I just got back from a great experience at Diplomate. Man, I love when I'm so happy with a business…read morethat I can't wait to write it up for y'all to see! Diplomate is a small music store on Beaubien, near the metro. They don't have everything, so I hadn't thought to check them out in my last couple weeks of looking for a certain pedal. But walking by today I stuck my head in and was amply rewarded. Not only did they have it, it was significantly cheaper than anywhere else I've seen it! And even more importantly, the service: respectful, helpful, no music store snark at all. I think a player of any instrument at any level in their playing would be treated like a valued customer here, and that's as it should be. 5 stars for sure! And thanks!!

Steve's new store on Sainte-Catherine is a must for every musician in Montreal area, they don't…read morehave any choice as Palais des congrès ( Congress house) ask them to moved as they are rule by government it was move or die choice. so after being on sainte-Antoine street (old Montreal) since 1965 ! They moved to downtown last summer. Their store is in a nice spot in front of bar Foufounes Électriques on main street ( Sainte-Catherine) and inside they have less space but everything is nicely placed (unlike the old store were everything was place in a spot wherever they can put it. And they have a nice stage were they want to put live artist and it should be really interesting new idea in future. After the owner died (Steve Kirkland RIP), his son want to keep it going. I will see if they can survive in this new era were most peoples buy used in Canada as most new music gear is overprice cause of USA currency over CND dollar. But this is the the ultimate music store in Montreal, the only thing is that they don't do exchange (old guitar for an new one) unlike lots of stores in the province, so maybe it can be a new thing that can make them earn more profits if they change it. When i was younger salesmen were rude, but now they are super friendly ( maybe it's because older peoples have more money than younger ones but i think that they should take care more of their customers. But now they're friendly and competent. This place was the place were any Montreal musicians went to buy gears. In their old store they have a wall full of pictures with autograph pix with well known musicians like Aldo Nova, April wine, Frank Marino, Voi Vod, Simple Plans etc. So if you want to go to the Montreal best music Store you'll find the place. Long live Steve's ! Le nouveau magasin de Steve's music est la place pour les musiciens à Montreal ! Steve's music à du déménager car le Palais des Congrès leurs a ordonné de déménager sinon il aurait été exproprié. Il était dans leurs ancien local depuis les années 60 ! Le nouveau magasin très bien situé rue Sainte-Catherine en face des Foufounes Électriques. Il ont un peu moins de place mais il y a une petite scène ou ils vont invités des bands à faire de petites prestations, ce qui devrait être très intéressant ! Après le décès de leur fondateur (Steve Kirkland RIP) son fils a voulu continuer le magasin. Nous allons voir si il vont survivre, car maintenant avec la montée des prix des instruments à cause de la montée du dollars USA, les gens achète surtout des instruments usagés. Je pense que s'ils fesait des échanges ils pouraient faire plus d'argent avec tous les magasins hors Montréal qui en font et qui réussisent bien. Quand j'était plus jeunes les vendeurs étaient assez bêtes avec les jeunes ( pensant qu'il n'avait pas d'argent, je me souvient que mon guitariste c'est fait demandé si il avait de l'argent pour acheter un ampli !). Mainetenant les vendeurs sont gentils et compétents.g La nouvelle adresse est bien propre et bien rangé contrairement au vieux magasin ou tout était mis là ou il y a de la place un peu n'importe comment ! C'est le meilleur magasin de musique à Montréal C'était la place ou tous les musiciens allaient acheter leurs stocks ! Dans le vieux magasin il y avait un mur plein de photo de musiciens connu comme Aldo Nova, April Wine, Frank Marino, Voi Vod, Simple Plan etc. Si vous chercher le meilleur magasin de musique à Montréal vous l'avez trouvé ! Long vie à Steve's music !

not impressed at all. Get to the location to start my dj gig:missing power cable for speaker!!…read moreEnded up doing it with a single speaker which was hardly loud enough for the space. Awful as I specifically asked if everything worked fine before I left the rental office. I asked if they'd tried it before packing it into my vehicle. Never renting from them again. This is unacceptable.

Merci à Jonathan et Alexis (et une troisième personne derrière le comptoir qui mettait le piano…read moredans la boîte) !!! Votre service à été super courtois, agréable, judicieux et j'ai été charmée par votre sens de l'humour! J'ai installé mon piano numérique (sur le stand DOUBLE, Alexis) et joué (un nocturne de Chopin pour débutants) dès mon retour à la maison. Formidable! Les touches acoustiques! Le son! Je suis certaine que je progresserai plus rapidement! Comme tu le sais, Jonathan, jusqu'à il y a quelques jours, je pratiquais à la maison sur un vieux casio dont les touches (supposément acoustiques) ne me donnaient pas du tout la même sensation que les touches du piano acoustique de ma prof. C'était toujours un choc de jouer chez-elle. Ce temps est révolu grâce à vos bons conseils! Encore mille mercis!

They have a wide area of guitars, basses, ukeleles, and even mandolins! Half of the store is dedicated to pianos, and a great store clerk answered our many questions. The store is a lot of fun! Do highly recommend.
