They treat you like a friend and try to help you find what you're looking for. I never felt like I was just another sale, and I never felt rushed in my playing of their showroom pianos. They are very accomodating to off-hours appointments to meet customer schedules. Questions are answered quickly and communication is top-notch. The technicians and tuners they use and recommend are skilled, friendly, and great to work with as well. We are very lucky to have this great resource of a friendly, knowledgeable piano retailer conveniently located in southwestern Ohio. I highly recommend BHA as a reputable business. Bob and his team stand behind the pianos they sell, and they have great customer service. I have purchased from BHA in the past, will purchase from them in the future, and have recommended them to friends. Make BHA your first and last stop in your piano search!

I've stopped in Sound Force a few times over the years and experienced a significant issue today. I…read morehad a gig which was going to require a direct box today. I've not had a need for one yet but knew it was a good investment. Normally, I order from Sweetwater, but I needed the box immediately as a last minute purchase. First, their hours on Saturday are from 11-2. I arrived at 1:40. On the front door was a sign which said please call this number to enter which was strange and inconvenient to me. I entered and someone greeted me, I assume one of the owners. I heard his voice, but he was not visible until I walked back to the show floor where he was sitting at a desk. He didn't get up which was somewhat unprofessional to me. I asked him to show me the passive direct boxes which he was very knowledgeable about his various models. I was set on purchasing a stereo LTI-1 Rapco Horizon. It was priced at $109.95. I asked to see some XLR cables (30 ft. Rapco Horizons priced at $21.99 each) and a RCA male to 1/8 inch ($8.99) cable for the box. A quick check on my phone identified the same model box for $95 and the cables for $18.84 a piece. A difference of $21.25. I asked for a price break of $5-$10 which I thought was more than fair. He said, "No I gotta be there." He provided me a different option for mono which was cheaper, but based off of our conversation, he knew I wanted stereo and was in a bind. I said let me think about it for a minute. He walked away and came back about 3 minutes later. It was now 2:00 on the dot and said well were closed now. Again since I was in a bind, I went ahead and made the purchase. He came across very arrogant. On my way out, I explained his behavior was a bit unprofessional for me spending $175 (after tax). He stated well me and the guys (which there was only one) have been here all day so we've got to go. I said, "You're only open for three hours today." He then continued by saying they worked long hours all week (normal hours are from 12-6) - not long in my book. When I go to a non-corporate business my expectation is for all the employees to have a little more finesse with their overall communication and not try to rush me out the moment the second hand hits 2:00. I won't be back. The arrogant attitude he had was more than enough to write this review. I was ok with the prices after considering it was small business, but was really put off by him rushing me out. If I would have had more time, I would have went somewhere else.

I told him I was just looking at his guitars. He hovered around and I asked him if he plays guitar. His response was a short, "yeah". Still no big deal, but not friendly. I spotted a nicely priced, and beautiful guitar so, I asked to see it. He obliged and got it down for me. I then was looking for a place to sit to play it a little (I pretty much already decided to buy it, but I usually never buy a guitar without playing it first). He then said, "Oh, planning on staying a while?". I just wanted to play it a bit before buying. I was so turned off by his customer service. I seriously felt like he was treating me like a criminal. I decided not to buy it and am really upset. It was beautiful. I refuse to give my money to someone so ungrateful for a paying customer. No one on this street in any of these shops treated me like this. He was the only one. I'm really bummed out because, I wanted to buy it and was forced to walk away so as not to give him any business. He evidently didn't need the money. Must be nice.

Michael Overly is without a doubt one of the finest private music teachers in the country, particularly for guitar. I didn't realize it at the time (I was terrible about practicing what I was supposed to practice and Mike used to call me "Space Case!"), but his method and instruction gave me the theoretical and intellectual foundation to set me up as a pro player. He had an early handwritten version of his own method book at that time, and it was far superior to anything I have seen on the market since. I later used that book as a foundation for my own guitar teaching and when I lost the old book I did my best to recreate it. I can absolutely recommend him to any parent looking for a serious teacher for their own child. He also has the experience and theoretical knowledge to be a terrific resource for any adult player looking to expand his or her horizons to the pro level. Mike did a lot for me more than 30 years ago as a musician, and I'm very glad to have a chance to return the favor by writing this short review.

Not content to use the stock "guitar method"…read more books abundant from Mel Bay & Hal Leonard, he instead has created the first music method for the guitar. I started playing and taking lessons as a 12 year old and now in my 60's I'm finally really learning how to play guitar. And I take lessons with my 7 year old Grandson, who is fortunate to begin lessons with a method that will allow him to advance so much further then I ever did as a kid. Anyone in the Dayton area who is serious about learning how to play guitar should immediately sign up for lessons with Mike. You won't believe how much you will learn about music and be able to apply it to playing the guitar.
