The new owners are great, and they carry V-Picks! It’s still a quirky little store, which is great IMO.
Great store, knowledgeable owner
Great instructors and very helpful staff. They don’t make you feel silly because you are a beginner.
Real nice hometown music store
Tiny little shop. Nice owner though. Didn’t get much more than a tuner. Can’t really judge more.
I previously gave Soundcheck a great review but now I am not so sure. Yes, they guys are great there. But watch out for their prices. I was in a hurry last week and needed some basic acoustic strings. They charged me over $16. for the set and I didn’t think twice. But when I got home I realized they really should have been a lot les.
The MSRP on those strings is $6.99 Same price online or at most of the other local guitar shops.
So they charged me well over double for the same strings. I really want to support local business…but I am done with Sondcheck.

Awesome selection and really helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. I wanted to buy a new guitar for my wife, but not playing guitar myself they where able to help me find something really amazing. Excellent experience well worth the visit!
Great local music store, helpful staff , lessons and a neighborhood atmosphere.
Very knowledgeable staff. Friendly and efficient
Love it
Great guitar lessons. Great deals, they price match guitar center too! My son got a gorgeous electric guitar for Christmas to upgrade from his child-sized Ibanez, and the customer service was great.
To my surprise this lil mountain store was very well stocked with Fender strats and basses. A very nice selection of aucustic guitars. The staff was nice and friendly.
Yeah not too sure about that place I feel robbed every time I go in there, yeah of course there’s a lot of good stuff there but overall there wasn’t a chance for no stars they can have one I guess
Absolutely terrible service. POOR selection of instrument strings (they never buy them) They’ve fired their most charismatic workers. The owner/”manager” will ignore you if she’s on the phone. Had an amp in there for six months that was more broken when I got it back, than when I brought it in, due to their “guitar tech” Steve. Worst music store in North California, if I could give zero stars I would.
Over priced

Excellent selection of drums and many lovely items. Check out the morrocan tea glass selection as well. Always wonderful customer service. An absolute gem of a store!
The people that work there are friendly and prices are reasonable. Fun store!
Absolute gem of a store. It’s been open since 1996 (over 25 years!) and offers a collection of musical instruments and items from all over the world. Everyone who works here is so kind and easy to relate to. Go check it out!

Steve is the best certainly in Nevada County and beyond. I have experienced a number of good and mediocre guitar techs in my time and Steve is at the top with guys like Frank Ford – now retired – in Palo Alto.
Steve has worked on most all of my guitars 10 to 15/20 years past and as a testament to his expertise & professional handiwork with attention to detail I have not returned!!
thank you,
Steve!
Steve is an excellent luthier. Took my old twelve sting to him with a cracked neck and bubbled pick guard. I can’t find the crack now and he instlaled a new pick guard that’s better than the original. Could not recommend any higher.

Quality lessons at an affordable rate. Call Kenny Steel and learn how to play ANYTHING… except a banjo 🙂 Great music teacher with skills across the board a
Seeing Kenny’s students perform together, it’s clear that he has a solid program that works to bring out a diverse array of talents. Music lessons like this and the opportunity to perform are the sorts of things kids desperately need right now.
This place is the bees knees. Finally a music scene in our area that offers more than your typical music store. These guys are serious about music, and want to share the music love. Lessons, rehearsal space, shows, recording sessions, a store filled the the brim with unique and awesome instruments, super nice owners, what more could you want?
A Great helpful staff and a warm atmosphere was so nice and such an awesome addition to this small community. A++
Love this new place 🙂
My daughter does voice lessons here and she’s really loving it!
