Change in management due to the poor working conditions and the staff being placed in uncomfortable situations due to the owner's (Pete's) behavior. The place is no longer what it was and has been the past 18+ years and I doubt it will ever be. I will frequent only to support my cello instructor and maintain my educational efforts with her.

The store has everything you need with knowledgeable staff. Chris is an awesome guitar instructor with a great sense of humor!

Better prices, better return policy, and better customer service from Amazon. Bought the floor model of a keyboard (with no discount) and they refused to issue a refund the next day even though our kids couldn't play it because the keys are too heavy. They only offered a $100 discount because it was the used floor model after 15 minutes of "discussion". All Sales Final. Period. So now our family stuck with a keyboard we can't use. Very unhappy and unsatisfied customers!

Pete's has always been a cool, locally owned music store. Pete hires friendly staff who are trained well. The store hasn't had a lot to choose from recently, guitar wise. That may be due to the surrounding circumstances, as the guitar area has always had plenty of axes and amps to check out.

Just needed guitar strings. Right as I walked through the door, two warm and polite ladies looked up attentively from their tasks, and one gently asked if she could help me find what I was looking for. I answered and she swiftly glided to the appropriate section, quickly but clearly pointed out the entire selection available, and courteously left me to ponder my options.

How pleasant that was! I saw the staff were attentive but I knew I could take my time and study my options. Being in the professional environment of a music store was a rare treat. I was glad for the chance to study the current products on the market, acquaint myself with the info on the packaging and refresh my knowledge of what to buy for various musical purposes. And, as she adeptly rang me up and had to wait through 3 cards as we tried to find the one with the money on it, she was imperturbable and ever so pleasant, as was her coworker, a very pretty lady, who looked on while still continuing her own work, as if ready to lend a hand if needed.

This store is run by some seriously healthy and good spirited, professional people. Kudos. Good Place. Thank You, Pete's Music Your a really nice place to go for musical supplies. I highly recommend.

Great service! Great staff! Very knowledgeable staff. They have lists of teachers for any instruments. Pete is very involved with the schools!

Great local musician helping his community and much much more. The owner has definitely put a investment into his town by helping as many people as he possibly can without obviously going under. He definitely deserve support and gratitude for his hard work and his time.

I brought in my RW Jameson guitar that I've been playing for 3 years and the bridge had started to lift up off the body, posing a huge hazard. They charged me $80 to reglue the bridge and put on new strings, only for me to receive my guitar with glue oozing out from under the bridge, a few spots of it all over the body, they BROKE my saddle, and ruined the finish around the bridge as well. I took it back in and got a refund from Pete. Wouldn't recommend going there with guitars

This was a very good experience for me. They helped me pick out the perfect guitar for me. Forget all these people complaining about the price, it's how much a guitar and other instruments SHOULD be. They customer service was really good, too. They so many things jammed into one little music shop, that it's pretty impressive.

Petes guarantee their amp cords but failed to add "according to technician". My name is Dan and using my wife's Yelp account, I'm a 50 year musician and currently am the Rhythm Guitar player for DeJa Vu in Yuba City. I have been a lifelong customer of Petes Music in Yuba City. A $10 cord has consistently and intermittently shorted out while playing at gigs.

To be sure it wasn't a problem with my equipment, I used it on different equipment. At the Yuba City Peach Festival this past weekend, I had 3 issues again. These all but brief lost connection and is frustrating and not acceptable. The Petes Music technician said there is nothing wrong with it. I told them I disagree. I told her that 3 musicians and several issues with this cord should be good enough evidence something is wrong. "And given my lifelong customer status, are you telling me you would rather imply I don't know what I'm talking about and lose a regular consumer"?

She told me "That's your choice". This response is disrespectful at best and basically, their refusal to accept that the cord obviously has an issue during performances, is a rhetorical statement that im a liar too. Does Pete know of a shortage on cords? Must be a real issue. I'm sorry business must be tight because that $10 cord was probably purchased for $2 at wholesale.

Pete is always very helpful and bends over backwards for his clients. Pete's is great for most everyday needs, but sometimes have to go to Sacramento for things we can't get at Pete's.

The selection is horrible. Pete is kind of a pervert and everything is way overpriced.
