This place is a treasure of Decatur. Inside are tons of guitars, picks and all kinds of other music items. They are moving to bank street but I hope people continue to shop this place! Thank you Emily and Ron for your kindness and the warm welcome every customer gets! Thanks to Jerry and Chester for being wonderful employees and great to talk to as well!

The reason I keep going back is that I believe in the integrity of this family owned business and you won't find a better family owned business than Alabama Music.

Really impressed with the offerings at this location. Based on another Yelp review they apparently…read morehave two other locations, I've never been to either, but if they offer the same service and product as this location they would be a great option if they are in your area. Came here a couple times, once to drop something off for service and once to see what they had to offer for a band student needing a sax. The service area is large and I think heavily geared towards local bands. Staff is very knowledgeable and prices seem reasonable for the services. The instruments they offer cover the spectrum of musical taste. They don't have a ton of one type of instrument (for example electric guitars - they maybe have a dozen or so) but they are good price points covering from beginner to advanced. Staff is all friendly and willing to help out. If they specialize in an area they are quick to make sure they get you with the person that would be the expert in that area, but if they aren't available they are more than willing to help/take care of you. Overall have had nothing but good experiences here and would recommend them to anyone.

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.

But Harold's work is just always exactly what I was looking for. I told someone a while back, "Take your guitar to Harold.

His prices are fantastic and always gets me done within 48 hours of drop off. Harold is my official guitar tech.
