Family owned and good people! Excellent deals and nice stuff, and lots of different types of items too. We like to stop by when in town and see what’s new in stock. I’ve found many amazing deals and even a few rare treasures. One of my favs!!
I Bought a boat motor it was a great price and works perfect I think the son gary took over the business recently
Decent pawn shop, came in the other day and Gary had what I needed. Prices are alright, high, but it is 2022.
Wide selection of tools, power equipment, and chainsaws.
Pawn side of his business is fair, he is willing to work with people as long as they keep him in the loop.
Guns and ammo are marked up, and his FFL fee is way high. $50 as of June when I checked with him last. If you want more than 4 arms transferred, that’s $200. The same cost as getting your type 01 FFL license, and you only need to pay that every 3 years.
It’s his business to run, but I’ll stay away from him if I need a transfer.
Was over charged on the bow I bought and then shorted my tax when I returned a item not a good store don’t waist your time go up the street to goose

Found exactly what I was looking for. The customer service was awesome. Thank you!
Awesome!
Found some very nice items at great prices. Very pleasant staff as well ☺️ ☺️.
I dared to voice my opinion on the prices and had to listen to a rant from the clerk about how great she is. She told me never to come back and I certainly will take her advice. Glenda Sylvester
5. Burt’s Music & Sound
Address: 1123 Sherman Ave, Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814 , Saint Maries , Idaho , United States
They are the only ones that REALLY know their stuff.
Very helpful and friendly staff, above and beyond.
Great local music store and instrument repair shop
bought nice drum for great price. thanks 🙂
Great knowledgeable staff!
The music store to go to!
Staff helped, but it felt like I was bothering him. The only instruments for sale were on consignment. They had a few new instruments mainly guitars and bass. It was darkish. This wasn’t the music store I remembered has a child. And it breaks my heart, at least they had a flute cleaning rod that I needed.
The person working there that day didn’t really seem to want to make a sale…. The sign saying not to touch the instruments without permission was a bit off-putting.
Then, after inquiring about trying one, he selected an instrument, took it down, re-tuned it, and hung it back up. There was no sense of being encouraged to actually try it out or anything.
It was very uncomfortable and we felt quite unwelcome.
I have been a loyal customer and supporter of this local business for years. However my experience there for the past several years has been less than satisfactory. I have been made to feel as if I were a nuecense there by one of the shop owners I believe.
Unless this man is just a disgruntled employee which is the vibe that he puts out each and every time I have been there during the past several years.
I have never gone there only to browse and play instruments. I only go there to purchase musical items and support local business as I strongly believe in doing so being a small business owner myself.
This man puts out a vibe so foul and offensive that I vowed not to patronize this place ever again solely because of this.
This man acts as if he’s been awakened by a door to door solicitor at his home each and every time I have shopped there.
I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I will probably make this complaint known elsewhere so that the local public can be aware.
If one is either a proprietor or an employee at any establishment where intimate customer service is the foremost priority and that individual is vicious and repulsive with an obvious disgust for customers than they need not pursue that career any longer.
I have shared my honest feelings about this. THANK you for the platform
6. Discount Music Supply
Address: 5380 E Seltice Way STE C, Post Falls, ID 83854 , Saint Maries , Idaho , United States
Nice little music store with a good supply of instruments. Prices are reasonable.
Very friendly environment. Good place to buy strings, drum heads, picks and they have instruments for a decent price to!
Terry is great to work with! Quality, affordable, friendly service! I trust him with my gear.
Needed strings. Good selection. Manager willing to help find anything you may need.
Good selection and reasonable prices
This is the soul of music place…
I made the drive out here from spokane based on reviews I thought it would be worth it to check it out. I got there at 3:44 and it was closed. I understand it’s in a sort of secret place but if you’re gonna close early you should maybe close around half an hour early rather than nearly an hour and a half early.
I am on tour with my band, and I am in dire need of some new sticks. We call the store around 5:30 pm to ask them when they close. They close at 6pm and we tell them we are on our way right then. Get there at 5:45 pm and they are closed. I mean, no one there, they counted out, gone. I know many musicians who tour around the area often and I have told them to NOT go to this store. Go to Burts.
It’s really too bad these geniuses have the most ridiculous hours of operation. Tried to explain to their feeble minds that people that can afford to spend money on musical instruments are WORKING for a living. Nobody is going to take time off of work to go shop at this place. Open at a decent hour and I’ll shop there. In the last 4 1/2 years, I’ve spent approx. $5,000.00 ELSEWHERE as a direct result of their terrible hours. This I must say is regrettable as I would much prefer to keep the money here in Post Falls. Note: I’ve heard these jokers complaining that sales are very poor at that store. No wonder.

Address: 6055 N Sunshine St, Coeur d’Alene, ID 83815 , Saint Maries , Idaho , United States
I came in interested in getting some music recording equipment. I had somewhat of an idea what I needed but came hoping someone here could help me in the next steps. I got just that I felt. One of the guys at the desk helped me first with some simple needs and was chatting with me about guitar strings and decided to give them a try. So far I’m satisfied with the recommendation he gave me.
After bringing up the need of a way to record to my computer, he said he would need to bring their audio tech guy over. (not verbatim but the gist of what I remember being said) The guy he mentioned came over before being asked. So that told me he was attentive to his job. He proceeded to answer all of my questions, gave recommendations, comparing products, and helped me feel secure with making my large purchase.
What I found cool was the first guy who helped me, had stayed around to listen to the audio tech so he could learn some of the information himself. Always cool to see someone at their job wanting to learn more. I’m happy with my experience and will be back for future purchases!
Great store
Very helpful in finding items for your instruments. The instruction is top drawer.
4 stars because they do have a great selection, prices are fair, and the store is very clean and organized. The staff at first seemed helpful but then seemed impatient, as I was asked if I was ready to check out while I was still looking at guitars with an item in my hand. Caught me off guard as I felt rushed after only being in the store a couple minutes and wasn’t near the register. Other than that, they have a great selection of beautiful guitars and quality gear.
Was greeted when entered the store got what we needed stood in line cashier started helping us we had a couple questions we were asking cashier completely dropped helping us in the middle of our conversation he took another customer and ignored us helped other customer started talking to us again pushed us aside and rang up another customer I had to ask if I could pay for my things now he replied “ the other guy was waiting patiently” the cashier was very rude.
I can only review the store in terms of the musical lessons. My daughter signed up for lessons and was given a start date of a month out. We showed up for the first lesson but there was no instructor. The front desk called the instructor who was on his way in for the appointment after ours. I was told I had to wait for the instructor to arrive before rescheduling. I accepted that there is a paperwork mix-up and rescheduled for the next week. Appointment attempt number two went fine. The instructor was on time and my daughter appreciated his efforts. However, lesson attempt number 3, resulted in no instructor again. This time I talk to the manager and she was slightly apologetic. Though I had emailed with the instructor previously, she claimed they could not contact me because they did not have a phone number. After a 66% no no-show rating I decided I’d had enough with the place. Your results may differ, and I hope they do. I have no doubt that if I would have missed appointments I still would have been billed for the time. But they had no respect for my time.
I came in a week ago to look around before I bought anything the people were nice and friendly and when I came back today I was ignored and treated like I didn’t exist so instead of buying a electric guitar and bundle you guys get this review and to the 4-5 people working there at the time it’s beyond rude to ignore someone then try to say something as there are leaving I felt discriminated against this was a first.
Edit
What a joke he didn’t say anything don’t try lying and make it seem like a misunderstanding. I wasn’t alone, so instead of lying and blaming me, look at your employees and try to figure out why they didn’t greet me or ask if I needed help.
