TOBIAS MUSIC REVIEWS
Tobias Music has hundreds of reviews. We invite you to read our reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, Locality, and on our Reviews page.
One of the best guitar shops in the Chicagoland area, and definitely my favorite! I started taking lessons from Tobias Music for the first time back when I was 13 yrs old and am still going to them now, 28 yrs later! You will not find a better selection of acoustic guitars accompanied with a staff that really knows their stuff. There is no need to worry about the “hard sell” with these guys. They truly want you to walk out with the guitar that suits you best, not that puts the most money in their pockets. Local and family owned! Can’t beat that!
– Brendan G.
Best guitar shop around! Professional, knowledgeable and friendly proprietors (Ken & Paul); comfortable playing ambiance; excellent maintenance and repairs for guitars: Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz… A Guitar Player’s Heaven!
– Glen B.
You can’t beat Tobias Music. These guys are experienced players who know their stock well and take pride in their craft. They never try to sell you, either–they’re just good, helpful, knowledgeable guys
– Andrew S.
