My old bass amp died, and I've been wanting to upgrade for a while. this place if jam=packed with…read moreinstruments and musical gear, new and used. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and gave me time to try a few amps, Plus the price on what i bought was the same as the big national chain. And the new amp sounds so much better than the old--bigger speaker, more watts.

I had an absolutely great experience purchasing a vintage guitar from Bob. Besides having very fair…read moreprices, he worked with me in all phases - price, condition, and adding a hard case. It's hard to purchase a guitar online, but Bob took the time to share everthing I needed to know about the guitar. When the guitar arrived, it was even better than I hoped.

We "shoot straight", LOVE what we do, and we LOVE and what we have to offer. We WANT you to be happy! Thanks for all.

Peter Tsiorba is a phenomenon when it comes to build a classical and flamenco guitar…read more I would not trust anyone else to build for me a guitar but Peter Tsiorba. Peter built for me 3 flamenco guitars in 2005 in 2010 and in 2021 from top woods like German spruce grade AAA+ top for all the 3 guitars. 2 guitars with Brazilian rosewood back & sides and 1 guitar with a Pau Ferro wood back and sides. And these guitars sounds great and easy to play. I am playing the guitar close to 53 years now and was playing many guitars in my life. I can tell very fast the quality of a flamenco guitar. I would buy only a handmade Peter Tsiorba guitar not a factory made guitar! I have compared Peter`s Tsiorba guitars that I own with world famous guitar luthiers who cost much more than Peter Tsiorba guitars and man ,, I must say I am so happy I choose Peter Tsiorba. Thank you Peter!

Tim seems to know synthesizers and especially the older vintage synths…read more His repair prices seem fair to me. It took months, however I was not in a hurry. Especially in an area where there are few knowledgeable synth guys. There used to be some knowledgeable guys even in Eugene, but they are long gone, just like disposable consumer audio equipment. I had a prior horrible experience at another Portland repair shop years ago. My attempts at just talking to someone knowledgeable about an Oberheim OB012 was futile. The problem is you have to go through the girl who answers the phone, and she isn't going to give you any information other than a time frame to open it up. That synth sat for months until I finally got a call saying they could not fix it. What did they do? Nothing other than what I had already attempted to do which was firmware updating. I sent the Oberheim to Viscount USA, the makers of the Oberheim OB-12, and it was fixed within 3 weeks. Imagine that! Back to Tim...yeah I would send him anything he says he is open to looking at.
