Get a hold of your instruments tuned up to sound great
Good assortment of musical instruments and accessories. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Not in the best part of old town.
Good music store and they have everything you need.
Your website says you are open. So I drove into town. You’re closed. Yes covid 19. But update your site plz so that people don’t drive to eureka only to realize it was a waste of time and gas.
I have a very expensive Martin D-42 and binding was loosed in a small area. I took my guitar in a guitar shop in Arcata. But they had referred me to a professional luthier. I went Mantova’s Two Street Music thinking it could be an easy fix. They had glued the binding but damaged the finish and leaving other marks on my guitar. The glue that they used specifically mentioned careful about damaging the finish. They had denied the damage and claimed the condition was pre existed. Be extremely careful dealing with this shop especially if you have high end instruments. Don’t leave your instrument with them. Their integrity is questionable.
NEVER SHOP HERE!!WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
Anthony sold my autistic son a crap guitar and when it kept breaking they actually told him it was his fault because he didnt know how to play. He has been taking lessons for 3 years and is very good and has 3 orher guitars with no problems. They discouraged my autistic kid from music, the only thing that makes him happy, and should be ashamed of themselves.
Our son is 10 and is currently taking drum lessons with Aaron. Our son’s experience has been wonderful. Aaron does really well with coaching, teaching and having fun with him. Aaron has taught him beats and rhythms that baffle both my husband and I. Aaron incorporates the use of a phone app during the lesson to help our son practice between lessons as well. The best part that we, as parents, love is that he holds our son accountable. He has supportive, respectful, but firm conversations with our son, letting him know that he can tell when our son has not practiced or is not putting forth his best effort. Above all else, Aaron is an excellent communicator, great with children, and an awesome musician. We would highly recommend him!
In my 50’s, I decided I wanted to learn how to play the drums to all my favorite Classic Rock songs. Aaron has been helping me achieve this for almost five years and is a fantastic instructor. Not only can I play many of my favorites, but I have learned how to read music, select and care for my equipment, and take my love of music to a new level. I highly recommend him!
I’ve been going to North Coast Music studio for only a couple of months since moving here and I have to say it’s amazing! I take violin and piano with Kristin, who’s an amazing teacher! She knows exactly how to spot my weak points and helps me so much in a very proactive and productive way while still having so much fun! She’s also very encouraging and positive of my good points in lessons which l believe leads to a very holistic and well rounded teaching and learning experience. Such a reward to have found this awesome place and teacher! I’ve also noticed that the teachers here are really great at making the instrument seem “cool,” which is important to the younger ones. Because they are cool!! Music lessons are better than therapy in my opinion!
Is this place even still open it would be nice to have the hours you guys are open.
6. Friends Of Sound Records Eureka
Address: 335 E St, Eureka, CA 95501 , Humboldt Hill , California , United States
More people should know about this place! Quality vinal, hard to find records and good rock and roll baby!!!
Nice store with friendly owner (and dog). First thought it was on the expensive side for jazz records until I noticed another jazz section in the middle which also had great items but at lower prices. So likely there was a different mid-tier and high-tier section.
friends of sound is a good record store filled with all sorts of classic rock to Jazz and the avant guard too!
7. Wildwood Music Co
Address: 1027 I St, Arcata, CA 95521 , Humboldt Hill , California , United States
Needed a guitar case fast. Got one cheaper than expected and a great conversation to go along with it! I will definitely be coming back for my music needs!
The staff here is very welcoming and accommodating. I was given a huge discount on parts for my kiddos guitar and got to talk a bit to the person behind the counter. I love their selection of guitar-like instruments. I would highly recommend coming here if you have questions about getting started with music.
Thanks for helping me out, Nicholas! This shop is awesome.
I played my horn there.
Great staff
Pretty good but they don’t always have what you need.
Do not come here for electric instrument repairs. When I brought my bass in, I was simply told that my issue was non-existent. After I came in and demonstrated my instrument’s issue, the repairman instructed me to buy a specific input jack from the manufacturer’s website. Then when I brought the new input jack to the repairman he told me that I bought the wrong kind of jack. He offered to buy the part off me. Afterward, I called the manufacture website and discovered that I had actually bought the right part, and the repairman was incorrect. I brought my bass in again, where he claimed to have fixed the issue. But this was only temporary – my instrument is experiencing the same issue it had several months ago. I am not sure if this repairman is inexperienced or if he just blew me off.
Several friends have told me similar stories about this character from New York. I am disappointed because I’ve heard great things about the other luthier who works through this establishment.
I’ve been there 4 times since moving here.. just sucks.. over priced and very limited and you cant get any help shopping.they lost mega cash cuz they wouldnt even talk to me.try 2 street in eureka they sold me a few nice guitars at a really great price and…customer service lol..it’s really for college kids not real musicians.
Excellent performer. Had the pleasure of meeting James at a restaurant where he was the featured artist. Wonderful voice, good songs, and a kind person. Hoping to hear the trio again soon!
9. The Works
Address: 434 2nd St, Eureka, CA 95501 , Humboldt Hill , California , United States
The place has a kind of atmosphere that is no longer exist in record stores. I just wanted to stay forever…
Good selection of music and a very knowledgeable helpful staff.
Pretty good music shop, they dont have too much of a diverse range of music. (next to no metal albums). If your into jazz, or blues this is your place. If your into Heavy Metal like me, go to People’s Records in arcata
Looked specifically for The Blues Music. They had a large selection. Owner, Bandit, can give you information on any music you are looking for. He’s a great guy.
It’s a great shop and I always look forward to going there when I’m in the area. I’ve picked up some great things in there. The only knock I have is the lack of consistent hours.
Despite it was supposed to be open until 6pm on Saturdays, place was closed before 5. So Works did not work anymore. Adjusting opening times would a good idea.
I like when in addition to individual instrument lessons, they offer band practice too. Thank you, Eureka Music School!!
I highly recommend Eureka Music School! Brian, the owner, and all his staff are amazing! They are all very kind and welcoming to all ages of learners and are just really excellent at teaching in a way that uniquely helps you learn as an individual.
Thank you all for offering such quality music lessons to the Humboldt community!
Such a sweet and wonderful person, with a great talent and anointing…He can teach everything! Thank you Felix!
A Luthier you can trust! His skills exceed expectations when it comes to repair or custom builds. Very knowledge in the field and understands all aspects of Luthiery
Mr. Paige’s work speaks for itself. His unmatched attention to detail is exactly why he has been my go-to luthier for years. I highly recommend his services – but only if you want it done right.
Mr. Paige has worked on several of my basses. The projects have varied from wood craftsmanship to electronic modifications. All of the work has been completed timely, priced fairly, and professionally with no cost overruns. Mr. Paige has provided outstanding professional advice. I highly recommend Mr. Paige and will certainly use his services in the future.

Address: 3300 Broadway St, Eureka, CA 95501 , Humboldt Hill , California , United States
Love their store, all kinds of great movies, music, and entertainment.
I don’t know if I remember this place
It’s cool. Super informative staff.
Ok place not enuff anime selection and ended up not getting anything because the prices for new anime are way to high + they didn’t have all the episodes like 5, 6, and 7 for 65$ and 14, 15, 16 it’s like a bad joke. Not a good place for anime. Staff seems chill and they do have a lot of movies, it’s probably a good place for movies but sadly they didn’t have some of the top rated most famous anime moves.
Great selections
I just stop by to buy a movie The Vision Of Escaflowne for $140 and this guy don’t even bother to check he is like I never heard of it and he ignore me, I literally have to tell him if he didn’t want to help me if he can get someone who could help me, then he decide to help me and so bad customer service from this guy , I bet for employees like this is why people decide to go online
Expensive
