a monthly visit.
I brought in my father’s music collection and was told it was worthless
Limited supply.
They have hard to find stuff but it’s all over priced.
19. Best Buy
Address: 2220 S Promenade Blvd, Rogers, AR 72758 , Heiden , Arkansas , United States
It’s a Best buy. Shop for what you want, price match Amazon, be happy
Awesome! Very knowledgeable and when they didn’t know, they asked.
Love it…
Fair pricing, quick customer service and helped load the stuff.
Was nice had what I needed and didn’t have to wait in a long line to checkout.
Buen, bonita y barata. 3 B.
What has happened to the in store music selection ? I can find more at Target or Wal Mart .
I had problems with them honoring warranty on an expensive big screen. Only small purchases from now on.
The rating is for their support of Apple products. I came in With my AirPods that have water damage. They said that there is nothing they can do for them and that they couldn’t send them in. I called Megabyte and they said ‘yes just bring them in and we will send them out.’ Go to Megabyte for support of Apple products.
