Customer service is terrible! When I entered the store both employees completely ignored me and…read morethe store was empty. I looked around in an attempt to find what I was looking for myself, still neither said anything. One looked at me and still said nothing! I decided to ask them if they had the product I was looking for and one employee was on his phone and never looked up and the other employee on his computer did come out to see if they had the product. I left because they evidently don't want my business. I didn't even know they were in this particular Plaza. Because, I need to make ongoing musical purchases and their location is very convenient I would patronize their business. Not now... unfortunate for them.

I couldn't go to far, so I googled music stores and Music and Arts Crofton popped up. I called and spoke with Steve, who was incredibly helpful and gave great advice. I had no other option, but to come to the store to see if he could assist better. I got there, and Topher was there to help, and then Steve returned to assist. He suggested that it could be my cable, so I prayed and purchased one. Thank You Jesus and Steve and Topher for the help and recommendation; because it worked! I was able to complete my session successfully. Thank you again Steve and Topher.

Have you ever met someone and instantly knew they were about to become a huge part of your family?…read more Tom Bonvegna responded to an online inquiry I had about a Baby Grand piano that I wanted to surprise my husband with while he was deployed. My husband had played for years and since this was our first home purchase, I really wanted to make that happen. Tom, a Vietnam Vet and hero, reached out to me, heard my story and desire, and made it his goal to help us get a beautiful piano delivered. Our budget was ridiculously tight, and Tom made it happen. I researched everywhere, from estate sales, other online marketplace forums, about 15 different piano stores (some local, some not). After all of the research I had done (not knowing much about pianos beforehand), I learned that unless you REALLY know your stuff, you needed to go through a reputable company. If a piano wasn't tuned for the duration of its life, it could look pretty, but it wouldn't be very functional. I almost made a deal with another company that I would have regretted... and then Tom called and from that moment, I had an absolute peace about working with him. He was not a "salesman," but a true gentleman. Tom went the extra mile by a lot!!! There was one piano we thought would work, and it was even bigger than my original plan. After Tom looked at the pictures of my home (and staircase), we decided to wait for another piano to become available. There was a little bit of time that went by where I didn't think we were going to find it, and then... the call came. Tom found the most beautiful Yamaha, ebony, baby grand that plays incredibly! My husband was completely surprised and has loved at (1) having a baby grand piano delivered in his home without him there, (2) that I stayed within my designated "muahahaha" budget, and (3) that we found such an incredible person to work with. The piano delivery service was also excellent! Such care, such professionalism, and physical strength too. It's been four and one-half months and my home has been filled with music ever since. Thank you Jason's Music Center for being such a wonderful company to work with...and thank you to Tom for really making this happen.

Steve was a total pleasure to work with in the purchase of our new Kawai grand piano! We had been…read moresearching since the summer exploring both the used and new market for a Kawai trying to marry our budget with our needs and desires. Once we decided on a piano, Steve was able to make the magic happen so we could bring it home! This included trading in our baby grand. As our piano wasn't in stock, Steve went out of his way to locate one for us. There was a wait for the next shipment and the process of customs, but it was so worth it! It has a beautiful, rich, mellow sound! We are looking forward to the decades that this piano will be used! Today alone, it's been used almost nonstop since it's arrival! Also, the piano movers were so professional and really took care of each piano during take down and set up. Thank you again Steve!

For several months now, my daughter has been taking singing lessons from Music & Arts in Hanover…read morewith an instructor named Zach. Last week, my daughter, who is 10 years old, became frustrated during lessons because he was pushing her hard, and she was repeatedly unable to do what he asked. They decided to end the lesson early because she was crying and embarrassed. Today, Zach tells us doesn't want to work with my daughter anymore. My 10 year old held her head up high and returned to work and be challenged, but instead is met with rough rejection at the hands of someone who is not a posed as someone who supported her. This is highly unprofessional. We still have two lessons left, however they will not be giving us a refund. I think it is unreasonable to expect us to pay for 2 more lessons with a completely different teacher who lacks the continuity that Zach and my daughter have had for months, especially after we have been made to feel very unwelcome. This does not include front desk staff who have always been professional, flexible and caring. If you have a young child, or a sensitive child DO NOT WORK WITH ZACH!! He will crush their hopes and dreams.

We had a beautiful 1926 Grotrian Steinweg Piano that needed to be refurbished and, unfortunately…read moresold, so we called Crofton for the refurbishment and subsequently to sell it on consignment. Crofton Piano picked it up from my mother's home in Virginia, gave her a statement that she would get $15,000 upon it's sale, refurbished it and listed it on their website for over $45,000. It hadn't sold in over a year and we weren't surprised by this...we knew it would take some time to find the right buyer. I finally called to find out the status of the piano only to be told that it had been sold on an installment plan to a "gifted pianist" for $6,000. At no point had we been contacted to approve this and Mr. Fisher claimed he "lost" my mother's contact information. Finally after getting my attorney involved, he promised to send my mother monthly payments of $500 for a total of $6000 and we accepted since it was clear we were never going to see that $15,000. He sent two payments and the money stopped coming. My mother is on a fixed income and that money would have helped her a great deal. Steer clear of this rip off artist.
