Unbiased, expert advice and knowledge are always cheerfully, and respectfully given on request. Whenever I'm in Homewood, I try to drop in and listen to or play some of the best instruments around.

Originally, I saw one hell of a fantastic item on their reverb listing. Defnitley had to buy it…read more Just like anything else, I wanted a bit more information on the item, and more questioning for shipping & handling etc. Not only do they respond instantly and informatively in reverb, but directly over the phone as well. There customer service is hands down, by far the best you will ever get. Once the gear arrived, man its mind blowing to see how well packaged their items were. Extremely secure, and job well done to the staff who put the time and effort to make them like that. After opening the goods, everything was in brand new condition. I can be super picky when it comes to nicks and cracks, and anything little that looks like it could of come from a bad packaging accident. Although when inspecting the item, I did not notice a single thing. All in all, this was one hell of an exciting first time experience with the store and will definitely be ordering from them again. I couldn't thank them enough for their great customer service!

I'm proud to be the first to review Homewood Music. From top to bottom, this place is amazing…read more The owner drives a model A Ford, not as a show piece, but as his everyday car. He and his one employee dress the part as well. While it sounds gimmicky, it's actually not. That is their honest style and it's reflected in all phases of the business. They specialize in stringed instruments and concertinas. Banjos, guitars, and mandolins adorn the walls in the main room. To the left of the cash register, you can peak into the workshop. You'll find some of the most beautiful banjos and guitars you've ever seen being made by hand. They don't just make instruments from scratch, but can repair your noisemaker, no matter what the damage. When you go by, be prepared to see cool sights, hear amazing stories, and pet a dog or two that has found a bed in a guitar case.

I have had Harold set up four guitars for me, and he's done a great job on every one. I have had…read moresome others in town do set up work. No complaints - they were fine. But Harold's work is just always exactly what I was looking for. I told someone a while back, "Take your guitar to Harold. After he gets done with it, you might drop it and break the neck, but it'll still be in tune and the action will still be lighting fast." His prices are fantastic and always gets me done within 48 hours of drop off. Harold is my official guitar tech.
