I'm sure they will have a good reply for this.Maybe they aren't interested in consignment anymore. From now on I'll only be going to Lark Street Music and Alto Music.

My daughter plays violin. A lot. The people at Stamell are top-notch, super-helpful, and local…read more They patiently helped guide her when we were selecting her first "better" violin. Troy is an expert luthier, and his repair work (which we've unfortunately required...) is first rate. We are lucky to have Stamell around and supporting the Poughkeepsie area for strings. It's actually kinda remarkable that we have a string shop of this caliber in these parts! Now if we can just get a White Castle, a Trader Joe's and some kind of specialty running store. That would be sweet.

Throughout EVERY location of Peekamoose Custom Guitars and Repairs, owner-artisan-luthier Paul…read moreSchwartz has ameliorated all my guitars, acoustic and electric! Most recently, up in halcyon Rhinebeck County he worked once again on the first guitar I ever brought him in about '84, my Guild F-20 NT; adding a Piezo Pickup, Gold Locking Sperzels and new frets via the killer Plek Machine. Decades of experience and state of the art equipment in the hands of a master put this old guitar in terrific intonation over the whole fretboard and bring out its inner crackle. The little extra one pays is commensurate to the outcome. Without a doubt, the latest work makes my Guild acoustic more viable and play better than ever! The test of quality for me is that I can't stop playing it, and its treatment makes challenging playing inviting. If you want your instrument at its best, Peekamoose is where it's at.

We recently left 3 musical instruments at MeKeels Music Shop, for them to find a buyer…read more We did not get anything from them in writing which was our mistake. When we called to find out their progress we were told that he sold one of the instruments. We asked why he didn't call us he said I lost your number. He told us the amount he got for the instrument and we were shocked at how low it was. He never called and told us he had a buyer and the amount he was offered for it. When we called him, he was very indignant on the phone and hung up on us. We went to the store to get the money he had for the one instrument and pick up the other two. When we got there we were able to locate one of the instruments. Upon asking about the other he at first could not remember where it was. Then said oh ya I sold it. But didn't remember the amount or who he sold it to. He gave us what he thought he got for the two instruments. When I told him I was going to put something on Yelp he told me if I did he would come to my house. So remember get something in writing before you do business with MeKeels.

They are worth every penny. I paid $$200 to have my twenty year old Martin set up. They fixed the neck, took care of the frets and worked an unwanted bow out of the body. It plays like a new guitar. I'm bringing my bass here next. If you want things done right these are your guys. I have had too many disappointments over the years from so called professional repairmen. This is the first time I feel I got my money's worth!

What a great experience. We needed an entry-level instrument for our teenager that wouldn't break…read morethe bank but also wasn't junk. Eddie quickly came up with a few options, including the perfect solution -- a Luna with a richer, more robust sound than we thought possible at that price point. The guitar already had high-quality phosphor bronze strings on it, and Eddie made a good deal even sweeter by throwing in a brand new gig bag and capo. He was friendly and professional, and never made us feel awkward for being non-experts on a limited budget. And, he managed to be very attentive to us while also working one-on-one with a pupil who was learning a Hendrix lick. Give Eddie and his terrific shop your business -- you won't be sorry.

I have two pianos that needed tuning and some key issues attended to. I called and the appointment…read morewas quickly made and arrived on time. My Young Chang baby grand had not been tuned in many years and also has a Pianocorder system installed back in the 70's. Chris fixed a couple of piano key issues and carefully tuned the piano. The action and sound is a pleasure to play and listen to. Chris had to leave to be on time for another appointment and later the same day returned to tune my Yamaha CP80 Electric stringed Grand Piano which had not been tuned since the '80's. Finally, both pianos function beautifully and bring their wonderful sounds back into my home. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your prized possessions you can depend on New York Piano Works to give you great service and value.

Sharing my review from Google - If you love your piano, this is the guy to go to!!…read moreMy baby grand piano is over 100 years old so I didn't think there was anything that could be done to improve how it sounds. It had been tuned before by someone else, and it sounded "ok" for awhile, but there were keys not responding, with some even sticking, and it just didn't have the responsiveness that made playing it enjoyable. And after having just been tuned, it didn't sound like anything more than an old "tinny" piano sound. So it sat for over a year not getting played. I lost interest because it was just "too hard" to play. After reminding myself that time passes whether we accomplish anything or not (let's not forget 2020), I called Scott to come look it over and see if I could find some enjoyment in playing again, with a piano that sounded better. He looked it over carefully, determined it could be tuned and serviced, and explained how all the little pieces worked, or didn't work, in my case! It was fascinating to see the inside workings! Scott went about dismantling it, showing me all that it needed, but discussing with me what could/should be done now vs. what could be done later down the road, like replacing the keys or refinishing. The result - a spectacularly sweet "voice" emerged out of MY piano that I never thought could happen from a piano this old! Who even knew that my piano had a distinct "voice"?? And the "action" of the keys was significantly improved! I couldn't believe it! I spent the whole next day in front of the piano practicing! If you are concerned about quality service, need an honest assessment, and really care about your piano, call Scott. He emailed appointment details and a reminder, and then a follow up "thank you" email, to check in, and he listed everything that he had done. While at the house, he explained clearly and thoroughly what he was accomplishing, and was very personable, even making friends with my cat, who seemed to want to be a part in the action! Bottom line: Scott can help you with your tuning requirements or really dig deep to making your specific piano everything you want it to be!

The service was awful too. Jeremy was always late or cancelling and he sent one of his helpers to install the damp chaser which was installed incorrectly and on several occasions sent some of his helpers to tune my piano and they did a terrible job. True story.
