The train up to recitals and concerts is a great program that helps build up students' confidence.

There are few people in this world that have his level of talent in all three of these areas. He can figure out just about any song, and he has been amazing in helping me develop as a musician/singer. The guy is a badass and he can hear stuff and make suggestions that really make a huge difference in creating a song, or making a cover song more interesting, beautiful and sonically spot on. Jim is a great friend and mentor, and I can't imagine a better teacher for me, as we are on the same page when it comes to working on what sounds good in my originals and covers that I play. He is a musician, but he listens like the audience.

What's so core about not bathing? Greg at Orbiter Guitars is awesome. Most musicians and guitar techs are jerks. Yeah, I said it. If you're a musician, than, statistically speaking, you're probably a jerk too. Greg's a genuinely nice guy who understands that music is about having a good time. He loves what he does and it really shows. He makes his own boutique pedals, for crying out loud. I can't recommend him enough. I had my LP Studio and Tele set for a really great price. The LP was SINGING after. It was as if someone bought me a brand new guitar (that was made in the 60s). I'm in love. I love you, my wine red little friend. Yes, I do... Yes, I do...

My rack was old and falling apart and it was so disorganized and my cymbals weren't that professional and my drum heads needed to be changed. Darren helped me with all of it.

Those guys are the best. I highly highly recommend them. They were extremely helpful and very attentive. Very, very kind and nice and professional.

They always encourage the kids and updates parents with their performances. When my kids started their classes, they have zero experience and interest in musical instruments.

To our astonishment, they now spend their break time with their instruments other than with their digital devices. Overall, the staff and facility are excellent.

We rented here over the 24/25 school year for my daughter to pick up the Viola. The shop owner (at…read morethe time) was swamped with multiple people in the shop since it was the beginning of the year and he had some help. They were fairly helpful coming from someone who knows nothing about orchestral instruments. They had a wide range of instruments late after the local school started which was a bit odd but a sigh of relief for us since it enabled my daughter to play something. They had all the sizes needed in both Viola and Violin so that was good. The shop keeper's daughter helped size my daughter for the right sized viola and we were on our way! Or so we thought. His daughter said we're good but he insisted we get a chin rest for the viola. Repeating the fact that I know nothing about these, I listened and bought a $25 rest. Why? because I thought she needed it. Fast forward 8 months, my daughter NEVER used it. Apparently the rest is for kids who have trouble fitting it. So if you get one that's too big/small it is an intermediary. Problem is, she was sized for the right one! Again, thinking about the end of year, we are there to return and the shop keeper asks if we're going to play next year (in 3months). I tell him yes and he keeps drilling the statement, "It doesn't make sense for you to return. It's a waste of money because of your rental credit" The words rental credit in most peoples' minds would flag a "Oh i don't want to miss out on that money". I asked him to clarify what it was and what it was applied to and he kept insisting I'd be losing out on it. When he realized I wasn't budging on that front, he said that I would have to pay for another fitting fee too when we returned. I asked him how much it was and he didn't really give specifics. I told him we were going to not even touch it for 3 months because of travel and other activities and that I didnt' want to pay the 3 months rental. He kept insisting it's not worth it. He was talking a lot and honestly was confusing me so I said, "Hold on, let's do the math here." His tone changed completely. He realized what was going on and finally started talking straight. The fitting fee was $28... or you could say ONE month. The rental credit? It's in your contract (which you should review) and is a credit of 50% of your rental fees towards purchasing the viola you rented... Let's think about this. You've got a kid who's NOT fitted for a full size. Why on earth would I buy a 3/4 size viola? I told him we're never going to buy and he did the sensible thing of saying "You never know" and he was right. I don't, but I know i'm not buying a 3/4 viola. In the end, I thanked him for trying to "save me money" but told him I'm not interested. I'm not trying to say he was trying to swindle us but he was sure trying to get us to not return it when I made it clear, we weren't going to keep returning. On top of all this, he doesn't have a computer system for the rentals. That's fine in many aspects, just weird. I'd rent from here again since they were helpful and it's reasonably priced, but the return process was like trying to cancel your xfinity subscription
