I took a vintage French alto saxophone and then a student model Japanese alto saxophone to John for…read moremaintenance and to fix issues a previous technician had not solved (and also created). John did well with the student model instrument. Unfortunately, the French alto saxophone was left in an unplayable condition; the octave key was not working. I had John take another look at it, but he seemed to just keep it at his shop for another week without doing anything. He also called me repeatedly to pick it up, even though I told him multiple times that I was out of town (I was away for a week, and he called as if I had left it there a much longer time). When I picked it up, he gave me a discount, but I should've been suspicious. I had had enough, so even though the octave key still wasn't working, I took it home. I later noticed a poor solder job and burnt lacquer on a key. When I took the French saxophone to a different repair shop, they fixed the octave key problem, solder, leaks, and adjustment issues he missed. The only reason I would give John two stars instead of one is that he quickly fixed the student instrument; however, I would not trust him with a vintage or professional instrument.

This is the worst music store I've been to in New England. I brought my cello to replace a string,…read moreI paid $20 for the string and $10 for the labor, the next day I went back to ask for re tuning the cello, the man kept yelling at me and told me to tune it myself. And I asked him for advice on how to tune my cello, he said there is none, no technics, just do it. I will never go back to this stinky store and super bad customer service ever again. If I can give 0 Star, this is what they deserved.

I all but gave up on the thing until my friends told me about Cranky's. For a very reasonable fee, Greg worked on the frets, tremolo, tuning heads, saddles, and gave it a thorough cleaning. She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!
