5. Flores Music
Address: 3831 N Sheridan Rd, Peoria, IL 61614 , Rome , Illinois , United States
Great place for guitars and more. Love this place. Both Pekin and Peoria store are great.
Fantastic people!!!
I live a little over an hour away from the music shop, and I’ve purchased quite a bit of fine instruments, effects, amplifiers, guitar and bass accessories etc. I’ve always had a great experience in the shop. Had a guitar that had an issue with electronics and the team took care of me and Victor drove it to my home and really took care of me. I will do all my major purchasing through them. Really polite knowledgeable staff and owners. I thoroughly reccomend everyone who plays music to pay them a visit. I appreciate them
Nice music store.
Pros: I just moved here and was told by a guitar center employee that Flores music down the road has the best guy around to diagnose a problem I have with my very expensive guitar. Three shops had tried and failed at this point. I wish I could remember the technicians name; it started with a “j” I know, he takes one look at the guitar and checks a couple things. He then tells me that the problem is easily fixed. I tell him I’ve heard that before. But while I waited he fixed the buzzing problem and even corrected a couple other things that were bad. I’ve never had a guitar play this well ever! The con is when I was done thanking the savior of my taylor guitar a man from the store got mad at me for peeking my head in the shop to talk to the technician who I am trusting with my guitar. Sorry Flores music for bothering you with my business. Great repairs and lousy customer relations.
It was awesome na Kevin Gray Is such a good drum teacher
WENT HERE WITH MY MOM AND DAUGHTER , people act like they are too busy to help paying customers that have been a customer for years . SHOP AT SWEETWATER , OR SAM ASH THEY Treat you like customers not trash !! Family is done shopping here endnof story you should too this place is NO GOOD THUMBS DOWN !!
Do not visit if you have brown skin. Clearly has a preference for whites only…. cannot believe this place and the racist service exists in 2014!!! Had a horrible experience. They would rather not serve me or take my money….. beware black and brown people of Peoria!!!
When I was unhappy with the 5th string banjo capo they sold me, they didn’t offer any kind of refund or even a discount on a new installation. Instead, they reacted in what I thought was a rude and unhelpful manner. Come on people… this is customer service 101!
6. Note By Note Music Therapy, LLC
Address: 308 Peoria St, Washington, IL 61571 , Rome , Illinois , United States
Courtney and Note by Note Music Therapy is WONDERFUL! My favorite days of the month are when Courtney arrives because I witness the resident’s faces light up with joy as they sing along with Courtney. Courtney has a wonderful personality and a gift not only in music, but also in working with all ages and abilities. She is also great to work with from a business standpoint. I am so grateful that I crossed paths with Courtney and for her services.
7. Whiskeytown Stringed Instrument Repair & Service
Address: Lower Level, 4416 N Prospect Rd, Peoria Heights, IL 61616 , Rome , Illinois , United States
Aaron at Whiskeytown is Godsend to Peoria area. You’ll not find better anywhere.
Aaron at Whiskeytown is the only place I take my guitars to get worked on. I’ve sent him several high-skill jobs that other local “bigger” (cough, cough) locations wouldn’t even look at, cause they couldn’t do the job due to company regs or just didn’t know how. That’s the confidence I want when I have a rare vintage guitar that needs detailed repair…NOT. Took the same guitars to Aaron and he nailed them…great job, fair and accurate quotes and timelines, realistic expectations set and exceeded. He’s worked on several high end vintage Martins for me, including the ’67 D35 from the attached photos. The thing was a mess from a previous owner with a wood glue complex–bridge loose, binding everywhere, poor action and ruined frets. Aaron did an amazing job and now this beautiful old guitar looks and sounds better than I could have imagined when I took it in. Can’t see myself taking my stuff anywhere else! Please do yourself a favor and do the same.
Professional and passionate about his work. Aaron really knows what he’s doing!
8. Midstyle Studio
Address: 2465 Washington Rd, Washington, IL 61571 , Rome , Illinois , United States
Jeff is amazing to work with. Affordable rates, good music and personable DJ. My wedding had no alcohol and he still got most of the guests out on the dance floor. Would definitely recommend. My only critique would be to play a few more slow songs so people get a slight break from the full-on dancing songs haha. Otherwise, great experience.
Excellent shop to find vinyls. Thousands to choose from.
Great stuff! Owner is very nice. Ask about the discount club after spending $200!
Friendly and knowledgeable service
When in for a few thing,z talked to a few people , great place to go ton,z of music
My only complaint is that their new vinyl is very overpriced. Great selection of used stuff though.
It’s ok they have so much stuff in boxes, and storage containers It’s a mess In there. So they may have tons of good stuff but don’t know because in boxes or storage bins. The place is kinda hard to get around to check things out.
Lots of oldies rock if that is your thing. Prices way too high.
Never will return. Had records out on the floor that evidently weren’t for sale yet??? had no interest in helping me and then when he did was a total jerk. Unbelievable.
Good selection of records. Giving two stars because was on the gander for a nice Outkast record & the owner says he doesn’t carry hip hop records to “keep those type of people out”. Very gross & tasteless comment.
12. Rock Solid Studio
Address: 309 N 2nd St, Dunlap, IL 61525 , Rome , Illinois , United States
Jimmy and the Rock Solid studio is like none other. My recording sessions were professional and the result has been amazing. I use the recordings every week in my teaching material and they are crisp and crystal clear.
Great Studio, High quality production and more! If you are looking to record your next master piece this should be your first choice! Jimmy is amazing.
What an amazing experience- helped me with exactly what I wanted!
We had a very good experience here! Nice studio with professionals. I would definitely return!

Jon did an amazing job transferring my LPs into CDs and I can not wait to listen to all of them!
Whenever I have something in mind or another project for him to do, he immediately answers and does a great job with getting things done in a timely manner! Thanks Jon!
Jon helps to bring your vision to life with patience, professionalism, and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend him!
18. Amie’s Music Together
Address: 40 Cherry Tree Shopping Center, Washington, IL 61571 , Rome , Illinois , United States
Very clean, great staff, but way to many customers with out masks
Good customer service
I love the ladies and gents that work there! Small towns sure know how to share love!
This is just like every other dollar General great service whrn you are able to find them. Cluttered and messy everytime you go in its almost like a teenagers room its very offputting
Always good in Chilli!
Good in a pinch
Found everything & employees were helpful & so do friendly, thank you
Dirty. Do not wear masks
I thought since they moved it would be better since it’s a bigger location but no, it’s so unorganized there are always carts sitting around blocking shelves, cashiers are usually not at the register and several times employees have seen customers at the check out and they continue their conversations with each other while customers wait and the line gets backed up. No point in going here, family dollar is right across the street well stocked with mostly the same things is organized and has employees who don’t act like it’s a inconvenience to come to the counter for a customer.
