Love these guys! They have a great selection of smaller instruments for kids and parties. They’re always patient, friendly and knowledgeable.

This is a small but well-stocked store with a focus on guitars. You won’t find any Gibsons, Fenders or PRS’ here. Instead, they offer models from companies such as Seagull, Cort, Jay Turser and Danelectro. My impression is that their inventory is aimed at those who want a good quality but *affordable* instrument. I also spotted some quaint, oil-can guitars that were very eye-catching. They are well-stocked with the usual plethora of guitar accessories such as effects pedals, strings, picks, straps, etc, etc, etc. The staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and a luthier is on duty to perform repairs, mods, etc on your guitar. Definitely worth checking out.

Great service & tech skills at this local fave. I’ve had my tube amp repaired here, got good advice buying a ukulele for my nephew(«it looks like auntie’s guitar!»), and recently brought my electric guitar in for a repair, only to have the owner diagnose and fix it in about 2 minutes. Gratis! Bonerattle is a welcome respite from patronizing knowitalls I’ve encountered at the big shops. Best Guitar store in town!

I’ve walked in a few times. It is a small store, however, it is well stocked and organized. I favor this than some of the more institutionalized sterile looking stores downtown(you know who you are). Customer service has always been awesome, prices are decent and the people working there are either musicians or have awesome general people skills and understand the art of music.

Great staff and when I had to get some stripped screws out of my Peavey Bass pickups the price for the job was very reasonable. If I had more money, I’d clear out their percussion instruments. As it is I collect what I can when I drop in most sunday afternoons post brunch.

There’s nothing like walking into an independent instrument store with chain stores taking over. The selection isn’t as big as Long and Mcquade or Tom Lee, but it is what it is. If you’re into ukuleles, they’ve got a few of those too. If anyone has known this store long enough, could you tell me if it used to be on Squamish? I remembered seeing it there years ago and I was wondering if maybe they moved to Vancouver at some time. The selection of books and print music is also somewhat limited, but that’s expected from a shop like this. As already mentioned, the staff don’t mind if you try any of the instruments at all. Unlike at some chain stores where«they’re hanging so high up for a reason!» If you’re having any problems with an instrument, talk to Graham, the technician. He’s very experienced and knowledgeable.

Love this place. I am not a musician, but I like to go in and pretend every once in awhile. I find all of the wonderful ukuleles amazing. Got some pretty rad baby music makers last time I was, got two of them and they were each under $ 5. What baby doesn’t love to make music! Great customer service. Even if you don’t play — go in, you’ll start

Great buy on a brand new Violin here… Ya their not made in europe but more than half the price, just fine and great learning on… Bonerattle prices are very competitive considering they are a small shop but theres lots of Hipster’s wannabe Rockstars and perhaps are going to be Rockstars on the Drive

Bonerattle is the sort of independent music store that a musician really wants to live near. They have the usual assortment of picks, sticks, and amps new and used, but you won’t find a single fender or gibson on the wall. Instead, unique guitars like the Danelectro, one of my favorites, and dobro’s hang like décor. What else… xylophones, autoharps, electronic cellos, trumpets, harmonicas, tiny pocket amps, individual guitar strings, timpani drums… a rotating assortment of instruments for that prog folk band trying to find their sound. And staff who know how to play them. And don’t mind if you do. They also do cheap, effective, and fast repairs of all sorts, like when they fished my input jack out of my semi hollowbody guitar. I don’t remember what it came to, but I remember not wanting to cry over the bill. Seriously, this store is one of the only reasons I’m jealous of the residents on Commercial.

Being able to provide smaller quantities of higher quality goods and services has put Bonerattle Music above and beyond the L&Q’s of the world. Do not be fooled by the size of Bonerattle, the selection of guitars, drums and other rad instruments in all price points is a thing to behold. Ideas brim in my head about my want of learning to play the drums and I queried the gentleman working the store about lessons and guitars and all sorts of things that I could. For the record, guitar lessons here are from professionally world renowned musicians Stephen Nikleva and Jimmy Roy, who have both worked with international artists and each has a very unique and amazing guitar style. Lessons start at $ 20.00 per half an hour and are from Monday to Friday between 5:00pm and 8:00pm. Bonerattle is a gem of a music store!
