    Jody has sold to me / for me many instruments over the past 10+ years. He is always welcoming and honest, and takes pride in his work. I have witnessed him repair and set up everything from accordions to high end guitars. He is a Yamaha retailer for guitars and keyboards as well as Ibanez electrics. Need strings, he has them. Need repair, he does it. Need a new toy? If it isn’t in stock, he will get it for you.

    I have been using.
    Jansen music since I was in high school. Jodie is a very dedicated music lover and it'd a local business. I'm glad it's in aptos now. Please support this small local business. He knows his stuff and if he doesn't have what you need, he'll probably get it. I mean, you technically could shop at Amazon. But China makes crap. Local small businesses are the backbone of the economy.

    I bought a used ukulele and needed strings and accessories. The gentleman knew exactly what I needed and the prices were good. I got the feeling they are customer oriented, not sales oriented. Parking is decent. The music store is at the opposite end of the shopping center from Safeway. I like this store, you will too!
