I love the energy and ambience of this place. The owners Rock in every way possible. Come hang out. If your into music, peace, and people, this is a great place to visit.
Great local place for music & fun

Excellent ! Drop in and see Bernie for all your musical needs ! Friendly and knowledgeable !
Awesome local music store! Super helpful staff, and good inventory! A wonderful place to go if you’re looking to get a new instrument, or just try something out. I’d highly recommend you support it. Especially as more and more quality music stores go out of business in Redding.
Great place for all around music needs great knowledgeable staff
Open on Saturday
Nice place for a small music store. Had a good time talking about touring and music gear.
The two times I’ve been in there I’ve been completely ignored. They did welcome me in. But I stood at the counter waiting for the person to get off the phone. Which they were on for a good 25 minutes. Maybe I’m impatient idk. But I definitely wouldn’t have been treated like that by Bernie. He was so nice and encouraging. He always remembered me and said that I was talented and he enjoyed me and my brother coming in. This place just doesn’t do it for me. Going to Amazon from now on.
I ended up at brass reed. It was a more than pleasant experience. Just make sure they’re open before you drop In. I specifically needed stuff my guitar. They had everything I wanted and the guy working the counter took the time to ask me questions and actually help me.
Customer service is essential to me. I expect friendly staff that listen to me and try to help me. This is not that store. With unimpressive prices and staff, they convinced me not to go back.
Not sure about this one
5. Redwood Music Mart
Address: 511 F St, Eureka, CA 95501 , Trinity County , California , United States
Great little store. Was able to get a sweet bass guitar for an even sweeter deal. And the black Friday experience was even sweeter then that.
Good experience
Such a gem! Was recommended to this shop for their knowledge and expertise in saxophones. Went to purchase some reeds and the fellow working at the shop offered to give my new saxophone a test drive to see how it sounds. As a beginner, I was so thankful for this- he made it sound so clean! Hooked me up with basic needs for me to get started and had lots of musical instruments including vintage guitars, mandolins, ukelele’s, tongue drums, banjo’s, bongo drums, steel drums, drum sticks, tambourines and all kinds of accessories. It was my first time in this shop and definitely not my last 🙂
It is a private kind of shop, a bit more sedate and serious than 2 St, who. I also do business
Tom is so helpful and fair. My son plays several different instruments, Tom will help with any problems, solid advice about the value of his different instruments and use and care. I’ve bought a couple from him, backs up with repair and service for a year. You can tell he genuinely cares about the music.
This a great place. I’ve been dealing with Tom Dodson for 25+ years as a school music teacher. I’m now retired and I like this place that I still enjoy coming here. I now teach music lessons here because Tom is knowledgeable, has very good prices, and services all of his customers.
Great place good help always answers all my questions
Excellent knowledgeable staff and quality work.
Tasty lobster and clams
A good place for instrument repair.
Very rude and does not support the military. My friend served in the Navy for 22 years and all he did was ask do you offer military discounts and the guy was super rude. Said everybody gets a discount. Doesn’t matter if you’re in the military. And it was the way he said it was so disrespectful. A Simple no would have been great. Most places offer one so he asked. Then treated him like dirt after that.
I was totally ignored. People were in the building and I heard someone working behind the counter but I couldn’t see them. I rang the bell several times and even called out but I was completely ignored. I had money in my pocket ready to buy and left with nothing.
8. Wildwood Music Co
Address: 1027 I St, Arcata, CA 95521 , Trinity County , California , United States
Bought 2 Djembe’s from here. Love this place. for the size they have a lot of equipment.
A+ Experience for sure!
Father’s Day is going to be amazing thanks to Nick at Wildwood Music Co. (And Sam, the dope Customer of the Month was super rad too!)
Nick took the time to help pick out some really perfect items for my musically gifted father who is an Legend in Upstate, NY. He doesn’t need much from me but personal items like Wildwood pics and some quality guitar polish will really mean alot to him.
Special Shout Out to Nick for for making my 3rd trip to Arcata enjoyable and welcoming.
I noticed the shop is fully stocked with instruments and that’s a big deal as the pandemic really wiped some places out with an increase in demand. I strongly encourage you guys to check this place out.
Side note- I’d really love to buy a Wildwood Music Co. T-shirts so I hope they will consider bringing in some cool store merch. Maybe se hats or stickers too!
Thanks Nick and that random guy Sam who was super chill too!
Best music store this side of the Mississippi. Not only did they straighten out my beat up guitar, but they stoked me out on their A1 customer service.
Small, funky music store.
My favorite music store, have bought and sold many guitars and amplifiers there over the years.
We shall see.
Good things coming. Some pics of insperation.

I’ve been there 4 times since moving here.. just sucks.. over priced and very limited and you cant get any help shopping.they lost mega cash cuz they wouldnt even talk to me.try 2 street in eureka they sold me a few nice guitars at a really great price and…customer service lol..it’s really for college kids not real musicians.
Do not come here for electric instrument repairs. When I brought my bass in, I was simply told that my issue was non-existent. After I came in and demonstrated my instrument’s issue, the repairman instructed me to buy a specific input jack from the manufacturer’s website. Then when I brought the new input jack to the repairman he told me that I bought the wrong kind of jack. He offered to buy the part off me. Afterward, I called the manufacture website and discovered that I had actually bought the right part, and the repairman was incorrect. I brought my bass in again, where he claimed to have fixed the issue. But this was only temporary – my instrument is experiencing the same issue it had several months ago. I am not sure if this repairman is inexperienced or if he just blew me off.
Several friends have told me similar stories about this character from New York. I am disappointed because I’ve heard great things about the other luthier who works through this establishment.
9. Blue Heron Cases
Address: 1360 Cummings Creek Rd, Carlotta, CA 95528 , Trinity County , California , United States
My saxophone was repaired there and it works wonderful now the shop is also a convenient place to get reeds, guitar strings, drumsticks basic items that you would need if you are a musician the shop also repairs amplifiers and guitars and other instruments.
Owner is a bundle of information and is more than willing to share and help you with all your musical needs
I recently dropped my favorite vintage wah and in doing so, the original potentiometer broke. Needless to say, I was bummed! Then I took it into Brad and asked him if he could fix it. He said yes, and boy did he fix it! His tech work was timely and professional, and his willingness to make sure that I was happy with the work was absolutely apparent. If you are a musician in Siskiyou county and need some work done on your gear, I highly recommend checking out Brad at Sherlock Music.
Owners kinda of an a hole woundnt order strings for us, only wanted to sell us what he had
Guitar repair shop but I bought guitar strings .
Knows the music business.
Went in for strings and left with more notable
11. Mantova’s Two Street Music
Address: 124 2nd St, Eureka, CA 95501 , Trinity County , California , United States
Great shop. Best in humbolt. Helpful staff and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended for the guitar player or musician in you. New and used equipment as well. Love this place.
Get a hold of your instruments tuned up to sound great
Good music shop. Wide variety of musical instruments and supplies for all levels of experience. They also had some cool off the wall gadgets. Customer service was a definite 5 star rating! They were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I also appreciated the way the employees made it comfortable to pick up and try the instruments. The store hours are great, considering they were one of the few stores open on a Sunday morning. Great shop. It would be my local go to music store if I was local 🙂
I really like shopping here, there is no shortage of what you are looking for.
Your website says you are open. So I drove into town. You’re closed. Yes covid 19. But update your site plz so that people don’t drive to eureka only to realize it was a waste of time and gas.
I have a very expensive Martin D-42 and binding was loosed in a small area. I took my guitar in a guitar shop in Arcata. But they had referred me to a professional luthier. I went Mantova’s Two Street Music thinking it could be an easy fix. They had glued the binding but damaged the finish and leaving other marks on my guitar. The glue that they used specifically mentioned careful about damaging the finish. They had denied the damage and claimed the condition was pre existed. Be extremely careful dealing with this shop especially if you have high end instruments. Don’t leave your instrument with them. Their integrity is questionable.
Let’s just say I had a complaint about an employee and I felt it was handled poorly.
12. Grammer Guitar Works
Address: 477 Stephens Ln, Bayside, CA 95524 , Trinity County , California , United States
Love Temple Music. They are always extremely helpful and very friendly. They have a wide collection of vinyl records, along with CD’s, DVD’s, video games, local artwork, & much more. Take a moment to check them out.
Quaint really fun record, movie, game shop. Everything from vinyls to cds, vhs to blue ray, and games and games systems all the way back to NES and earlier. They are even willing to buy sell and trade with you. The gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and friendly
Sheet music: Little to none
Cool shop with a good selection of music. Retro games are pricey but that’s what to expect from a reseller these days. The games from the mid 90s back were limited. Good selection of 00’s forward.
Used to be a cool guy, lately bad pricing for items you are trying to sell. Offering less than GameStop prices, bad business. Would not recommend selling anything to this guy, sell your items on Facebook marketplace for double what he would have offered.
No punk or metal whatso ever just greenday blink and some other mainstream stuff
The top piano specialist and restorer on the west coast how it is only known in top circles and even lost to Google is just class warfare and unfair 4+ generations of piano building and restorations!
I was at Kimberly s wine shack enjoying this year’s chardonnay that has just been bottled.
Mike is a nice guy he knows a lot about pianos he can get your piano fixed it just takes a little time
Everything has been moved except the signs that tell you where things are. It was confusing for everyone including staff
Unfortunately did not have a good experience trying to book. Used the online booking service, was called and told my time slot was not available, so rescheduled it for 10am. Received an email at 10:08am saying he wasn’t going to make it and could I do the afternoon. Ok, frustrating but sure. He said he would come at “2 ish.” Got another email at 3:14pm saying he was sorry but couldn’t make it and would be out of town for a while. Emailed him again a week later to ask when he is available, no response. I would have appreciated a call when he was running late, or preferably for him to straight up say at the beginning that he was booked & would need to do a different day, so I wasn’t sitting at home all day.
20. Epperson Music
Address: 301 N Main St Suite D, Fort Bragg, CA 95437 , Trinity County , California , United States
Fantastic owner and great business! I was looking into buying a guitar there but didn’t like the way it played so he lowered the action, oiled the frets and replaced the strings for me! I came in the next day and it played so much better and smoother so I bought it!
Great tuners! Bought 2.
Epperson Music is Rad! I found my favorite ukulele yet! It is a beautiful acoustic/electric. Cory is also such a kind and chill person. Very helpful. Reasonable prices. Check it out!
