Poor customer service. I took an instrument to them to be repaired, called them 6 weeks later and…read morethey did not know where my instrument was. Megan said they would call me back. I called them back later that day and the next day, the manager did not bother to get on the phone with me but was relaying messages to Megan on the phone. They assured me they would be calling me back. The next day. I received a text message letting me know it would be six more weeks and the manager would update me. I had yet to talk to a manager or receive an apology. I texted back that it was unacceptable since they already had it 6 weeks and they lost it. They said they would try to get it done as soon as possible. Two weeks later I was informed the manager would be picking up the instrument and would contact me. A week later Gabe contacted me and was very apologetic for the situation. This was the first apology that I had received. Gabe is the reason this review got one star. He went above and beyond to apologize, communicate and called me more than once. I did get the instrument back. However, when I went to go pick it up, Megan acted like she did not want to help me or recognize that I was in the store. I paid over $300 to have the instrument fixed and my daughter informed me not all the pads were replaced. Very disappointed in this music store and the customer service received. I will be using a different music store in the future

That experience was also awesome. Ethan helped me out and was very understanding. His first response was to offer to ship me a new in 2 days... I asked about in stock items and he indicated he had another one in the store, still in the factory carton. So i asked to check that one out... it was worse than the one i bought. I asked if i could have the store tech look at my purchased instrument. He introduced me... can't remember his name. He was rather dismissive regarding my issue but made some simple adjustments while i was there.. I took it home and it pretty much the same... I'm now at a point where i'm ready to chuck it all, still mulling it over but i wanted to give a shout out to CG for its much improved customer service.... Shout out to Ethan!

My "ill behaved child" as you state was traumatized from the threats, yelling, harassment you and the psychotic lady displayed towards us. Being in a family of musicians as well as being financial donors to the performing arts in our city, we are constantly surrounded by musicians and performers and instruments. My child was exposed to instruments since the age of 4 months. She wanted to play a piece on the "keyboard" which was broken and missing keys. She then went to the cabinet and commented "just like the one in the museum" referring to Benjamin Franklins Glass Armonica replica. You should really have that rude psycho lady evaluated as she's a danger to society. The customers who left said they didn't like the way she kept glaring at them, side eyeing them, squinting her eyes at them and they also stated she displayed stereotypical racist behavior. They had everything recorded for social media and I gave them my permission to share. Our Uber driver left out of fear for their safety and ours. Running after our Uber was even more of a threat by you and we Uber now has dashcam recording your foul language and physical aggression. I'll be more than happy to have them release it to you and the BBB which I am currently in process of working with. My rights were violated, I felt extremely threatened for my child and myself, I have been experiencing emotional duress since the encounter. read more

I'm a professional musician with over 40 years of experience playing several styles of music. I have had my saxophones repaired by the best but John Gill is by far the best instrument repairman I have met to date and an even better person! The attention to detail as well as his years of experience really shows by the quality work he does. It's really been nice to have a repairman of his caliber in Sacramento saving me the bi-annual trip down to the House of Woodwinds in the Bay area as well as giving excellent operating instrument for reference to continue to improve my skill! The review from Dennis B. is totally and completely misleading! I challenge anyone that reads that nonsense to just stop by and meet John and his wife and I guarantee you will fall in love with them! They are the best so if you are in need of some excellent instrument repair do yourselves a favor and stop by and see John! read more

I go to John Gill several times a year for all manner of brass and wind instrument repair. I am in charge of a large collection of band, orchestra, and early music instruments for a university and John is never phased and always knowledgeable. Bass flute, alto flute, bassoon, English horn, contra bassoon, tuba, bari sax, recorders, alto clarinet - he has expert knowledge and skill with any wind or brass I've left in his care. He stocks strings, mouthpieces, straps, swabs... everything I need to get our students up and running. His service is exceptional, quick, and his prices are quite reasonable. In fact, for the same price, I don't think there is another repair person of his caliber anywhere in the valley or bay. He's a treasure and I can't give enough praise. If you care about your horn, take it to John. read more

The inside has such a cool relaxed music studio vibe, I think I spent most of the time walking around and checking everything out from the different rooms to all of the awesome artwork on the walls. I even love their giant wall where all the kids sign and doodle on it! When we arrived, one of the owners welcomed us and gave us a tour. I love that they have glass doors so you can see other students practicing everything from drums, to bass, to singing! As much as you'd think all of the noise could be a bit much, I actually found it relaxing and liked hearing all the different instruments. My daughter's singing coach (Cale) was very patient and kind and she left even more excited to join than when we arrived. When we left, the receptionist gave us a flyer with the pricing and class options for my daughter's age - I thought it was a bit steep at first, but it includes 8 classes a month - 2 a week - 1 one on one session for 30 minutes and 1 group lesson for an hour and a half. Everyone there was so nice and you can tell the coaches/teachers love their job and what they can offer to these kids! The coaches offer everything from bass, guitar, drum, singing, and even keyboard/piano. They also offer summer camps, workshops and they even have the kids put on concerts! We will definitely be joining soon and I can't wait to see where School of Rock takes my daughter's confidence! Check them out!
