I've used American Music to rent speakers and a sound system before. They're very knowledgeable about what type of system to rent and the prices are pretty decent.

I recently helped out at a non-profit fund raiser by running their AV setup. Shortly before the presentation was about to being the projector shut off all by itself. It powered back on after a moment, but I was concerned enough to call AV Pro, the folks they rented from, to see if this was a known issue. The employee who answered my call spent more than 15 minutes on the phone with me walking me though troubleshooting ideas. He felt confident that it was probably a glitch in the power (old building) but gave me a cell phone number for someone who was standing by to rush a replacement projector out to our event.
This all seems like it should be standard behavior for a rental service, but we all know it isn't. I was pleasantly surprised by the immediate attention as well as the sincerity of their concern for our event to run smoothly.
I wasn't involved in the rental process, so I can't speak to their equipment selection or prices. But based on their support I'd highly recommend checking them out if you need to rent projectors or sound systems.

I play the violin and my sound post once fell off and I had no idea what to do. A friend recommended going to Bischofberger Violins and I found the location after some searching. The owner quickly fixed the sound post and handed my violin back to me, all within 10 minutes. He didn't even charge for the service. A wonderful place to go to for quick, professional service on your stringed instrument. They also rent and sell instruments and strings and various accessories for stringed instruments.

I once called Mike to request a tuning and he was currently at the Meydenbaur center tuning a grand while a hip-hop group was soundchecking in the background. I couldn't hear anything he was saying...but he was in the middle of TUNING a piano BY EAR.
Anyway, this guy is quite good, and really nice. He has a friend who drives him around and helps out but he mostly does all the tuning, taking the piano apart, fixing parts, etc. by himself.
When we had him tune an old piano he came back for free to fix a string and re-tuned it at no charge!

I am a reformed girl-- I have seen the light that is smaller, independent video rental stores. The best in my opinion is Scarecrow Video. Now, I admit, Blockbuster video has been a long-standing family practice. But now that my movie tastes have grown I have to look elsewhere for movies. The Blockbuster selection is shameful! The "New Release" wall is littered with releases that date back more than a year! Want an older movie on DVD? I doubt they have updated their stock to include that. And the foreign film selection? RETARDED. I tried to get a copy of La Dolce Vita and was told it was lost by a customer and when inquiring as to when the next one would be ordered for the store I was given a "I doubt we will at all". Umm... thanks, but no thanks. I'm tired of this chainstore and am now given wholly to Scarecrow.

this place has everything you wish to find. They have Vinyl and they have tapes to CDs. You can just imagine an artist or song and just arrive here with just that little inkling in your head and mention it to the staff and they'll have it. They have two floors and if you are a music junkie you will love just flying through these cds trying to find oldies and newies just the same!

For a great selection, and a purely funky experience, go to Bud's Jazz Records in Pioneer Square. You'll hear the music from the sidewalk. Just walk down the stairs off of S Jackson and enter the groove of Bud's. This store carries only the real thing - bebop, swing, etc. If you're looking for what they play on that smooth jazz station, forget it!

Capitol Music in downtown is a wonderful music store. THey carry a good selection of sheet music, from classical to pop to band and choir. There are rooms available to play through pieces before purchase, and if they don't have what you're looking for, the staff will help you to find it in a catalog or online and order it for you, with the option of shipping it to your address. They sell and rent instruments as well as supplies. I have been extremely happy with Capitol Music.

CD Trader is a small store, but I have bought many fantastic records here. They seem to be a little more discriminating in what they offer for sale, so you don't have to wade through junk to find something worthwhile.
But, the best feature here is a computer database that lets you search the store's inventory. The computer tells you if the title is in stock, the price, and where to find it in the store. Fantastic!, and a great time saver. Why don't all used CDs shops offer this service?

This is a great place to get new and used CDs for really cheap. If you go directly in the back of the store there is a wall of CDs for .99. It takes awhile to find ones that are worth purchasing but its worth it. You can listen to any CD before buying it which helps.
