Nice cozy little place and the employees seem nice.
Had everything I needed in stock
Helpful staff, and a lot of great stuff in store. I highly recommend this place!
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.
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.
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.
2. Love’s Travel Stop
Address: 202 North Ave, Ina, IL 62846 , Ina , Illinois , United States
Aaron & Kevin were very great with me took Care of my needs quick and efficient and had me back on the road in no time
I’m a Traveler, I have a dog (at the time puppy), the manager of the Love’s & the manager of the McDonald’s inside, told me that I, & my puppy, were going to sleep inside until I got a ride out.
I love them both.
The manager of the Love’s gave ‘Lil Luv a toy, and told her to ‘tear this up’
This is what’s left… LOL
That is her FAVORITE TOY… she has others, but that is HER TOY.
Best service and good attitude
Friendly people and place.
Very clean they didn’t have my steak and asiago bagel sandwich at this one so they weren’t perfect lol but all in all they were clean and the shelves were stocked and looking pleasant
Limited parking made even worse by the inconsiderate lazy pricks who like to park beside the scale because they don’t have the experience to back into a parking spot, no consideration for others. Other than that a very nice place to stop.
Below Average Loves
Bathrooms were ok, everything was semi clean, needs more attention to get more stars. No “hello” when we walked in, no employees on the floor.
The gates at the dog park are broken, won’t latch
Garbage needed to be emptied at pumps
Small pump area for the 5th wheel
Left my parking space to get fuel and start my shift at midnight this morning. Fuel lanes were a bit busy, but still, nothing out of the unusual. Pulled in behind another driver that had finished fueling and pulled up to the line. I got out to fuel. Meanwhile, another driver was waiting a bit back from the island, scoping out a lane that would be empty. Got done fueling and had to wait for the driver in front to pull off. This truck that was waiting pulls behind me before I’m even able to move and gets out. I figure, well she must have to use the bathroom really bad. No big deal. The driver in front of me finally pulls away, leaving me the ability to pull up to the line. I get out and go inside. No sooner than I get to the bathroom stall do I hear one of the employees in Loves get on the intercom telling a truck that they need to move. I didn’t really pay attention to the exact lane I was in and wasn’t sure that they were talking about my truck. I finish my business, go to wash my hands and my coffee cup, and go to make my coffee. On the intercom again, this time calling my company name out and that a tow truck was going to be there in ten minutes. I said out loud that I had only gotten there and that I had just fueled and was using the bathroom. The worker only replied that I needed to pull away and find a parking spot. I reminded her that it was midnight and that there was no parking and I only had to use the restroom and get coffee. She replied that “that’s not my problem…” Loves is usually such a great place, that’s why I try to exclusively fuel and stop there… But the shear lack of disrespect towards a driver who actually fueled while coddling an inpatient female driver who didn’t fuel is beyond inexcusable. Do better. We don’t deserve to be treated like scum. We’re people out here risking our lives and sacrificing our time so that everyone has the goods they need.
Totally agree with some comments here ! This store needs new management and new employees they don’t seems to be happy to be working there and don’t do their job
I absolutely love this store I have bought so many of my cds for church here these guys are very kind and definitely have the patience God gave Job ! We also bought a piano from them for our daughter to learn on. It is very nice and well worth the money!! God bless you all . If you need something they are right there to show you or order it for you. Thank you all
I was wondering if you gave bass clarinet lessons?
It is an excellent music store with almost anything you need for almost any instrument.
Had everything we needed.
Very friendly and helpful. Nice to still have a brick and mortar music store in the area.
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
6. Hart’s Music Center
Address: 331 E Poplar St, Harrisburg, IL 62946 , Ina , Illinois , United States
Neil, the gentleman that runs this store is top of the line, I’ve been to music stores where they act like they don’t want you to touch anything and some of this I understand, but I enjoyed the time I spent there and the prices were right, I will buy my next guitar from Neil
The best place to go for anything music related. They have an amazing staff and can pretty much fix anything. You will leave with your equipment repaired and looking and running brand new. Also great for accessories as well.
Bought several instruments from them. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Before you buy that cheap flute off craigslist. Give these guys a chance. They might be able to help you out.
Good prices
Average music store
The website says its open till 5 on Saturday not 3
Good stuff just could be better with details and price
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.
8. Perks Music
Address: 502 E 13th St, Centralia, IL 62801 , Ina , Illinois , United States
Clean, friendly, knowledgeable and a large inventory. Great prices. I will be using them for future items.
Great selection of guitars
Great guitar selection super friendly owners
I really enjoyed the customer service. Employees were really helpful and professional
Buy guitars and strings there sometime.
Decent music store, new contemporary keys not there.
I brought in a new guitar for warranty work, as they are a licensed dealer of this particular brand. They refused to perform the work because it “wasn’t worth the headache”. This was a guitar that I ordered thru them. I’ll take my business elsewhere, and you’d be well advised to do the same.
Mayberry is all you could ask for except a good customer experience. Massive selection but all prices are at the higher end and there is very little wiggle room even when trading up. You may find what you need but if you’re looking for some good conversation and a great shopping experience look elsewhere.
The employees here are very satisfied with themselves and have a “cork sniffer” vibe from their precious pedestals. They are all too happy to correct you when talking about instruments and there is a complete lack of a warm one-on-one personal experience. With Amazon’s prices there’s little reason to go here unless you can’t wait or need something immediately.
I have been consistently disappointed with the attitude of and experience from Mayberry’s over the years and recommend taking an extra thirty minutes to go elsewhere or use it as a showroom to purchase on Amazon. It’s just not a very fun experience and fun and music shops I thought were supposed to go hand in hand.
To pricey for old models
11. Cochran Guitars
Address: 8893 E 1200th Rd, Martinsville, IL 62442 , Ina , Illinois , United States
Excellent customer service! Really friendly, knowledge and helpful staff! I would definitely recommend using Cochrans!
Great prices, lathe selection for a local privately owned business
Awesome guitar selection amazing prices, and a really amazing Man at the head of it all.
Nice selection of beginner to intermediate guitars. Very personable owner with a lot of knowledge. Great to have in a small town.
What a wonderful great place. Great selection guitars. Courteous, kind, great prices. This is a place where someone really only cares about the musician and guitarist themselves. This establishment understands what it means to be a musician in the guitarist and work with anyone the best they can. I would give this business more stars but there’s only so many stars to give on this review I Give It 2 Thumbs Up and I mean way up!
