Kyle's brainchild of a meeting place, a watering hole for the musicians that come to teach, to learn, to shop, to get into the scene. A place where support is offered to school and church group, other, any learning group that wants latest tech, equipment, and professional musicians to help figure it out, as in my case. Learning to play is a hope, not necessarily a goal yet as I know my limitations, realistically. Support, encouraging people, guitar, piano and wind instruments that make noises, the vibe is here. Kasey is the next generation band leader as Kyle and Julie explore new roads.
A special place, special people and they can get anything that makes noises, or in my case disjointed whatever that was.but lessons are coming. He tells me, highly recommend.hmm.

I stopped by Barker's Music today and was delighted with my experience. The gentleman who helped me was extremely welcoming and very helpful. I needed a couple pegs replaced on my acoustic guitar, and some help with the strings. He made me feel right at home. I suffer from a lot of social anxiety, and to be honest I hate going out in public. But Barker's Music felt like such a calm, safe place.
They have an incredible selection of pianos, guitars and equipment, and contrary to some reviews I have read, it's very spacious - a stroller friendly place! I probably will never go to Guitar Center again knowing this gem exists right in the heart of Modesto. Thanks Barker's Music!

I called to ask if they had an xlr cable and the lady who answered laughed and asked if I was kidding. Its a pretty standard microphone cable.strange that i would be laughed at. I encourage others to stray away from this store and allow another shop with some decent customer service and knowledge take its place.

I needed a sound system last minute for an event, and Barker's Music made it happen! I was greeted by a wonderful associate named Kasey who helped me get everything I needed and explained how to set up/operate the equipment. It all worked flawlessly! Definitely a small business to support here in Modesto, go to these guys before anyone else! Thanks Barker's!

Recently I came into Barker's Music looking for a harmonica. Now that's not really a popular instrument around these parts (to my knowledge, anyway), but I was happy to see that the employees working there seemed to be knowledgeable and friendly. They found me exactly the kind of blues harp I wanted AND even knocked down the price for me since I'm a beginner. And to top it all off, they even threw in an instructional booklet for me to get started with.
