I recently contacted Doug( The Owner) to inquire about a project I was interested in starting…read more Fifty years ago this September my buddy and I recorded a record album at his studio which at the time was in East Hartford. I was 17 and my buddy Rich was 16 at the time. We were interested in remastering the album and converting it to CD for it's 50th anniversary. Doug took on the project and did a fantastic job ! It meant so much to have the man involved in the original recording help us out 50 years later. I recommend Doug highly to do audio and video projects. He is so kind, professional and just a pleasure to work with. Thank you Doug for still being there when we needed you !! Kerry Keating

Gil is such a nice guy. I was visiting my parents and didn't bring my cello with me, and with…read morefingers crossed called Gil to see if he had an adult cello that I could rent. He took the time to fix the strings, supply new rosin for me, and tune the cello for me. He also made time to access my Dad's guitar to see if it was sellable or just something to donate. Very patient and friendly person. You never feel like he's rushed for time. Will definitely be back!!

As a beginner, I love going into Dynamic Percussion. I've made four separate trips to the store…read moreover the past few months, and Gus feels like an old family friend at this point. I had no intention of buying anything the first time I visited, and he still spent ten minutes patiently explaining how to change the heads on my new (to me) kit. Needless to say, when I eventually decided to swap out the heads I went back to the store and went over all of my options with Gus. Could I go to a huge chain store and get more of a selection? Possibly. But I'd much rather support a local small business where the people who work there know my name and take the time to work with me one-on-one to make sure I learn something new every time I come in and get a product that fits my needs.

To my absolute delight, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, threw in a drum key for free, and the old, doddering manager guy was nowhere to be seen. I'll be happy to return and continue paying the premium as long as I receive no more lip from the old angry manager fellow. He was a massive turn off.

They offer a long list of specialties in both classical and modern methods, for nearly every instrument and voice.

Would highly recommend Fox Hill School of Music to anyone looking to learn about music, production, and performance, from the novice starting out on their musical journey to the seasoned veteran looking to improve their talent. Fox Hill is The Real Deal!

Quite honestly, I'm writing this review because I have just recently received my guitar back from Corey (one of the owners) who restored my damaged fretboard with a much better Tusq nut to boot and upgraded the pickups and all electric switches/jack hot-rodding my first ever guitar an Epi special. I happened to be in the shop (as I usually am- Great place to check out new gear and play some awesome instruments), and seen he treated with the care and skill he would one of the more expensive guitars and at a great price!! I am in love with this instrument again and have not put it down, he showed me his wiring and it was top-notch; I am absolutely blown away at the quality of his craftsmanship and the tones coming out this guitar. All that being said I also have two children taking instruction there and they love it. The instructors meet them at their level but continually challenge them. My wife and I are quite happy with how the children have been improving and how happy they are with their instructors. Their prices are better than most places and the instruction is great. I have also have had the opportunity to go the monthly jam night they host and it was a great time. All in all, Martel's is a great place to be and shop for your music needs in my humble opinion.
