I've purchased numerous items from Hart Music. I've visited dozens of times. This is a great family run, honest to goodness local business. -- the type that we need to support OR they go away. Never any issues. Solid selection. Solid communication. Integrity in spades! read more

The employees I met there were very helpful and friendly, even though I had no money to spend. The selection is quite thorough; with guitars, basses, keyboards, drums and more. I would recommend to anyone who plays. read more

Over the years I have spent thousands of dollars at J B HART Music and have always been 100% satisfied. They always have what I want/need and their service is the best, their prices are fair and compatible to the 'big box' stores. They are among the top friendliest retailers I've ever dealt with. You can't go wrong with J B HART. read more

Best service and fair prices for musicians alike whether it's new or used instruments. Great choices for guitar players also

These guys are great. Always helpful and personable. Lots of selection. They were super helpful when I traded in my old Strat for a newer, upgraded one and they seemed just excited about it as I was. Tons of pedals and amps to pick from. They never care if you sit and play something even if you're only there for strings. The drum cave is pretty sweet too. Great, honest people. Highly recommend this place to anyone. By far the best music store in town. Pictures below show my trade in. Initially I had picked up a different a different colored Mexican Strat but but the frets were sharp and after a few days I realized I couldn't take it. When I returned a few days later they were super great about switching it for this upgraded American model and I just paid the difference in cost. No restocking fee (I think they tell you you have a week to do that, but double check their return policy for yourself). read more

See all

I've been buying gear from these guys for 20 years. Bought a Yamaha grand and several high-end keyboards along with misc stuff. I have always gotten great advice. Their prices seem to be spot on with Guitar Center and other online stores. My recommendation: buy local, keep this place in business. read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable. I'm just passing through but would definitely be a regular if I was local. It was a pleasure visiting the store. read more

This is a very professional music store. The customer service is A++++ The owner has 50 years of experience and knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hart Music to my friends and family. I was looking for a Roland piano amplifier that no one could find....even online. The owner found this amplifier and I was the first to get the newest model. This store will do there BEST to help you find what you need. Furthermore, the shipping time was FAST. Mesa Music ships all over the United States. read more

My favorite music store in town (for guitars). The staff are all pretty cool (although sadly I can't remember any of their names). There's the owner, Mr. Hart himself, and his son, and several others. My favorite guy there is their banjo guy. I don't personally play banjo, but enjoy watching him demo the product. The shop seems pretty small at times, and thats because it is PACKED full of instruments. They have such a huge selection of guitars, it is very easy for a guy to waste hours here drooling. They also have a number of pianos, from uprights to grands, and high end keyboards. And their basement area has been converted into the "drum cave" (most drummers belong in caves so its fitting, heh). Notable guitar/bass brands: Takamine (they even have an acoustic bass every now and then), Warwick, Ibanez, Fender, and so on. Really, if its a quality brand, its likely you will find it here. Again, huge selection. I really like a few of the guys at Mesa Music, and personally know the guys at Backporch (full disclosure, I've bought a bass from them too), but I think I personally prefer Hart the most of all. As for price, it is usually pretty fair, and one time I found a guitar I had wanted for a while in their shop. They wanted $110 less for it than Musician's Friend (blew me away). Needless to say, I snatched it up right away (they even threw in a carrying case, free of charge). read more

I've been to music stores all over the world, and none of them have the vibe that the Hart family has created over the years. Everything in the store is perfectly clean and tuned for all to try. It amazes me a small local business can price match with the big box shops like guitar center. They have the best selection of Martin guitars I have ever seen. Amazing grand pianos, and electric keyboards. They make every person who walks in the door feel like family! As long as they are open, there is no need to shop anywhere else! Thank you. read more

J B Hart Music - Some of my collection I have got from them over the years! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

I really enjoy going into this store whether I buy anything or not. They always have a great selection of guitars as well as other instruments in stock. The guys are cheerful, friendly and ready to help you if you need information or advice. This is the best music store in western Colorado and better than many of the ones found in larger cities. Stop in and see the Hart family. You will not be disapointed. read more

Fantastic family-owned music store. The best selection of Fender guitars I've ever seen. Also, check out the stupendous "drum cave" in the basement. This place KICKS THE CRAP out of any Guitar Center. Really great read more

Great family-owned business. Staff almost always greets you. Great selection, prices, and service. Great to have this type of business nearby. Keep up the great work! read more

Been shopping here for about 15 years. They are always quick to help with anything I need. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my music equipment. read more

If you're a musician, Hart Music is the place to go. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable, and the business has been run by the Hart family the whole time. This ain't your corporate music store. read more

This must be the place! Everytime I visit a different city, I'm always on the lookout for the cool music store in town. You know, the one that actually knows what the good stuff is and actually tries to carry some of it. I won't have to look any further when in G-Junct (but of course I still will 'cause that's how I rock). Cool place. read more

I've always had good experiences here. Jan (I think he's the general manager. He's the older gentleman) is very attentive to customers. The first time I went in there, it was during Oktoberfest or some kind of downtown celebration of the sort. They were pretty busy in the store but they helped me find a guitar humidifier and I just wanted one pack and they went through the extra trouble to take just one out of the package for me and just charged me for one of them instead of the whole pack. That was really nice of them. Then when I went in again because I was dissatisfied with the product's performance, they contacted D'Adario for me directly and D'Adario sent me a whole new pack for free read more

I bought a Martin acoustic this weekend from Hart Music and it is awesome! I've been looking for over a year trying to find the perfect guitar. I've stopped at music stores in Denver, Kansas City, Lawrence, KS, as well as others in Grand Junction. I've played other Martins in Guitar Centers and other shops and was really disappointed in the action. Usually the strings are old and rusty as well. They didn't play as well as the cheap Cort I've had for 20 years and is basically worn out. Not only did it play well, of the 4 or 5 guitars I tried, all were in tune, had decent strings, and played well. Setup was good and action was nice. I was very impressed with that. You know what your getting and not gambling that a proper setup will produce the guitar you're looking for. Staff was knowledgeable. I told him what I was looking for and he started pulling guitars out of cases. I would highly recommend this store to anyone. read more

My wife and I stopped in here on a road trip a couple months ago, I was looking for a nice affordable guitar and I definitely found it, a great sounding 12 string Ovation guitar which came with a hard case. It was a great deal and the staff was incredibly friendly, especially the nice man who helped us out not only with the guitar but gave us a great tip about taking 128 to arches and some other helpful information. Great experience and wanted to say thanks. read more

Wonderful business. The staff are always very friendly and knowledgable, the selection is diverse, and the prices are excellent. They really go out of their way to make sure you get a great deal. And downtown GJ is the coolest place in town! read more
