About Us

Common Beat Music is a brick and mortar music shop located at 4916 Baltimore Ave in West Philadelphia, between 49th and 50th Streets, next to Cedar Park Cafe, and conveniently half a block from the 34 Trolley stop. There is also plenty of free parking nearby, both on Baltimore Ave. and half a block above us on Catherine Street.


We specialize in a large selection of vinyl records and musician supplies such as strings, cables, drum sticks and more, coupled with a full instrument and electronics repair service. We buy used records and audio & musician gear 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) or by appointment. You can also drop items off for appraisal on weekends, but note we won’t be able to look at them until the business week.
