Beautiful store with a great selection and amazing customer service. Staff really knows their stuff about the gear and will help you with whatever your needs are.
Excellent local music shop with a nice cozy atmosphere. And Chad is a solid dude who genuinely wants to help you find what you’re looking for, even when you’re not sure what you’re looking for yourself.
I just started to play so I went and bought a guitar and the dude there was awesome and had a few budget friendly guitars and amps

Address: 2312 Pacific Ave, Stockton, CA 95204 , Stockton , California , United States
From school band to rock band 35yr customer that sums up my ratings
Got an awesome ukulele for my grandson. His first instrument. People were so helpful.
We have gotten great products and service at Bill’s Music. Always satisfied!
Three stars because its local and dindt want to hurt em with the 1.5 star I feel Is deserved for this work. Might be different for other services.
Here is why:
Sadly, my loving wife took my professional trumpet bell to them for a bent bell repair as a birthday present.
The store repairman was shocked that I dismantled the bell from the rest of the $2500 professional model horn.
He didnt know that I’m building a custom horn.
He was just disgusted.
Well first of all it’s my horn to do what I like with, I didn’t buy from them!
I was excited to have a “professional” fix the bent bell and dinged mark’s because they would do a better job than me! I understood that there would be crease mark’s from the repair. I didnt expect scratches a d uneven repair and dents to be left in.
I play professionally part time and am building a custom two bell trumpet from and out of other exspensive trumpets. I want a pro horn when Imdone and am using pro horns I like, to build it out of! I e worked with metal and am proficient in welding and soldering.
$32 to fix the bell was very reasonable! I’ve been quoted $50 elsewhere and have seen great work for that price in Oakland and they even cleaned and polished for that price.
But finally got my bell back today and the work I see is not great. It will all have to be redone.
It looks to me that no pride in workmanship was taken and his disgust in my taking the horn apart was perceived as not caring.
I fricking care a lot!
Complete waste of time and money. And no I dont want to go back and give em a chance to make the bell worse.
Tried to give local store work and keep it in my town. But dont take a pro brass instrument to a guitar shop and expect to have quality work done.
Now I’ll have to ship it out someplace probably out of state because the guy in Oakland retired.
My project delayed now even longer!
#family business #small business . The guys that run this shoppe are the best! Super helpful and unlike the old regime. The manager usually means the front while the owner does repairs. The selection is not large but the service makes up for it. Especially recommended for instrument rentals and school instrument repair.
I went to this place because I have a Ukelele to fix it. I believe the owner help me whit it and I how this place has diferente instrument, and he rent too. If he do not have something he can orther for you. Nice place!
Extremely rude, very poor customer service. Expert at music, immature level of social interaction. He even directed his impatience towards my 9 year old sister. Overall: es un pinche cerote come-mierda racista!
Came in to get a pair of decibel reducing earplugs for use in live sound. Guy behind counter referred me to a $15 set, but during the show had a high-frequency ring in my ears: better sound with foam earplugs. Would have paid a bit more for quality, but I guess this was all they had. Ordering pro-qualitu set online.
this store is really bad they guy is racist and also has bad quality products

Address: 1 S Wilson Way, Stockton, CA 95202 , Stockton , California , United States
Me encanta el tipo de cambio y el sistema que tienen. Aunque el personal, en especial las chicas aveces estan de malas y son muy groseras. Les preguntas algo y te responden de mala gana y algunas veces te atienden de maravilla. Ojala el manager las coordinara para atendernos con respeto aunque anden de malas, pues vamos a consumirles no a molestarlas.
El servicio es rápido buena atención de parte de los empleados y el mejor pago de dólar a México
La verdad son amables
Friendly and helpful
Un buen servicio. Son rapidos.
Needs better customer service,
Cashier didn’t know any information of her own
Store??? 6 other’s Cashiers didn’t offer to help???
This is not a music store. False. Advertisement. They sell piñatas and phones
No

The place was hard to find it is hidden but the people and studio is phenomenal. I have only been here one time.
Nice spot to record. Nice atmosphere and great management.
Not very good noone was there when I had appointment
I had booked a studio session with them, was told it got cancel. So then I asked for a refund, the producer manager said it’ll take 5 days to issue the refund. I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now and no refund.
5. Dreamgame Music Group
Address: 42 N Sutter St # 301, Stockton, CA 95202 , Stockton , California , United States
It’s cool it has a lot of cool instruments but to stricked
They fixed my clarinet fast and I wasn’t charged too much like in other places.
Cool place to visit I play percussion bass and piano look for that instruments that need a home for a fair price
It is okay but does not have a great selection But the economy is not great right now People are nice friendly needs to improve.
God services and God price
Online order
Ordered a Jackson at a great price, used. Shipping took a little while (about a week and a half, I guess I’m just used to crazy fast shipping speeds like amazon. Felt like a lifetime. I’m in NY so it’s completely understandable )
Guitar looks great. There are some very very slight nicks and dings (as to be expected with a used guitar, however it would be nice to have the imperfections highlighted in a picture or two). Guitar is full functional and has no mechanical problems; however it did not come with the whammy bar. Not a big deal at all, they are only a few dollars. It would have been nice to have that listed in the description though so I could have had one ordered before the guitar got here. Again, not a big deal at all.
Overall very happy with the guitar and will be ordering more from them in the future. Thanks guys. Wish I was closer and could come check out the rest of your stuff in person!
No acknowledgement, waiting for someone to help and no one ever came. No one said I’ll be right with you. Was there to purchase a good guitar. I suppose the other people wasting time and talking their ear off was more important. All we heard was “thanks for coming in” as we walked out empty handed.
None
Music go round sells used and abused equiptment at nearly list price.they take advantage of strugling musicians

Clancy’s Music!
The store has new ownership because the former owner, Mr. C, retired.
I have known Clancy nearly all my life. Along time ago, we were childhood neighbors.
He was raised here in Stockton and is truly a local businessman.
I have always known him to be honest, trustworthy, and an awesome musician. He is not just an awesome musician, he is a good, decent human being. He makes Stockton a better place.
Whatever your musical needs or wants, Clancy can help you.
The store offers sales of new and a few gently used instruments and accessories. There are lots of music books too.
Lessons are also offered by expert musicians who are patient and knowledgeable. Kids love coming here.
Servicing instruments and fixing them is also offered. Whatever you need, Clancy can help!
I highly recommend Clancy’s Music. Please give them a try! You’ll be glad you did.
Check out Clancy’s Music! Awesome place!
Awesome people!
Just went in there to buy guitar strings and they had what we needed so we were happy
Generally quick service for simple repairs and fair prices. Used instruments for reasonable prices. But selection is limited for anything not guitar or ukulele.
I’ll give the store the benefit of the doubt. It’s a new store and the guy who runs it is knowledgeable and nice. The selection isn’t vast but the prices are fair. Has a grand opening coming up soon with reps from Ibanez and others. Hopefully that helps him stock up!
Waited in line for about 20 minutes before
Horrible customer service.

Great prices, no problem getting merchandise I need.
David saved us this week!! My boss had to get a bunch of A/C power switches ASAP for a project, but he couldn’t find any in the entire region of Southern California. He called every distributor he could find, but all said they were out of stock. Then he enlisted me to continue doing research and I called many different stores throughout the country, trying to see if they had any in stock and could ship overnight. All said no. Finally I talked to David, who was able to confirm we could pick up a quantity of 10 (!) at a location only a 30 minute drive from us (!!). He made the whole transaction a breeze and charged us $5 less per item than other stores I talked to. He was great at keeping us in the loop and staying in contact from the first phone call to the moment we had all the power switches safely picked up and brought to our factory.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID! You’re the best!!
David was great to work with and really went the extra mile to get me what I needed and tracked it to my door to make sure it got there. Great price and service.
10. Solbase Studios

I can’t speak highly enough of the quality of the zampona I received from the maker Ramos. I’m sure all the makers are of high quality if you choose a different one. I found the front lower row challenging to get a sound at first but after a little practice the sound came. Best of luck to everyone and thank you so much to the makers of the zampona and the pan flute store. My quenacho from them is also of really nice quality and interesting/challenging to learn. Also, the soft cases that come with them are really beautiful and would easily cost $15+ if purchased separately. Thank you thank you
