2. Musician’s Pro Shop & School Of Music
Address: 800 Maple St, Burlington, IA 52601 , Henderson County , Illinois , United States
I have used Musicians Pro Shop since it opened with Joel Kipp. It always was and is in the forefront of music industry, has a great recording studio, and handles excellent musical instruments and gear. Musicians in this area all rely on it, and it also has excellent music lessons and teachers. Needs to stay around for years to come. Big part of the area.
Really good place would recommend
That’s a good place for people who like to make music
You’re not going to find any deals in here.
Everything is MSRP, and most used guitars are the price of new. The stock has not changed in months and the same guitars are hanging on the racks.
Nice people but I have taken 2 guitars here and both of them came back with still issues and one guitar was 6 months old just needed minor adjustment. I will take my instruments elsewhere
Good prices and really nice quality music equipment and instruments. Would Reccomend.
Adam has a great music store. Lots of variety in guitars. He has a new product; cigar box guitars. He offers guitar care services, takes fair trade-ins for guitars he sells. He takes the time to talk with you about what your needs are in music instruments, in recording and more.

Very knowledgeable, helpful, and interesting staff. Great selection available, ranging from every type of music book you could need, to whatever instrument you’d need to play them. Plenty of interesting novelty music items as well, which are always fun to see.
Came and picked up old piano, very efficient and professional
They carry or will order for you all kinds of music books! They are first on our list for music!
We went for bass clarinet reeds. Got what we needed. They have a lot of inventory here. The staff was helpful and friendly. They do band instruments here. There were also great stocking stuffers for those who like and play music.
I would give them no stars if I could. I called for a retune four months after the first tuning because the piano sounded worse than it did before. This is a nice Boston studio piano, which is a Steinway product. They contracted the retune to another person so they didn’t have to retune, and of course, I had to pay another tuning fee.

Studio Live is the best! They have great instruments and equipment for sale. They do repairs and offer a great place to jam and learn! You must come and see for yourself and support this local shop! My daughter couldn’t get even sleep last-night because she couldn’t wait to go back!
Love this place! A somewhat-hidden gem but well worth the stop! If they don’t have what you’re looking for Brandon is great at finding it. He’s also a great teacher, as an adult I decided I wanted to learn guitar and I couldn’t have done it without Brandon at Studio Live. Keep up the great work!

I have been going to Weird Harold’s for as long as I can remember. For everything they have to offer. From tapes, to CD’s, to concert tickets, to artwork and frames. Weird Harold and I go way back, as we are the same age.
Wooden nickels, two dollar bills, and silver dollars all collected over the years may not have been quite enough to put me through college, but it was enough to keep my interest, and peak the interest of my nephew who collects currency and coins. Thanks for being something relevant and good to talk about, Weird Harold’s
Love the music selections
Helpful staff
Alot of old school vinyl.
Tons of costumes
Disappointed they no longer rent costumes for Halloween
Danny is extremely rude!!!! Learn better customer service and how to talk on the phone! If your job is too hard or stressful for you maybe find something else to do. Hope he has the day and life he deserves:)
Red headed woman really hateful and racist really a nucence to the really Great Burlington Comunity
12. Mcfadden Family Music
Address: 504 12th St, Fort Madison, IA 52627 , Henderson County , Illinois , United States
A great selection of guitars and keyboards as well as every accessory you might need. Music lessons are another featured offering. Great place.
Great group of guys. If they don’t have they have no problem finding and ordering it for you. Excellent prices as well
Very professional salesman
Pretty good inventory from starter instruments to grand pianos. Laid back atmosphere.
I primarily look in the guitar/bass section, but good selection of instruments and helpful staff.
Very limited selection of music, they have lots of guitars and pianos, though.
I hate doing this because I want to like music stores but if service is gonna be like this, everyone myswell DIY at home and heed this warning. I’ve had a few guitars setup there which is what I’m always needing done, new guitars etc, well I happen to be changing the strings on my Chapman that I had setup there and the low E saddle of the Floyd Rose came loose and the saddle screw fell out and that’s strange as you tighten them down. Well here’s what I discovered. Either dude lost the original saddle screw or he broke it somehow, but sitting in place of the original saddle screw is a too small saddle screw from a different bridge! It had been set in there and the string was tightened until it held the saddle in place! Like magic no screwing required! This guaranteed that as soon as the string tension came loose the saddle and screw would come loose every time NOT like it’s supposed to. Soooo sad service especially since luckily here at home I have many of those saddle screws laying around. It would have been better service to call me/order the correct part than to wait for me to get home figure out that I have the wrong part and have to deal with it myself. Smh.
Took in a brand new bass to get a pickup replaced. Not a scratch on it, never played once. The supposedly simple pickup replacement took a week and a half only for them to give me back my new bass with the back of it covered in scratches and a huge glob of dried glue stuck to the fretboard that won’t come off. They absolutely wrecked my new bass before I even had a chance to play it. Worst possible experience. I am sick to my stomach about how poorly they treated my equipment and would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.
I’ve been to a lot of music stores, and let me tell ya, avoid the this at all costs. Prices are High, equipment is below average, and the customer service is a joke. If you don’t mind paying top prices for sub standard gear and having to staff look down at you like you owe them something well this is the place for you . Two thumbs down
16. Sound Conservatory
Address: 1600 2nd Ave, Rock Island, IL 61201 , Henderson County , Illinois , United States
This is a beautiful addition to downtown Rock Island. Andrzej has created a real gem of a music studio. It is warm, inviting, and brightly lit with a remarkable grand piano. The lesson rooms are cozy, and there is a closed circuit camera system so parents can watch their kids as they have a private lesson. I like to sit in the big over sized chair, have a complimentary cup of coffee while my daughter takes her piano lesson. Andrzej is so kind, gentle, and encouraging to her. She loved it so much, and was learning so much, that I decided to take lessons too! After 30 years away from a piano I am absolutely loving my lessons! Plus they plan on having monthly concerts to support music scholarship for local students. I would give 6 stars if google let me!
What started out as diving into lessons after a break of twenty plus years has also led to a piano purchase from Andrzej. I’m having a blast learning and being challenged in my lessons. Once Andrzej knew I was in the market for a piano, but not very confident, he took time to show me what to look for. I did my research and decided to purchase from him. I’m so glad I did. He so passionate about returning each piano to their former glory.
When I messaged Andrzej on FB marketplace, I had no idea this wonderful shop existed in Rock Island! So glad we found this lovely music store. Super friendly and helpful staff!

Great experience with my daughter’s guitar lessons here!
Outstanding! Stop in an visit the store or just call them! Great customer service, cool items, and wonderful people. Lots of laughs and smiles. Need something fixed, need to rent one, want to buy one, need a new book on how or what to play, and much much more. Let them set you up or save your behind and get you playing music again with the needed repairs. Call and set up lessons and have fun! Nice location and right in our beautiful downtown and easy to find. Thanks True Audio! 🙂
Love it! My son is taking guitar lessons, and my daughter is taking piano lessons. Great place.
