Geddy's a good dude and does a good job setting up guitars. Took two acoustics that needed its…read moreaction brought down. One of them had an impossibly high action and I wasn't sure he'd be able to shave the saddle down enough. But he did an excellent job on both and they play beautifully. They were intonated perfectly and without and fret buzz. Price was good--better than what a setup would have cost at Sweetwater, for example, and I liked the fact he's local and can do the setup once I receive the guitar since the shipment process itself can alter how a guitar is set up. Also, as a side note, he also makes candles on the side and will give you a sample.

Excellent service, pricing, and work! I got both an electric and an acoustic set up by Geddy and…read morestill love playing them several months later! I will definitely be going back.

I feel bad for not stopping in here even once after passing this place a thousand times, at least…read more I had an issue with the C note on my Alto sax and was in no mood to go to Sam Ash with the rt. 17 traffic and all so I stopped in here just before they were closing today(a Saturday). John could not have been more engaging, honest, sincere and downright cool. No big timing here. No waiting on employees who are practicing on their instruments while you wander around like a fool. As soon as I walked in - 'Hey can I help you?' I like that. I will be back and I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wants excellent customer service. And yes I took the sax home mins later, good as new. A+++

Music Gallery has gained a new customer for all of my guitar needs.

My rating is and is based on service and my 4 yr old taking classes. We started with a groupon and…read moremy daughter loved it. She takes the Pre-K 4 class which consists of ballet and tap....to be exact....ballet starts promptly at 1115am and 1150am they do tap and ends at 12pm. I kinda wish it was a bit longer and use a full hour but I guess being a 4 yr old maybe 45 min is enough. My daughter has fun with it so that's all that matters. The parking is off street....so bring 50 cents for the meters. I don't have much of a problem looking for parking.....so no complaints there. What's nice is if we miss a class then we can make it up on Fridays....we call and ask to make sure first if they can accommodate her. It's at 545p-630p so perfect after work for me. Will who works at the front desk is very friendly. The tuition can be placed on your credit card and can be automated every month. Kim the owner is very nice and answers all questions. They also offer parents night out from 5p-9p on weekends...this happens once in awhile....looks like it's monthly so far..it's $25 per child. Also, we can't watch the kids the entire time HOWEVER.....there's a curtain and it's hard to see BUT they do have a TV and alternate the rooms on saturdays....so every other sat I can watch my daughter in her class.....They really need to get another TV or maybe split the screens to watch both classes.
