Tim's Music, 2812 Marconi Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821, US

Watermelon is a large retail store stocked with everything from sheet music to guitar strings to cellos. It also rents a wide variety of instruments and offers music instruction in its 19 studios on the second floor. Repairs are also done here for customers' convenience. The one-stop music shop offers a "Stolen Gear List" that features reportedly stolen musical items, as well, so customers can keep an eye out and maybe help someone relocate their gear. The store is well organized and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable people. Since the employees don't work on commission, the store has a no-pressure, low-key atmosphere that is comfortable for browers.
