From the reviews
Best Music Store In All New Mexico and Beyond! By random chance, I passed by Nob Hill Music last Friday evening and decided to drop in. I was immediately drawn in by the inviting atmosphere and the treasure trove of music inside.
I'm sold. The fella who runs this place is exactly who you'r expect to run a vintage record shop. And that's a good thing. He's friendly and loves music. Their collection on the storefront seems rather small, but their website says they have a collection much bigger stored away, so I'm not worried about getting bored.
The staff here is extremely helpful and friendly. This place has a great selection of reasonably priced vinyl, CD'S, tapes and even record players all in great condition. Definitely a great shop for music lovers of all ages.
Good location with parking that is off the street. They have a selection of vinyl, CDs, and more. They have a decent selection of vintage audio gear too. Worth checking out while roaming around looking for music.
Selling or trading gear at Nob Hill Music
Nob Hill 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.
