Bellflower Music Center

They are always so nice even when there is a line of parents with students on the first week of school and they always have what we need.

I entered the shop with no intention of buying just to browse around to get an idea of what type of guitar I wanted. Not even a minute within the store I was approached by a young man by the name of Gabriel. The young man helped me out by bringing down one or two guitars. I decided to browse a little more and I noticed a guitar and he brought it down for me and it was perfect. I immediately bought it! He was very helpful and polite throughout my purchase. I’m definitely going back to make another purchase.

I used Bellflower Music Center for some repairs on a violin, and they were able to get everything done in less than a week. They also seem to have a lot of inventory for all kinds of instruments. Some of the repair prices seemed a little high, but otherwise a good experience.

Bellflower Music Center is the only place to go for your music needs. Ruth and Juan helped me with my son’s trombone case. They did not have it in stock but I needed it right away. Juan drove to Fullerton and had in the store the next day. I was so grateful. They are always very helpful and knowledgable of their products. I highly recommend Bellflower Music Center.

I’ve been going to Bellflower Music for over five years. I’ve rented and purchased instruments for my children. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They are affordable and offer a wide range of services. If you are looking for a music shop this is the one you should patronize.

Cool little place, the staff seemed nice. Inventory is piled EVERYWHERE which is a good thing in a music store. Not too much weird/​interesting/​vintage stuff, but it seemed like a perfectly serviceable music store.

Very helpful place in providing curriculum needed for band classes, cleaning supplies and everything you would need to maintain your instrument. If they don’t work on it they’ll tell you and if there is something wrong with the instrument will give you an estimate.
Only reason I can’t give it a 5 is I’d never be able to get in to the store without help (disabled).

I had a unique instrument rental request for my college age son. They were very gracious and able to come up with a good solution. I also learned that they have a repair technician on site every day they are open, which is a definate plus! I will be returning here for all further saxophone needs in the future!

Horrible service i went i to get valves for my trumpet, but they never let me know or called me i had to call them and they said they were gonna call in two weeks but to weeks passed and i never got called back.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. And they even lost one of the latches on my trumpet case and wanted to charge me for a new one.

I bought my 3^rd year flutist daughter her flute here almost a year ago, the shop came highly recommended by her band teacher, Mrs. Taylor. This past Saturday we went in to get some adjustments on it and they were very helpful and repaired it, and gave it a tune up! Thanks so much –their staff is knowledgable and always very helpful. We drive out of our way to come to this music store, despite having one nearby in our town just a few blocks away, since Bellflower Music’s service is stellar and friendly.

Bellflower Music is one of those rare treats that is slowing disappearing; a local neighborhood brick and mortar music store WITH A GOOD STOCK. I am a public school instrumental music teacher so I have a bit of knowledge about instruments of various kinds. The clerks with whom I have dealt always seem to know what you are asking about. The one time one did not, he responded that he was not well versed in bowed strings and got someone who was.
Upon entering the store, it appears to be a bit crowded with instruments. Well, it is, it is a music store! I have asked about bassoon reeds and been offered a choice of 4 different brands! Wow, this isn’t even a double reed specialty store.
Prices are competitive, you might find some things cheaper, but that is how the free enterprise system works.
I wish that more stores like this were around. I do not live or teach in the area, but am in Bellflower several times a year and try to stop in to this great store. I wish you all the great experiences I have had here.

This is a wonderful mom and pop type place, crammed full of musical instruments and related merchandise, and staffed with friendly knowledgeable people. The owner is a hands on lady who keeps her open office in one corner of the sales floor. She’s quick to chime in with a helpful suggestion or a bit of advice.
I was there to rent a cello, attracted by the rent-​to-​own policy. One hundred percent of the rental is applied to the purchase, if you should decide to keep the instrument. It’s been quite a few years since I played a cello, so I had lots of questions. The young man (Rob) who waited on me could not have been more patient or accommodating. He helped me select a beautiful cello that was in my price range, and offered a few payment options, for either rental or purchase.
The rental comes with a thirty day bumper to bumper warranty. When I broke a string the first week, Rob was happy to replace it, and even tuned up the instrument for me.
The drive is a bit long from the Valley, but the store is located right off the highway, so it is easy to find, and does provide parking.

I had a great experience with Bellflower Music, and to top things off, my drum order came in earlier than expected. I came here because they offered the lowest price for the order I was looking to place. They beat out Guitar Center and a few others places. Highly recommended.

I’ve been going there for years the staff is very friendly and well versed in all the instruments. If you are looking for a vintage guitar or saxophone this is the place for you. I’ve only had to deal with their repair department a hand full of times but based on their prices they are probably not getting paid what they’re worth, seem very well versed in their profession.

I’ve purchased purchased 5 guitars from Bellflower Music over the last 10 years and have had a great experience every time. I’ve also had the guitars set up to perfection. Moreover, they have such and eclectic mix of exotic instruments and such a fun and friendly sometimes it’s fun just to go down there.
It really is a great store.

Great place for parent of a student musician! Honest, reliable information, no pushy sales guys. Repairs are reasonably priced and prompt. Will definitely come back!

I didn’t have a good experience with Bellflower Music Center. I’d rented an instrument from another music store whom Bellflower Music Center eventually acquired. Suddenly I’m taking on additional charges with Bellflower Music Center that weren’t there with my original contract. Long story short — I’m getting charged for late fees that weren’t on my original contract — and to add insult to injury, they charged me these late fees on my card without my authorization.
If you’re looking to purchase or rent an instrument without any hidden fees, I highly recommend going elsewhere. Thanks for reading.

I’ve been here a few times and wasn’t really impressed. But that’s just me. This is more of a guitar store in my opinion and a good place to go if you want to have an instrument repaired. The guy that does it does good work. My dad has brought a few trumpets including a Mendez in here to be worked on.
I myself play violin. I found it extremely funny that I was told it was cheaper to buy a new bow that to have it re-​haired. I normally go to World of Strings to have it rehaired and pay about $ 70. I was told it was $ 35 here on one occassion, and $ 40-​$ 45 over the phone. At least the second time the guy said it’s cheaper to buy a new bow, unless you have an expensive bow. Um, yeah. This one was over $ 300. Anyways, went in recently for rosin because it was close, and they do not have a good selection. I was surprised to see how many were cracked, or messed up. They should weed those out.
All in all it’s not a good place for string instruments, but for the other stuff is okay.

My wife and I cleaned out our garage the other day and found some forgotten band and orchestra instruments we had stored in there, still in their cases, and in excellent condition. I dusted off the cases and loaded them in the car, figuring I would take them over to a local music store to see if I could get cash for them. I tried Gilmore’s in Long Beach first, they told me to wait until the school year starts; Morey’s in Lakewood was too good for me, stating that the branding was beneath them; but Bellflower saw the value right away and gave me a fair price for the lot of them.
These people are honest business people who understand the value of student-​quality instruments and the market. They were polite, friendly, and have a large inventory of strings, brass, percussion, and electronic instruments to choose from.
Next time I am looking to buy or sell, I’m going to try Bellflower Music Center first.

My husband has taken his sousaphone (brass wind instrument) several times for repairs and the price is always right & quality service. Juan has always been very helpful & very knowledgeable.
Today, my 8 yr old son began private piano lessons with an instructor named Chelsea at Bellflower Music. He was so happy after the lesson & excited to return. Prices are reasonable, $ 20 p/​30 lesson (wish it would be 45 min though).
I would recommend this music store to everyone!
