Located in downtown Bozeman Montana for 30 plus years, we’re a full line, independent music instrument store, and then some…
We specialize in custom built high end acoustic and electric guitars, boutique pedals and amplifiers, professional sound reinforcement gear, and all the percussion equipment you can imagine.
We are the home of the Acoustic Letter, featuring Tone Talk, interviews, comparisons, and reviews of all things acoustic.
We are "The Music Store", a reality webisode series documenting the well-intentioned, and sometimes outlandish, staff during their day-to-day operations, exposing the humorous happenings in the Music Villa.
We are a hub for musicians across the northwest via the musician community websites we created to help fellow musicians network and promote their bands.
And lastly, we run Montana's top music school, Music Villa's School of Music.
Shipping Policy
Your instrument will be shipped using the highest level of industry-standard packing materials, in every attempt to make sure it arrives in ready-to-play condition. Some exceptions to this may be for tube amps that require removal of tubes prior to shipment, as well as some guitars that require removal of tuners, tremolo arms, etc. for safe transit. We will notify you prior to shipping your instrument if additional steps need to be taken in the packing process.
Most orders ship the same day. We strive to ship all orders out same-day, however we guarantee it will ship within 3 business day (after full payment has cleared, pending above below zero temperatures).
