Musical instruments & gear from beginner to professional

Metro Gnome Music has lots of music gear for every type of musician – whether you’re a beginner playing in your school’s band or a professional gigging musician, or even an audio engineer looking for rack gear! We try to buy and trade gear that runs the gamut from entry-level to ultra-high-end so everyone can find something they like. We may not have everything (we only have so much space!) but give us a call, there’s a good chance we have what you need!

We have school instrument rentals for students in band or orchestra programs. We provide affordable, high-quality pre-owned musical instruments which we refurbish and maintain ourselves. Minor adjustments and repairs are promptly provided for no additional charge to our rental customers. We are trained and experienced in the repair of musical instruments and can offer competitive rates and turnaround for repairs.

Our store offers a wide range of parts and accessories. Mouthpieces, sticks, reeds, cases – you name it, we have it!

We also carry bicycles – including folding bikes by Brompton, Tern, & Montague, as well as used bicycles that we have received in trade. Check out our other page Cycle To-Go for more info.
