We had Patrick Salyer for our DJ and he was absolutely terrible. Patrick got drunk at our wedding,…read morewhich he later denied despite vomiting at our reception multiple times. Patrick was polite when we met for our consultations. We gave him the order for our events, and we told him we had a video to show for the wedding. We sent him a very good playlist that we worked very hard on. Instead of coming to our wedding interested in making it a beautiful night to remember, Patrick made the reception one he would probably rather forget, and judging by how drunk he was I would say he already has. Patrick self-served himself alcohol. He later said he did not drink & was drugged, & didn't remember anything, an act we found to be rather cowardly. Patrick acted like a child when we asked him to move a speaker so we could show a video on the projector screen behind him. He actually said, "No". I asked him half a dozen times to turn the volume down. He would turn it to down, then immediately back up. My mother-in-law asked him just as many if not more times to turn it down. The father-in-law asked him multiple times to turn it down. Even the person in charge of the venue told him, and he blew her off even after she told him he was ruining our wedding. Our play list was barely even played. Patrick was more into the type of music he wanted to play. Finally I just started telling him to play them individually, because he was playing music that I told him I did not want him to play (rap songs). Patrick did manage to play the Cupid shuffle twice, despite that not even being on our list. Patrick completely screwed up the order of our events. My wife was almost in tears because he did not start with our first dance, but the bouquet toss song, when we went over this in our consultation, and he wrote it down: The first dance was to be before all of that. I told him after he started playing the music that the first dance was supposed to be at that point, and he just told me, "No." And I said, we want to do the dance now, and he said no again. Patrick repeatedly called my wife the wrong name, despite having been told otherwise. Patrick pretty much ruined every song he played with his pathetic attempt at mash-ups. People were leaving the reception early just to get out of the reception hall because it was so loud. At the end of the reception we only had about 40-50 people left, and Patrick wasn't playing anything we had asked him to play. I said, "Will you just play the Journey 'Don't Stop Believing Song' and then stop. That will be our last song." While Patrick was so drunk, he couldn't really even speak to me at this point. He just gave thumbs ups or thumbs downs, and rolled his head around. After that, he continued playing more music that was not on our music list. He started playing "Gin and Juice" the folk version. I told him, I do NOT want this to be the last song. You need to play a Frank Sinatra song then stop playing. He did that, then he started playing yet another song that was not on our list. This went on until 12:30, and by that time we were all just not paying any attention to him. It was embarrassing that he wouldn't listen to me. At the end, the reception hall crew told me we had to get a guest because he was vomiting. To no one's surprise it was Patrick, hovering over a trash can with vomit all over his face. We left him there. The next day they called and said he vomited numerous times and that they finally had to kick him out at 2:30 a.m. after they found him in the bathroom, with his head in the toilet and he was passed out. He then drove home, so he has gone from only ruining our reception to now endangering the lives of others and himself. The company did give our money back, and once again I believe Patrick is one bad apple that ruined the whole bunch. BUT DO NOT HIRE HIM. While the company maintained this was his first offense, I work in the field and have had other DJs (post my wedding) tell me that he does this often, and even if he doesn't get wasted is known for his multiple smoke break

I listen to it fairly frequently, mainly whilst driving in the car. I have an appreciation for the genre. I find it beautiful. Louisville Philharmonia gives you the full experience, that you need to experience if you've never been to see a live orchestra. The music is powerful. Literally. You can feel it in your chest. Seeing it live gives you a new, deeper appreciation for the genre. The people at LP recognize that most people are likely casual listeners of the genre, so they throw us a bone when they perform, and they'll play a recognizable piece. It's a nice touch. You also cannot beat free. I've been to a few LP events, and have never had to pay a dime. But your donations are welcomed. Free concerts by a full orchestra several times a year, playing some of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written by some of the most esteemed writers in music/world history, and all right here in Louisville. How could you honestly not love it?

My oldest was wanting a guitar of any sort for Christmas this last holiday season. My wife or me neither have a musical bone in our bodies and have never played an instrument. So we were kinda lost in the sauce on what to do here. We walked in and was greeted immediately. We explained our situation and got some advice on acoustic vs electric for forts time learners. After getting some great advice and help the worker showed us some recommended guitars that fell inside the budget range we gave him. We wanted to get her a nice guitar but didn't want to get the nicest just in case it was just a teenage faze and became a Giant paper weight. After looking at a few options we picked out a beatific looking acoustic guitar. The tremendous customer service continued after that as the worker gave us advice on getting her started with tuner apps, etc etc. mainly stuff that confused a music novice like me but it was appreciated either way. She loved her gift. We have slacked and drug our feet a bit as we haven't gotten her lessons yet. But we will soon. They actually offer lessons up there and have a huge studio on site for it. It seems like the pricing for the studio lessons is roughly about a $1 per minute. Overall cool experience that ended up being a cool and memorable Christmas present.

I had been planning on getting a new guitar and researching for a couple months trying to find a…read morehigh quality instrument that fit my criteria. I learned a lot about the current quality problems with some of the major brands and after much back and forth narrowed the search down to Taylor and Furch. I had also heard of some of the horror stories about the large nationwide retailers. A friend of mine who had made purchases there before suggested Steilberg Stringed Instruments. He took me there and introduced me to Jim Steilberg the owner. Jim and his staff were some of the nicest people you would ever meet. Jim was a fountain of knowledge was answering the questions I had before I could even ask them. I never felt rushed or pressured and he wanted me to try many different models to ensure that I found what was right for me. All the display models are meticulously maintained and Jim even asked that we wash our hands before playing them to avoid skin and oil contamination. The store has several humidifiers that maintain the proper humidity level necessary for fine instruments. The Furch Yellow GC deluxe that I decided on was absolutely beautiful. Just looking at it, you know it is quality through and through. The sound was remarkable being well defined without being overly bright throughout its register just as Sitka Spruce and Rosewood should be. I knew that was the one when I heard it. Jim also adjusted the action to make sure it was just right for me before going home with it. Great people, great service and great instruments plus a locally owned shop that cares about its customers. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend.

As you can see from the receipt, the date the bass was dropped off was 9/8/20. After almost two months of following up with this apathetic junk peddler, they got around to do something (albeit not the service they committed to providing in one weeks time). So as you can see from the write up on the receipt, I took this instrument in to have it repaired and they did not fix the pick up nor provide adequate results on the items they did "say" that they performed. This place is a joke and please consider Moms Music or any of the luthiers you' can find on Craigslist because I essentially paid $42 to not have my instrument for a month and a half. Absolutely amazing that places like this can stay in business.
