Great service and fast. Took my guitar in for a setup and it was finished the same day. When I picked it up it played great.
Reasonable pricing for repairs, friendly service, and incredibly prompt. I took my Ovation in for an input jack repair just before closing, and Dan called me back early the next morning. Highly recommended.
Great guys, and the work they did on my amp was reasonably priced and turned out great. I had an amp that hadn’t been plugged in for 20 years and there was a ton of static and some things wouldn’t even work. For $80 it’s back as good as new. It was finished under their proposed deadline too. Great guys!
Unprofessionally running business they were closed early then business hour
Took my amp there for a Bias with my own $120 quad matched tubes. Tech called me back saying he dropped n “broke” one of my quad matched tubes so he’ll replace them. He replaced them with “new” tubes…but the brand name(Apex) stickers on the”new” tubes are falling off. Never seen that on brand new tubes. Oh and it took them 2 weeks. 2 weeks to turn my modern hi-gain amp into a blues combo amp. I know the amp tech didn’t even “test” my amp. How do I know? All my volume, bass,mid,treble, gain settings stayed exactly the same as where I left them. Why was my “broken” tubes not returned to me? And why wasn’t there a receipt for the new ones that are falling apart? Very unprofessional.

The best spot in town for your musical needs. They have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff who provide excellent service. Whether you are there for gear or repair work, you will be pleased.
The store atmosphere and employees were extremely professional and caring towards customers, they had a lot of options when it comes to music books for piano. Biggest takeaways were the friendly atmosphere and interactions with the employees. 10/10
Very friendly service
Very helpful and knowledgeable
Had what I needed to teach my new piano student! Cashier was very short and rude. Could not make eye contact and was on her cell phone texting. I’ve been shopping here for years and never had a customer experience like that.
Great friendly service, great location, downtown Clovis. Book orders sometimes take a bit too long, but due to Covid it’s understandable. I would recommend this business to anyone.
bad service….workers are rude. I recommend the Hornshop in Fresno.
Avoid giving your email address to this small business. They don’t use a system where you can unsubscribe. They have an old fashion email list, and you can reply to it it either. My son played an instrument for 3 weeks and gave it up. I have been receiving emails from them for 3 years since with no way to removed it. Completely annoying.
They NEVER return a phone call or call when repairs are ready.

I’ve never had a problem with any guitar I’ve taken to Ted. He also makes me feel comfortable enough if I did have a problem he would remedy any issues I had so that would be happy.
T C Guitars fixed my Gibson J-50 a few years back and since then, T C Guitars is the place I go to. I’ve have my 60s P bass refinished by T C and boy does it look good! Thank you!!!
5. Patrick’s Music School & Store
Address: 769 E Barstow Ave, Fresno, CA 93710 , Tarpey Village , California , United States
I got the vilion of my dreams
And it sounds beautiful
Best store I had ever been to.
Best Music Store in town! Affordable lessons and professional team of teachers! Great place to buy a music instrument!
If you need quality instruments, this music store is the place to be. Great stuffs you can find here!
Great staff greeted me once I came in the door.
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.
they don’t answer the phone
6. Vintage Vinyl & Victrolas
Address: 532 5th St, Clovis, CA 93612 , Tarpey Village , California , United States
LOVE THIS PLACE! This is place is my go to place after grabbing a coffee. Lots of Vinyls to sift through, while listening to some great music.
Huge selection upstairs. Store it really neat, stocked with thousands of collectables and owners were really nice.
i love this store i have been here twice and love it. it is somewhat hard to look for specific title if your looking for one. especially those 45s it is my favorite record shop because t there is so much vinyl that is why it is my favorite place to buy vinyl
Nice guy, but he actually isn’t interested in Victrola 78’s as one would be led to believe having that in the business title. If you have old rock and roll vinyl, that’s another story.
An overwhelming amount of vinyl, fairly priced and kind of hard to know where to begin to look.
Great selection, but very unorganized. Not a place to go if you’re looking for a specific title. The records are usually in old inner sleeves and pretty dirty. There’s also some stereo equipment for sale.
The people here are very nice and they have some very unique items. It’s just hard to really determine the value of the stuff they sell. It can rather easy to overpay for things.
This trio played at a party I attended tonight. They were absolutely divine. They did a great job at picking the right songs. The musicians were polite and very pleasant.
Me gusto mucho son confiables y profecionales los recomiendo
8. American Music Co
Address: 2597 E Ashlan Ave, Fresno, CA 93726 , Tarpey Village , California , United States
The good: Ordered an Ibanez Bass. They shipped it the same day. Arrived really quick. That’s excellent service.
The bad: had some questions, but when I called, they never answered. Tried messaging them on Facebook. Didn’t respond.
Conclusion: Great shipping service. Bad communication. If they fix communication, it would be a perfect 5 stars.
Excellent mom pop type atmosphere. Got my first guitar on layaway at a mom-and-pop in Oklahoma City this place was the same kind of atmosphere very helpful
The staff is very helpful and nice. It’s a great place for quick shopping trips to get your music equipment.
Excelente atención.
Love the wide range of instruments and selection – friendly staff!
Love this place, been around a long time. Good people
I was not there , sorry .
Uneducated people ,rude and the store smells like fish.
I bought my first electric guitar from American Music 25 years ago. I bought my first synthesizer there. I’ve made all my major purchases there. Never again. Today, I went to pick up something for my work and left my phone on my desk. When I arrived, the door was locked with instructions to call for assistance. I look inside and see an old guy at the counter so I knock on the window and jingle the door (which has bells). As I’m trying to get his attention he ignores me and walks into a back room. Thankfully, a neighboring business called to ask for me to be let in. When she told him that I was trying to get in he told her, “I know. He needs to call.” She told him, ‘Well, he’s calling now. Can you let him in?’ I walk back over, the same old guy I saw lets me in, and I am so furious I show him what I need, I pay the $5.19, ask for my receipt, and leave. I will never spend another dime here so long as I live. I will never help American Music by referring another person to them since their employees can’t be bothered to answer the door for me. It’s a shame that our relationship of 25 years came to an end like this but I will not be disrespected just because I didn’t have a phone with me.
Mystic music is the only place I will take a guitar or an amp for repairs.Tom and Dave are two very knowledgeable, very skilled, highly experienced techs.
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.
Bought a new PRS ES 245 on line, from a reputable guitar store. It was two day delivery so I could play it with my son who was visiting from out of town. On delivery it was missing a nut to hold the jack. The reputable store said that I could send it back to be fixed or returned. Neither was satisfactory as my son arrived the same day as the guitar. This was to be a jam session before he leaves for college. I called mystic music and spoke with Tom. He said to come on over and let him take a look. Not in two weeks or two days, now, my son and I drove over after I hung up the phone. He was friendly and looked over the guitar, brought out some tools and the appropriate parts and fixed it on the spot. He informed me that it needed a little overhaul to make it play perfect! (He will kill me) it was no charge for the easy repair. I’m coming back to get the final professional tuneup and look forward to playing it dialed in. I am new to Fresno and this IS my new guitar store!! Thank you Tom!! I’ve been in customer service for 40 years and know the importance of going the extra mile! Mystic music is a no brainer! Easiest 5 stars ever. Jeff H
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.

My daughter takes guitar lessons from David and he is the best! He is so good with all the kids and makes sure they’re having fun learning! This is definitely the place to go!
Great place to take your kids for piano lessons. Our daughter has been going for a couple years now and improved tremendously.
My daughter started lessons at the beginning of 2019, she has grown her skills tremendously. Even when we have to do online lessons since March of 2020. Neil is very patient, extremely knowledgeable and profesional. He understands that the kids might be tired by the end of the day and makes the class fun. He always tries to accommodate our makeup lessons. My daughter loves to find new sounds on her own, Neil’s instruction is open, fun, personalized and different from other places. We appreciate the quality and we highly recommend him!
13. Guitar Center
Address: 5330 N Blackstone Ave, Fresno, CA 93710 , Tarpey Village , California , United States
If all else fails (on-line order too expensive/takes too long), buy it Guitar Center. Just know what you want before you show up.
They have put the 7 string guitars up where I cant play em. Booooooo
Drove 45 miles to look for and purchase acoustic guitar amp. Don’t have. Looking for certain Les Paul, don’t have. Either have extremely high end or bottom end guitars. Selection sucks, not one associate asked if i needed assistance.
I received the absolute worst service today. Growing up I went to this store often and have fond memories. However, after today I am not sure I will ever return. I went in today looking for some piano books. The lady that I ask for help from was rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. When I asked where the piano books were she told me and I quote “Honestly we never have time to keep the books organized and know what is on the shelf. So you will just have to figure it out.” When I asked if she had any local recommendations she snickered and said I was better off looking at Amazon. I expressed my desire to shop locally and she said “I cannot be of any help.” After searching through the available books I found 2 that would be useful. As I was leaving I noticed a whole shelf by the lessons rooms with books that she could have recommended. I came very close to not purchasing anything due to this experience. I am incredibly disappointed. I hope this isn’t normal for this business.
yo pienso que el vendedor tenia un mal dia porque estubo mal el servicio k nos brindo

Any music store to get instruments and be a musician and you could do anything which you wanted to do those guitars, piano and more you would be appreciated with you will be getting ready to play, I would give this a five out of 10 this is a good music store everybody should be shopping in the store!
The customer service here is pretty good.
This place came highly recommended from another music store. They do everything, but they are the master off woodwinds!
16. Rockley Music Guitar & Combo Shop
Address: 2597 E Ashlan Ave, Fresno, CA 93726 , Tarpey Village , California , United States
Dana’s shop and showroom is the best in the central valley hands down!
Best drum shop in the Central Valley!!! I’ll happily drive from Visalia to buy the big ticket items from Dana and the staff
First time visit to see Kenny Aronoff! Place is full of every type of thing you can beat on. Staff are helpful, not arrogant. Thanks guys! Shout out to my buddy Soren Harvey!
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
Dana was very knowledgeable and very helpful when I inquired about hang drums.
Unfortunately you can’t go in the store if you have a bike or a skateboard. ♂️
I ride a bike skateboard on occasion. This place doesn’t accommodate. They actually kicked me out and refused service
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.
18. Rasputin Music
Address: 5577 N Blackstone Ave, Fresno, CA 93710 , Tarpey Village , California , United States
If you want expert customer service go to Best Buy and pay for it. If you actually want used crap a place like this is perfect, sure the employees won’t win any nobel prizes for their personal care or outstanding conversational skills, but the place is named “Rasputin’s Music” not “Ronald McWunderfuls Magical Palace”.
I personally love a laid back place to get stuff and browse.
10/10, two thumbs up and all that.
Always can find something to take home.
Was at the appliance depot store
The staff is so slow. I did not enjoy my visit.
Workers are helpful has everything I’m looking for.
Could not find the movie i was looking for
Dirty place smells
Been waiting for the store to open back up.. seen that website said they were open but after the drive across town I found out that they are still closed ☹️. They could at the very least email their members to let us know the status of the store

A great place to have your musical instruments repaired.
The Horn Shop guys were great to work with. They have a wide variety of horns in stock to try before you buy.
Took my trombone to get serviced. They know what they’re doing and are very friendly. They took the time to ask questions to make sure the instrument got the proper care. Will definitely be returning for future service.
They are knowledgeable and seem fair about pricing. Get the person’s name you speak with if you call, as they have a few guys working there and then you won’t have to repeat everything and get a different opinion.
Great location for instruments, repair, parts & service. Extremely knowledgeable & helpful.
Bought some reeds for a clarinet fair price quick service.
