I took a vintage French alto saxophone and then a student model Japanese alto saxophone to John for…read moremaintenance and to fix issues a previous technician had not solved (and also created). John did well with the student model instrument. Unfortunately, the French alto saxophone was left in an unplayable condition; the octave key was not working. I had John take another look at it, but he seemed to just keep it at his shop for another week without doing anything. He also called me repeatedly to pick it up, even though I told him multiple times that I was out of town (I was away for a week, and he called as if I had left it there a much longer time). When I picked it up, he gave me a discount, but I should've been suspicious. I had had enough, so even though the octave key still wasn't working, I took it home. I later noticed a poor solder job and burnt lacquer on a key. When I took the French saxophone to a different repair shop, they fixed the octave key problem, solder, leaks, and adjustment issues he missed. The only reason I would give John two stars instead of one is that he quickly fixed the student instrument; however, I would not trust him with a vintage or professional instrument.

What a disappointment. I went to have my daughter's clarinet corks replaced and when I returned 2…read moredays later, not only were the corks replaced, but pads were replaced as well - the pads, which I didn't order, cost double what the corks cost - so a whopping $113 later, I was more than frustrated. The gentleman, Paul, who I placed the order with, and who was the person I picked it up from, said that I had ordered the pads as well, which I didn't. I wouldn't even know to ask about the pads. When I told him that I didn't order the pads, his response was "well, it will play now", to which I responded with "it played before". There were no apologies, no trying to come to a resolution, nothing. I just had to pay the money. This experience left me feeling ripped off and left me feeling as though their business practice is questionable, if not unethical. A total disappointment.

Aaron was my son's drum teacher for almost two years (7th-8th grade). Before we even had the first…read morelesson, he helped us with recommendations for drum sets; we found a great deal on high-quality used set, a brand Aaron had mentioned. Once lessons started, he patiently worked with our son, taking him from a complete beginner to a competent drummer, able to participate in his school's advanced band. We truly appreciated his flexibility with scheduling, since our son's extracurriculars changed each season. Aaron was prompt and always polite. Our son definitely enjoyed his lessons. What we particularly liked about Aaron was how he approached teaching. Instead of sticking to just one style of music, he had our son playing many different genres of pieces - rock, jazz, classical - and learning to read the accompanying music, as well. We had fun with listening each week to the tunes he chose for our son. Aaron is not at all intimidating, so it was very easy for our son to get right into the lessons. Drummers are generally pretty laid back, so they make for pretty "chill" instructors! All in all, we had a very good experience with Aaron. Our son switched teachers this year, only because he is able to take lessons at his school now. We would absolutely recommend him to others!

No big deal except that the store proceeded to charge me for a 4th month of lessons well knowing that this instructor would not be available for lessons. I asked the store manager several times about receiving a refund. 4 months later not only have I not received a refund, now I am getting invoice statements mailed to me. Again I asked the store manager why I have not received it and all he does is blame upper management. I asked to speak with upper management and was given ridiculous excuses as to why I could not with a smug attitude. I tried calling headquarters and am placed on an endless hold.

I called and let Al know what was going on and he told me to bring it in. The hours are not reliable since I tried coming in a few times during business hours to find out they were closed. I went over today and he tried my amp and saw that it wasn't working. He tells me he can give me $50 back towards a purchase of another amp. I questioned why I wasn't able to get the full amount I paid which was $75. He told me he was unable to. He could have it shipped out to get repaired and that would take a couple months. The new amp he had for me to purchase I would have to spend another $50 dollars on. I was so confused why he wasn't just giving me the $75 dollars that I spent towards a new amp I would purchase in his store. He told me that when things like this break you get them repaired, the store just doesn't give you a new amp. A questioned why it made sense that I spent $75 dollars on what I thought was a new amp and to find out it breaks within the first week and I, the customer, have to lose out on $25 dollars, AND have to buy another amp for an extra $50 dollars, AND at a store that just sold me a defective amp and basically said "too bad so sad". Towards the end he was yelling at me and said he wasn't doing anything at all for me and I left with my broken amp. He got very emotional and couldn't hold up his own when being questioned about the quality of his products and customer service. As I walked out I said "I heard you guys are closing?" he said "yep we are after 64 years" and I said "I can see why." To that he said "have a great day!". I go to another place for my guitar lessons and they are wonderful!! And they said they'll fix my amp.
