I started taking piano lessons at the Guitar Guild in January of 2019. I am now taking violin and…read morepiano lessons remotely. I love music, and relearning an instrument I know (piano) as well as a new instrument (violin) has helped me stay sane during the pandemic and lockdown. The Guitar Guild is a community asset -- I feel good going there not only because the education is excellent but also because the owner regularly contributes to the local community in so many ways. Guitars to Palmyra High School. Free online concerts to kids when they couldn't go to school. I feel really fortunate to be a part of this school. My daughters also take lessons there. But speaking for myself, I have to say my experience with the Guild and its instructors has significantly improved my life before and after the quarantine. Highly recommend.

Now that my daughter is getting ready for college and is laser focused on Music I sit back and know it all started with the amazing lessons provided when my daughter first started.

In a day where kids are tied to the internet it's a blessing to see a child sit at a piano own their own learning and having fun with music.

After my partner bought a Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute bass at Russo Music earlier this year, I…read moreheard so much from him about how this was 'one of the best shops on the east coast.' Recently I got the chance to check it out in person when we stopped in to browse two Saturdays ago during a day trip to Philly. It's located on the same block/in the same building as Union Transfer, the music venue. The music store has two floors. The main floor/street-level floor showcases electric guitars, basses, and some synthesizers. The second floor has acoustic instruments - guitars, basses, ukuleles, and I think I even saw a mandolin. The repair service area/shop is also upstairs. I remember the big beautiful windows that let in natural light in the space, and rugs and couches to sit on the second floor. The people working there were friendly and ask if you want to try out any of the instruments. You'll see bowls with "Russo" picks here and there too. It's a cool instrument shop. Really high quality instruments there, and nicer than the inventory at a GC. One apparent difference is that the instruments on display at Russo are adjusted and ready to play, in contrast to a big box music/gear store where instruments are mounted straight out of the manufacturer box. It's an easier/better experience for the customer figuring if they like what's in their hands at Russo. And even though it's a boutique store, it has a larger inventory than you would expect. An aces shop, highly recommended!

Any alternative to G Center is a blessing…read more.. Situated as a neighbor to Union Transfer, it makes the 1K block of Spring Garden St. quite the musical destination. First, I dig the shoppe. The walls are festooned with (mainly) guitars, but a few gorgeous basses (for the bassists among us) pepper the collection. A pink 60s P bass is the pick of the current litter. I, however, just needed strings for my '76 Mustang, and my tech guru suggested I stop at Russo's before dropping off the ax for a tune-up. Glad I did. Prices and inventory are about average...but certainly competitive. Solid B. Being primarily a pianist, I can't dole out an A, as they had nothing that might draw my business regarding my primary instrument. But, no matter. Where Russo's really excels is in its staff, imho. From a phone conversation with a gal who put my (very specific) strings aside, to girl behind the counter...all just as pleasant as you please. We talked basses, performing, and teaching for a brief moment, before the rigors of the day pulled me in other directions; but only after being fortified by some solid conversational vibes. Don't order your stuff online. Def. don't go to G.C. Spend the extra fiver and keep places like Russo's open. See ya there, maybe.

From the very start, they were communicative, helpful and SO MUCH FUN to work with. They guided me through everything, asking questions and covering bases I would have never thought of. They were complete professionals and they made me feel so comfortable that I wouldn't have to worry about one music-related thing on my wedding day - and I didn't. But you're probably wondering - are they actually any good? YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! They are amazingly talented and ridiculously fun. They read the room perfectly and knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. My guests absolutely loved them and are still talking about them. If you are looking for live music, you cannot go wrong with them.

They were also pros adapting to the space and working with everyone who was running around making things happen. We can not recommend them enough!
