What's on the wall
“I had 30 or more collectible guitars and amps that I needed to sell.”
“They advised me to do this on consignment because I would get much more for my items, and that has proven to be true!”
“They also had a lot of kids sizes and such, too, and it sounds like they specialize in getting new people - kids and adults alike, set up!”
“I am currently leasing a violin and taking weekly lessons from this place, and the experience has been great every time I go there!”
“I have been to many music stores in the east bay area and I can confidently tell you that Rockin' Robbie's has one of the biggest collection of ukulele.”

From the reviews
Friendly, knowledgable owner and staff. We have rented instruments here and my son is taking drum lessons. When he first started band in fifth grade, Robin took a lot of time letting him try out the band instruments and encouraging him. He's been playing trumpet for three years now.
Fabulous place with lots of options and very attentive and helpful. Our teen was interested in learning the electric guitar and this was the perfect place to go to - they let him try out a bunch of options, and they also pointed out when they had an option on consignment, or opportunities to upgrade and such.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and prices are reasonable. I have been to many music stores in the east bay area and I can confidently tell you that Rockin' Robbie's has one of the biggest collection of ukulele. What I am impressed with were not just the quantity of their selection, but especially the quality!
Staff was friendly and helpful. Greeted me as soon as I entered the door and asked if I needed help. On the small side, but a decent inventory of both new and used guitars. Plenty of accessories and other band equipment. Street parking, but not difficult to find a spot.
Selling or trading gear at Rockin' Robbie's Music- Concord
Rockin' Robbie's Music- Concord 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 Rockin' Robbie's Music- Concord
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Rockin' Robbie's Music- Concord. 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.
