This place was a staple during my teen band years. Sheet music, reeds, guitar strings and I had no…read moreidea they had only been open about a year at the time. It was as cozy then as now. Looking like it had been there for 200 years. I've popped in over the years when I'm in town for the usual. Last week it was to talk about freshening up my autoharp. As I walked in a clocked a hammered dulcimer in the corner. I've wanted one for years! After my autoharp questions were answered I asked about the hammered dulcimer. It was on consignment and had been for nearly a year. I asked how much it was and it could be in my price range. I was excited. They called the seller and we made a deal. So excited. It's a hammered dulcimer made in Nevada City. So special. No matter what you need in the music world this store has you covered even 50 years later. Everyone so friendly so helpful. Helped me carry my new instrument out to my car and gave me great ideas for my autoharp.

Lets discuss the update from 4 to 5 stars this week. There is no better guitar shop, owner (Bill)…read moreor tech (Brian) in Nevada County than Soundcheck. They can build you a guitar from scratch with great new or vintage parts, and get you anything you want for less than most including a good selection on the floor, they are very well priced, and just awesome people. This is a great place to just hang out for an hour (they are always busy, but... its a nice hang spot). I play gigs here and there with a friends band up in Grass Valley and Nevada City, so i need a good local shop where i can get strings, repairs, etc. I was introduced to soundcheck music as they have a good selection of accessories and a fair selection of nice guitars. Well... I fell in love with a couple they had in stock and purchased both over the past year. I'm a bass player so getting me to buy a guitar (yet two) is out there, but the pricing and selection was so good, i couldn't say no. Bill also took care of my Warwick bass to get it ready for a huge event Saturday night and also found "in stock" some very hard to find parts for my Fender Strat (pic in the gallery). I'd highly recommend them to anyone who needs parts or repairs in the Sierra Foothills. Its worth the drive from as far as Sacramento or Reno. I drive from SF for service. Check, check, 1-2-3?
