They say great things about Southtown and shared how they have been in this neighborhood for quite some time. Just yesterday I was speaking to a parent and she had been bringing her kids for over 5 years! Kendra is on staff and I believe the manager there. She is very knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating to all the guests that come through. She doesn't shy away from letting you try any instrument in the store. Dean is also on staff and he is very helpful. No, I mean like, very very out of this world helpful! We actually chatted through Thumbtack to get things arrangeds for my daughters piano lessons. I wanted in home, but he was determined to find a teacher that would be the best fit for our schedule and needs. Here's a little secret about Southtown. I had an experience with a guitarist I found through a Groupon deal at Southtown. It discouraged me a little from playing. But Kendra and Dean really redeemed themselves. They don't know this, which is why I can say their service is genuinely from the heart of caring about sharing their passion for music. Thank you Southtown!

Dean not only recommended the right string (costs only $1) but also put it on my guitar free of charge. Such a genuinely sweet guy. He has a free 30 mins session which I think I will try out soon.

I had heard great things about the North Coast Guitar Company and after calling them I sent my guitar there to be repaired. North Coast was very busy, and it took a little longer than expected, but the repair exceeded all my expectations. The amount charged (including return shipping to Connecticut) matched their estimated cost and was well below what the replacement cost of the guitar would have been. I believe the guitar looks, plays, and sounds better than ever. I am a very satisfied customer and highly recommend the North Coast Guitar Company. Stan G
