Love love love Jampro! My daughter has been a student for almost 8 years now. She has taken voice,…read moreguitar, bass and piano lessons here, but has found her passions to be vocals and bass. She has been a part of several amazing bands through Jampro, playing both at their awesome on-site stage and at festivals and businesses here in town. The improvement in her musical talents has been a beautiful and impressive journey that continues to leave me in awe. All of the teachers have been excellent and top caliber musicians themselves. Jampro often served as a safe space for my daughter during some difficult times through the years. They treated her like family and I will forever be grateful. The facility is top notch and every thing you'd expect from a high end studio and more. They even have courses to learn audio production and DJ. I invite anyone to take a tour as you will be wowed by all they offer. The programs are not cheap, but I've found them to be worth every penny and a truly worthy investment in my daughter.

Let me ask you a few questions... Would you believe that…read morethere's a 10,000 square foot facility in South Reno that has a staff of masters level musicians with performance backgrounds that provide instruction on guitar, piano, voice, and stringed instruments in 11 monitored and sound proof practice studios? Would you believe in the same 10,000 sq ft. facility there's a full scale production studio complete with top of the line computers, mixing and sound boards, and an isolation room to record vocals? Would you believe that in that same 10,000 sq. ft. facility there's a 500 person capacity theater with a performance stage decked out with state-of-the-art lights, smoke, and sound that's used to host special events and provide student bands with the real deal experience of playing before a live audience? What about if I told you they also had a full scale production lab where you can learn how to produce music and even learn how to DJ on the best digital turntables available? And last but not least, would you believe me if I told you they also have a music retail store with everything you could possibly want or need, including exclusive brands of effects pedals and other equipment? Welcome to Jampro Music Factory. This is seriously a place like no other, with no detail spared, and a passion for providing the best music education experience you can imagine. Close your eyes and picture the quintessential Hollywood recording studio, complete with wood floors, beautifully decorated walls, and big open windows to see what's going on, and that's what you'll find at Jampro. To me it seems like the new businesses that have opened in the last year have really done a lot to elevate the standards of our community. From bars and restaurants, to our local farmers and artisans, and everything in between. It seems like each week I learn about one more business adding to this momentum, and this past week, it was Jampro Music Factory. Thanks to Robert and Ly S., their Yelp photos, check-ins, and reviews, I now know what it's all about and I can't wait to return!

This place is absolutely insane. 2 managers hung up on my brother, who was unable to walk due to…read moresurgery, when he called to inquire about my picking up his online order and the difficulty associated with it. I drove over 30 miles to pick up this order for him and while 4 other items on order had no problems, they claimed there was a credit issue with the guitar. They did not tell us this when we called for pick up info, did not tell us this when we arrived and gathered all other items, and only claimed there was an issue after 2 phone calls from my brother AND me going back inside. I asked for a manager in person and both refused to come out and speak with me. I will NEVER return to this place. This is not the first time we've had problems. Their service is garbage, and so is their product. Wish I could give zero stars.

My ukulele developed a small crack, and needed repair. At the same time, how lucky to be in a town where a skilled luthier is on hand! Wesley at Strings of Reno (new name of the business) offers free estimates, and when I explained the problem, he gave a very detailed explanation of why humidity control is important and some immediate suggestions on how to manage it in a practical way. His estimate for repair was reasonable, and turnaround time was 3 weeks. Great to know if I need a new setup or adjustment he's nearby! His workshop, by the way, is pretty cool. You can see his tools and an array of instruments and some retail from the customer counter. TIP: From the street, go down the shared driveway/alley and park in the center when you see the "Strings of Reno" sign.

Really impressed with Wesley's knowledge and demeanor. Very friendly and helpful, and his shop (now…read morecalled Strings of Reno) is stocked with all kinds of useful stuff for musicians. His pricing for our ukulele repair was very reasonable and he didn't try to upsell us on anything. Also provide fantastic advice regarding proper humidification. The location itself is a little out of the way, but worth the drive for top-notch service that you can trust.

How have I not reviewed this place before?? This is, hands down, the best music shop in town! While…read moreI was a musician in my former life, my son is the reason why we keep coming back to Blue Note B's. Blue Note B's was originally recommended to us by my son's trumpet player as THE place to get his horn serviced. They were able to get his antique horn (which once belonged to my late grandfather, a jazz musician from St. Louis, and which sat on a shelf for decades before my son came along) into great playing shape - including straightening out a bend in the lead pipe and getting slides and valves to not stick. My son still plays this special trumpet in a jazz band but also now plays bass in another jazz band. We have been to Blue Note B's for several repairs on his bass instruments - and I have been so impressed with how Wesley has handled many different issues and his expert advice. He has "saved the day" on more than one occasion (thank you, Wesley!!) and has been very patient with my perfectionist son. We have also found other staff to be knowledgeable and accommodating, too. No doubt, this will always be our "go-to" place for all of our musical needs. We are lucky to have Blue Note B's here in Reno!

I was told I'd be charged 30 equal payments and the instrument would be paid off. They charged me 46 payments, an overcharge of nearly $500.

When I asked for a refund (based on original agreement) I was denied and told I could apply it toward an upgraded instrument (current policy). I'd give 0 stars for a deceptive trade practice if I could.

This past weekend I was going to breakfast down the way, and had some time to kill with the wait so wondered on down. This is a GREAT local music shop with small venue in the back. So many instruments and a very cozy/warm atmosphere. The converted house is the perfect building for this type of business. The owner (or one of them?) was quick to greet us and show us around the place. I tried out a couple of vintage instruments when I was there and he was very knowledgeable and informative about what I was playing. Looking forward to coming back for a live performance at sometime. They seem to have routine jam sessions as well as touring musicians stopping by the place.

We rang the doorbell and were greeted by one of the owners, Don, and his dog LadyBug. Don informed us that if we were looking for records, we were in the wrong place but told us to come check out what they DID have. Mountain Music Parlor is a cute little shop filled with all sorts of instruments. So many that you'll have to go see for yourself including endless ukuleles, cricket violins, guitars, and more. The most amazing thing about Don was that no matter what obscure musical instrument or accessory we asked about, Don had it! From cajons to violin mutes. He also showed us the performance room where they have different jam sessions including Celtic nights, Old Time, Cowboy, Aloha Ukulele, Open Mic, and Bluegrass. They also have music lessons available for various instruments. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon Mountain Music Parlor and will definitely be getting all of my musical knick knacks from them for the foreseeable future. Always excited when I can support great local businesses like this!
