What's on the wall
“I’m a semi-professional flutist and have taken 3 instruments to Hill City for repairs.”
What players say again and again
“Bought a guitar from them for my son and it was a great instrument at a really reasonable price.”
From the reviews
I called and spoke to a really nice gentleman about purchasing a guitar for my son. I explained to him that my son is autistic and we don't have much time to shop in person because of sensory issues and asked him if he can possibly get the guitar ready for us to cut down on the time we would be in the store.
I’m a semi-professional flutist and have taken 3 instruments to Hill City for repairs. They have overhauled my precious student flute, a gift from my father as a child. They’ve also overhauled my concert piccolo and my antique Db piccolo. I’ve been happy with all of the work they’ve done.
Love this store! They have what I need when I need it. Bought a guitar from them for my son and it was a great instrument at a really reasonable price. Will continue to do business with them and their great staff for years to come!
very nice store, well stocked. I really enjoy talking to the staff. They have a great selection of classical guitars. Their Ortega student instruments sound as good as a higher end guitars, having deep base and great craftsmanship.
Selling or trading gear at Hill City Music & Repair Roanoke
Hill City Music & Repair Roanoke 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 Hill City Music & Repair Roanoke
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Hill City Music & Repair Roanoke. 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.
