In July of 1974, the average cost of a new house was less than $35k, a gallon of gas cost $.55 and a Fender Stratocaster could be had for $325. Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama" was #93 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and John Denver's Annie's Song #1. July of 1974 also marked the meager beginning of a small music store in Boulder, Colorado that would later become ProSound Music.
Originally named Solid Sound, this store was located on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. Opening with only a few used guitars and several sets of strings, Solid Sound would later evolve into Colorado's largest independently owned and operated musical instrument store.

I bought my son's guitar here a few weeks ago for his birthday, and I was having some buyer's remorse. When I took it in, Richard set aside what he was working on and patiently addressed all of my concerns. He took the time to make the adjustments while I was there, and explained to me why they were necessary. I was definitely impressed by the level of service I received.

Always a great experience here! I stop in every now and then to see what kind of used guitars they have in stock and I usually always end up buying one or trading an old one in! I just walked out with my 3rd guitar purchase here in a year and am completely satisfied as always. The guitar tech Richard is very helpful and will make sure your guitar is set up properly and tuned before you leave.
He will even throw a new set of strings on for you! Aside from the great guitar service, they do all kinds of musical instruments. Definitely a great place to go if you want to save some money too! Thanks guys!

Customer service was phenomenal. I was looking for an acoustic electric guitar and came in with a fairly unreasonable price expectation. Mark found a trade-in guitar that meets my needs, is acoustic-electric, and was well under my price point. He even sat there and chatted with me as he did some work on the guitar to make it sound better, as the guitar wasn't even on the floor yet.
He helped me test it, and we both commented positively on the quality of the guitar's sound. He even had a pocket of picks so that I could borrow one, and I was able to snag a capo to test the piece. Mark was awesome, the environment was peaceful, and I am so pleased with my purchase. ProSound is an awesome store that can meet any of your retail needs.

I go here before I go anywhere else in the springs! They have the most experience, have the best selection, and have the best advice. I've never had a bad experience at pro sound. They do get busy and backed up, but I only think it is because they have such a loyal customer base. They don't just hire anyone to be put on the floor, I consider these guys to be the best of the best!

I had a great shopping experience in this store about 23 years ago. That was the last one. It seems as if people just don't like working there, but it's what they're comfortable doing. To be honest, most music stores have that vibe. I loved working in them when I was younger, but also knew when it was time to move on

Aweful! Just awful. My husband used to work there, went to them when he passed away from Cancer to resell some of his gear he left us, the offered WAY less than market value. Don't sell your gear there. The quote only covered 10 pieces, didn't account for the rest. NOT ok. Felt scammed. And if that wasn't enough, the manager raised his voice to me when I said no to the offer.
The other guys there were incredibly helpful though in unloading and loading the two car fulls of equipment. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'll never ever go back! Not ever.
