Wildwood Music Co — Local services in Arcata

Do not come here for electric instrument repairs. When I brought my bass in, I was simply told that my issue was non-existent. After I came in and demonstrated my instrument's issue, the repairman instructed me to buy a specific input jack from the manufacturer's website. Then when I brought the new input jack to the repairman he told me that I bought the wrong kind of jack. He offered to buy the part off me. Afterward, I called the manufacture website and discovered that I had actually bought the right part, and the repairman was incorrect. I brought my bass in again, where he claimed to have fixed the issue. But this was only temporary - my instrument is experiencing the same issue it had several months ago. I am not sure if this repairman is inexperienced or if he just blew me off.

Several friends have told me similar stories about this character from New York. I am disappointed because I've heard great things about the other luthier who works through this...

A+ Experience for sure!

Father's Day is going to be amazing thanks to Nick at Wildwood Music Co. (And Sam, the dope Customer of the Month was super rad too!)

Nick took the time to help pick out some really perfect items for my musically gifted father who is an Legend in Upstate, NY. He doesn't need much from me but personal items like Wildwood pics and some quality guitar polish will really mean alot to him.

Special Shout Out to Nick for for making my 3rd trip to Arcata enjoyable and welcoming.

I noticed the shop is fully stocked with instruments and that's a big deal as the pandemic really wiped some places out with an increase in demand. I strongly encourage you guys to check this place out.

Side note- I'd really love to buy a Wildwood Music Co. T-shirts so I hope they will consider bringing in some cool store merch. Maybe se hats or stickers too!

Thanks Nick and that random guy Sam who was...

I went in to Wildwood to buy a new tenor ukulele and found the perfect one! My original one had been stolen earlier that week, and I was super bummed. The man working at the time, Mike I believe, was so incredibly kind and helpful. He was able to help me find a new one and give me informative details about each style & brand of ukulele. His professional, helpful, and sincerely caring demeanor really turned my week...
