After taking my 15 year old Taylor acoustic guitar to a different repair shop, I was reasonably…read moresatisfied, but not thrilled. They subsequently went out of business, and I needed new strings, so I found Tringas Music. I told my story to the sales clerk and he suggested I bring it in for a free diagnostic, as their luthier was highly trained and experienced and might be able to make an improvement, but if not, there would be no cost. He also mentioned that they had done a number of fixes on the "repairs" done by the shop I had used. A few months later I did bring my Taylor to Tringas. I talked with Greg Tringas, the owner, who examined it inside and out, and was clearly a bit saddened by what had been done to fix the cracks because of the aesthetics, but told me it was best to leave the repairs as they were. Basically, he felt that the cracks should have been invisible after the repair, which I could see would have been the case if they had been repaired more expertly. That was water under the bridge, but speaking of "bridge", he did feel he could make a major (to me) improvement in the action, explained everything they would do, and quoted me a price. He was very respectful and clear, showing he understood how valuable my instrument is to ME. A few days later they called, and I went to pick it up. I am THRILLED with the playability and sound. This guitar sounds better than when it was brand new and it is tremendously easier to play. I recommend these guys wholeheartedly. They truly know their craft and have top standards of service and art.

This place has the audacity to try and create a parity between US Navy Blue Angel Flight Team who serves our country with honor and integrity with their business that clearly has neither. I say this because, I took my Gretsch 5422TG Electric Guitar to this business for what I thought would only be couple of minor repairs. This included a possible replacement of the first fret on the neck and to fix the two strap buttons on the guitar. I did not expect it would cost me very much ... I was thinking maybe $100 to $150 dollars. What I got instead, was an attempt by this company to try and cheat me, a retired service member and senior citizen out of my hard earned money. The sales person behind the counter stated that they would need to level the entire guitar fret board and drill out the two strap buttons and replace them. This would cost me about $500.00, which is nearly half the total cost of a new guitar. In closing, I would advise anyone going to this place business to RUN AWAY as fast as possible. It is a "Rip Off" without honor or integrity!!! Shameful

I learned of this local music shop when I met the duo Top Hat & Jackie recently. They're talented…read moreand fun performers and Top Hat invited me to stop by his store here. Well the shop is very small with not much room inside, not a lot of instruments or inventory. It's a bit disheveled and honestly pretty funky. So if you're looking for a music store with selection and a shopping experience, this ain't it. However I bought some guitar strings and picks and scooted out as Top Hat was just starting a guitar lesson, which by the way took up half of the available floor space. He's a nice guy who's very friendly and I'll certainly support his locally owned and operated business any way possible but just calling it like it is. Bottom line: It's small but you can get some music supplies here from a good guy.
