Reviews of Portland Music Company - Milwaukie - Oak Grove - Guitar Store

Craig Giles

Richard at the Milwaukie location is amazing with guitars! Worked pure magic on my Ibanez S-Classic and I must say plays better than I could have hoped for. I absolutely recommend this location for anyone who needs real people who don’t BS and actually want to see you get the fairest deal. Thank you Richard! Thank you Portland Music Co.

Sarah Welch

Bought a ukulele for my daughter. Eric was the amazingly helpful friendly music man who helped us. Prices were very reasonable.

Mark Canady

I purchased my the newest addition to my guitar family last Friday. Marvin the marvelous guitar wunderkind, Provided 5 star knowledgeable and know how. This is the kind of service you could never receive shopping at Guitar Center with sales clerks who literally look down their snobby noses at you. Ignoring you while you shop their out of tune stock and deal with their lack of knowledge.

Ally Stewart

Stopped in to buy a banjo the other day. A salesman named Richard was very kind and knowledgeable! He helped me pick out a banjo that fit my needs and even taught me a few things on it before I took it home. I recommend this store to anyone looking for a new instrument, in need of a repair, or just a push in the right direction from well versed musicians & a trustworthy sales group.

Ronald O'Riley

I just enjoy going to this place to check out all the new instruments and I pick up my strings here for my guitar

SUMMARY: SKIP THE OTHER PLACES AND STOP HERE FIRST. That is all. *Mic drop* * They had exactly what we wanted and more * KNOWLEDGEABLE * HELPFUL * FRIENDLY * ORGANIZED * FAST DETAILS: Seeking sax for my son. He's never played one before and they are expensive to buy- $800 +/- for used. We decided to rent and try before investing $$$$ on a new venture that might not stick. Rental is $40/MO. Unfortunately, there is a two-month minimum and a deposit due on the spot=$100. This is the only thing that made our visit less than perfect. Still, $100 vs. $800 is a plus. CUSTOMER SERVICE: While we were there, my son found an electric guitar and an amp that he liked, and we bought both. Affordable, good-quality stuff, and THANKFULLY a fair return policy. Because, you know, teenagers. There were two people helping us: one was with me doing rental ppwk, credit app, etc, and the other guy was across the store with my son in the guitar-n-amp section. They were great, and we had a good time. We spent maybe 30 minutes there. COMPARISON TO OTHER RENTAL STORES: I am declaring myself to be an expert info resource for renting and buying noise-producing stuff for my three kids. I'm pleased to report that a few of the noisemakers evolved to produce surprisingly pleasant sound. Some people even went as far as calling it music! Recorders, violas, violins, piano and keyboards, harmonicas, trombones, acoustic & electric guitars, drums, ukuleles...I think that sums it up. it's usually a DREADED chore to go to (a different)music store, wait in a line with 50 other people in a cluttered, claustrophobic, and stifling-hot 20x20 room with 7-ft ceilings and no AC and all instruments were "in the back." I think it's literally someone's converted basement. Anyway, they usually have a single person behind the dusty plywood counter using an old-fashioned calculator, papers everywhere, copies of contracts and receipts and checks, etc. No POS or other tech in sight...ugh. Meanwhile, there is a second person, a runner, because, remember, ALL of the stuff is 'in the back. ' It took FOR-E-VER. If you have kids in band/orchestra in this area, you KNOW the place I'm talkin' 'bout 😏. Consider yourself saved! ~~AMK~~

Just bought a bass here. Super helpful experience. Keep small music businesses alive please! Photo of bass purchased. Not the store itself.

Tawnya Cantu

Complete novice to my instrument, any instrument, and these people are so encouraging, supportive, knowledgeable and helpful and take the time, never making me feel rushed while they help me learn as I go. So cool. Can't say enough about the people at this store.

Abe Covello

Pros: friendly and knowledgeable staff, great guitar selection. Cons: maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to walk through the door without accidentally buying something.

Matt Sinderson

Super nice local music store. Mostly guitar focused but with a dabbling in pro audio, synth, drums and band instruments. Good selection of guitars but I do find the truss rods to be in need of adjustment on nearly all guitars I have tried.

Mark Harper

Shop local. I recommend Portland Music and have done business at all their locations over the years. I recently spent over a grand on an amp I had been looking for when one of their locations referred me to the other. They took a couple trades in and gave me a discount to save me more money. Great shops. Knowledgeable and Helpful staff…

Dan Saunders

Great shop with a friendly staff and a really good selection.

Mason

Great prices on a quick restring and setup for an old guitar that needed some love. They were quick, courteous and had some great and very helpful suggestions for strings and cleaning methods.

John MacDougall

I have only spent a little time in this store but Wow is the service great. I am still new at playing guitar but they certainly took the time to help me and walk me through every step, unlike some of the big box stores. I will most certainly be making my way back in soon.

Gregory Rogers

This Music store is simply the BEST!!! I was not familiar with this part of the City, so, Richard, the VERY nice employee there, actually personally delivered my new Harmonica TO me, (I called/couldn't locate the store) WOW! WHO does that anymore?! Thank You Richard, you ROCK!!! My new music store of choice... 4 SURE !!!

Tracy Allen

All I can say about Portland Music at this location is good. The polite demeanor and excellent customer service is bar none. Even after I purchased an Eastman limited edition parlor guitar, I had a factory issue and the sales person did everything he could do to fix it. After truss rod adjustments and a new set of strings, unfortunately the string buzz was still there. I decided not to bother the good folks at the Milwaukie/Oak Grove location any longer and have emailed Eastman directly with the issue.

Corban Cloud

Helpful staff, solid selection of instruments. Not the best place to come looking for novelties, but that's ok. Fair prices on good gear, and friendly staff make this a great alternative to certain chain stores that think they're the center of the guitar universe.

Aloysius Murphy

I've been a musician for quite some time. Been to stores all around the globe, not just this country, but many countries. The customer service at these stores is phenomenal. Truly. They care about their customers and they treat them well. One employee in particular (Richard) has helped my band out so much, out of the kindness of his own heart, and checks in with us on a regular basis. That's customer service. Try and find that at a corporate conglomerate. Much love and mad respect to Portland Music Company. They are our music store of choice.

Anthony Nhem

Richard was a pleasure to work with -- I needed my strat adjusted and he not only made it feel like a dream but gave me advice willingly on neck adjustment and fretboard maintenance. The service was spot-on, fast, yet thorough. I will definitely be coming back to him for any of my guitar needs.

Becky DeWitt

We LOVE this place. Hubbie's favorite toy store. They try to find what fits you, not what they feel like selling. They really go the extra mile to learn what you need that suits your style. As you go in more and they get to know you, they know exactly what to recommend.

Joel Mack

Literally the best music shop in the area. The guys there remember me by name, they know what I'm interested in, and they take really good care of me. I havn't been to a guitar center in almost a year, not only because the service at just about any location is piss, but because their business model is a joke. Portland Music Company is my official hub for any need.

Vito Aiello

Great music store with helpful staff. If you are an acoustic guitar player, check out the store on NE Broadway. If electric, the one on Highway 99E in Milwaukie has a great selection! Either way, knowledgeable friendly staff at both stores! You cannot go wrong.

Jonathan Graham

Great store and friendly staff. Richard was very informative and personable. He helped string 2 guitars for us and was fast and efficent. Definetly will come back. It was done while we waited which was nice instead of finding time to drive back later.

Ryan Healy

New location is not easy to spot, but still my go to for sheet music and instrument accessories. Super knowledgeable staff. I always get good advice. I buy my cables and strings here.

Kristi Pierce

Bought a Yamaha keyboard. Staff made it super simple. He asked what my goals were, then sold me one with no more nor no less of my requested features. Price was less than two other businesses... worth it to drive a few more miles.

Emil Gerth

Portland Music Company has consistently had all the little odds and ends I have needed over the years, from keyboard stands to mic stand-to-camera stand adapters. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the inventory is quality stuff. The new location is nice and easy to get to, and well worth a visit.

Amit Eshbal

Excellent service, great prices and selection! I bought a Gretsch Streamliner, and when I told Richard (guitar sales rep) that I'm taking it back home to Israel and I don't have a proper case, he went out of his way to help. During that he also gave me great tips and advices about models I should consider and how I should take a tele on a jet ;). Really happy I went there!

Nick B

Went into the store a few days ago and tried out some telecasters. The employee was super helpful and didn’t pressure me into buying a guitar on the spot like some stores will try to do. Also, sorry I didn’t give back the pick you let me borrow.

Andrez B

This is a good music shop for all your basic needs and a decent, selection of all the regular gear--Fender, Ibanez, etc. The prices are reasonable and the service varies depending on who you talk to, but is never downright terrible or uncomfortable. Everybody there is knowledgeable about particular types of equipment and I have learned a thing or there a few times. I have had one guitar purchase there and it was a good deal. They also have good deals on their name brand guitar cables which they repair for free. They'll have most items and brand names you expect at guitar shops. I recommend this shop

Moonlight Coffeehouse

Great service from the staff! Really great selection of inventory and they took the time really chat with our kiddo as he tried to navigate through a selection of different instruments. It's great having this location in our neighborhood!

Terry Bequette

I went in for sheet music, a particular item. I was offered assistance immediately but declined as I thought I'd browse my way to what I wanted even though I didn't have a lot of time. Finally I did ask for help and was taken directly to the item. Very helpful, and very well stocked sheet music selection, at least for piano. I've read all the reviews and can't comment on others experience, but I am impressed that the owners respond and in at least a few instance offer an apology for someone's bad experience. I'm at 5 stars for now and plan to return for more browsing when I have the chance.

Nicole Paterson

Marvin was exceedingly helpful! Very knowledgeable and honest about the products demoed and was able to get me the perfect fit. Will seek him out for all my future purchases!

Kimberly Vitale

Portland also has great music stores in this is one of them. You could spend hours in here there's a lot to go through and it's a really nice place friendly people. now we are Portland Oregon and we like to keep it weird! This is a must-see I have to come check it out.

Blaine Hicks

I’m a professional musician with 49 years experience and this store is killer. Great personal that are professional and personable. They have always helped me to get exactly what I’m looking for and at a great price.

Nathan Watt

Richard always helps my guitar in tip top shape. Great store, great staff.

Jon Bradfield

I have been working with the entire staff for almost two months. I have purchased a Yamaha P-35 Digital Piano, piano stand, headset and piano bench. I have been purchasing music books, sheet music and will purchase more equipment and music in the future. A great place with good people!

MarkB Smith

Very friendly staff. 1st time back an many years. Books not their niche but could use a slightly bigger section, on music instruction, theory & composition. Also has a Beaverton location. Nice instrument & accessory selection.

BARBIE BIBLE THE HAPPY BAND

I think that the manager Andy is a straight-up great guy. All through the problems that I've had being homeless, I've come to know these guys, I put instruments on layaway and they worked with me even through a major illness. Today they gave me a free patch cord when I paid of my amp.

nathan vanecko

Found some hard to find guitars here. Great staff to help me with my guitar collection

Debbie Seward

Super helpful folks there. Took in an old guitar that's been kicking around the garage to be tuned up, so I can finally learn, and no shame given on the piece of poo that it was. Just encouraged the journey.

Rick Klaras

This place is great. They have a huge selection of sheet music, musical instruments, and accessories, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I could spend hours here, playing around with all the cool gear.

William Livesay

I Good; I bought my Grand Piano there, and it plays great. And I also buy my sheet music there. The Best Music Store in the N.W.. I also shop at the P.M.C. on Broadway; because I play the Sax, and they have Supplies for all woodwinds and brass instruments.

Isaac Twilleager

Great place! I've really been impressed with the Portland music company customer service wise. In the entirety of the branch, their associates have been extremely helpful.

Elijah.R

Marvin is a great guitar tech and really cool guy! In general when I go to any PMC store I feel like I'm a part of this music family. Great feeling.

Sean McDonald

Great staff. My daughter started violin and they tuned it, and explained how to care for it. They were extremely helpful and really care about their customers.

Dacoda Nelson

Great music store! They're always friendly and they've got just about everything. If they don't have it, they can either get it or tell you where you can find it. Been going here for years.

Laura Koehler

I had a great experience at this store. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. I was a first time shopper but I will definitely be back!

Adam c

Found everything I needed. Reasonable prices and the staff was friendly and helpful. Their lacking a little in there percussion section and finding the sticks and heads I use was a bit of a jumble but I did find everything I needed! I'll be back!

Daniel Callahan

I came in for some keyboard speakers.I picked up a great set of Roland 6" near field with sub at a great price. I also scored a Presonus computer interface. I might have done a little better online but you can not beat the local customer service and support this store provides. I am very satisfied with my experience here.

Jared Venable

A really cool place. The staff was really helpful, and prices are good. There's a lot of nice guitars in there too.

Michael Key

Cool music store with a knowledge staff. They have vintage instruments but that's mostly for show. Great selection of new instruments especially for a non-chain.

Rich Mitchell

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good selection of quality guitars. I'll be back.

Mike & Cayte Dorman

Jodi Farns

I was just going in for some music scores and this location barely has anything available. It would be great for the east side of town to have a place to browse and purchase sheet music.

Joe Kunz

Great shop for recording gear! Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. If you're remotely interested in a recording setup this is the place for everything

Traveler Gates

These guys are amazing. Spectacular service and great selection. They have everything a young musician could ever want or need.

Yolanda Dalton

Wow these guys are great if they don't have the sheet music in stock they find it and order it for you. Shout out to Wyatt and Paul those are my dues. :)

Jason Craig

I needed a thing and they had that thing. They also had accessories to that thing. If I ever need a thing again, will shop here.

Steve Nefstad

Very knowledgeable and no pressure to buy what you don't want. Really enjoy the people

SUPPAUL

Called for an obscure part to record audio with a splitter. They didn’t have it, but Marvin spent quality time researching it and was quite informative with offering alternative suggestions.

Steven Bulger
