The place is clean with TVs and is next to a few places to eat if you're there for a spell. Bathroom needs a code but was also clean.

I called the number to see when I can get some. First of all Donnie doesn't know how to talk professionally. He exacts words were. No more fish no more sakura. It is discontued. I asked if you catch it then you will make and he gave me a smart remark. I will not be buying fish from him anymore. I will make my own from now on. I can make just as good but it cost me more to do it myself.

Drain Man did solid plumbing work for me initially. On December 23, they resolved a slow toilet…read moreseepage issue efficiently, and I was happy with the quality of the repair. Follow-up work (faucet replacement and shutoff valve replacements) had to wait for a building-wide water shutoff. When I learned on Jan 23 that a shutoff had been scheduled for Jan 31 (a limited, 3-hour window that happens maybe a few times a year), I contacted Drain Man immediately--speaking with the office manager and following up the same day by both text and email with full details. (These communications had concluded by 1:15 p.m.) By 11:30 a.m. Monday morning I hadn't heard back. When I called again, (the call rolled over from the office directly to the plumber, who said he was on his back underneath someone's sink), I was told nothing was scheduled and was asked for the work details again, despite having already provided them. When I expressed concern about the multiple provisions of the details--given the tight timing--the conversation was ended abruptly by the plumber ("I'm busy"). This experience suggested organizational and communication issues. That impression was reinforced by the fact that my landlord had also been waiting on an electronic invoice from the December visit and still hadn't received it by Jan. 12. Bottom line: if you're judging purely on workmanship, I have no complaints. But if timely communication, clear scheduling, and not having to repeat yourself matter to you, this may not be the right fit.

Although Hilo is home to one of the largest and most diverse music communities, musicians are…read morelimited to only a handful of small music shops. Big Island Guitars has arrived in town with goals and dreams larger then your average shop. Big Island Guitars hopes to expand their services to provide a place for musicians to meet and jam. The products. Big Island Guitars is an official dealer for Ibanez guitars. They carry a variety of guitars ukuleles and music products from brands such as Line 6, Seagull, Jasmine, Tama, Quantum Audio, Dunlop and more. Big Island guitars offers new, used and consignment items. I I am a garage sale picker, tire kicker and all-around scamp when it comes to buying things. The terms "consignment" and "used" means two things to me: the possibility of rare items and great prices. The service. The service here is professional, experienced and comes from individuals who care about the music community. They offer equipment rentals and minor repair services. They can also refer out heavier repairs such as neck work or body refurbishment. In addition they also have classes available for new musicians. Another item worth mentioning, under certain circumstances the shop is willing to offer trade in credit or even pay cash for instruments and equipment. I have not seen any other music shop in town offer this. There are so many times where I would have jumped at the chance to "upgrade" my guitar rather than have to sell it privately just to buy a guitar I really want. The location. This is probably my only critique point of this shop. It is too small, in a traffic heavy area with limited parking. Can't fault them on this too much though, every other music shop in Hilo has this same problem. The shops are too small for the amount of products they carry and it is a nightmare to find parking. If I need to turn sideways to get through rows of products that is not ok, neither is having to wait 5 min behind a twit driver that is failing at parallel parking. The prices. In all honesty it will almost always be cheaper to purchase instruments and equipment from amazon.com or musician's friend. But trust me on this one, It is a pain to have to deal with shipping bulky items to Hawaii. The savings is hardly worth it in the end. You will either lose the savings to shipping prices or have to wait forever for your items to arrive. You also do not get the benefit of trying out the items before purchase. This being said, Big Island Guitars provides prices that are more then fair and are readily available for sampling before you buy. Truth be told, I know Spencer and I am giving him a shining review because I hope his shop does well. This does not go without merit however, the products and service are rock solid and Spencer's enthusiasm is apparent the second you step inside. A shop like this is a refreshing change as it strives to grow and be part of the community around it. The business is new and the space is small but with support of local musicans like you and I, it could turn into a place where music lives.
