We rented a microphone for a memorial service and needed the most basic mic. After the staff…read morerealized we didn't know a ton about musical equipment they became condescending and it felt like they spoke down to us. After making several trips we ended up having the buy accessories from them in addition to renting the mic to make it work. They made it clear they only want to work with professional musicians. It's difficult when you're already grieving to ask for help and be treated like you're a burden. I grew up in Fall Creek and always the thought Hickeys was a kind, local business. That's why we asked for their help and expertise, so I'm sad we couldn't have had a better experience.

Amazing selection of trumpets to try out. The staff went above and beyond helping us.read more

Dennis and the Way kept our guests dancing all night! So glad we found him. Planning a wedding is…read morestressful, but one thing we didn't worry about was the music. Dennis was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. A quick google search for "finger lakes wedding band" will yield a number of results including Dennis. We chose him after discovering that many of the other top results were essentially businesses that contracted dozens of musicians all over the state, with many band members often meeting for the first time at an event. Knowing that Dennis was local and works with other local musicians gave us confidence in our choice and Dennis proved us right!

Just what we needed! Dennis arrived early, he set up and…read moremingled with the crowd before he began his set. There was no way for him to know this but his very first sing was my mom's favorite; Lean on Me. It was perfect since Maepop is named for our parents and I think that was a sign we are doing a good job. We will definitely have Dennis back.

She was very friendly, knowledgable, and willing to work around my schedule to talk via phone, email , Skype or in person. I procrastinated on picking out the ceremony music and she was very helpful in sending me a list of common choices for various parts of the ceremony. She has many traditional and more modern songs. She can also learn a new one for you if the sheet music is available. Our guests were taken away to another place when they heard her play during our ceremony. We received many compliments on her and it was the last piece that made our ceremony and cocktail hour very romantic and intimate. You will be very pleased if you hire Esther, the Elegant Harp.

Have had…read morerepairs done on several amps, even one that was gone through by several Mod shops that couldn't diagnose the issue... And they've all come back like TANKS!

Have bought a Peavey 5150 head, a Whammy Pedal and several other items from them, and they are ALWAYS in great condition. These are two musicians who look out for you, and treat all of your stuff like their own! Highly recommend! Thanks for the great work guys.

We hired the backtalk band for our wedding in Skaneateles last week, and they were absolutely…read morefantastic. They capped the event so well. Jim was an excellent MC--he has a great voice, nice personality, and didn't talk too much (like a lot of other DJs or MCs do) but created such a warm atmosphere. Their guitarist played dinner music. At one point one of our guests turned to us and we realized-wait, this isn't pre-recorded music?? They sounded so grreat and the dance floor always had lots of people on it. They play older music, but the good thing is that older people feel more comfortable dancing to it and the younger people will dance to everything, and young or old, you already know the songs. They also learned several new songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, and were very accommodating. After how fantastic they were at our reception, we would never even consider a DJ or any other band for that matter.

I wanted professional singers and instrumentalists for my songs, and Nate was great in lining up the perfect team. Our sessions have been fun for all. I have looked forward to each of them, and I look forward to many more. Nate is a multi-talented production engineer and musician. His mixes are great and he is very friendly and easy to work with. I immediately felt like I was part of the REP family. My team has been great in staying true to my music, but also in offering suggestions (chord changes, tempo, dynamics), and they have done so kindly. A composer needs to be open to the input of others - welcoming it. It is only by maintaining a big dash of humility can I hear what my listeners hear. Don't shy away from using REP Studio. It is great!

When the reverb on my amp wasn't working I asked a place downtown how much to fix it and they said over $100 if the tubes needed replacing.

They buy used equipment and are happy to make a deal with you for store credit. I traded in a guitar I don't use anymore for a brand new practice amp! TLDR: if you want pedals, used equipment or repairs, go to these guys. They've got a helpful, honest and fair staff that will help you find the right stuff and get your gear fixed.
