Discover the top 5 music shops in McHenry

Tons of cool stuff.

Helpful and has a great selection of music and equipment

Would highly recommend! I came in after knocking the stylus off my record player. They offered multiple options & ultimately were able to replace & balance it on the spot. Most importantly they didn’t make me feel dumb for my limited knowledge of the player. They also have a HUGE record collection & a very cute store kitten 🙂

Awsome!

If you want old vinyl you need to visit this record shop!

Organization is a bit random, staff is nice. Selection is ok.

Anyone who says they have fair pricing clearly has never been to any other record store. Please do go there look around and then try Reef Records down the road or Black Circle records in Lake Geneva (well worth the trip). You will never go back here again

I cannot stand places that don’t price upfront. I would spend all day at this place digging if they were clear on their prices. Instead they will look up each one online to see what to charge. Make sections, $1.00, $3.00, so on. To the owner, this is constructive criticism. Maybe I’ll give this place another chance if I’m in the area. Thanks

Good selection but the few times I was in there the younger guy working never once greeted me or acknowledged my presence in the store felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable just figured he was a hipster and I wasn’t the demographic he wants so I won’t be returning until different staff is hired, reef records in lakemoore has so much more friendly and helpful service actually found what I was looking for there so if you hire people who actually interact with the customer you’ll get more business

Rocco was a pleasure to work and his communication was exceptional. I purchased a set of Tympani from him. His price was very competitive and the drums are great! My little brother knows Rocco personally and he is always a blast to be around. Percussion is Rocco’s passion and his store is a gift to the community! Rocco is well educated and can help anyone from beginner to career professional. I learned he also offers lessons and rentals so chances are, if you are into percussion, he can help you!

Had a awesome experience at Rocco Z music! Rocco was very friendly and very helpful during my time visiting. I rented a xylophone and it is a great quality product with great rates. Awesome selection of percussion equipment and mallets. Would recommend visiting and purchasing from Rocco Z music!!

We have rented a marimba for the last 2 years from Rocco Z Music. Beautiful instrument. They came in and set it up and are great for keeping in touch and keeping us up-to-date with the rental agreement. Highly recommend!

Hasn’t returned any emails or phone calls. Answered the phone once. Said he’d get back to me after the school season started. Crickets

This place has everything. Vinyl, cds, great prices. Definitely a must stop there when in mchenry.

So many great albums. Too many albums to see at one visit. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. I’m going to be a regular customer. Thanks Tim.

Buy here and support local business! The owner is passionate about what he does and is always willing to go an extra mile to help people find what they are looking for. He also dedicates SO much of his time helping out the community in any way he can. I highly recommend stopping by and checking this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

Really good selection of rock vinyl in all sorts of condition – from “I just want to listen to it” to pristine collectors. Not so good on in areas other than rock. Almost no blues, classical or jazz in the place.

Good selection. Decent prices.

a nice local music store. offering hard to find physical media based music and being one of the very few places where you can still purchase vinyl.

Real bummer- back wall FULL of 45s but they won’t even let you look thru any of them and said they won’t get to them for months.
Not the best customer interface. If you want 45s go somewhere else!

Only looking for Rock..

Sucks

Both gentlemen were helpful and courteous while getting my daughter her instrument.

I’ve been to the other places around McHenry for instrument repairs because I heard they were cheaper. Boy do you get what you pay for. I had to fix my instrument a few times at other places. Finally I wised up and went to Mike’s Brass and Woodwind. He gave a fair estimate and did solid work and repaired it the first time. Mike was very knowledgable and did great work. Would recommend again!

Store had a wide selection of many instruments, staff was kind and helpful.

Alway great serive great store

You would of thought they would be more customer oriented. They didn’t seem interested that we even came in.

From the moment I stepped foot into the store, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff at Mike’s Brass and Woodwind were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about music. Their dedication and expertise were evident in every interaction, making my experience truly memorable.
What sets Mike’s Brass and Woodwind apart from other stores is their commitment to personalized service. The staff took the time to understand my specific requirements and guided me in choosing the perfect instrument that matched my skill level and musical preferences. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made a world of difference in my decision-making process.
Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised by the store’s dedication to ensuring the instruments are in top-notch condition. Each instrument was meticulously maintained and showcased its true potential. The store also provides a wide range of accessories and spare parts, ensuring that musicians have everything they need to enhance their playing experience.
The combination of a welcoming ambiance, a vast array of instruments, knowledgeable staff, and a commitment to excellence makes this store a treasure trove for music enthusiasts.

We went to fix, my trumpet, they didnt, they actually made it lead to a broken trumpet, now we need a new trumpet, and we dont know where to go!
