What's on the wall
“I picked up my first Upright bass from them back in 2017 till this day that experience has been one I will never forget, the customer service was beautiful.”
“If you also need other services beyond what Gollihur offers such as repairs he will connect you to the beat local shops.”
“The picture is the installed tuners next to my 1951 Kay mandolin.”
From the reviews
The Realist LifeLine pickup is great. I especially appreciated Gollihur Music’s pictures detailing the size choices and the honest assessment of bridges that would and wouldn’t work well.
I picked up my first Upright bass from them back in 2017 till this day that experience has been one I will never forget, the customer service was beautiful. Fast forward they are still amazing as before! Please support your local music shop no need to look elsewhere.
Gollihur Music is a staple in our home. We are returning customers for well over 15 years. Their products are the best from bass stands, strings, post adjusters, quivers, bass bags, rosin…I can go on and on.
I recently ordered a set of upright bass strings as I had recently broke one and just wanted to replace the whole set. When my order came, they were for a 1/4 size cello.
Selling or trading gear at Gollihur Music
Gollihur Music comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Gollihur Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Gollihur Music. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
