I recently purchased an Ampeg head that was toast and in need of repair. It turned out the head could not be repaired even after Ken took pieces from a donor amp that he had. Fast forward 3 weeks later after I couldn't sell it for parts and I ended up finding the main board new from Ampeg. Ken agreed to swap it out and also replaced the preamp tubes which were toast as well. This long winded story is an example of Ken's persistence and dedication to help his customers. That is why he comes so highly recommended.

They are a dealer for Buffet and Selmer, and carry Clark Fobes clarinet gear too. Every time I see Crystal at Wright Music it is a great experience, and reminds me that in these days of internet shopping, the human interaction in a "real music store" adds considerably to the buying experience. She is always knowledgable and helpful, and if she doesn't have what I'm looking for, she can get it quickly. With the near-evaporation of the W 48th Street (Manhattan) music strip, I've made Wright Music my go-to spot for all things relating to sax & clarinet. Highly recommended and always worth the trip!

I had a great experience with John at Mobile Guitars. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly,…read morepatient, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me find the right fit. John really knows his stuff -- he's an active gigging musician who plays in bands, and that real-world experience comes through in the way he talks about gear. He gave my guitars a thorough assessment, explained everything clearly, and offered honest, practical advice without any pressure. His knowledge is impressive and his passion for music is contagious. On top of all that, the prices are very competitive. If you're a beginner trying to figure things out or an experienced player looking for expert guidance, I'd highly recommend paying John a visit. He's the kind of person who makes you excited to go home and play.

Joan is clearly a master of her craft with tons of experience. She patiently answered my 10 billion questions about new piano ownership, and even took a lot of time to research specifics that were applicable to my piano, since it's a hybrid acoustic piano/digital "silent" piano. She also offered reasonable, practical, solutions and options to ensure optimal maintenance, for instance with maintaining ideal humidity levels in my home as well as potentially installing humidity controllers within the piano. Lastly, it's important to mention her prices were very reasonable. I can tell she really cares about what she does. On a side note, it was also extremely satisfying to watch and listen to her tune a piano. Very highly recommended!

He is the guy to visit if you're looking for a fine instrument, seriously, I mean this, he is the guy you want if you're looking for pristine condition instruments at honest prices with transparent and thorough descriptions. A skilled luthier, he sets up most of is instruments himself, and all around ensures they are in prime condition (both in look and sound). He is honest, straightforward and incredibly helpful. If you get to visit his studio, he gives you time alone to discover the instruments and all around ensures that the buying experience is a pleasure from the time you walk in to the time you walk out with your new axe in hand. Thank you Rich, I look forward to enjoying my new guitar for many years. UPDATE: August 2020: After months of playing my guitar the I acquired from Savage back in March, one of the tuning machine gears stripped out (from normal wear, as these are original hardware from nearly 50 years ago). Rich was available via both email and phone. He took time to consult me on replacing the hardware including back and forth communications as I had questions and uncertainties. He is there to help with ongoing service over the course of owning the guitar. Highly recommended!

If you are an adult looking to start or pick up those music lessons you left off years (or…read moredecades....) ago, I recommend Scott highly. He was my son's private drum teacher for about a year before I asked him if he'd be willing to take me on as a student. I had played the violin for many years, but was always interested in trying piano. I could tell from my son's lessons that Scott was patient, nonjudgmental and easy to be around - all qualities that appealed to the adult student in me. Scott was happy to add me to his student roster and I've been with him for almost three years, first as a piano student and now also on guitar. Scott is a truly excellent teacher, for both kids and adults. With my teenaged son Nick, who takes both drum and bass guitar lessons, Scott combines attention to the basics (scales, basic drum rhythms on a drum pad) with a willingness to follow Nick's interest in learning particular songs or beats. It's no surprise to me to hear Nick practice things like "Fly By Night" or "Tom Sawyer" by Rush, because they are cool pieces for a kid to have fun with after he learns them. But what really impresses me is that somehow Scott has gotten him to understand the value of starting a practice session with basic rudiments and warm-ups - the kinds of exercises anyone, especially a teenager, might be tempted to skip to get to the "fun stuff." So I'll hear Nick tapping away on the drum pad for 15 minutes before he even starts practicing a song. That's pretty great when a teacher can convince a teenager to do repetitive exercises on an instrument on his own initiative. No need for me to yell downstairs, "practice your scales!" It's already happening. With me, Scott is fantastic at teaching the rudiments of theory but also totally open to helping me learn any song I'd like. Since I started with him a few years ago, he's worked with me on songs as diverse as Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" to "Color my World" by Chicago to Miles Davis' "So What." I'm always seriously impressed that Scott can listen to any song and write it out musically in a way that I can read, and, with some self-discipline, eventually play! And he's totally cool about it when I admit that I've dropped the ball on practicing because my schedule has been really busy. His patience and flexibility are most welcome to the adult learner. In addition to being our private teacher, Scott has also served as musical arranger and director for a few extended family holiday concerts. He's created super user- friendly arrangements of holiday classics for diverse instruments (violin, drums, bass, piano, trumpet) and ages (5 to 55 years), and has even conducted rehearsals for all the amateur musicians involved. It's been a pleasure for our family to benefit so much from Scott's diverse talents and his enthusiasm for taking on different musical projects for us. I recommend him highly as a teacher, musical director, or arranger.
