I met Mike Wallace more than 35 years ago when I took my teen-aged son to Bowlby's for guitar…read morelessons. He stuck with it for awhile and played off and on after he grew up and left home. Like most things, life gets in the way and people give up things they like the most. He kept his guitar though. During Covid, with plenty of time at home, he started playing it again. All the things Mike taught him about the music of the guitar--the notes as well as chords, picking as well as strumming--it all came back to him. So imagine our surprise when he contacted his dad and asked him to help him make a wooden, Appalachian-style banjo! He sent him links to his online research and gave him a month or so to acquire what he needed before he came to the QC a month later to run the Bix. Thanks to another "Mike" at Native Woods in Rock Island, the wood was purchased and cut so the two of them could assemble and string it when he arrived for the race. Enough of the project was done that week so he could finish it back in his apartment in Brooklyn, NY. This never would have happened without those guitar lessons with Mike Wallace at Bowlby's many years ago.

Mike Wallace is my go-to guy for all of my guitar and amplifier servicing needs. I have known him…read morefor over twenty years since he was working at Bowlby Music, and my experiences with him have always been positive. From everything as simple as getting picks to restringing a guitar all the way up to replacing the filter capacitors in my 1968 Fender Bandmaster, Mike is the one that you want working on your gear. A Triple Plus service and quality!!!

Compared to the store in Davenport, this is a waste of time…read more The store itself is up a rather steep stair case and has a moldy smell. The man working on Saturday was obviously not customer focused. He never greeted us and spent the whole time shooting the s#€t with his buddy. My husband made a serious inquiry about some speakers and the 'unsalesman" said he didn't know because they were on consignment. In the next breath he went back to his friend. We will continue to frequent the superior Davenport store

Good mixture of new and used vinyl. We checked out the sister store across the river. Both are a bit different so if you have the time stop by both and start flipping.

They are willing to think "outside the box" (they couldn't locate the key, so they found a similar keyboard and switched them). I love these people!

It took Best Buy at least 20 to tell me that they did not know what was wrong and that it would cost me a couple of hundred dollars just to look at it.

Go ask him if you're curious!). Then we checked out the beautiful flutes and feels of the different options. Also went over to see the tenor ukuleles and bases in the guitar room, and Mark was walking me through the options and explaining the backgrounds of the different companies. He also helped point out to me options on different levels, like the basics versus instruments with "extras," or the higher end ones. Dana also had welcomed us as we walked in, and he and my husband connected over the organ - musicians of which are comparatively rare. You can tell the people here love what they do, and want to share it with you too. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town!

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a long haired gentleman named Tony.

You could tell she had played through the books and even gave me a few of her favorites. It's a busy store, divided in two rooms, with lessons going on in the back. When you first walk in the front doors its all guitars and drums and rock and roll kind of stuff. Then to the right it is more band instruments, such as flutes and clarinets and such. Great place for pop sheet music! What a collection!
