A great place for instrument lessons for all levels! Solid assortment of acoustic and electric guitars, accessories and doodads! Jeff is very knowledgeable and has access to dome great resources for repairs and restorations. If you haven’t stopped in... you’re missing out!

Great long time local business providing your musical needs school band to rock band and beyond!

For almost five decades, Consolidated Music under its owner Jeff has provided everything customers want in a serious local music shop: a solid variety of instruments and equipment for rent or purchase, with an exceptional guitar section; a knowledgeable staff of working musicians; private music and voice lessons; attentive familiarity with its clients; and so much more, always with an air of genuine professionalism.For six years, before our son headed off to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Consolidated Music was his second family. During his years at one of the finest music schools in the country, our son still traveled home to purchase his guitar needs from Jeff, instead of across the street from school at the Guitar Center on Massachusetts Avenue. Our son is still in touch with his longtime guitar teacher, although neither of them still lives in Barrington—one on the East Coast, one on the West Coast.Our son met another of that same teacher’s students at a local songwriters’ circle hosted by Consolidated. Years ago, that young girl moved to Nashville, where she pursues her singing career, yet she too remains in touch—they continue to collaborate on projects and produce music together.Over the years, we have recommended Consolidated Music to many of our friends whose sons exhibit a special interest in playing guitar or working with a band. Consolidated Music has always been much more than a local music shop—it serves as an artistic space, a gathering place for budding musicians.

Great and timely service! Jeff is the best!

I think Ive purchased five guitars from Jeff and Consolidated Music. The service is top-notch and Jeff couldnt be a nicer, more honest person. My only complaint is, the guitars sound so much better when someone else is playing it. I get a lot of requests when I play but I continue to play anyway.

Love these guys! Great service and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great place to take lessons or try a new instrument. My son has totally enjoyed this place for over 5 years.
