This is an amazing place for any committed musician. Even new musicians will find this place amazing. They build instruments, they repair instruments, and give great advice. This long established store has been part of the Homewood / Birmingham landscape for decades.

Bob, Jason, Matthew are all incredibly kind humans. Music has been such a big part of my life, my first day of life I was in a music store. They helped me revive that today. Thanks so much guys!!!

Take your instruments to Jason Burns at Homewood Music. I brought in a 25 year old Martin D-15 that needed some love and he made it play like it was fresh off the factory line. Incredible craftsmanship.

I’ve been to the store twice asking about repairs to my violin. Bob was very kind and offered honest advice. Recently I went back and met with his luthier (a year later). He, also, was professional and gave excellent advice. I highly recommend this shop. In the future, all my bow rehairs will be done by them. Great people!

Bought a violin here at a great price, sounds great and it’s beautifully set up. Bob is the man, very knowledgeable and personable. Best music shop in town.

Warm friendly music store. Picked up a nice little ukulele there. Bob’s setup on it made a world of difference in playability. Definitely better than ordering from online stores. Stop by for a visit. You won’t regret it.

Jason and crew were incredibly helpful and kind to me when I needed to repair my Amp head and my guitar cabinet's input jacks.If you're in a touring a band or a musician in town, I highly recommend you visit the shop!

I was referred to Jason from a different music store in town, which should really tell you everything you need to know. He is truly "the man", an acoustic instrument whisperer. Everyone is extremely friendly and professional and the work is other-worldly. If you have a beloved acoustic instrument or definitely if you are a pro and pro-level work this is the place.

I hope Google reviews doesn't have a word limit ?After taking one of my guitars to ANOTHER music store for a relatively small problem with the nut, their repair made my guitar unplayable. I wasn't about to take it back to the same place to be fixed, so it sat unloved in its case for almost 2 years.While this guitar would not be considered a high-end guitar, it's a very nice Takamine, with considerable sentimental value.I took it to Homewood Music. After I explained what happened to the guitar, I was asked if I took it a certain music store, and man, it was the one I had gone to first.I left it in the care of Jason Burns to repair the atrocities. This involved making a new nut, repairing the damage binding at and headstock at the nut, new strings, and overall setup.While working on it, Jason noticed some other problems with the bridge saddle that he went ahead and corrected with new hand carved bone saddle. He didn't charge for the additional work because it wasn't evident and discussed prior. The craftsman in him just wasn't going to let that guitar go unless it was right.I can't say enough good things about Jason Burns and Homewood Music. The workshop is the majority of the space and yes there are very nice inventory of stringed instruments for sale and trade.I would say it's a luthier shop that also sells stringed instruments, rather than a music store that sells instruments and happens to do repairs.They treated me, a hack amateur, and my guitar as if I were a professional musician with top end equipment.Go to Homewood Music!

I recently took a mandolin to get a new set up. I could tell immediately that this was the right place to go. When I got it back it sounded and played better than it has in years. I would definitely take my instruments here for set up or repairs.. five stars!!!I
