has great items, everytime im in there i see something new great staff
Awesomely large collection of rare and historic musical instruments stacked floor to ceiling. It’s one of the rare old shops where you can browse and hear the history of instrument companies you have never seen before. Strong on guitars, bass guitars and amps. Also some stage equipment, brass and orchestra.
Great little mom n pop shop
Old school music store. Lots of old school gear. A very wide selection of gear for just about every type of musician. Prime place to find used gear on the cheap, and the occasional exquisite piece. Bob is pretty cool, he can run sound well, he can repair gear and install P.A. equipment. Solid local store in downtown Vincennes.
Friendly staff and wide, but odd selection. Pretty cool store!
Went in to look for a les paul. Found an epiphone uses for almost $700 dollars. Most of the equipment seems to be in rough condition and overpriced
I lived at a Christian ministry just off Campus in 2002, when a lot of the Church music equipment was stolen. A few weeks later my bass was found at Kemp. Kemp said he bought from a guy who wouldn’t be involved in such an action. He’d have to check. Kemp said he’d call me and tell me what he found out. Never did. In Jan 3, 2003 to 2005 my unit was activated for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I’m here 20 years later thinking how I was taken advantage off. I should have went to the police. I don’t want money. I don’t want equipment. I just wanted to say my peace.

Informative and helpful. Excellent shopping experience.
I really enjoyed the store. Nicely curated instruments. Mom and pop store. Solid prices and knowledgeable. I bought a Schecter Omen 6 from there and haven’t regretted it.
Very Friendly
Bad business
5. Redbox
Address: 2610 W Haven Rd, Lawrenceville, IL 62439 , Lawrence County , Illinois , United States
Workers are always nice and understanding and there’s always a wonderful variety of things to buy
Love this place! Summer has a variety of new and old clothes, furniture, accessories and my favorite ANTIQUES! If your ever in the area you should stop in. Owners are very kind and curtious! A wonderful family ran thrift shop.
I like this shop, it’s clean, and always has something new.
Went to have lunch today and watched a manger yelling at an employee because the mop she was using slid from where she tried to prop it up and proceeds to tell her to leave all the while her kid is sitting in the lobby unattended IV never seen such a lack in professional behavior the owners should really take more pride in there Restaurant and how it is Presented to the public eye.
Tryed to order food for my children and workers they wanted me to pull forward we had things to get done so I said I will wait here on my food they asked me to leave I said after I get my food I will then threatened to call the law place is a joke!
This McDonald’s recently reopened after forced closing by health department. So far, looks like they’re trying extra hard at customer service.
10. Record Cellar Audio Video
Address: 427 Main St, Vincennes, IN 47591 , Lawrence County , Illinois , United States
A great independent record store with fantastic selection of vinyl.
So helpful and nice. If they don’t have it they will try to get it for you. Resonable too.
Great selection of new vinyl. Record Cellar is a Vincennes staple and its always great to see a local business still having it’s doors open.
One of the last real record stores. This place actually has character, and hard copies of good music. They always did installs on car audio equipment and they are a ticket Master and live nation box office as well. The employees are friendly and they know who is playing where and when. A staple of Main Street Vincennes.
Good, wide selection of cd’s, tapes and records but I feel like they are geared more towards the later years like 2000’s and back. There isn’t much good ‘new music’ that I saw when I went there but I will still go there because they can order anything you dont find there (even if you can get it cheaper on ebay) shopping local is still a great way to help build a growing business like the record cellar and it’s great that they will work with you to find what you’re looking for even if its band posters or memorabilia.
Very laid back and relaxing environment. And the owner is very nice and helpful
I wouldn’t buy anything from there if it was the only place on earth!
seems to do the least they can when hooking up a stereo.
Bad place if you’re in the market for car audio
11. Kountryreds Retail store
Address: 3344 W Mary Roberts Dr, Princeton, IN 47670 , Lawrence County , Illinois , United States
it was so horrible; it doesn’t even deserve any stars. it’s not even a music store; it’s an abandoned hoarder’s trailer that’s so overgrown you can barely see the porch. do not go there
12. SandSLLC
Address: 818 N 12th St, Vincennes, IN 47591 , Lawrence County , Illinois , United States
Affordable instruments, associates that are both knowledged and caring in tge musical empathies, and lessons. Great place.
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.
Great customer service
Average music store
The website says its open till 5 on Saturday not 3
Good prices
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.

17. Byassee Music and Sound
Address: 521 W Main St, Marion, IL 62959 , Lawrence County , Illinois , United States
I was wondering if you gave bass clarinet lessons?
This is an awesome local store with a good selection of musical instruments and the store has an amazing staff that will help you with any and all problems you have.
An awesome music store located inside of a historical building! Great atmosphere, service, and prices! I purchased my first Fender guitar from Byassee in November of last year. I showed up while it was still being setup and had a great conversation with their guitar tech. (He’s got the best job in the world lol.) anyway, he worked with me on the price of the guitar and even threw in a free case with it so I had something to carry it home in. Would highly recommend. Huge selection! Thank you, Byassee, for all of the great service and smiles you provided along the way.
Really nice people, just very overpriced
Very friendly and helpful. Nice to still have a brick and mortar music store in the area.
Best place ever to me
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
18. Perks Music
Address: 502 E 13th St, Centralia, IL 62801 , Lawrence County , Illinois , United States
They are always kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Place is always clean and stocked. Lovely business!
Bought a Telecaster there today for my son. They treated us like royalty. We couldn’t believe how nice and helpful they were. They will be getting all of my business from now on. Thanks Mayberry Music.
I really enjoyed the customer service. Employees were really helpful and professional
Buy guitars and strings there sometime.
I am definitely a fan of Mayberry Music And Sound. As a banjo player, I do want to say that they are quite a bit over priced on their banjos and their banjos are not set up correctly. So I would not recommend getting a banjo set up there. Other than that, they are very good if your buyingan instrument from them.
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
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.
