I had two of my pianos tuned and cleaned by Faust. Their piano tech was friendly and knowledgeable…read more I have used many other piano tuners but was happy with the service that they provided. I'm giving Faust 4 stars because of the lack of flexibility with their schedule. I work during the week and they don't have any weekend appointments available.

I've been a customer of Ritchie's music for a long time and have seen a lot of changes over the…read moreyears. Yesterday, I decided to stop in to see what they had as I needed as replacement bass and wanted to give my business to a local retailer as opposed to the big box/ online stores. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. The selection of instruments was impressive and having the ability to play them makes a huge difference from the online option of just seeing it on a web page. I did purchase a new bass and will be returning if I need anything else . It was refreshing to deal with knowledgeable professionals. Very happy with the purchase and experience.

Just had 2 seriously neglected instruments repaired at Ritchie's. The den of thieves at my local…read moreguitar store said my Martin Sigma acoustic with a hairline crack was totaled...I might as well buy an equivalent new model. Instead, went to Ritchie's. They braced it up and did fantastic work all over the instrument to make it playable again. It totally shines now. Carlos and his Tech John took hold of my Gibson Les Paul and made it like new...a master restoration. Best news was the many hundreds of bucks I saved and can now invest in a new instrument there. Superior customer service. Ritchie's wins my business every time...HIGHLY recommended!!!

I was choosing between a few different…read moreplaces for voice lessons, and Denville Music Academy kindly let me do a trial lesson before making my decision. Once I met my teacher (Alyce, who is both talented and fun to talk to) during that trial lesson, I knew I would be staying and didn't have to try any other places; I really enjoyed myself and learned so much already within my first lesson. Everyone else at Denville Music has been very sincere and flexible too, in my interactions with them. Plus, the academy is a kind of cool, quirky, warm vibe inside. Definitely recommend trying it out!

I can't imagine a better experience than buying a piano from Isaac at Prosper Pianos. I reached out…read moreon a whim after seeing a post about the business. Though we've wanted a piano for years, we had looked only casually before being struck by Isaac's philosophy: taking pianos and touching them up or even restoring them to sell to people across a wide range of budgets and skill levels. When I reached out, Isaac responded promptly, and we had a long conversation assessing what we were looking for in a piano. When we went to his shop, he explained the origin of the pianos he had and what made each different. He graciously let us try everything from a Baldwin spinet to a beautiful late-1800s Steinway (which he knew was NOT in our price range!). We ultimately settled on a warm Charles Walter upright, made by a smaller American company we hadn't been familiar with but that - - besides making great pianos - - has business values we appreciate as a bonus. The piano movers Isaac works with are excellent: they arrived promptly and carefully navigated the piano up several steps through a narrow entrance, in and out within fifteen minutes. Now we're beyond excited to have this beautiful piano sitting in our living room and highly recommend Isaac and Prosper Pianos.

I can't say enough good things about my experience at The Music Shop, and especially about my…read moreinstructor, Dave Wheeler. I'm a 72-year-old saxophonist who picked up the saxophone for the very first time after retiring from a 40-year career in biochemistry spanning academia and research. So yes, I came in knowing enzymes better than eighth notes. Dave has been an absolute gift. He brings a deep well of music theory knowledge, practical musicianship, and real-world experience to every lesson. More importantly, he has remarkable patience and creativity. He listens carefully, identifies where I'm struggling, and then designs clear, effective strategies that make practice both productive and enjoyable between lessons. What I especially value is that Dave doesn't teach from a script. He adapts to the student in front of him--age, background, learning style, and goals included. Thanks to his guidance, I've made steady progress, gained confidence, and genuinely look forward to practicing and improving. If you're considering lessons at The Music Shop -- whether you're 08 or 78 -- I can't recommend Dave Wheeler highly enough. He's the real deal. -- Michael Van Allen, student https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelavanallen/

I'm sharing my experience to help others make an informed decision…read more I brought in a ~1-year-old student flute (purchased on the West Coast) for what I now know were minor adjustments. At the time, I followed the technician's recommendation for a full COA. When the instrument was returned, it played essentially the same as when I dropped it off. I brought it back a second time. It came back slightly improved, but still not properly adjusted. A few weeks later, I visited an independent flute technician in Brooklyn. He immediately identified the issues, charged nearly half the cost, spent over an hour on the instrument, and fixed it correctly. It has remained in excellent playing condition since. Based on this experience, I would not return here for service or purchase. I would strongly encourage others especially parents of student players to seek a second opinions and verify the quality of work.
