I found orchard studios on line and made an appointment because they are close to my house. I have now been studying with Joe about six months and reaching plateaus I never dreamed possible. Joe is an excellent teacher. Very patient, knowledgeable and very supportive. Plus he's a pretty good guy. So if uou or someone you know wants to learn an instrument look no farther than orchard studios.

I'm from California and was looking for a specific model of a guitar that this Guitar Center…read morelocation happened to have in stock. I sent a message through the GC website to this location to get some more information on the guitar since it was hard to tell exactly what the condition of the guitar was based on the photos. Their sales manager, Ben, emailed me back the same day and provided very detailed information about the condition of the guitar. He even included additional photos that were very clear and he indicated in the photos where there were any cosmetic imperfections on the guitar. Although I did not end up purchasing the guitar, I was extremely happy with Ben's customer service. He really went above and beyond. Based on my experience, I would definitely consider a used gear purchase from this Guitar Center location in the future.

Imminently knowledgeable and keen, we just knew the work he was doing was the right thing. I was told he's certified by the Martin guitar folks. My friend had a Charango from Peru just to show Tom, and he immediately identified 3 or 4 things he could improve on the instrument. This store bills itself as South Jersey's Oldest Music Shoppe, since 1938. They are very active in the community with local high school bands and the like, and the very friendly cashier was the daughter of the original owner. The selection of musical instruments, music, and all sorts of related paraphernalia was mind-boggling. It seemed very-well kept up and clean to me. You may not find that rare Martin 1935 guitar here, but that's not what this store is about. Lessons, rental, special events and more can be found on their website - pleasantvillemusic.com - check it out!

Patrick has done it again!! I brought in an ordinary 80's Yamaha Acoustic Guitar. I thought I knew…read morewhat I wanted done. Patrick told me the truth about what needed to be done. I went for it for a few more dollars. I can't tell you how happy I am. I own many guitars Taylor's, Martins, Fenders and they all have their jobs and their personalities. The Yamaha has come back alive with ( No Kidding) lowest action of all my acoustics. This is the second guitar Patrick has set up for me. His work is.... I don't know. You have to experience it with your guitar. Guaranteed to make a better guitar and give it a new better voice and easier to play. Truly an artist. Thanks Patrick.. Soooooo HAPPY!!!

Being a smaller business they may lack the quantity merchandise that you may see in big name companies, but the customer service they have is amazing!

I can say proudly that I'll be a returning customer for whatever my music needs are!

When I got the guitar, there were no surprises. The man knows his business and is very passionate about music. He is a small business, so I dealt directly with him, which is very comforting.

As far as the gear goes... all top notch stuff... we're talking custom shop Charvels, Jackson, Fender Custom Shop, McNaught, PRS, etc. Just walking into the showroom and your mouth will drop to the floor and GAS(Gear Acquisition Syndrome) will ensue. On top of that, he always seems to have the latest gear shown at the NAMM shows just a bit earlier than other retailers so that's always a plus. If you're looking for a store that's heads up about the Sam Ash's and Guitar Centers, then go to CMC Guitars. You won't be disappointed.
