Tobias Music is a family owned run business, which is located in Downers Grove, Illinois. I would highly encourage anyone who is looking to purchase a great Acoustic Guitar to shop here!!!
Wow! What an amazing and extremely charming music shop! Every employee was very helpful and notably kind! Drove here from Milwaukee to pick up a Flight Pathfinder Ocean Blue Electric Baritone Ukulele, could not find it anywhere else!
Wow I love a family Guitar shop. Tobias is awesome. I love buying from small businesses rather than big box stores but I am picky about what a guitar looks and sounds like.
Lessons at Tobias Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Tobias 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.
