Very friendly and helpful staff. David and company are there to help you find exactly what you want. Feel free to sit a spell and try the instruments or just visit with the folks. You never know who will be there – maybe new friends!
If you’re near Cedaredge, you MUST go to Starr’s! The owner is a music legend! No matter your music level, the experience will be a positive one.
A beautiful shop with unique high quality guitars. Candace was great showing Matthew and I wonderful music accessories and instruments!
Still Super Good!
Overpriced
3. Hart Music
Address: 417 Main St, Grand Junction, CO 81501 , Olathe , Colorado , United States
Proud to call this my local music store, even though I live 300 miles away. It’s worth the trip, I make it weekly! Love these guys!!
Having ventured across the country in pursuit of rarities, few music stores carry the selection that hart has. Not to mention more the 60 years of expertise of all things sound and music.
Music plays a heart-full role in our lives and Hart Music helps keep that happening. Because you play music, they love you here. The owners want you to visit and work out the thinking in what instruments and fixins you need from weight and length of drum stick to guitar strings, amp cords… You might just need a little ukulele too.
This is a deep natural spiritual culture background store. It exists before the red slickrock formations around the area and has deeper roots than dinosaurs.
Friendly.
Good local music store
Good local business. Bought some headphones and wireless headset mic from them. Had a little bit of a mix up but they were helpful and took care of the issue. Good local business. Recommend.
Was sold a keyboard being told by the salesman it had a USB port to hook it up to the computer, write music with it and that it had touch sensitive keys. Wrapped it up as a gift for the daughter. When she opened it, we were telling her how she could hook it up to her computer and she was really excited. Then she started playing it, no touch sensitive keys or USB port. The very reason we bought it. So disappointing. We took it back, were told so sorry, our mistake. You can buy this one for 50.00 more that has everything you want and when you want to trade that one in, we’ll give you a great deal on it. We paid 172.00 for the keyboard at Harts music….I found it on Amazon, same keyboard for 99.00. Wish I would have checked Amazon first. Will not be going back to Harts Music totally took advantage of our ignorance in keyboards.
Bought a bass before I had a cell phone.
Was marked $1200, scratched out, marked $800, scratched out marked $600. Nice bass, thought it was a good deal. Missing hard case so got a soft case instead.
Found out later the retail price is $400.
Deceptive pricing.
Not impressed! My first experience with this shop, I brought an old acoustic in for some setup work after I switched to lighter strings. I did a neck adjustment but still had e string buzzing and a b string ring. I needed a new nut, and & bridge adjustment, fret leveling too which I explained, but Jan absolutely is clueless I guess all he heard was “string change”. I have a bunch of guitars I can do basic work on them and I’ve been changing my own strings for 30 years! but Jan promised me a pro would look at it and contact me to discuss the repairs. They shined me for a week, never tried to contact me as I promised, then all they did was change my strings (and they even put the wrong ones on!). Now all the strings buzz! So I’m right back where I started. I’m local too & gave them every chance, they failed miserably.
4. Blue Mesa Music Store
Address: 132 N Main St, Gunnison, CO 81230 , Olathe , Colorado , United States
Thank you Matt for getting my little Fender set up so well. I really do hear hints of Buddy Guy now when I play. I appreciate having you as a local resource, mentor and friend. PS..Christine says a big, deep hello.
Blue Mesa Music is Class Act store!! I have never felt so welcome in store as I did with Blue Mesa. The staff and owner are all gifted musicians whom are passionate with their profession. Blue Mesa is a “come in, kick off your shoes and play a melody or two. My family sat, played a beautiful 12 string (purchased), deep, rich Cajone (purchased), rattle (purchased) and sang (owned) for well over an hour topped off by Amelia singing and playing a song for us. Blue Mesa Music was one the highlights of Summer of 2022 !
Music is a Rx for PTSD . I got my fix here❤️
ALL THE GUITARS ARE SET-UP AND IN TUNE!!!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, but not even a little pushy. Usually when you walk into a boutique guitar store, you feel like you have to make small talk with the owner and have to try to escape the encounter to actually look at things. They paid me just the right amount of attention, letting me browse and answering questions. They had no qualms with me playing a $300 squier (again, set-up AND in tune!) or the $4k vintage Martin casually hanging on the wall. Great place to spend some time and some money!
5. Telluride Music Company
Address: 333 W Colorado Ave, Telluride, CO 81435 , Olathe , Colorado , United States
I had an unforgettable experience at this store. What an incredible place. This review will sound fake unless you go see for yourself!
Never before have I been inside a music shop in which the discovery process was as relaxed and inspiring as my visit to Telluride Music Company during June 2020. Warren and Tom exuded such command on their knowledge of the instruments. I felt completely comfortable during the process. Came in for a good intro mandolin. Although the shop’s high-end mandolins were beyond my level, Warren/Tom answered all my questions and recommended the direction I should go. Explored their Martin guitars while in the shop and was guided to and was happiest with a Martin 00-16 to complement my Martin dreadnought. Great service, guidance and advice. Highly recommend.
Great service and selection. Also have rad vynls!
