A happy customer for life!!!…read more Eli was beyond amazing. He took the time to examine my Alto Sax that caused me 4 trips and almost $250.00 at Oberloh Woodwind and Brass Works and the Sax was still not functioning as before. I was treated in a very professional manner. Eli looked at the Sax and advise me that the cork needs replacement soon and he un-did some of the tightening done by the folks at Oberloh. RESULTS? A happy sax player and I practice more and more because it's been a joy to play the instrument I love. Thank you very much, Eli! See you next time!

Steve and Kristy Smith are great owners and really kind people. Steve is very knowledgable and his…read morejoy in helping his students succeed as drummers is apparent in every lesson. He is also an excellent player and that translates 200% into his teaching. In my years studying with him I learned an incredible amount in terms of complex musical concepts applied to percussion, simple straight ahead groove and feel, and the art and science of professionalism. Everything he taught me is extremely valuable and directly applicable to being a better drummer. 35+ years after taking my first lesson with him and I am still using his original material religiously in ways that I never dreamed of. I just can't offer enough praise.

I've been taking drum lessons here for years and love it!! Steve Smith is an amazing instructor!…read more He's a talented drummer and does an excellent job teaching and coaching me. I enjoy my lessons because Steve challenges me and my drumming skills have improved exponentially over the years. I recently started taking voice lessons with Natalie and she is also an awesome instructor! I've really enjoyed her teaching style. I'm not the most confident singer and was a bit nervous when I first started; however, Natalie has helped build my confidence. Even though It's only been a few months, I feel a lot more confident and am a better singer. The staff at the school is top-notch! KZ handles everything at the Georgetown location. She's very patient, super smart and funny! She adds a fun energy to the school.

I've repaired multiple items here he always takes 3 weeks or longer to get the job done. So if you…read moreneed your stuff fixed in a timely Manner this isn't the place. He does good with solid state amps and pretty good with tube amps as well. I had him repair a Macklemore 18" powered sub woofer and after 3 times and $200 it never got fixed. Took it to S&X and he found the problem right off the bat and fixed it in a week so my last experience was a waste of time and money. Not sure if he is even still in business

After researching amp repair places I chose Solid Repair based on proximity to my home, maybe not…read morethe best metric to use but it turned out to be an excellent choice! Kevin is a friendly and professional person and I felt very comfortable leaving my high-end amplifier for him to repair. I was impressed with how quickly he diagnosed the issue, I was also impressed at how well he dealt with this extremely complicated amplifier that I have. He had a couple issues with it, but was diligent and continued to work until he found the problem. I thought the charge to repair was extremely fair as well. I highly recommend Kevin and will be taking my other amps to him for any service they need.

It had been about 5 years since I last played my clarinet and I decided I wanted to start up again…read more My instrument needed an overhaul repair, BADLY. After doing some research online, I found Granlund Woodwind Repair. The owner, Scott Granlund, had a lot of recommendations from professional musicians in Seattle, so I decided his business seemed reputable enough for me to give him a shot. The shop is a bit confusing to find. It's a single room workshop located behind Clever Bottle in Belltown, and I mean literally. You actually have to enter the bar and walk through a door in the back to get to the place. The shop itself, though cluttered wall to wall with instruments, parts, and tools, is charming. Scott immediately plopped my instrument on a table and appraised the work needing to be done. He wrote up an estimate, told me it would take about a month and a half to completed everything, and I was in and out in about 10 minutes. Now I ran into problems when it came to the estimated time of completion. Though Scott had told me 6 weeks, 6 weeks turned into 8, which turned into 10. I was getting a bit frantic, but after several sessions of phone tag and some tense emails, we arranged a time for pick up. Overall, I was pretty happy with the repairs. His quality and craftsmanship were very good and I could definitely feel the difference when I started to play. It's a shame it took so long to have everything done, however. I would have given him 5 stars if it wasn't for that fact.

Mr. Granlund is pleasant enough to converse with but I could not get him to work on my instrument…read morein a timely fashion. It was in his possession for a few months. I ended up retrieving it and having the work done elsewhere. Perhaps the turn around is faster for professional musicians.
