    Craig was super friendly to deal with. He was very knowledgeable with the instruments and has dealt…read morewith all the surrounding schools, so he knows the demand and the importance of a quick turnaround. He set a date and stuck to his promise. He not only went through and polished off my son's Bach Stradivarius trumpet, but he also worked out the dents on the bell to bring it back to a 'next-to-new' condition. He even delivered it to my son's work right down the street, which was an added bonus. Craig, and Oleary's Musice Center comes high in my recommendations. Support a local business and see the difference your customer service experience can be.

    I took my trombone there for repair in January, 2019. The owner never contacted me, so I followed…read moreup to find out if it was done. He kept making excuses. He set up times that he would be travelling near my home so I didn't have to drive the hour to his shop, but he would never contact me to meet or make excuses at the last minute. He stopped answering when I would call or text, and would not reply to me. I finally had to send a letter threatening to contact the NH State Consumer Affairs. The owner contacted me after that with a total BS excuse. He put me off for over a week until he finally just shipped it to me. I got it twenty-one months from the day I dropped it off. AND HE NEVER EVEN WORKED ON IT!!! I absolutely do NOT recommend this business.

    I've wanted a Mann Made wraparound bridge for longer than I care to admit. Never met him, spoke…read morewith him by phone briefly only once years ago. John was always available to answer questions, and his email response time was same day. The bridge arrived today and is everything I had hoped for and more. Absolutely beautiful work, and without going into detail, John had to do something extra on this to make it work. In short, he's a stand up guy, and delivers what he promises. Whether you're looking for one of his custom parts to upgrade or considering buying a PRS from John (he has a long and positive history with Paul Reed Smith personally), do not hesitate. Thanks, John...I'll be back.

    "Sorry you feel that way" -- John Mann…read more Update: John made a comment on my Google review (screenshots below). He has also chosen to comment on my Yelp review and referred to me as a "vindictive, angry young man" rather than answer the actual concerns I had raised. I saw they had a listing for a used retail display rack on Facebook. I expressed my interest and explicitly stated that I was on my way and that I would be able to provide an accurate ETA soon enough. I live in Maine and traveled an hour and thirty minutes away. I was 20 minutes away and ready to send my ETA, but before I could, I received a message that the rack had been sold. I was not told or informed that anyone else was interested or on their way to pick it up. I contacted John Mann with the hopes that he might understand the situation and provide any type of apology or explanation for the inconvenience. I was frustrated by the situation but hoped it was a misunderstanding and was willing to give John the benefit of the doubt, that he didn't know I was on my way. Instead, he says: "Sorry you feel that way." He never told me at the time that it was an old listing posted by mistake. He only offered that explanation after the reviews were public. He had the opportunity to clear up any miscommunication privately; however, he chose not to do so. Had he apologized for the inconvenience at the time, when I stated how the situation made me feel, I likely would have let the situation go. Instead, he took no accountability for his mistake, ignored my actual criticism of him, and shifted the blame onto me for no reason other than to save face.

    Both of my children had been taking music lessons at North Main for over two years. We stopped…read moretaking lessons there in favor of something more local since we moved and as the old song says, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. The educators at North Main are not just well versed in music, but they're professionals. When we had lessons scheduled for 6:30, they started at 6:30...not 6:40 or even 6:50! The instructors knew how to make music FUN for our daughters- they practiced during the week and they couldn't wait until the next lesson. When we first signed up it was explained to us that if we missed a lesson for whatever reason that makeup lessons weren't promised, yet on the occasions that we did miss a lesson due to vacationing, sickness, whatever, they always managed to fit us in at another time. We tried two other places (that shall remain nameless) and the instructors were not in North Main's league. The owners didn't seem to care about anything but money. The kids were nowhere near as motivated or interested. Lesson learned: when I asked the kids if they wanted to go back to North Main Music one of them literally started jumping with joy. We had to wait a couple of weeks for spots to open up and everyone was delighted when we finally got the call. They even asked one of their students to switch time so that my kids could take lessons at the same time and the student was nice enough to agree. It now takes us an extra 20 minutes or so each way to drive to North Main Music but it's well worth it. Thanks, guys!
