All our tenants receive an additional 10% discount on all store bought accessories. Our facilities offer a full back line of rental gear from Hammond B3's, Marshall half stacks, to a ton of vintage Fender tweed amplifiers. Our facility is designed to make rehearsal a painless and inspiring process. We offer many leasing possibilities here at Metro Sound & Music. Our facility encompasses nearly half a city block and has nearly 40,000 square feet of space. We offer anything from a deluxe recording studio with full PA and band back line on an hourly basis, to month to month for touring groups, a 3 month lease for new and upstart bands, a 6 month lease for artists who need a place to write an album, and a yearly lease for acts who prefer a long term fixed base headquarters.

"It's just a hobby that got way out of control!" Mark Szafranski Owner and Founder, Est. 1991  We have since moved across the street to our present 40,000 square foot facility. We've come a long way from when this photograph was taken, but we have never forgotten our humble roots. Come see for yourself why Metro Sound is rated as "Richmond's Best Music Store" by Richmond Magazine! We simply have it all here for the true musician! We are putting our finishing touches on our our own art/performance gallery next door - Metro Space Gallery. This massive space will feature regional and local artists, a stage for showcasing acoustic musicians, and also help promote independent film makers. Our first exhibition featured artists from VCU's "Commonwealth Bricoluers" Master of Fine Arts program from May 4th - 14th, 2007.
