Educated me on recording stuff and explained where to spend a little more and where to cut back, for max quality from a meager budget. Please -- seriously -- don't tell ANYONE how great these people are. If word gets out the place will blow up. Lifetime beginners like me who are not cool, not wealthy, not famous, and definitely not talented, will no longer get past the door security.

After taking my 15 year old Taylor acoustic guitar to a different repair shop, I was reasonably…read moresatisfied, but not thrilled. They subsequently went out of business, and I needed new strings, so I found Tringas Music. I told my story to the sales clerk and he suggested I bring it in for a free diagnostic, as their luthier was highly trained and experienced and might be able to make an improvement, but if not, there would be no cost. He also mentioned that they had done a number of fixes on the "repairs" done by the shop I had used. A few months later I did bring my Taylor to Tringas. I talked with Greg Tringas, the owner, who examined it inside and out, and was clearly a bit saddened by what had been done to fix the cracks because of the aesthetics, but told me it was best to leave the repairs as they were. Basically, he felt that the cracks should have been invisible after the repair, which I could see would have been the case if they had been repaired more expertly. That was water under the bridge, but speaking of "bridge", he did feel he could make a major (to me) improvement in the action, explained everything they would do, and quoted me a price. He was very respectful and clear, showing he understood how valuable my instrument is to ME. A few days later they called, and I went to pick it up. I am THRILLED with the playability and sound. This guitar sounds better than when it was brand new and it is tremendously easier to play. I recommend these guys wholeheartedly. They truly know their craft and have top standards of service and art.

So he has to eek out a living doing what he obviously loves, being a luthier. And he's good at it, he's done it forever. My Martin was underwater for three days and warped beyond recognition. I thought it was totaled. When I got it back it was nearly perfect. I highly recommend Tringas and hope they can weather the new economy. We need more techs that can actually fix rather then replace everything.

Not only do they love my boys like their own, they are actually having fun while learning. You can't put a price on that. If I had to though, it would be more than what they charge. (Shhh don't tell them I said that) but the prices are fantastic too. There are multiple different lessons to take though PMA. It is conveniently located also. Highly recommend PMA if you're looking for any music or vocal lessons.
