Interesting that these clowns advertise both online and even on the door that they buy, trade or…read moreconsign musical instruments. Last week I took two mid-level guitars in to do consignment. I've never been so insulted. These clowns must have assumed they were stolen. "Where'd you get them? Why are you selling?..." Hey pal, I have multiple instruments and these were two I almost never play (as if it's any of their business). They claimed there were problems with both and weren't interested. Now, I have done business with them multiple times, but they can kiss this customer goodbye! I'm not a thief, but these guys are jerks. To prove these were from my personal collection, I've included a picture of my remaining guitars. I ended up gifting the guitars to my niece.

But I came at about 2:45 and the whole place was still dark. Just a thought - maybe have enough staff around at all times that some of your employees can take lunch while others are still on shift? Were they closed for summer vacation again and just didn't tell anyone? Sorry, but I'm all done here. You've wasted enough of my time. At one time Portland Music Co. was the best in the city. Those days are gone. It's better to buy music online nowadays anyway. The prices are often marked down by 20% or more if you get in on a holiday sale or something.

So they refused to make it right, I went to eurotubes and bought another 12ax7 and over a month later IT STILL WORKS! So I wouldn't recommend buying 12ax7 tubes from them, they buy the cheap low tested ones and then resale them. I looked into it myself from who they buy directly from.

Parking is set up pretty well but can get full fast, if it's a sold out show. We got there a tad on the early side so that we can get a drink inside at their small beverage stand with beer, wine and some snacks, nothing special. Theater seating was perfect in terms of view of stage. Here is where it gets weird, in the middle of the show it started to get super hot, many people started to fan themselves with show programs, including me, I almost had to get out. I was able to make it through to the end but while leaving I noticed how narrow the exit was from theater to lobby, got a little claustrophobic and thought, if there was an emergency, it would be very hard to safely exit, in my opinion. All & All, next time I will dress light and sit near an exit. Loved this venue and plays they put on yearly.
