Friendly staff. Fun little old school music shop. Sheet music selection kinda light. Look forward to going back, though. They offer music lessons, too.

I purchased an antique, vintage trumpet for my 78 year old father to inspire him to play again, he played from age 7 thru mid-20s. I found this store to repair and update the trumpet, my goal was to make it usable and as perfect as possible. After dropping it off, I called to pay for the service and was talked into buying a brand new case by the owner (woman). She seemed friendly and was happy to make a sale, I told her that my father would be driving a long distance, over an hour, to pick up the trumpet & case and that he had had recent surgery, and now a difficult time walking - I specifically asked her to be extra helpful and kind to him due to the nature of his journey to pick up his gift.What happened when he arrived was the exact opposite. He said the owner was abrupt, and not helpful, so much so she denied having the trumpet mouth piece when it was simply on a counter right in front of both of them, he had to show her where it was. He said it seemed she was trying to rush him and get him out of the store asap. She was preoccupied and didn’t give him the attention needed to do a simple transaction let alone with the extra courtesy I had asked of her. My father told me she was very abrupt and rude to him !I recommend you do your research before doing business with this owner, After this incident I read reviews on another well known review platform (I know a bit too late!) and saw a post left by a patron mentioning that this woman may be racist - I thought, isn’t that interesting, my father is Hispanic. Makes me wonder!

I sent two guitars in for some pretty moderate repairs (neck adjustment, tremolo tension, and pickup installation), and got them back today. Their luthier/ technician Justin, did an amazing job. These are two of the nicest playing guitars Ive had. Thanks Justin, and thanks everyone else, for all your great help!

Flatts & Sharpe Music Co. in Rogers Park is my favorite music store in Chicago! They have a great selection of instruments and a ton of sheet music. Cool little stage in the front room where they have in-store performances. I am always treated nice by the folks there and love stopping in whenever I can to see what new goodies they have out.

This is a fantastic music store! They have everything that you are looking for in musical instrument and musical accessories. They cater to the full musician spectrum from beginner to advanced. The staff is highly knowledgeable and goes beyond the call of duty to help the customer out. The repair work is some of the best in the Chicagoland area.

As an active musician I loved Flatts and Sharpes extensive amount of equipment and help that they provided. The owner, Chris Bell, is a wonderful woman who helped my band out by recommending musicians she personally knew who were looking for work to add to my group. She also let us use her facilities as a practice space when we couldnt use ours. The experience there is wonderful. I often will just walk in to talk about music with the employees or browse books of music. The place is my go-to for music and always will be.

Hello, My twin collegiate daughters have been talking about taking up the ukulele and guitar the past several months. During that time I have been gathering instrument information and tips. I ended up purchasing a Fender MA-1 starter guitar and a Kohala Concert Ukulele. I stopped in to Sharp & Flatts Music Shop on a few occasions and talked with Christian every time(on Sundays). He is just about the friendliest guy that I have ever met and he is a wealth of information. Each time I brought in a new set of questions he took the time to explain everything that I needed to know and then some. I brought in the Ukulele and he took a good look at it and tuned it up on the spot. He would not take anything for this service. I would recommend this shop to anyone playing guitar, ukulele, violin, or keyboards. I will return as a customer for knowledge, accessories, and maintenance of these instruments.

As a professional musician and teacher, I go to Flatts & Sharpe for most all of my musical needs. They have one of the largest selections of sheet music anywhere in the city. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them to both students and professionals.

Flatts & Sharpe is an awesome store for musical instruments (both purchase & rental) & they have the best repair services on the northside, with a great teaching staff as well. Such a great gem in the Rogers Park/Edgewater/Evanston area.

I took a trumpet in to have a stuck mouth piece removed. They were very nice and removed the mouth piece for no charge.
