Tyhee: Overview of the top 20 music shops

Original review was a complaint at one store. After contacting management/owner, they replied promply and went above and beyond to fix the problem, Kurt went above and beyond just fixing the problem. I will definitely be back.

Bought an old Bundy Selmer tenor sax there. Plays like a dream. A fairly inexpensive dream. Also good harmonicas.

Support local business!
Great staff, very helpful. I have been buying kids band books and supplies here for over 5 years.

Friendly and helpful

Has a pretty good selection of just about anything a guitarist might need and a friendly staff.

This is my go to bass store, real close to my house, Great Staff, 4 stars because nothing’s perfect

Absolutely horrible customer service. You lost a long time customer.

Very rude people. Extremely over priced. Their used guitars, even the ones in bad shape, are way too much. They take advantage of you not knowing much about how much a guitar or musical instrument is worth, and they rip you off. Please, do not buy from here. I like to support local businesses, but I will not support this one or the owner who I have witnessed multiple times taking advantage of people. Go to any other music store in Pocatello, but please do not support this business.

Rude from the second we walked in the door. I immediately knew I didn’t want to do business with them.

Great store and their guitars and uke selection is top notch.

We are renting a flute and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

Great guys to work with! Very helpful and knowledgeable about their selection. I will be back for sure!

We went in close to closing and the girl told us that about 3 times. Made us somewhat uncomfortable

Nice place

Not happy, won’t return or recommend

Not friendly

Great place!!!

The people who work here are very helpful and knowledgeable about the items in the store. If they dont know they will help you answer any questions ranging from simple things like the cheapest or most expensive items in the store, to exact specifications about the instruments or product you are searching for. Compared to other music stores, especially in the area, they are inexpensive as well. If you are in the area and love music then check them out. They have alot of items from ukuleles to harps to drum sets and everything to maintain and use the product effectively

They, well Chris fixed my bass which had terrible fret buzz. I thought it was un-fixeable. He made it great and only charged me $15 for the set up. Lovely place to fix my bass.

Fun place to go
Lots of cool stuff

Knowledgeable and friendly staff

I love the store. Alot of selections from guitars, basses, banjo’s keyboards, drums , everything! Friendly staff too who are willing to help you out find what you want. I would highly recommend this business.❤️

So it’s a toss-up I mean I went in and bought a brand new piece of equipment and a used piece of equipment the same time so far the turntable turned out to be professional and nice course it was brand new it’s what I would expect from Stanton music. And then there’s the factor of the didn’t work it shouldn’t have been on the shelf so if you’re going to buy for main Street music taking electronics professional in with you or music specialist in with you and make sure that your purchases sound otherwise only buy new.

She sounds really good. Enjoyed the show.

Don’t look any further. Hire Alexa and Dan.

My husband and I hired Alexa and Dan for our Wedding in September of this year and it was the best decision we made.
I can’t say enough about how truly amazing they were and continue to be for us.
Alexa has such an incredible voice, heart, and soul. Our guests absolutely LOVED her. The live music was everything and more that I could have ever dreamed of. It’s been one month and I still have guests from our wedding raving about how amazing she was and always tell me they’ll remember her name to recommend to their own family and friends.
Dan was also incredible with our dance playlist, accommodating our guests, and organizing our timeline and events. Our wedding ran so smoothly because of him.
I mentioned that my three year old nephew would request “Bad To The Bone” because he’s an inspiring bull rider and that is his favorite song to ride to. Dan not only played it for him when he requested it, he announced him just as you would a bull rider and it made our day even more special.
Out of every single vendor we hired I would hire Alexa and Dan over and over and over again. I’ve been to many wedding with many other live bands and DJ’s well known and not, and in my opinion these two are the best of the best.
They went ABOVE AND BEYOND I know this post isn’t even doing them justice. Just know if you decide to book Alexa or the both of them for whatever event you’re having your guests are going to gush about it, you won’t find anyone better, and on top of them being incredible at what they do you’ll meet two of the best people in our area. You will be smitten just like Brian and I are!

10/5 Stars.

Alexa and Dan were the PERFECT choice for our wedding. Alexa has a beautiful voice and we loved having her preform during different parts of our reception. They were great at keeping the party alive, as well as slowing it down when needed. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. They helped us throughout the whole process and made us more comfortable dancing in front of the guests. They are great to communicate with and will answer any questions you have. I would 100% recommend them for live music / DJ!

Great place to be when your lookong for movies to watch fpr a excellent price. Thank u Budget.

Great music shop been here since the 70s will order in music and media for you great place to find some records or get music or video transfered from cassette or old family vhs to digital.

Great service! Awesome stuff!

For CD,S they need more inventory more category but a clean store

Nice store a bit pricey but they have good n knowledgeable

Cool little shop that I got to search the vinyl bins when I was in town for a tattoo.

I wish I had the right words to paint the picture of what Larissa’s music turned our daughters wedding into… it definitely transformed an ordinary wedding into a complete fairytale! It made it go from just a wedding to a very classy, elegant event that upped the whole feel to a place everyone wanted to be able to say “I was there!!!” It was very elegant but also so fun… the deep, rich sound of Larissa’s violin couldn’t help but bring even more emotion and tears watching our daughter walk down the aisle with her dad! Out of all of the decisions we made to have at the wedding hiring Larissa was THE BEST one and my most favorite one we made… not to mention we LOVED HER just as much as her incredible talent… she is a permanent member of our family now!!! The whole experience couldn’t have been more perfect from beginning to end!!!! DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING A WEDDING WITHOUT HER!!! It would be like having the wedding cake with no frosting… it just makes it so much sweeter!!!! And she’s cute too!!

Larissa is a classy and talented violinist! She not only plays because she loves the violin and the music that she shares, but because she loves to touch the hearts of those who hear her play! She touches my heart with her music!!♥️ ♥️

We hired Larissa to play at our wedding reception. Best decision ever!
The kids were entranced when she was playing while walking around. Several of our guests mentioned that she was the best wedding entertainment they had heard.
Larissa is a very talented violinist! I wouldn’t hesitate in the least to hire her for any event.
Thank you for helping make our day special.

Jenna played at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I heard so many compliments! One of the best parts of the whole wedding! She was very considerate and easy to work with, 10/10 recommend! Thank you Jenna!!

Awesome experience as always. Quint is very knowledgeable of everything pertaining to music, all genres. Specialty items are in stock and they are searching for other vintage collectible items I’m interested in. I have purchased may hard to find Lps and even had a complete sound system built just for what I was looking for. Love this place!

Nice place with great condition of vinyls

An amazing store and experience. Fantastic selection and the best customer service.

Vintage vinyl is a great place if you’re looking for old analog stereo equipment to add to your collection or the old analog sound from digital equipment it’s got a great variety as well as some great classic rock and roll some new age stuff and some hip hop and techno music all in classic vinyl LP’s. if you’re looking for something specific he can also order it for you. This is a top notch grade A, record store, A must visit. you’ll enjoy your experience. I did.

Just recently got into vinyl. Interesting store with an ice cream shop antique shop and lots of vinyl. Vinyl seemed fair priced. Wish they had somewhat newer vinyl on hand but they will still order whatever you want.

Lots of great stuff to look at the employee was very well informed of what everything is and can answer all questions .

Alot of records pretty well organized but the guy was a jerk to me. And wouldn’t help me find the artist I was after hovered around me like I was gonna steal. I’m not going back.

I guess it’s okay if you have a car. I walk everywhere I go, I carry a cart with me and when I went in a man who was talking to an employee, implied that He thought I was going to shoplift. PLEASE!!!! For one thing I am not so strapped on money I need to shoplift, nor would I sink to such a level, another thing, nothing in you’re store is worth going to jail for. Lol.

Shawn seems like an awesome musician with a passion to teach others! My son really enjoys the lessons, and has developed a greater appreciation of music.

Natalia is a remarkable piano teacher who goes above and beyond. Rather than just focusing on teaching playing techniques, she encourages my daughters to explore the myrid emotions that music can evoke. Throughout the past eight years, her dedicated instruction has not only helped my girls develop their skills, but has also sparked a deep and genuine love for msuic within them. We highly recommend Natalia to anyone who seeks to immerse their children in the enchanting world of music.

I have extremely enjoyed my experience with Natalia as my accompanist. She is very hardworking and dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in her playing, whether in her solo performances or in accompanying. She is always on time and prepared as well as dedicated to making a performance as best as possible. She demands excellence from herself and others and achieves this by working together as a team. I also really appreciate that she has her schedule updated and posted on her website so as to allow easy access and scheduling for rehearsals and events. I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about music.

My daughter has been learning piano with Natalia for one and a half years through online zoom learning and I have been extremely satisfied.

First of all, Natalia has a great ability to make the class fun for young kids and also provides tons of valuable guidance to students. My eight-year-old girl enjoys every minute of the class and feels the joy of playing the piano. For example, Natalia uses little googly eye stickers to help my girl learn crescendo, as well as cat paw demonstrations to help her understand hand movements. This teacher also uses lovely toys and decorations to cheer up my daughter when she encounters difficulties. Finally, at the end of each class, Natalia plays a guess the composer game to help my daughter gain familiarity with the great composers.

Meanwhile, my daughter is making very good progress. She has learned Artist Literature from the Preparation level to Book 4 during the last one and half years. My daughter also learned how to add chords to a melody and is currently working on Certificate of Achievement Level 6 and Fundamentals of Piano Theory Level 2.

Additionally, Natalia has awesome communication skills and is excellent at explaining complicated concepts in an easy way for kids to understand. It makes the online lesson much easier and more effective. Also, Natalia is very responsible and approachable, responding to every single after-class question within several hours. Sometimes, she records 20-minute videos to answer my questions and help my daughter solve problems. I really appreciate her dedication.

I would definitely recommend Natalia as an excellent music teacher to those of you searching for a quality experience for your own children.

Below is my daughter’s little writing.

Hi, I’m an 8-year-old student of Natalia and I’ve been learning with her for a few months. She’s really funny, every class, she let me pick a sticker as a helper, also if you get an A++, she might give you a smiley cat. Natalia makes fun videos where she teaches kids to play scales, cadences and others, sometimes, her cat joins.

Great teachers, great environment, and great music!!

This is the BEST music school. I was lucky enough to take both fiddle and mandolin lessons at Snake River Strings Co. Shelby and all of her employees do an incredible job to keep everyone involved in their learning and provide lots of activities, jam sessions and unique (fun!) performances as supplements! They truly take to heart the sentiment that music is for everyone! Top Notch!!

Had a wonderful beginners lesson for the ukulele.

What a fun day of music!

Great people, professional installation, incredible prices.

Sound source always does quality work. Weather its a sound system, remote start, or heated seats, they always do great work at a fair price! All the employees are wonderful to work with and answer all the questions thrown their way! I will always recommend Sound Source!!

I am very pleased with the work and customer service I received at Sound Source. Just had them install a Stereo amp and lower speakers on my 2008 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. What a job Andrew did. Very professional and clean. Cost was very Fair with the work and hours that was spent doing the job. Due to my work schedule I had to drop it off and the stored it for me for 2 days no cost. They have my Business and anyone who asks me for referrals. Thanks again Soun Source and Andrew system sounds so awesome. Very pleased what also was so nice no surprises on price or issues exactly what was quoted and above what was expected.

I spent $150 to have a pioneer deck and steering wheel/onstar/chime interface hooked up along with an antenna adapter part. I got the car back and the speakers were out of phase, they fixed it. The steering wheel buttons don’t work right, I was told that I would have to pay extra money to have it programmed or I would have to buy their interface unit which was 50 dollars more. I went ahead and programmed the interface myself which took no more than 20 min. They did a professional job on the hook up and I understand mistakes happen, but I am not happy with the cost nor lack of final programming.

Sound Source did an awesome job on our new stereo system in our Toyota TRD…. About 4 weeks later we decided to sell.the truck and buy a new GMC 3500 with the fancy tail gate you can turn into an outdoor stereo. So once again went to talk to Kyle, actually twice visited him. He completely forgot about it…surprised us….we were great customers and were giving him fantastic recommendations…Sorry Kyle…

Finished product was good, kind of hard getting to that point. Was quoted $85 to install new stereo, I had everything needed. Gave them all the information over the phone and thought I was good to go. When I arrived they wanted another $50 to install the steering wheel controls. Even though I told them what I had over the phone. Ended up spending $25 extra instead of $50. When I picked it up later that day there was a static fuzz sound and I asked about it and they said I needed another part because of the Infinity System Amp. Which again, they knew about it over the phone. Of course that cost another $30, which apparently was a “deal” because they normally charge $40 plus installation. Needless to say I was not happy paying an extra $55 to have something installed and working correctly when they told me $85. I do however like the finished product, but I would assume other shops would be able to provide that finished product as well. I am not sure I would recommend them based on my experience.

They are crazy expensive.

Went in here for bulk 8g wire and was basically hustled. $3/ft. Absolutely ridiculous. Guess I’m buying online…

Wanted them to install a sub and amp, quoted me 300 dollars for parts and 300 for labor. Bought the same stuff on Amazon for 55 and put it in myself. Just not as professional but I saved hundreds.
