They are incredibly responsive and reasonably priced. I would recommend them to any music aficionado who is looking for some repairs or all the way up to a customer guitar like myself.

I am so happy I found Fast Action Music. Phil worked on three of my guitars: a strat-style, a…read moresemi-hollowbody electric, and a classical guitar. Each one came back better than I had hoped, and for a very reasonable price. The turnaround time, professionalism, and communication were all top notch. I will definitely go back to Fast Action next time I need an axe tuned up.

I caught wind of this great holiday gift giving idea and wanted to share with Chicago Yelpers…read morelooking for that extra something special this Christmas. Tricycle Sound, a recording studio located in the Andersonville Chicago recently posted a purchasable gift certificate for recording time on their website! You can buy discounted studio hours using paypal and print out the gift certificate to give! I bought it as a gift for all my brothers! Now I can finally push them into the studio and out of mom's basement! I think it's an awesome holiday/Christmas gift idea for anyone who has always been itching to record that special song, finally lay down those tracks, or work on that voice over demo. What's even more great! about the studio is: no instrumental talent, no problem! Really! Dave Johnson, the owner of the studio, can play any and all instruments and will accompany you while you croon! (Though he has tons of equipment in the studio if you do play and really awesome mics/amps (though I don't know much - my brother said they were sweet).) The hourly rate has been discounted for this gift certificate special and is totally affordable amongst the competition. Believe me, with four brothers to give gifts to, I have done my research. Anyway, just wanted to share and suggest this as a great holiday gift this season. KC

He has a very laid back, easygoing approach that is sure to make most clients feel at ease in his studio. I would totally work with him again. And he can play a wide variety of instruments if you need him to play with you. He also makes great coffee.

Untold stories is amazing!…read more The prices are outstanding, the owner Ian is amazing, and the price is right. Ian clearly has an extensive musical background. If you talk with him he can tell you how he got to where he is. I came in to record a song and was worried about not knowing what I was doing. Ian was patient with me and encouraging along the way. When I didn't like how I sounded, he scrapped it immediately instead of trying to keep it as it was to move forward. When I went to record doubles I messed up my runs (since as a singer they're pretty random) and even though I kept messing up he was patient with me and broke it down into smaller segments for me. This is more work for him, but he cares about your content sounding good. I plan to come back again to work with him.
