Great inventory. They sold me a nice PRS Guitar for a fair price. TY!
Great selection, awesome collection of vintage equipment!
Always fair prices!
They generally have the best used stock in Birmingham, lots of great vintage pieces, really just lots of stuff. However, they are not online, not even something as simple as a stock list. it’s really disappointing because I would like to shop and but from them, but it is not easy to get to their location (middle of downtown area, near the hospitals and trendy eating, so lots of traffic). I would buy so much more stuff from them if they would put up anything that simply listed their current stock. I can’t call them and say “hey man, list all of your guitars and conditions for me” every few day, and I am not about to drive 60 minutes from my suburb on a whim. Although I would be up there like a shot if there was an online presence/list, and there was something I wanted. But, since I never know what is up with that place or their stock, and gas is $$$, I just occasionally go, and rarely purchase. Great store, but 4 stars for no way of knowing stock ahead of a long drive through terrible traffic.
Great selection of vintage guitars and amplifiers. New equipment also.
My kinda music store. Classic amps and guitars. Helpful staff
Very condscending and not friendly to younger people. Im not a know it all but some of the stuff the man was talking about wasnt correct. Rather go to bailey brothers theyre friendly and very nice
Twice treated very rudely by staff. I’m over it.
Let’s just say that my kind ain’t welcome
3. Bailey Brothers Music Company
Address: 4673 US-280 Suite # 7, Birmingham, AL 35242 , Highland Lakes , Alabama , United States
Easily the best music store in Bham. Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always have what I need!
Great people, great deals, great customer service! Whether you’re buying online or in person, you’ll be glad you shopped with these guys. I have done business with them for a long time, just bought a new Fender Strat and couldn’t be more pleased with the product and the service, they always go above and beyond. I will definitely return, like I always have.
Great customer service and selection. Not pushy or over bearing when shopping. Sold my electric and bought a great bass and will be back again!
Good service. Knowledgeable staff. Wish there was one closer to us!
This place is awesome, need customer service? DONE! Need a repair? DONE! Need to place an order? DONE! The only thing I did not like was the lack of extended range instruments. You will not be finding fanned fret, 28 fret, tap guitar, etc. You want those go to WARR guitars or order them off of a musicians website.
Great customer service. Great selection. However, I was NOT thrilled to see their logo custom printed onto the snare head I bought. Would have received 5 stars if not for that. Going to remove it with some acetone.
manager and owner very racist!
No stars really. Not a very good merchant. Let someone use my credit card number without the card! Be careful!
I left my guitar with this store in February 2012 for a simple repair. In June it was still hanging waiting for them to repair. I had been told on multiple occasions that it would be ready in just a few days. I picked it up today June 24, 2012 and no repair has been done and I was still charged a bench fee. This place sucks. I will never go in there again. Good luck if you do.

Excellent customer service! They were so helpful with fixing my son’s guitar and went above and beyond to make sure his guitar was fixed and tuned! Adina and Tim both helped us so much and were especially kind!
5. Homewood Musical Instrument Co
Address: 1712 28th Ave S, Homewood, AL 35209 , Highland Lakes , Alabama , United States
Great inventory and reasonable prices, and the shop is run by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Found a hidden gem of a guitar while I was there with my dad and love it very much!
Good product, Good service.
Friendly atmosphere and lots of instruments.
I’ve never dealt with someone so rude over the phone. The owner tried to guilt me with sarcasm and acted like victim when I questioned a price. Full story: I asked to order a cello string. All was going well (owner answered questions about speed of shipping and availability of the string), but then he quoted a price ($81) that was far above what other shops charge. I said respectfully that “I’ve purchased the string for $45 at other walk-in shops” and he became sarcastic and argumentative with me, claiming he was “holding my hand” through the process, and said “Well, I have to pay $35 for this string so what do YOU think is fair for ME to make? $15? What is 35 + 15, huh? Ohhh, maybe $50 is more than you can afford?” A simple, “well this is my price” would have been fine as a response from him, but I felt disrespected so I hung up and decided I’m never going to spend a dime Homewood Musical Instrument Co. I advise everyone else to steer clear of this shop and the guy who owns it.
6. Mason Music

Wonderful place for kids to learn music. Diverse knowledge base. Great instructors.
I’ve recently started taking piano lessons at Mason Music with Gabe and thoroughly enjoy it. It’s been a wonderful experience and would highly recommend. The lessons are 45 minutes and go by so quickly!
7. SoundWaves

Great prices and willing to work with any budget. Highly recommend.
Stephan is great. He has fair prices and is very helpful.Ive bought and sold guitars and equipment with him since he was in Odenville and always been pleased with the service I’ve gotten.
Staff was excellent!!! Looks small on the outside but the store was full of great (used) gear – Marshall, Fender, Music Man, Line 6. Ovation, and much more. Lots of sound reinforcement stuff too. Prices looked reasonable. I was told that the stock rotates pretty fast too.Stop by and check ’em out.
cool place. cool staff. good deals on stuff you might not see every day.
They don’t have guitar strings.
First time in shop and they have a good selection of speaker cabinets, amps and mixers as well as guitars. Plus they take trade in’s on purchases.
8. Ellis Piano & Organ
Address: 1550 Montgomery Hwy suite a, Birmingham, AL 35216 , Highland Lakes , Alabama , United States
My family and I were so excited to purchase our first digital piano and the experience of buying it at Ellis just contributed to that. David, our sales rep, asked us some simple questions about our playing experience and goals and helped us find a great entry-level piano that suits our needs. We’re really pleased with our purchase and will return when we’re ready to upgrade!
Love this place. Meet the father and sons. They all were very helpful. I made several visits before deciding. No pressure. My second purchase from Ellis Piano. The church also made a purchase from them.
my experience was questionable. they decide who they want …
The staff was friendly, and they have tons of pianos and other equipment to choose from. The space is enormous, and is fun to just browse. They also do repairs. Call or stop by for any musical needs. Would go again.
Nice, helpful staff
