They serviced my grandparents organ back in 1981 (that’s how I found them). Mr. Cardoza was very courteous and professional. I’d use him again for any organ work.
The best professional in the Calkey for many decades.
RIP Papa…I love u

I always slide here when I need any equipment & they ALWAYS have it in stock
A typical music store, some good deals if you are aware of the specials, musicians always needs more pics and cables.
Good assortment of musical items. I’ve personally have found about 70-80% of the items I wanted in stock and simply ordered the rest on line.
Fast in and out service
Way over priced for guitar repair.
Blah
Simply put, this place sucks to conduct business at. Staff has no knowledge of product and it seems nobody cares. Used to be a loyal customer, now I do my very best to stay away. Wish I could rate a zero star. Sweetwater will be getting all my business from now on.
3. Bentley’s Drum Shop
Address: 4477 N Blackstone Ave, Fresno, CA 93726 , Old Fig Garden , California , United States
Awesome and knowledgeable staff, and amazing products!
Great guys, Great selection, good pricing and camaraderie is priceless!
Dana and staff are always very personable and professional during my visits to Bentley’s. The inventory in the shop is beyond 5 stars quality and there is always something new to grab my interest. Dana has always helped me find exactly what I am looking for. I have recommended Bentley’s Drum Shop to many drummers from beginning to professional drummers.
Great selection, friendly staff, AC not on or on low because we were perspiring! We’d have stayed longer but it was uncomfortable! We were ready to shop!
The guys are great they help me on my last tour long time ago and I don’t know if they knew or not but I left my phone in there after I got mesmerized but all the acoustics thank you yeah
Fast friendly service and had what i needed. Thanks Bentlys
Never seen a professional drum shop as frugal as Bentley’s Drum Shop.
I purchased a cymbal from them and had retuned it still under the store warranty for a replacement due to a few small cracks. It took them almost a year to get the cymbal replaced. I was wondering why it took so long after 5 months. So I made a call. The owner claimed that I already came in to pick it up. I told him to check his paper work on his end. He called back and said yes it’s still processing and didn’t even apologize. Wow after 5 months and still processing? Just got a call today to go pick up the cymbal. And they want to charge me for shipping. Again it was still under store warranty. They should of just replaced it with no questions asked.
Always supported them. But after this experience of how the shop owner handled this. Im no longer supporting this drum shop any more.
I ride a bike skateboard on occasion. This place doesn’t accommodate. They actually kicked me out and refused service
Unfortunately you can’t go in the store if you have a bike or a skateboard. ♂️
4. American Music Co
Address: 2597 E Ashlan Ave, Fresno, CA 93726 , Old Fig Garden , California , United States
I purchased a Fender Telecaster from American Music Co. The guitar was shipped quickly to Boston and was received sooner than expected. When I spoke to the representative he answered all my questions and sent pictures of the guitar. I was very pleased with my purchase and would recommend checking them out for your music needs.
Great service always polite and they always know what kind of quality they are offering
Always have what I need as far as supplies. Given me parts I can’t find in their boxes full of parts. Very cool salespeople too.
I came in just to look around and while the employee there was very nice, he was also very patronizing. Overall enjoyed the store. It is relatively small but still very nice.
Had what we needed. Nobody else in town did. A bit dirty.
Nice little music store. Lag guitars!
Terrible customer service! Won’t step foot in there again. Left without buying anything. Decided to go to Patrick’s where they were extremely helpful and considerate. Employee insisted that I was being sarcastic, which I wasn’t. He told me that masks make it easy for people to be sarcastic. All I asked is if they had guitar strings. He then said all they do is sell guitars and no strings. So idk who was being sarcastic. I asked an honest question since at first glance I didn’t notice any. Bad, bad, baaaad!!
Great instructors for advanced violin. Friendly and personable.
loved the place and staff!
Very organized and complete music store. Rentals, repairs lessons and more. Great selection of guitar accessories and other stringed instruments. Big black friday sales this week with up to 40% off certain items. Sean was very helpful and I got what I needed quickly.
Patrick the owner is a great guy. He knows the various schools and school districts in the Fresno area and he knows how to size your child up with the right instrument for the school district they are in.
Great staff greeted me once I came in the door.
they don’t answer the phone
8. Central Sound
Address: Fresno, CA 93710 , Old Fig Garden , California , United States
The service is great. And it is such a large selection of movies
Just an amazing spot to get entertainment. Shop on your own and look for what you want and it will pop in your face like no other.
Lovee it here they have every movie ive been looking for
Good selection of music a little expensive
One of the last or couple last good record stores in this area. In the days where digital music is bigger than ever real record stores are hard to find. Rasputin has a fair selection of music, DVD’s, clothing ,turntables and a couple books.

Took my brother to get rid of his DVDs that were just laying around his apt , and they gave him basically half Penny’s on the dollar for half of them and the other half they didnt take. So 20 dollars for about 50 DVDs.
Worst place to go to if you are actually passionate about movies, music or anything they sell such as furnishings and what not. The employees are not very knowledgable about movies or music and the store opens at 11am on top of all that. This place is terrible but when it comes to used vhs they can’t be beat. I HATE THIS PLACE but until a mom n pop shop opens with all my favorite movies used then i have nowhere else to go.
Had a horrible customer service experience in the Fresno location. I’ve been different ones up north of California and always a pleasant experience. They need to review customer service to they employees
10. Harvard House
Address: 90 E Escalon Ave #112, Fresno, CA 93710 , Old Fig Garden , California , United States
I took my guitar in a for a full set up. When I picked it up, the difference was immediately noticeable. The job was done beautifully. Two weeks later, and the guitar still sounds perfect. Great work for a price that can’t be beat.
I brought my Martin HD-28 to Tom for some small repairs. He also noticed the badly pitted finish on the upper side of the body. I had been told by other repair places that it couldn’t be fixed without refinishing the entire guitar. Tom thought otherwise. I took a chance and had him go ahead with the finish work. He did a fantastic job — far better than I had hoped for and for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Tom’s work.
They were very nice. I would have appreciated knowing the specialist tuning gjutars wasn’t there before the long bus drive with the guitar. He’ll be there Saturday.

Knowledgeable and very helpful staff, reasonable prices, and a wide selection.
Everyone was so very nice and helpful. Will definitely go back.
Best record store in town. If they don’t have what your looking for, they will have something you didn’t know you were looking for. Amazing helpful staff. Really cool place. Fresh fruit and drinks sometimes on the house. It’s just a really great atmosphere.
Love it! Great selection and reasonably priced. If you love vinyl it’s a good place.
Helpful staff. Fair prices
Went with my son Matthew and grandson Dominic, didn’t know this place existed, prices were pricey , was interested in the books until I saw the prices , they looked second hand so I thought the prices should be less expensive .. album’s were plenty they also had comedy on albums which I thought was pretty cool like Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Lilly Tomlin, from laugh out the old TV show etc.
Came to this place looking for some good metal vinyl and couldn’t find anything. If your looking for metal don’t make the trip.
This place gets my order wrong most of the time and forgets items a lot but other than that it’s good. One time they didn’t put any meat in my crunch wrap
Awful staff, very rude.
14. Ragin’ records
Address: 1118 N Fulton St, Fresno, CA 93728 , Old Fig Garden , California , United States
Awesome customer service, no one hounding over your shoulder ect….
It’s a great place for vinyl!! I found the Exploited-Lets start a war original UK 1983 press!!! Paul rules!!!
Vinyls, Cassettes and CDs! Great selection of Rock, Indie, Punk, Metal and more! They also have a shop inside opening up called Sour Milk! It’s going to have prints and awesome merch items too!
Awesome selection of punk vinyl
They had a nice selection of new and used vinyl. A bit too pricey for my tastes though. For a $34.99 vinyl I can get the C.D counterpart for $5.99 on Amazon. Sorry, although I prefer vinyl in some cases there isn’t that much difference in sound sonically to justify the price hike.
Much smaller selection then tower district records and much less customer service. Also seems a bit pricy for not having much old school music it’s basically a record store with people like mac miller, earl sweatshirt and all the new school style music. They had a few vinyl singles from cypress hill and a few old school rappers but its 2 songs or a song and an instrumental for 60 bucks because they say they are mint condition or only so many of this record. That may be but 60 to 80 bucks for an old school rap vinyl that has 1 or 2 songs. I can go to another record store and get vinyl records from the 60’s 50’s and 40’s for 10 or 20 bucks but for some reason a vinyl that came out 5 years ago or 15 years ago cost more than a double platinum kiss album or greatest hits albums from any old school bands. Not sure if that’s just the way it is but I wont pay that kind of money for a single let alone a worker who wont get off her butt to do more than just say hello when you walk in.
Now my review is not based on cleanliness, or content based but on return policy. I bought a record for my wife in December for a Christmas gift. It was an older Blondie album and when I got home I went through my wife’s records and she already had it. So I called and asked if I can return it and they told me yes. Now when I went back later in the week who I think was the owner told me that record did not come from his store as it had scratches on it. I told him yes it did and we argued. Eventually he gave me a return but it wasn’t the full amount. He wouldn’t explain why. I would rather have kept the album if that was the case. He was rude and I will not spend my time or money in that store again. I do have to say his employee was super cool and he helped me locate all the blondie albums in the store.
It was a terrible experience rude customer service and the owner cussed at me and threatened me because I had my mask under my nose.
This store is to pricey

THIS STORE WAS AWSOME!!SO MANY NICE THINGS TO CHOOSE FROM.THEY HAVE VINYL RECORDS,AND MANY ITHER VINTAGE ITEMS. I WOULD GIVE IT 10 IF I COULD!!
The owner is very friendly and helpful! Always gives me a fair price on Cassettes and CD’s .
Love this store been going for years and will keep going!!
Amazing store with all kinds of treasure. From tye dye clothes to jewelry that is hand made and the best iron on patches. Owner is super cool and very attentive to help you find what your looking for if they have it he will find it for you . Perfect place for 60, and 70’s wear
Nice place.
Old stuff nothing new
They had great cds though the whole I time I was shopping he kept looking at me with a judgmental look like I stealing and it made me uncomfortable.
I hugged a record. The woman behind the counter accused me of trying to steal it. I explained I was simply hugging the record out of excitement and she said “no one loves Janis that much”. She called the man that works there out and threatened me with the cops saying I was trying to steal the record. I’m wearing a half shirt. How would a record fit under my half shirt? Does she really think I’m that stupid? I wouldn’t recommend shopping there. Their Native American artifacts are poorly made and non traditional. Their items are scratched, cracked and poor quality. If you want to be treated like a human being- DONT SHOP FREE BIRD.

Most definitely the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Went in for a pixie cut unsure of how it’d turn out with my hair type, but Brandon made the seemingly impossible possible! I love it so much and I will definitely be making this my regular salon. Thank you for everything!!
I will never go anywhere else to have my hair done!! I got exactly what I asked for. Superstardom’s the best highlighting.. my hair has never been softer and more silky shiny than ever before. Had such a great time the music was so much fun. Thank you again Superstar
19. The Frequency Club
Address: 1065 N Fulton St, Fresno, CA 93728 , Old Fig Garden , California , United States
The best studio in Fresno with a affordable price. Definitely satisfied with my tracks I recorded.
Killer work, Awesome time, great customer service, and dope studio. Fresno’s Best
One of the best producers helps you find your sound in your music tap in for your next hit
I wasn’t satisfied with the mix I got. It sounded really dry and muffled. They need a better mic as well and they don’t have a vocal booth which can seal which the studio really needs. Also during my session the headset would disconnect and reconnect which was a major inconvenience. They need a Neumann u87 or a Manley cardioid reference. Those are better mics than the Townsend microphone they had available. In 2023 the standards are much higher and they haven’t been met. 2 out of 5 stars for me. Too expensive for subpar quality.

We love our piano instructor David Aus. He is very talented and wants to ensure that the students have a great musical foundation. The front staff is great and welcoming.
Beautiful spot for learning and becoming immersed in music! My niece, Kat loves her guitar teacher Tyler Williams!
So far I’ve only done the intro lesson to vocals but the instructor deb is such a sweet heart, if you’re worried or nervous about singing infront of people, she cures that nervous energy immidiately and is such a passionate person. The people I met at the front desk were super nice too.
Estuviera mejor si hubiera personal bilingüe para dar informacion lo siento
