Ryan Phipps

Super friendly staff and very reasonable pricing/turnover time. Morey’s did this amazing bow repair for me and I can’t get over how good it feels (better even!!) to be playing on my beautiful Morgan Andersen bow again. Thank you to the amazing people at Morey’s :)

Pranav Garg

We have been going to them for my daughter's violas for the last 3 years, and the experience has been very pleasant and seamless. Even though they are not the closest to where we live, we keep coming back to them. We have always been helped by in-store folks who feel like musicians first and salespeople second (if you know what I mean!). They know their instruments, are super patient, and have guided us well. Their trade in program is great, and also keeps us coming back!

Ann Webb

Great little local music store if you need strings They always have a good set of guitar strings for me.

Forrest Baird

I somehow missed this gem of a music stored when I lived in Long Beach 2 years ago and stumbled upon it on accident while visiting town! Found a great bass bow that didn't break the bank. The atmosphere here is top notch that matches the vibe you would expect with a strings (and more) store. Excellent customer service. Cannot wait to visit again!

Derrick Ellis

Great little local music store if you need strings They always have a good set of guitar strings for me.

Philip

They're great. Patient. Nice selection of violin cases. And if there's a room open, you can. Take time to try out a bunch of different bows.

Eleneri Pen'neth

Morey's Music is always a pleasure. We had to replace an A string on a violin, and the repair was completed quickly and on the house (we rent the instrument from them). They have extremely knowledgeable staff who are always quick with a smile and service. Their rental instruments are good quality, with options for upgrades if you'd like them. I've rented from Morey's for over 6 years, and been happy with everything they've ever done. Besides, they had two viola di gambas in the display case today. How cool is that? You cannot go wrong with Morey's Music for all your instrument rental needs.

Jada Kang

I was able to rent a great YAS475 that plays beautifully. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. I highly recommend shopping here for all your music needs!

Jose D. Garcia

They're very friendly they explain things to you And the prices are very comfortable

InnoMuzic

Love this place, it's quiet, cozy place for great prices and amazing instruments equipment etcetera. The staff is equally quality, they were extremely helpful and quick to make your experience here a very pleasant one. I am in love with the location of this store too, tucked away like my very own hidden gem. I purchased a microphone cord for recording vocals because I am currently working on my first album and they directed me to the right stuff, we chit chatted for a second or two otherwise and I was out.. they knew my equipment back home and were very happy to help

Mario Martinez

Went in expecting to leave the guitar to get restring. David replaced a tuner and stinged the guitar in like 10 minutes. Great shop, great help. Definitely recommend this place

Kino

Went shopping for a violin here. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Very nice people. They had a very nice selection. Not just in violins but in all other musical products too. I didn't end up taking a violin home with me but I'd be sure to recommend checking this place out to others.

Bethany McWhirter

We rented violins here for 7 years, from 1/10 size to 3/4 size until my daughter was ready to purchase a full size. Our teacher was always pleased with the quality and their customer service was superb on every single interaction through all those years.

Garrett Sulzman

I have loved going to Morey's Music since I was a child. The instruments are beautiful, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and it feels like I'm stepping into a conservatory when I walk through theor door. This is not a place to "try out every guitar in the shop". If you have a serious love for music, this is the place you want to be.

Jose Carrasco

Great service! Great prices! Great instruments! High quality customer service! Our son is getting his 4/4 violin! we started with the 2/4 with Moreys music the instrument trade is a great help! Thanks guys! Our family music store we got from them my trumpet, my daughter's violin and a cello and my son violin! We play in church's orchestra, and we are so grateful!Thanks for your help and service

Carlos Manalo

Real nice people here. Wanted to check things out without any commitments to buy anything. Just simply inquiring, and yet, the people there genuinely wanted to help and expand my knowledge. Kudos to all! May your tribe increase!

Gustavo Buccioni

Morey’s is the best music store I have experienced in my life. I’m not a profesional musician but they made me feel like I was one. I called them because I needed a bow and we set up an appointment for the next day. Once there, the seller had a room with an instrument and different kinds of bows. I was there like an hour trying them without a problem. The bow that I bought is a very good quality a the price was fantastic. Now I’m just waiting for Christmas because I’ll buy another one. Thank you Morey’s for your excellent service. Best🙏🏽

Shawn J Burke

Wow. If you need anything violn, cello, viola, or bass, this is the place. Also, saw guitars and bass guitars but was overwhelmed by the non guitar collection. Rented a violin for my eight year old daughter. Easy to do, friendly staff, took about 45 minutes. In business since 1927, you can feel confident your in experienced hands.

Larry Kleiman

Great customer service and personal attention. Needed a guitar string replaced and they installed and demonstrated. Also bought a full set that they matched to current set. I noticed a large inventory of band and orchestra instruments, and they do repairs. The sign read "established in 1924" so they've been around a while.

David Hurst

Let us take our time choosing the instrument, had good advice and had an excellent array of bows and violas for our daughter. It's just a great place for musical instruments.

Wanda Mobley

Morey's is the Ultimate music store. They have been around all my life and my family has always patronized this store. The customer service is top notch. They greet their customers and make them feel welcomed. No overbearing sales pitching, but available for any questions you may have while browsing. Knowledgeable Helpful Courteous Patient..... This is why they are still around and why I'm a fan of Morey's!

Taylor Thompson

I don't know much about this place because I just visited it once while I was in town for a meeting. What I saw was very impressive. While fairly small in size, it contains an extensive selection of (mostly) orchestral instruments. There are separate showrooms for each group of instruments and it appears that they encourage serious customers to audition the pieces in a calm setting. The back of the store contains a large repair shop that is glassed in so that you can observe the technicians. Normally, I do not include this sort of thing in my reviews, but I must make an exception by mentioning that one of the sales personnel is a tall, absolutely gorgeous young woman with long light brown hair and sparkling eyes. She is simply too beautiful to avoid taking note. By the way, they did not have the accessory I was looking for, but they made a good recommendation to another store. If you are looking for a personal shopping experience, this family-owned shop is highly recommended.

Lance Moreno

The shop is beyond impressive, I was blown away with just how gorgeous and affordable everything there was. 10/10 Recommend for all STRING needs. I unfortunately don't play any strings but I did enjoy the atmosphere.

Shea Propes

Terrific place, attentive, helpful staff, that makes you feel very welcome. I doubt I would have received the same one on one service at guitar center. Family owned for over 30 years. They also make beautiful instruments in the store. Love Morey's music!!

J W

Fantastic selection of instruments (mainly string instruments), parts and accessories. Wonderful service and knowledgeable, helpful and friendly salespeople. I've been coming here for years and recommend them to anyone, especially schools, students, and families looking for quality orchestral strings.

Lori Chamberlain

This music store has been around in Long Beach since the 1920s and is still family owned! They strive to meet all of your instrumental needs. If they do not have what you want they will certainly try and get it for you. They can also repair your instruments and have some fun items around as well like masks to wear during this covid time that have musical themes! it's a great shop it's also a place where you can practice playing some of the instruments before you purchase. Highly recommend a visit to Morey's music!

Omar Rodriguez

I found this Gem by luck, I am so greatful that I did. They made me feel welcomed the instant I walked in." And I was in my mechanics uniform, yet they treated me as if I where just another regular at Morey's. Thanks so much guys, I mentioned it to the store clerk/musician/owner.../?? The very kind gentleman that helped me with all my silly questions, that I haven't seen a mom and pop authentic music shop since I was a kid. And I was ecstatic to see that it is a warm inviting atmosphere and only quality products with an actual expert telling you about the product.

Ashley Janay Marshall

Really nice and clean. They have everything. My daughter was very excited, she was able to get her flute. A very quick and easy process.

William Newell

I love it! They gave me a lot of time to pick out my violin and, unlike some other violin stores, they didn't put any pressure on me to buy a more expensive one that was out of my range. All around a good place to go.

Leslie Deveraux

Went there to get a flip book and lyre for my son's Advanced Middle School Marching band and they were so helpful from my phone call to upon arrival! Definitely will be going back there for our trumpet needs! Thank you 😊 …

Steve Perry

In their profile, Google says that parking “may be difficult at the location,” however there is ample parking at the back of the store.

Kitty Love

I came into this shop for the first time today. I was meeting a woman who would potentially be selling me a cello. The associates at this store... Go above and freaking beyond. I barely know how to describe it. The gentleman took the cello, tightened a string, tuned it (which looked like a struggle because this cello is pretty subpar - I truly commend him), and looked over it for any flaws that would impair the sound. He gave me his review of the instrument. All of this - he didn't charge me a dime. If I ever need another instrument (I'll hopefully be buying a better quality cello in September) I will be coming here. This place is twenty minutes from my house by freeway. I will happily pass every single one of the stores I'm familiar with seeing to give this store my business in the future. Sir, I did not catch your name. But your service was impeccable. You were efficient, helpful, and honest. The store is lucky to have you. If your associates are half as amazing as you were today (everyone in that store was friendly. Courteous nods, smiles, everything.) then this store has gotten a customer for life. I didn't have much of a look at their stock, but everything was neatly organized. If I'd needed to find something, I have no doubt it would have been short work to locate.

Went in today to get strings for my new ukulele, as reviews I'd read online said that that particular model sounded better with different strings. The man who helped me at Morey's told me that my uke already sounded great and the strings it came with were top-notch. Then he helped me pick out two picks that I love. I really appreciate his honesty because anyone else might have just tried to sell me some strings. Will definitely return!

Deborah Matos

Morey's Luthiers have helped our son Gabriel to move from a low quality violin, to one that could help him all through middle school. They explained all we needed to know about cost-benefit as parents, in a easy to understand way. Moreover, Gabriel was able to tour the shop in the back of the store and learn about the fascinating work they do there. Each time we go there to fix the instrument or purchase parts, it feels like the old time stores, a calm place where you can trust the expertize of professionals dedicated to the art of music.

Michelle Ye

The frog on my son's cello bow was stuck with the hair still tightened after an outdoor performance. I was very worried. My son's cello teacher referred us to Morey's. When I phoned Monday morning, I was told that the shop's repair was backed up all the way till December due to a large repair job at the time. I asked to speak to Mr. Morey, who took me in the same day. He even glued a corner of the cello back on. I was so relieved! That Saturday, I got a call from them. Greg had fixed the bow. It was just in time for my son to attend a master class. He was very happy. They do a great job at Morey's, charge a fair price and everyone is courteous and professional. We're going back in December for more detailed repairs on the cello. They also have a good collection of cellos to choose from. That's a big factor for us to have chosen Morey's.

Elijah Brown

Morey's is a great place. They are very helpful, respectful, friendly, knowledgeable and though the shop is small, its a great neighborhood music store that has served the community and generations of musicians. Absolutely love this place.

Jim Thornburg

I've been a Morey's customer since my first cello when I turned 8. The customer service, extensive knowledge, and product selection are the best you'll find in the greater LA area. Lucky for me, I've always lived within a few minutes so heading over there was never an issue. As a music student at CSULB shopping at Morey's saved me tons of times, especially when it came to buying strings thanks to their great student discount program. Boy I sure do miss those days. Regardless, this is still the only music shop I'll ever be a patron of. In addition to sales they have amazing technicians who can fix instruments quickly and at a fair price. Thank you for all of your years of service to the musicians of Long Beach, Lakewood and beyond!

Blair Stanford

Love this place. Very knowledgeable staff on even the most minor of things. Great attentive service and products are priced well. Our family and my brother's family have been coming here for decades.

Hanza Cello

The best place for OC residents to deal with string instruments. I probably helped 20+ students purchase their cellos here over the years and all of them turned out really well.. my students are still happily playing their instruments! Hooray! It's so easy to get ripped off on string instruments because people dont know the general price range for what kind of sound you are looking for... and it is totally heartbreaking when students come to me with cello shaped objects... =( but if rented/purchased thru Morey's, there is nothing to worry about. =]

Cynthia Snyder

A full service music store. Excellent string instrument care. My sister and I have taken our violins for a "tune up". My finger board was smoothed out from having years of inconsistencies caused from ordinary use. Gerrit can change 4 strings in no time at all. Passionate Knowledge and care of the Instruments is clear.

Rod Wood

Daughter's violin was making a funny noise. I called and made an appointment for that same day. We were greeted politely as soon as we entered the store. They took the violin immediately and diagnosed and repaired the problem within 15 minutes. While waiting we browsed the store's impressive selection of instruments. We will be back!

Jeremiah Hawkins

I've read all the previous reviews and believed they were lacking cunstructive feedback. Both times I arrived at Moreys Music Store I was very pleased with the attitudes of all the employees that work there. Very humble and not judgmental. The store was clean and organized as expected in most entrepreneur sheet music stores you'll find. There customer service keeps me coming back, unfortunately, the focus on pianos, piano parts, piano repair, and keyboard repair is a almost non existent and I assume most likely do to the limited space, capacity, and customer traffic. Granted, they did refer me to, with business cards, where I can find the help I needed. Also they have plenty of trainers, for all levels of skill, for almost all modern instruments I've learned from one of the employees. This will be the only place I get all of my sheet music from in Lakewood/Long Beach area.

Laurie HK

This place has been in Long Beach forever, and generations of kids have gotten their musical instruments here (including me). Stopped in with a friend who was buying some sheet music and left with a precious pink ukelele with a heart shaped cutout for my niece.

kenneth carter

I have always found what I want at Morey's. I'm a musician and for me that's important. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful!

Chelsea Whitaker

Just got back from my first trip to Morey's Music and I'm very impressed. I just moved to downtown Los Angeles after growing up and going to college in the midwest, so I was surprised to not find many music stores selling sheet music/scores in Southern California while searching online. As a professional collaborative pianist, I have to buy a wide variety of music (voice, instrumental, opera, etc.) and they had a great selection. I bought over $300 of scores and wished I could get even more from their fantastic selection. Plus, they had a section of 50% off music that had some good stuff as well. The service was friendly and helpful, but not in-your-face, which I appreciated. They greeted me and made sure I could find what I was looking for, and then let me browse (without lurking over my shoulder.) I saw them helping people who were unsure about what they needed and they were very knowledgeable about repertoire and printed music. After going to the JW Pepper warehouse in Norwalk without much success, it was nice to see a store that actually caters to students, amateurs, AND professionals. I saw they had a huge inventory of string instruments, music stands, accessories, cases, etc. as well.

niki westcoast

Excellent customer service, great and extremely knowledgeable staff. Clean shop with loads of instruments in every price range. This is my new go to shop in California for new instruments or repairs.

Steve Littrell

Awesome family business for all your music needs!

Amy Parker

Very good service. One lady did string a violin wrong once, which is what dropped the star, but other than that no issues. They quickly fixed that issue, by the way, to no additional cost.

epan

Very helpful and professional! Helped me pick out my first instrument in less than 10 minutes. Great price, friendly staff, and great quality instruments.

Caleb Weissberg

Morey's has been fantastically helpful assisting me with finding the perfect double bass (I play other instruments), sheet music, and many other things. Brandon has been an angel at helping me work through a number of choices. If 5 stars is the max, Morey's deserves 10 stars. In my 60 years, the experience with Morey's has been one of the most helpful, intelligent, and pleasant experiences finding a new type of instrument to study.Ten Stars!!! **********

diane

I've taken my violin and viola here since I was an elementary school student. My parents bought my first violin when the store was In Downtown Long Beach. Since then, I have had bought countless strings, shoulder rests and so on here. I've had bows rehaired It's a family business and the only place I take my instruments.

brian g

Great service. Restringed my daughter's guitar for free. $2.50 for the string. Go here for musical instrument needs.

Kristi Hipp

I absolutely love Morey's Music. Everything they do is at a fair price, and the people that work there are very knowledgeable and honest. They won't tell you that you need something done to an instrument when you don't, or vice versa. They also recommend people to teach lessons, and sell and rent almost any instrument you can think of. There's a reason Morey's has been around for more than 80 years now.

David Ickler

Morey's is a family tradition in our house. I go for bow rehairs. They are very friendly and just an excellent experience all around.

Kevin Techmeier (Mein Seoul)

Very nice selection of wind, string, and percussion. All of your music student's needs are there.

brooks vogt

The best local / family owned music center. Not a guitar center for sure, but a better choice for budding musicians.

Richard Mott

I got my first cello from Moreys in 1961 when the store was located downtown Long Beach. Moreys music continues to be my main supplier for all my cello upgrades, bows, strings, etc.
