What's on the wall
“Not to mention the 'Pedal Club' they offer.”
“Embarrassingly, I broke a string on my first day and the staff were extremely helpful in refitting my string and getting my setup done, but this was also done free of charge.”
“Huge amount of instruments (strings, woodwind, brass, percussion), sound systems, dance floor/party lights, etc.”
What players say again and again
“Phil is so helpful and friendly as well as having knowledgeable feedback when I need assistance with a purchase.”
“Very helpful staff for all your music rental needs”
“My son an I took our guitars there to be strung and they did so and cleaned an tuned them for a really reasonable price!”
From the reviews
Great little shop. They really cater to the rental market and their rates are reasonable. You can rent pretty much anything you need: lights, pa system, mics, cables, etc. They have some quality gear, but most seems to be marketed to entry level to intermediate needs.
My son an I took our guitars there to be strung and they did so and cleaned an tuned them for a really reasonable price! All the while being very personable and polite . The guys that work there are really knowledgeable and have great attitudes! Thank you for great service !
Very friendly and accommodating staff, nice selection in instruments. It's nice not having to go out of town to get great service.
Amazing place, been coming here for years. Rented DJ Equipment about 5-6 years ago, it eventually became a side job for me. Was able to buy the equipment and a speaker and all of the equipment is of good quality. I still rent things from them on occasion, and am considering buying more equipment for my DJ career.
Lessons at Doo Wop Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Doo Wop Shop. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
