They recently helped me re-setup my Tele after I screwed it all up by adjusting the neck on my own. They did great work, and got my guitar back in shape pronto.

So it cracked! Buckdancer's were able to fix the crack (it happened two years in a row) beautifully and did not charge me an arm and a leg to do so - reasonable price! The guys working there are really great. I have had a good experience shopping there over the years for myself or grown children. Highly recommended! Phinneas, the owner, is a very nice man too! PS They gave me some great advice on hydrating gear to protect the guitar going forward as well.

Doesn't matter if you or your child has learning disabilities, a gap in music theory, or just plain stage fright: Every time I come across a lesson, song, or technique that feels frustrating or confusing, she finds an innovative way to tackle it or explain it! It took me 14 years after my childhood lessons to commit to learning piano again, and then it was incredibly touch to find someone who offered lessons outside of the standard 9-5 work week for a reasonable rate. Not only does Malena offer flexible times for lessons, but her rates are totally feasible, and she's even more flexible now with the option of video lessons. I adore Malena and can't recommend her enough.

I'd reached out to a bunch of moving companies and the quotes were crazy (one company wanted $2000) or vague ("Sure, we can probably figure out how to move a piano). A friend recommended Starbird and Jill was quick to respond by email and to arrange a date. The moving team were prompt, professional, careful and really great! Moving a piano is completely different to moving a sofa. They have it down to an exact art and it was kind of awesome to watch my piano being carefully padded, wrapped and then placed into the truck. Once at the new address it had to go up two very steep flights of stairs with tight turns and the guys made it happen. Highly recommend as piano movers!
