Metropolis Music

Stand up guy . My Univox bass pickup died .He rewound it . Amazing work great deals . I always tell my friends to go here for any work . He's the best in the area.

Actually 1.5 stars because the guys behind the counter are usually pretty cool. This store ripped me off on a "repair", and I feel needlessly risked damaging my instrument as well. I brought in my acoustic because of fret buzz. I was basically charged $40-50 for them to carelessly over-adjust the truss rod. The action was so high the instrument was unplayable. Such a careIess adjustment of a truss rod in a short period of time can damage a guitar. I will never again bring in an instrument here for repair. oh yea, the older guy who i assume is the owner was pretty rude

UPDATE: thank you for your response. the action was so high when i received the instrument back such that i found the instrument to be unplayable. after getting the guitar back, I re-adjusted the action myself to a point where the instrument was playable and fret buzz was mostly gone. it was obvious that several turns had been unnecessarily made on the truss, and IMO an instrument should never leave a shop in a state where the user must readjust it to make it playable.

I've been meaning to write a review for metropolis music for quite some time. Being a student here on and off for the last two years, with a stellar attendance rate, it's the least I could do.

First off, how cool is the name metropolis? If you're not immediately thinking guitar super hero, then read no further for we will not get along.

So like I said, I've been taking lessons here for a short while now and despite having a very hectic work schedule and being too old for parents to force me to practice consistently, and a husband who now probably hates guitar music because it really wasn't music for a long time, I kept coming back.

The store owner Mark is super cool, he has all sorts of different interests and I could spend hours just chatting with him about vintage cameras or when I will finally buy my first real guitar. (Walden, anyone?)

I've taken lessons with eddie, art, alex, and now finally with dan. I think you just have to find the right teacher for your style, but they were all rock gods in their own way. Very intimidating to jam with them and especially embarrassing when you didn't practice.

But they are all awesome and even as an adult, I highly recommend checking out the store if you want to take lessons, buy an instrument, or just learn something new!

Can't recommend this place enough!

I got ripped off on pro mark hot rods. I needed them today, so it's great that the shop exists, but they were 27 bucks without tax. At Guitar Center they are 14 bucks. I told the store clerk and he told me that he didn't have a distribution deal with Promark. Ok- fine, but even if they are buying them from Guitar Center at regular consumer prices Metropolis would still be making a 93% mark up.
I love small shops and would love to support, but the price was outrageous and they gave me a kind of BS excuse too. Not happy.

A great music store, friendly atmosphere and I could not be happier with the customer service. I had new strings put in my violin and it was ready in no time. If you at the store, ask for Hector - he`s very knowledgeable and will patiently answer all your questions and give great suggestions. I have just started my adventure with the violin and he was a big help to me. The store also offers some classes which I may be taking in the near future. Also, the prices are reasonable too! Highly recommended! A++
