Music stores Les volcans d'Auvergne

Rolling Rock is THE shop for all rock, blues, hard rock or metal lovers. Behind the discreet front hides a gold mine for collectors, made by Sylvain, a passionate person who has been running the shop since 1994, despite the context of the time, when the CD was gradually replacing the vinyl. New, second-hand, CD but above all vinyl, Sylvain advises you as a - very - great connoisseur. The second floor is mainly dedicated to vinyl. New arrivals and a few collectors regularly create the event, and leave quite quickly. The store specializes in 60's and 70's vinyl. Here you will find the atmosphere of rock and vinyl lovers!

Violin, cello, viola, bow, double bass...: all these instruments are available for sale (over 800 references) or rental, but it is also possible to have them overhauled, adjusted or repaired. Fabrice Planchat is a luthier who, with his team, adjusts and makes the instruments according to the results of the musician's hearing tests. An art and craft, this profession requires precision and confidence. Leaving one's instrument is never easy... Since 1994, Fabrice Planchat has been reassuring people by using traditional techniques and respecting the soul of the instrument entrusted to him. Musicians sometimes come from far and wide to seek out his talents. The main workshop is located in Clermont-Ferrand. An annex is located on the Place de la Bastille in Paris (by appointment only).

It is difficult to define Do Nothing. The brand created by the Clermont-Ferrand label Kütü Records is a showcase for local artists. Music, silkscreen printing, photography, sewing, graphics, literature... The only difficulty is to discover when to do nothing? An imprecision that adds to the charm of the place, which offers a beautiful definition of idleness! The gallery-boutique has joined forces with ¡Viva la Pepa ¡! (Hispanic-inspired cuisine) to develop a picnic concept in the city. Mixed place: shop, picnic, gallery where culinary and artistic activities coexist, it is also sometimes possible to participate in activities, to settle inside or on the pretty terrace.

Here, we bring your guitars back to life, and you have to see how they sometimes end up.... It is quite an art to know how to strip, straighten, varnish, adjust and pamper such fragile musical instruments. A meticulous luthier, Sonic Red also exhibits personal creations, made from A to Z... Hats off! Your last hope? This workshop, born from the meeting between an electronics technician and a luthier, run by two enthusiasts, also offers an electronic repair service for tube amplifiers or keyboards, among others. Sonic Red also offers used guitars of very good quality for sale.

Located near the rue du Port, this workshop maintains, restores, rents, buys and sells instruments and bows of the quartet (violin, viola, cello). Yoan Bouchet puts his experience and know-how, which is respectful of traditions, at your service to meet all your demands. Here, we only use traditional glues made of bones, nerves or skin. His varnish touch-ups are made with traditional alcohol varnishes. Bows are not forgotten, they are also maintained or repaired in the workshop by the professional. For the rental of instruments, the prices are specified on the website.

Passionate about his craft, Jérôme Casanova builds between three and four classical guitars, contemporary or copies of old models, each year in his workshop. The rest of his time, he restores plucked instruments. He works on old models of many prestigious makers, such as Lambert, Renault and Chatelain, Lacote, Grobert, Martin, Salomon, Roudhloff, Friederich, Selmer, Maccaferri, Fabricatore, Vinnaccia, Pages, Santos Hernandez, Manuel and Jose Ramirez, Fleta... His work was rewarded in 2004 with a Sema prize and then with the national prize of the Talents de l'Artisanat et du Commerce competition. He also restores American and European guitars from the 1950's to the 1970's stamped Gibson, Martin, Fender, Framus, Eko, Hofner, Jacobacci... and makes appraisals for auction houses (Drouot, Crédit municipal de Paris, Vichy auctions).

Here, drummers, percussionists, guitarists and bassists, beginners as well as experienced, will find their happiness as much in equipment as in quality of welcome. The shop displays more than 80 manufacturers: electric and acoustic guitars, amplifiers (Maybach, Tokai, Jackson, ESP, Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Peavy, Ampeg), drums... the great references are mixed with well selected cheaper instruments. Stands and showcases offer all the usual accessories, strings, effects pedals, chopsticks... Here, we take the time to discuss, try out the equipment and enjoy the service of the workshop, as competent for a simple adjustment as for a luthier's work. Another notable advantage is the ease of access by car.

Euterpe Musique has two stores: one in Clermont-Ferrand, the other in Vichy. The 250^m2 of the Clermont-Ferrand boutique makes it a playground for all local musicians. All the major brands of instruments and accessories are present in quantity (Fender, Gretsh, Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Gibson, Epiphone...). A dedicated home-studio and DJ area lets you fine-tune your equipment to suit your needs. The workshop welcomes classical guitars, basses and pianos for repair and tuning... It is also possible to rent instruments on a one-off or yearly basis at very affordable prices. Last but not least, the company has put in place a number of attractive offers, such as a 10% discount on accessories to accompany your new instrument, and puts customers in touch with teachers in its network.
