My girlfriend purchased a banjo on December 3 2015 for Christmas to gift me. Upon purchasing the…read morebanjo she asked if I did not like the instrument could we return it. The people selling to her said that she could return the banjo as long as it had everything it came with, but only for in store credit. Perfect. Fast Forward to Christmas day. I receive the banjo as a Christmas gift, December 25 2015. The very next day we go to the music store, December 26 2015, to purchase metal finger picks for the banjo. Upon entering my girlfriend spots the exact same banjo marked down because it's used. We ask if we can return the brand new banjo with everything it came with (including the price still attached to the instrument by string, I never took it off) and instead purchase the used one. Unfortunately, those returns could not be handled by anyone other than the manager, John. They informed me I would have to contact him today, December 28 2015. I called the Mid Rivers Music store and asked to speak to the manager. He got on the phone and introduced himself. I explained to him what had happened and that we'd like to get the used banjo instead, returning the new one with everything it came with for in store credit. He asked if we had the receipt. Yes, we do. He then asked if we had the box it came in. I explained to him, there was no box that the banjo came in. It only came with a case and a pipe tuner. Otherwise, my girlfriend would have wrapped the box instead of wrapping the banjo case (she told me this was annoying, but she did it for me). John then tells me he cannot take the banjo back unless we agree to a 20% stocking fee because we don't have the box they never gave us! After going round and round, I told him I would be contacting the BBB, and taking further actions if necessary. This is literally robbing us of 20% of our purchase, returning the new banjo in new condition with everything it came with. Needless to say, after reading another review that seem to have a similar issue (albeit with a much less price) I will not be conducting business with this place again unless this issue is resolved.

Please note: In order to see Sasha Radicic you must call and make an appointment first. He works…read moreout of his home. In 2003 I purchased a Gibson Les Paul Classic Double Cutaway electric guitar. It was beautiful but it had a "buzz" on one of the strings that drove me nuts. I took it back to the store where I got it and they couldn't fix it. Then I took it to an authorized Gibson repair shop downtown and they worked on it and couldn't fix it. I was so frustrated I ended up giving it to my teenage son for a graduation present. The buzz didn't bother him. Flash forward 19 years - My son was planning on buying a new guitar. His wife told him he had to get rid of one of his 4 guitars before he bought another one. It was near Father's Day and I asked him if I could have it as my Father's Day gift. He told me, "It still has the buzz that bothered you." I told him that's okay, I'd deal with it. I researched guitar repair places and decided to try Sasha Radicic. St. Louis Guitar put me in touch with him. He is a master luthier, expert in repairing and building stringed instruments. Once I had my Gibson back I called Sasha and made an appointment to bring him my guitar. I was surprised that the address he provided led me to a private residence, but that was fine. I was primarily interested in finding someone who could really fix that buzz! Sasha is an extremely knowledgeable and personable fellow. He spent over a half hour examining my guitar. He used several different measuring tools and expertly diagnosed multiple problems. He told me exactly what he would do to remedy them. This guitar had suffered a lot, and had multiple issues. He gave me an estimate of the cost to repair it, and I asked him to put new strings on it as well. About a week later he notified me that the guitar was ready to pick up. He took time to plug the guitar into an amp and played it for a few minutes as he described what he had done to it. That included adjusting the truss rod, removing some of the frets, filing some of the frets, cleaning the fretboard and oiling it, polishing the chrome hardware, and changing the strings. Then he handed the guitar to me to try. NO BUZZ! Sasha did what two other Gibson authorized repair shops couldn't do. Not only that, but after I told him because of my age it was harder for me to get clear notes on some of the chords, he set up the strings as low as they could go without hitting the frets. My guitar is the easiest guitar to play that I've ever owned, including some Martin, Fender, and Gretsch guitars. I play now every day, and my Gibson is a joy to pick up. Sasha Radicic is a master at what he does, and will forever be my "go-to" guy for all my guitar needs.

Most vintage guitars I play feel like you need to be delicate with them but this feels solid as a tree trunk and he added electronics that sound great too. Highly recommend!

I've been working with Eva for 5 years, so she's been a staple in my life for a while now. She is…read moreso talented both vocally and as a teacher, and knows how to guide people through to progress. I had a voice lesson with another teacher once before, and I had a hard time getting over the vulnerability of being loud and filling a space with my voice. When I started working with Eva, she made me feel so comfortable and safe, and helped me get to a point where I could laugh and not cringe at myself. From there, progress came quick and with that, increased confidence. She helped create core memories for me through the coffee shop showcases that she set up for us. I've been on stages and competitive fields before but being up there with just me and my voice is a feat I'm most proud of. And in terms of my technical improvement, I felt my range open up and I feel as though I was able to sing more songs comfortably. Now, it's like I can actually color the songs/express myself in a rich, full way and not just worry about hitting the notes. Singing was always fun but now it's FUN. I love that my voice isn't something that I just have, I know how to evaluate it, color it, exercise it, and improve upon it. It's a skill that's a part of me now, that I can nurture and grow. My work schedule's getting in the way of me continuing this year but I hope as soon as I get some control over schedule, that I get to return. Anyone who's able to take my spot on her schedule is a lucky student :)

As a non traditional student that was just looking to learn a good baseline of technique, Eva…read morereally gives me a lot of wonderful tools to improve my craft, and honestly so much more!
