Sam Ash Music Stores

Support local music shops

Came in for the first time looking to buy some studio headphones. Talked to Danny who was extremely knowledgeable and gave me a ton of useful information to help me decide which set to pick up. This place was actually on my way home from my local Guitar Center that I had just left disappointed and I’m so glad I stopped in. Highly recommend this place. Staff are extremely nice and they truly know what they’re talking about.

June 2020 Miss the percussion specialists that use to work for the Lombard store. He really knew his stuff & he was always there. One time he called me with info about a cymbal sale. He knew what I liked. I came in & purchased a few cymbals. He would talk to you and learn what you were into & kept in touch. Like a true salesperson, not just a retail guy standing behind the counter. Now when I come in and ask for a specific item I have to wait for the manager, who also is a percussionist. And at times, he's in the middle of something & I have to wait. Overall the store does a good job. Suggestion: Need marching percussion items by late June when early marching season starts after July 4th.nnApril 2021 - Very busy store along with being short handed. I'm sure the pandemic has a lot to do with this. Again, had to wait however, I couldn't make up my mind on what Kit I wanted to purchase. Salesperson Jason, was very patient and knowledgeable. Yes, I did finally purchase a New Gretsch Club Kit. Happy with price and selection.

As usual, we went to Sam Ash in Lombard today and had a great experience. The salesman there are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Unlike some other music stores, they actually encourage you to try out instruments, and provide useful information without being overbearing. While we miss a few of the former associates, the store still has many good people with tons of experience. Going to Sam Ash is something our family always looks forward to!

Go inside and believe you will conquer and be the best at what you purchased. For me a blues harmonica, for my daughter, reeds for clarinet. Who can ask for anything more. Haw, haw, haw.
