Classic music store; great staff! Wide variety. Highly recommend to any and all levels of musicians.
Muy buen lugar para buscar instrumentos, muy amables y atentos con los clientes, te ayudan a elegir el mejor instrument para los niños dependiendo de su tamaño y precios accesibles. Recomiendo este lugar para los niños que tienen clases de musica en las escuelas.
Super friendly staff. Great place for children curious about music. Sheet music for everything, sound proof practice rooms, beats corporate guitar center anyday
This is the place in Fullerton for singing, drumming, guitar strumming, playing, learning, planning and even walking down the yellow brick road. Met many “gifted” musicians, artists, and lights of inspiration at Mo’s.
Notice the hand signed portraits of famous musicians patronizing Mo’s. Lessons are not cheap so if “bargain” is not your mantra and being the best is within your budget then check out the webpage for information.
Music is a medium transporting us to new highs or lows (if that is part of your journey). Mo’s also has a full line of instruments, sheet music, instructors and music studios. Thanks Roger for the recommendation.
Great music store with knowledgeable staff
Little pricey, yes, but they have a wide variety of instruments, books, lessons, gifts, etc. I’ve been going there for years.
Went in to look around and possibly make a purchase but the employee running the shop at the time was a complete a’hole. Completely unprofessional and rude to my girlfriend and I.
Sold me a fender guitar hanger for $21 that’s $8 on Amazon.
Oh it was also broken but they don’t accept any returns, for any reason.
This is why local shops are going out of business. Step up your game guys.
Overpriced products
3. White Rabbit Records
Address: 645 S State College Blvd Unit A, Fullerton, CA 92831 , Placentia , California , United States
Cool little used record store in Fullerton. Good product quality control. Good variety.
Support your local record store! Came in for the second time today and their selection was insane. Way better than last time I was in, but I must have been here between shipments. Such a cool little store, with a great dude behind the counter. CDs, vinyl, and other merch. Great selection of hip hop, classic rock, alternative, indie, etc. Wish there was a bit more electronic, but you can’t have it all.
Came in for the first time this weekend and I loved the selection of vinyl and the used CDs were also a good selection of all music types. Alas, I didn’t find anything in vinyl to add to my collection (that’s the problem when you’re in your 50s: you tend to have most of the music you want). That said, I liked a lot of what I saw and prices were competitive for new LPs.
Found the Cult’s “Electric” for $7+tax on CD — totally competitive price with what it would go for used on that auction site that starts with an “E”.
Nice staff (and appreciated the Radiohead and Byrds tunes on the in-house stereo as I shopped!) who never pressured me while browsing the selection.
Recommended!
Highly disappointed to find out they no longer do holds. I had been a regular and up until a few weeks ago I was able to call and ask if they would hold an item until I could get myself down there. Never been a problem. They’d always been super nice and I’d always get down there by the end of the day. They’re not close for me so I’d hate to bust my butt to get down there just to find out the item I’m interested is gone. Record stores like this have put together “Record Store Day” and basically beg people to “shop small” but then overcharge customers for items and refuse to do the things that could set small businesses apart. I found it cheaper on Amazon (as usual) and ordered from there. It was just more convenient. Sorry…tried to support you guys ♂️
UPDATE: (Response to owner) Was literally getting ready to head in yesterday when I called. I saw an Instagram post, called so it would be there when I got there and was told you didn’t do holds.
White rabbit was kool, the guy upfront wasn’t as helpful as some of the other shops in town. He had a great selection tho.
great store. lots of variety and options. got an awesome queen record and multiple frank sinatra ones.
Worst experience I have ever had in a record store. I was very excited to find a place closer than Amoeba records, but left before purchasing the few records I was able to find because the “music” being played was some techno garbage that was so annoying, I could not stand another second in that horrible place. I have very eclectic taste, but this was just a bunch of bleeps and bloops; basically, this “music” was designed to drive off those not worthy of entering the sanctuary of the “comic book guy” behind the counter. Okay, you win: I am not worthy of this place and will continue elsewhere.
Definitely a locals only vibe, got an annoyed eye roll when asked if they carried something that is advertised on their sign
I stopped to this place to check it out, my little boy was a little playful and my wife walk him out to ovoid any issues wile he was outside playing and tapping the glass one of the employee punch the glass and give my wife a dirty look, while I was spending money inside. Base on this experience it shows how unfriendly this people are, and not worth bringing my business.
4. Jazz & Classical Music Agency
Address: Placentia, CA 92870 , Placentia , California , United States
Great customer service and a relaxed environment. Gets you in the mood to make some tunes. The workers are knowledgeable in their fields. Lou was super helpful
I was greeted with a smile and a welcome. I went in to buy a guitar for my grandson and was helped right away. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful.
다양해요~~. 악기가 필여하시다면 이곳에 꼭 들려보세요
수리와 구매하는데 친절해요.
Went in for a new drum, they had a pretty decent selection with a wide price range. I’d definitely go back to purchase my next one
The Brea store is also understaffed and not inclined to help females. Wow! Haven’t been back!
Your competitors have better service.
Shady people. They will cancel your online order to sell it to someone in the store. Talked to the manager, no help. They cancelledmy order and made it look like i cancelled it. Slimey low class people.
The service has left the building. They can ring up sales but gone are the days of customer service.
7. Music & Arts
Address: 504 S State College Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92806 , Placentia , California , United States
Came in to get flute repaired. Always great customer service. Well its gonna b expensive but Not expensive. Thank u
prices seem high..
The employee who helped me was the best ! She asked me right away if she could help and she stayed within my price range. I got a pretty cool gift for my friend! Good quality stuff.
Muy amable y eficiente la persona que atendió.
Completely unprofessional and willing to sell disgusting and abused guitars & amps for MSRP prices. Avoid avoid avoid.
I have a 2 kids learning piano and guitar for 3 months and always the restroom is out of order is not fix for 3 months
Heartless. There was one guy that was in there and we were late by 2 minutes. They are so heartless. I’m mostly doing this review because of him. Tuesday 8pm.
Wasted my time and gas to reach here. Was going 85 on a freeway and almost had a grind by. Very dangerous. This person is very nice at making customers hate music and arts. Way to represent music and arts. He only pointed at his watch and didn’t even talk to me or apologize. Keep in mind that my dad had his SON in his car and still rushed to this. You know how nervous he was? DO YOU KNOW HOW SAD HE IS THAT WE COULDENT MAKE IT? DO YOU KNOW HE IS MAD AT HIMSELF FOR NOT MAKING IT IN TIME? DO YOU KNOW HOW GUILTY THE PERSON MADE MY DAD FEEL?
8. Acoustic Instruments
Address: 200 S Berkeley Cir, Fullerton, CA 92831 , Placentia , California , United States
Cool small spot but affordable and available as well as parking!
The girls are nice but there’s not many choices and the guy is always late and then complains when customers are waiting.
Went there to get one of the $20 carts they offered and it was legit fake and tasted like straight chems, gave a delta 8 typa high, and legit hurt my lungs unlike other authentic dispensary carts. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
Smelled like Marijuana and didnt have parts for turntable
Looks like I’m not the first one to have online ordering and customer service issues with this company.
I placed an order for some xener diodes on 8/23/17 and have not received anything. I called during their listed business hours and ended up leaving messages because no one would answer. Multiple inquiries were sent online, and I got one response back saying that they would check on it…..I have not received any sort of response back.
If you plan to order online with this company and haven’t before, I would highly advise against it.
10. Amac Violin Center
Address: 607 N Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92832 , Placentia , California , United States
I’m a first-time violin buyer and was intimidated with all the different selection they have. Mr. And mrs. Song were very helpful played many different violins for me until I heard the one I wanted. They made me an amazing deal and we’re very friendly to a new violinist or Fiddler. I challenged Mr song to a Charlie Daniels standoff Sunday.
11. Ordermusic
Address: 1164 N Kraemer Pl, Anaheim, CA 92806 , Placentia , California , United States
I love this store, I always find good stuff and the store is very clean and it doesn’t smell bad like other stores, the ladies and the gentlemen that work there are awesome, I love going there.
Great little store with hand- selected items and prices better than savers. Supports community through HIS House
Great thrift store
Good place to shop for thrift store things often in like new condition.
13. Forte Strings Violin Shop
Address: 701 N Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92832 , Placentia , California , United States
Excellent store with huge selection and the owners are super friendly! Thank you for helping us find an affordable option! With love from Canada 🙂
I often travel to Fullerton for work, and stumbled upon this violin shop on my latest trip. This place has all of the above – high-quality instruments, professional knowlegeable staff, full-service repair, classical and antique feel. Just what one would imagine a violin shop should look and feel. I purchased a violin for my niece. The owner played it and it sounds truly amazing! Very excited to give it to her.
Bought a violin for my 5th grader here (his second year playing) after wanting to move up from a rental. Excellent price and selection, great service. The owners interacted well with my son, and did a good job answering our questions. Highly recommend.
14. McDonald’s
Address: 770 W Chapman Ave, Placentia, CA 92870 , Placentia , California , United States
There dine in is open 24 hours. It is really convenient when you want to eat in but not expensive.
Son atentos el personal
This branch make the best iced mocha!
Need something quick? Go here!
Nice
As a customer of this McDonald’s the restaurant is clean, AC, clean stocked bathrooms and big play area clean. I like coming here during my lunch break. With that said I want to say the manager Isabelle I notice yells at her staff and tried to yell at me a customer!!
I went to the side window and asked if my order would be ready soon waiting over 8 minutes for a Big Mac combo the manager was in the kitchen yelling at her staff and created a unhealthy work environment as I am a customer you could see associates and the assistance manager looking away from the manager yelling in the kitchen.
Took over 12 minutes but I finally got my lunch. I’m not sure if I would dine in here but take your food to good. Avoid the manager Isabelle at all cost
Lately the drive through line takes long AF
Parking lot way too small!!!
15. Golden State Coffee Roasters
Address: 109 W Santa Fe Ave, Placentia, CA 92870 , Placentia , California , United States
delicious coffee, tastes so fresh and the pastries/cookies are soo good!
Best pour over in OC
What a great find glad I stumbled into this place.
Clean, Beautiful, Spacious, and Cheap. The only coffee shop I’ve been to so far that had a latte under $5…. Definitely going to come again when I need to study!
Great staff very knowledgeable and friendly. They do have keto desserts and snacks.
Very calming and chill environment. Love the aesthetics. Our group had a little of everything: some coffee, lattes and a hot chocolate. Not bad at all.
Super cozy and great coffee
Edit: this is my favorite coffee shop but I hope they stop playing tik tok hits, I liked their old music better, it was easy to focus but the new music is driving me crazy
The smell is weird when you first step in.
It’s very spacious but the seating area is not really comfortable.
I think I won’t come back.
This used to be my favorite coffee shop until they didn’t allow dogs anymore. Brought service animal in and they said sorry it’s against health code. My dog has been here before too they said now they’re strict about it. Never coming here again.
I heard good things about this place and really wanted to try it and love it, but the very slow service left a more-to-be-desired first impression. I noticed that the line was long and moving rather slowly, then as I got to the front, the barista at the register went off to prepare some drink but said (almost inaudibly) they’d be with me shortly. At least 5-7 minutes passed and no one else behind the counter seemed to regard the line growing behind me…I don’t know if three baristas is considered understaffed, but with no follow up from the staff or an apology for still waiting, I walked out. Maybe I’ll give it another chance in the future, but not until there’s an improvement in service.
16. Music House Band Instrument Rental Affiliate – Music House
Address: 18543 Yorba Linda Blvd, Yorba Linda, CA 92886 , Placentia , California , United States
The owner said she has been there for over 20 years. My kids were matched with a great teacher and they enjoy piano lessons.
Excellent individual piano lessons.
Outstanding customer service!! Always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! A++
Both my kids really enjoy Mrs. Linn’s music class.
I dropped my sons acoustic guitar off there about a week and a half ago. It just needed new strings and a dowel that the string fastened to. The girl took my information and told me that they would call when it was finished. A few days later the girl called and said that she didn’t have the white dowel and that the one they had was black. I said in that case, replace all the white dowels with the black ones and call me when it was ready to be picked up. They never called so I went in yesterday assuming that the repair was done and I could pick it up. The same girl who helped me before opened up the case and said that they didn’t fix it. I was mad! I asked her why and she said her repair man was old and sick! I asked for the store owners name and she refused to give it to me.
Later that day, I got a call from a woman with a heavy accent. She explained that she was the manager and that they couldn’t repair the guitar because their repair man is as having leg cramps! How UNPROFESSIONAL is that? Not only can’t they replace the strings on a guitar but they have to have medical excuses with their employee’s symptoms named off. I went to another guitar place to n Brea who fixed it in 20 minutes and was less money. Sorry Music Maker…. You’re more like Music Faker!
Through the years I have owned many guitars. Most of these I bought at Guitar Center or Moody Music, so I thought I was familiar with the retail of musical instruments.
The retailer is musically-talented and knowledgable. Their enthusiasm making you eager to make your purchase. It feels good.
Music Maker was none of that. We went in to buy a violin for my kid. The person who helped us was completely unenthusiastic. We were bothering him, obviously. No small talk no passing on of tips or wisdom. The experience sucked.
We still have the violin. It was really good quality, but that probably wasn’t Music Maker’s fault.
I was driving to work today and this lady cut me off and drove to this business. Obviously she was the owner because she unlocked the doors with keys. Clearly she doesn’t care about my safety and probably lacks any good teaching skills if she drives this way. I defintely won’t be using her services ever.
19. Mosaic Music
Address: 18032 Lemon Dr # A, Yorba Linda, CA 92886 , Placentia , California , United States
Monique was super helpful in getting my little brother the right strap he needed for his guitar.
Purchased a new G&L Tribute ASAT Classic blemish free for the price of a used one that had a flat high E string issue I didn’t catch on the test run. I remedied that with a proper setup, string change to DR Blues 10’s and tightening of all loose tuners and hardware. Now she sings! This was not the seller’s fault but the factory! Kyle offered to refund or repair!
They didn’t have a molded hard case to fit but lent me a soft case to get her home in with a refundable deposit if I returned it the next day unblemished.
Monique went above and beyond to help me out!
Supposedly I financed something here when I was 15. I called and told them multiple times that the financed item was under my father’s name. They told me they switched it and it was taken care of. Now I have $1400 due to a collection agency. I am now getting a lawyer involved because they obviously can’t keep track of paper work.
For the music store, if I could leave less than one star , I would. If I could put in print my explicit word choices, I would. It was awful. Enough to say ” never again” .
My son took lessons with a good teacher here for a little over a year. The teacher was friendly and accommodating, as were the clerks at the desk. We made arrangements to skip a month because of a long family vacation. A month later I noticed we were charged for the month, so I called the store and they apologized and promised to credit it. Three months later my son decided he wasn’t learning anything new, so we informed the store that he would not be attending. Despite this, they charged for two more months (and credit one of these back after a fight), and never credited the vacation month. The owner was extremely rude and had a different excuse for their action with every call. It is clear he was being deceptive and extremely short-sighted to turn a somewhat positive customer experience into a very poor one.
