On 11/3/2024 ben h (Buckaroo) had this to say:
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! Owner personally reached back out so fast when I contacted the shop before I made the trip. Best experience buying any of the instruments I own, by far! Tobias Music is worth the drive from anywhere and I hope to be back soon! My only regret is that I wish I had more time to spend there before I had to get back on the road! 🎸🚗 PS. The Flight Pathfinder is hands down the best sounding electric ukulele I have ever heard, the tone is unmatched and it sounds incredible through a Fender Mustang GTX! Thanks Tobias Music!!! 💜

Went in yesterday for the first time, and ended up purchasing an Eastman E2200S/v. I am mostly an electric player, but this shop had the best selection of acoustic guitars I have ever seen. They have some extremely cool high end pieces, and also a great selection of more affordable but high-quality-to-dollar guitars. The Tobias family were all very kind and a great source for information. I would highly recommend checking out this shop if you are in the market for an acoustic, or an Eastman (electric/acoustic/mandolin).

Tobias offers the best customer service. This is the most important thing to remember when you're thinking about buying your next instrument. In my case, it was about a case -- switching a top-quality gig bag case for the hard case that was specified for my guitar. It took just a handful of conversations and a little bit of time, but in the end everything worked out great. Why? It's because Tobias cares about their customers and will do what it takes. Thanks Paul! Testimonial written by Bill Jarocki on this site.

A real pleasure to buy a guitar from this store. Paul went out of his way to help me and provide his insight into some of the guitar I was shopping. I bought the best sounding guitar int he shop as so the sign said-LOL- A beautiful Martin 00018 setup perfectly to sound like a Martin but play like a Taylor then rechecked for a final inspection by Ken before it left the store. Included in my purchase were humidifier packs and a note from Mom (Margaret) on how to properly care for my guitar and thanking my for my purchase. this is the shop to go to for your acoustic needs.

This is the best Taylor and guitar repair shop in Illinois. I have been bringing my guitar here for setup since 2018, and it's the only place I trust with my beloved instrument. Pops does an excellent job.
