He's not bad but for sure imperfect: great temptation for short cuts. When he gives up on a song, instead of turning it down, he just wants to finish up and go on to the next song. He is delusional thinking he can make bad singing good with his stellar tune but don't be a fool: impossible! But don't get me wrong, i really feel if you keep a keen eye on him, you could not find a better producer. PS: he is very impatient and only wants to teach advanced talent. If you fall short of this, don't go to his school! You will be a bull to the booth slaughter where he is will just shower you with blown up success stories just to filibuster-blunder time so he doesn't have to hear your horrible voice. Bad singing drives him insane. He should change the name to Elite Voice Acadamy; not a euphemism.

UPDATE: someone from Alamo Strings reached out to me to say the contracts are stored digitally and…read morethe originals are destroyed. Also that I can exit the contract with no penalty. I do believe at the store I was told the paper was securely kept at a different location and wasn't digital storage. I believe the person who contacted me about the digital storage is correct but that definitely wasn't fully explained. Also why can't I do it online if that is the case? I gave two additional stars on their review because of the quick outreach but still don't like giving my Social Security Number on top of all the other info. And have no idea why a third relative is necessary. Also if this was better explained at the point of sale it would have eased a lot of my frustration. ORIGINAL REVIEW This place is awful. We were sent there by my child's elementary school. It was the only choice we were given which makes it so much worse. They have very poor business practices. They require a social security number which they keep written down which is very poor security practice. Also they require spouses name address phone and an additional relative's name, address and phone. I understand checking my drivers license and keeping information including credit card on file but all of this is unreasonable. Further it definitely should not be kept on a single piece of paper. Further we are renting because my daughter has never played violin and she may hate it. But they require a 32 month contract! This is for fifth grade, yet the contract goes through the end of seventh grade. That is also not reasonable. The staff were also rude. When I complained and questioned these things I was told I could purchase the instrument out right if I didn't like it. Again this was the only option given to us by the school. The owner appeared on the parents meeting zoom call. If he is going to work directly with the school he should have better business practices.

They also do not appear to be a PRS authorized dealer anymore I posted my review elsewhere and was not going to add it here but based on their reply want to get it posted The claim that these instruments had functional issues or 'body splitting' is a blatant fabrication used to justify a $300 offer on instruments that routinely sell for way more. The Strat is a 'Closet Classic'--it is designed by the Fender Custom Shop to have checking and age. To use factory relicing as an excuse to offer 10% of market value is either a lack of product knowledge or a deliberate attempt to mislead. The $4600 dollar guitar I was looking at looked like it had Lost a long-time customer today. I've been a loyal supporter of Lark Guitars for years, spending a substantial amount of money here and recommending them to others despite their premium pricing. I believe in supporting local shops, but after today, I will never step foot in this establishment again. I went in today prepared to purchase a $4,600 Custom Shop Telecaster. For trade-in, I brought a PRS SC 58 and a Fender Custom Shop Closet Classic Stratocaster. After waiting, I was met with an insulting offer of $300 per guitar ($600 total). Claiming these high-end instruments are "too beat up" to offer more than entry-level Squier prices is either a blatant attempt to scam a loyal customer or a total lack of product knowledge. For a shop that deals in boutique gear, they should know exactly what those models are worth. I packed my gear and walked out. If you value your instruments or your time, I suggest you look elsewhere. They've lost my business for good.
