From the reviews

Nice little music store, has lots of guitars, acoustic and electric, some banjos, mandolins, a few drums, a viola, an upright bass (which was fun to play). I didn't see a keyboard or piano. I didn't notice wind instruments, maybe they have a few. Some vinyl records.

★★★★☆ — Sara, Nov 2021

It's nice to have a place in town to stop and grab picks, strings or even a new instrument. My son also gets lessons through Beat City with Devin. The staff is always so nice and helpful. And they have a shop kitty named flow that makes my day everytime I get to pet her.

★★★★★ — Alyse, Jun 2022

Beat City sells a variety of guitars, basses, drums, ukes etc. Super variety of flutes. And other things musical. Plus they give great customer service. Definitely five stars.

★★★★★ — Della, Mar 2018

Absolutely the best music store staff I've ever met. Super helpful and a good selection for being in a small town.
