Noel is now building a Ken Fischer Trainwreck circuit amp and considers it the best sounding amp he…read morehas ever built or heard. While it may not be a real Trainwreck amp (which are selling for over $30k these days) it is a very nicely built and great sounding (loud if you want it to be) little amp. He also has several other new designs and is always working on the next one. If you want a custom built boutique amp at a reasonable price, look up Noel. Nice, and very cool stuff. Noel, thanks for the test drive.

My step-daughter started piano lessons with Olga a little over a year ago, with no previous…read moreexperience on the piano, and has learned a tremendous amount. Olga is a very demanding teacher, which I like. The repertoire is primarily classical. She puts a strong emphasis on precise playing and on the proper touch involving the fingers, hand, and arm. She gives a broad musical education, that covers not only playing but also musical theory, sight reading, ear training, and public performance. She puts on recitals twice a year so the students can show off their skills. She also teaches flute, and the flautists perform in the same recitals.

David Goodrich is a wonderful character. He doesn't always make it to the phone in time to pick it…read moreup, but he responds quickly to e-mails so I'd recommend that route for communication. And he is by appointment-only now, so don't just show up and expect to be seen. All that said, I doubt there's a better place anywhere to get your instrument repaired. He is extremely knowledgeable and downright passionate about violins, violas, and cellos. I own one of his violins and I take it in every year for a check-up. He holds it like a baby, taking his time to inspect everything, then hands it back and asks me to play something. Then he makes a face, takes the violin, and adjusts something before asking me to play again. Repeat for up to an hour. It's amazing how the tiniest tweakings make such a massive difference in sound quality! My violin has literally doubled in value since I bought it, and I'm sure it wouldn't have matured quite so magnificently without the yearly adjustments. Plus, it's really fun to get to try all sorts of new things- from strings to chin rests to bridges of varying heights- and then learn about why they change the way your violin plays.

Over 25 years ago, I purchased a "restored" cello in NYC that had serious problems. David discussed…read morethe issues with me and I ended up having him re-set the neck, remove the top to reinforce some cracks, and re-bush the peg box to allow use of higher tension strings. He also advised me to write to the dealer from whom I'd purchased the instrument detailing the problems he'd solved. Based on his diagnosis and reputation, they sent me a check covering most of the repair cost. I still play this cello today, and it has been entirely free of problems. David routinely works on instruments worth 10-20x what mine cost; I would trust him with anything!

I'm so pleased with my violin repair. I loved the sound before and couldn't image it better. I…read morebought a good quality violin 7 years ago and had only had one repair when the sound post fell. Derek at Von's saw the the post was too short, I needed a new bridge. I was hesitant. But the difference is night and day. Derek also repaired a crack under the tailpiece and a seam repair. I'm virtually playing a whole new violin. So very happy with the experience I need a rehair next, and to keep everything humidified properly so it remains a beautiful violin. What you don't know can hurt. Thanks You

I am so happy with this customization, that I don't think I can adequately express myself!!!!!!!
