Friendly staff, competitive pricing on the bass I bought. Plus, it was very nice to try the instrument before I bought. They had a selection of colors and had the red one I wanted. Very satisfied.

The listened to my questions exactly, and they recommended some excellent strings, with a clear and full sound. I just got a new classical guitar for free and it sounds incredible. Thanks!

When it come to the music instruments, such as guitars, banjos, and others this is the place to be. With a very small amount of money, you can rent to own your favorite instrument. As you learn how to play, you'll have the option to either return it, or buy it. Amazing customer care, and support.

Recently bought a new Martin from Chad at Woodsongs. Great customer service and he made the deal worth it. I also put my old guitar up for consignment at the shop (they dont do trades) and it sold within a few days. Great shop for all of your acoustic needs. Also check out Woodsongs Lutherie across the street. They are not affiliated but a very reputable place to get work done.

I'm a local piano, voice, guitar and ukulele teacher. I've taught and accompanied on piano for several Boulder area schools as well as run my own music studio in Boulder and I have been going to Woodsongs for over 15 years to purchase method books, metronomes, instruments and materials for myself and students. Having an independently owned and operated local music store of this caliber is a gift! Having a wonderful music store with knowledgeable staff is beyond a gift. Woodsongs has it all: ultra fine instruments, great learning method books, down to Earth, talented, kind and knowledgeable staff (many whom I've known for years!) highly skilled luthiers, and instrument rentals.

I have been a Woodsongs customer for years. The owners and staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional, and their selection of instruments, books and accessories is top notch. We are currently renting a violin, the instrument is way better than I expected from a rental, and the whole process was super easy. They even dropped the fiddle off at my house. I would highly recommend Woodsongs for all of your instrument needs.

My first experiences with Woodsongs was years ago when I rented violin and sax for my children. Now I go for guitars, lessons, gear, and accessories for myself. Woodsongs has it all. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and laid back. I love this store and am grateful we have this local gem.

A great shop in every respect. As nice as they are knowledgeable. The highly skilled work that Matt has done on my Collings guitars is absolutely impeccable. It is really nice to be able to trust that your prized instruments are in such good hands. My unreserved highest recommendation.

For the past few month, since the virus, finding an instrument in any stores become unavailable and in some states still is. Here, as soon as the shop was able to open up, my call was returned, the brand new instrument is in my hand and they made this process so easy that I might buy the instrument when my lease ends. PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS, please? :

Love this place. They not only helped me figure out what kind of banjo I have (it was a gift from a family member), they also played a couple of bluegrass songs for me (I'm a beginner). Will definitely keep going here.

Great little music store. Nice people that sell new and used instruments as well and accessories. I got a Chris Ti Coom woodland flute. I will stop in again the next time I am passing through.

This is a great local music store. I've purchased two guitars here and sold three. The sales people are super friendly, helpful, not pushy and they carry a wide range of instruments for beginners to high end Taylors, Santa Cruz and Martin. I know the manager to be a quality guy with integrity, as are the sales staff. I couldn't recommend them more. I'd like to see more electronic gear like Robb's music had, but they can't do everything. We lost Robb's music to the Internet. Don't let that happen to HB Woodsongs.

I'm a professional guitarist and music teacher. Woodsongs is by far my favorite music store. Woodsongs has everything a working musician or music hobbyist could need. On top of that, Woodsongs is full of heart and has amazing customer service. This place is the real deal!
