Thanks for all the help!!! Will be back!!! If you have questions about guitars or related items they have the answer!!! WCAetc
Mark did an outstanding job setting up my mandolin. The action is dialed in perfectly. Very happy with it.
Guy knows stuff and applies it well.
Took the specific info with us, bass guitar make and model, and he ordered a case for delivery by Christmas. It came in and it wasn’t nearly the size needed. He implied that the fact we got the wrong case is our fault. Hmmmm. Not a good experience.
Expected better with all the, “Mark knows his stuff reviews.”
Showed up at 10am on a Friday when shop was supposed to open. Doors were locked and no one showed up while we waited. I suggest you call ahead to make sure they are actually open during the times they say they are.

Wonderful customer service. Beth went out of her way to make this transaction as easy and pleasant as possible. Thank you for your amazing service. The product’s price was very competitive as well.
Ian is very knowledgeable and nice.
Staff is helpful and they have lots of instruments to view. One bad thing is that they always seem to make you feel like they are waiting for you to steal something. I realize there is lots of theft that happens but you don’t need to follow me around while I browse.
Very helpful staff was able to guide me right to the different snare heads needed making it a quick and easy stop!
Every single time I come here it’s nothing but problems. Being misled by an employee on a price of an instrument. After calling the day before getting one price, to going there getting another price, and then her calling back and giving me yet another price. To finally I had to just sign up for something because I was told they didn’t have any available. Was told today they have books and now they don’t have any available.. They basically couldn’t tell me when or where they could get another. I highly suggest going to another store.
*update*- the owner took care of all of my issues and is addressing the problem. Nice to see people still care!
This place will go the way of the rock shop if they keep treating customers like suspects.
It was not like this at the Stevenson location.
7. Springfield Piano Academy
Address: 2130 Lindsay Rd, Leland Grove, IL 62704 , Leland Grove , Illinois , United States
For out of towners this is the one to spend your time. The rest are fine people , but here you have the room browse (not squirm threw paths of equipment getting to what you want to look at), chat with the staff or be left alone, and competitive prices (like guitar center ).
Stopped in today to check out some pianos for my daughter. I was dressed in work clothes (covered in paint, looking homeless)and if I’m being honest, I expected to be ignored. Not only was the store very welcoming regardless of my unkempt appearance, but Larry spent at least 30 minutes chatting with me and explaining all of my options in great detail. I can’t even put into words how helpful he was, for a non pianist like myself. I am super impressed with this store and will be going back soon to buy a piano.
Everybody is really helpful. Great selection of guitars. Got one for me and my daughter.
Slightly expensive, but very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Nice store plenty of gear in stock , staff was pleasant , prices were reasonable and they even had some used instruments for cheapskate s like me hahaa I will go back and give them some business, even though online shopping may save you a few nickel s or couple bucks shopping local and having our local business s right down the street is well worth it to me .
Friendly,has most anything
I am giving two stars because Matt Waldhoff took the time to speak with us in the store. Other than that, I’m not impressed. We were going to consign an expensive Clavinova with them. Upon looking at the contract emailed to us they wanted 40% of the price it sold for, which was satisfactory with us. What was not satisfactory was even thought they only charged $100 to pick-up the clavinova it appeared from the contract they wanted $100 to deliver it to the new owners. Also, they would take no responsibility for any damage that may occur to the unit while it was in their hands. As we had questions regarding that contract we contacted Matt Waldhoff two times via email, asking him to clarify certain aspects of the contract. He never responded back so I assumed they did not want our business. I ended up selling the clavinova on my own and kept the 40% they would otherwise have received. It is inexcusable to not return emails to clarify a contract and I can only assume he took offense that we had questions regarding a contract where they took the profit, but absolutely no responsibility for damage.
The guest experience was alright, but after going in, and returning my item the staff took my return and assured me it was completed, I left and enjoyed the day, more than a week later and I have discovered the staff I talked to must have processed my return improperly since I have never received my refund on my bank statement and when I tried to call in to get the situation corrected I was told they could not find my transaction. Edit… The owner has personally reached out to me and has worked to correct the situation.
went to get my guitar set up and it came back out of tune, disappointed to say the least, reading other reviews it appears the staff might need more technical experience or organization
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.
I usually have bad experiences at Hardee’s but this one was great! great service great food and GREAT inside! it was so amazing I took so many pix and videos!! I was absolutely amazed by all the beautiful nostalgic decorations!

17. Rock Star Professional Photo Booth by Music Source
Address: 901 S Grand Ave W, Springfield, IL 62704 , Leland Grove , Illinois , United States
Jon and his staff went above and beyond on our wedding day. The photo booth was a hit at our wedding and the attendants at the booth did an awesome job! If you’re thinking about getting a photo booth, this is the one!! We received a photo album with all of the prints in them which doubles as a guestbook! We also received a thumb drive with all of the pictures and prints!
They did an awesome job with the photo booth at my wedding! The photo booth was well managed and the staff was friendly. The booth can be opened to hold larger groups. All the guest get a copy of the picture and it can also be emailed to them. The background of the photo was custom made to what I wanted. There were many great props to choose from and the props were displayed neatly on a table. The photo memory book is a great keepsake and the book is great quality. Also, I got a flash drive of all the photos to make as many copies as I want. Great service and very nice to work with. I am a very satisfied customer. 🙂 Thanks Rock Star Photo Booth
THE PHOTOBOOTH WAS AMAZING! I have received so many compliments on how awesome and fun it was! I have loved looking through our book, and can’t wait to look for the complimentary USB drive we got of all the pictures. I love that you have an e-mail option to e-mail the picture directly to you. The customization of the layout was awesome, I love that we were able to make it our own and match our theme. JR. even went above and beyond and matched the font to the font we had been using throughout the rest of our signage and invitations!!
The only regret I have is not being able to get in it even more! Luckily, I was able to get in it a few times! That just wasn’t enough! I will always recommend these services to all my friends in the future for any events they will have!!!

I really love this place for discovering new and obscure artist. The price for most are under $10 even finding many for $3-5. Staff is always friendly.
Wonderful shop! Very organized. Everyone working seems to love their job!
The center of a subculture Utopia. All for the love of music. Friendly people, I hope to see it grow and flourish.
heard about this place will stop by
just started getting into vinyl
I was bored but my mom and dad Loved it
Awful customer service called to ask about a record and was basically yelled at for asking if they had a particular record in stock I do not recommend this place.
Why do you owners hate it when the same person comes in every day to buy records? Why do you have an attitude about that?
The same thing in Springfield illinois
