I learned so much here than l ever learned from any piano lessons in the last year.
Excellent shop, a lot of soul and rare items! Hope to return soon!
An awesome spot! The dude that runs the place knows his stuff when it comes to acoustic instruments! A nice little selection in an upstairs nook make this a very unique place to go!
I was disappointed with the repair work done on my guitar. It wasn’t a horrible job but it wasn’t a good job either.
The luthier wasn’t able to polish the frets because they didn’t have any high grit sandpaper so, I had to “polish” the frets with my strings from play wear and now my frets are “polished” very unevenly.
He seemed to do an okay job with the fret leveling and crowning but there are still some noticeable corners on about half of the fret edges and especially on the higher frets where people usually don’t play. (You can tell how he had it laid on the table because one side is relatively smooth and the other looks like it barely got any attention along with the nut which is just as sharp as before)
He also got multiple dings and scratches on my guitar neck. Which I personally don’t mind on the specific guitar I sent in, but I would be quite irritated if it happened to a higher end guitar. (It’s named ‘Rawhide’ which explains the guitar well)
So, pretty much I paid for an incomplete job where if I had the proper tools I could have done it myself and probably much better.
I’m not trying to start anything and I don’t want to get the Luthier in trouble, I just want to see quality work from the Luthier so *if* I ever bring in a higher end guitar I won’t have to sleep in fear worrying about possible damage.
My recommendation for the Luthier is if someone pays you to level, crown and polish frets, make sure you have ALL of the necessary tools and really take the time to do a good job on ALL of the frets. Also make sure to keep the guitar safe in the process.
If I had known what to expect for what I paid for, I would have pressed the Luthier to finish the job, but at the time I didn’t know what high quality frets were like.
Lastly, on an unrelated topic that really goes to personal preference, they require masks to enter the store, no exceptions. I don’t support being muzzled for a virus with a 99%+ survival rate and even 95%+ if you’re over the age of 70, where it’s so “deadly” you require a medical test just to see if you have it, and asymptomatic spread has been proven to be extremely rare, if not just another myth to keep us living in fear.
But to each their own.
Went to store this morning at ten after 11 and no one was there.
I’m very disappointed in this “business” we had taken a family heirloom to him to be repaired, he said it would take two weeks. Hey, great you got a deal. Let’s go ahead and pay for it so you will have the money on hand to pay for the parts and your time. Three weeks later we have to call and the guitar still isn’t finished. Four weeks later we call once again it’s still not done. I go to the “business” to see if it’s even been touched, and low and behold it had not. He had already told us that sales from other people come first with it being around the holidays. Wait wait so a sale that was already made gets placed last?! That was my daughter’s Christmas present as well to hear the guitar play once again that her papa had gave to her 10 years ago, then he pasted away. I will never trust this place again repairs or to buy from!

Absolutely fantastic customer service. Well worth the drive. Amazing variety of instruments. Rentals are reasonably priced and easy to secure. We are VERY happy!
Good variety of musical instruments.
Maestros profesionales
Their prices are a little high but this is definitely the best store to get your instrument needs. It’s a heaven for our family
Had to make a quick stop to grab a few things. I know it was closing time. I was trying to make it quick. When they started harassing my husband reminding him when they close he left and we took our business somewhere else. Customers want to feel welcomed, not reminded how unfortunate you are to have to lock the door right at 5:00.
The customer service is awful I definitely won’t be back there every again

AWESOME! Matt is fantastic to work with, high quality equipment, totally professional. Matt is a great guy to work with and highly knowledgeable about the industry. Totally exceeded my expectations.
Matt is a total professional. He has great prices and a lot of top notch equipment. He can master, mix, and produce all of your musical projects.He has a solid feel for all genres of music. I have created two projects here and I’m completely satisfied with the end result. He is flexible on booking dates, but he fills up quickly. Highly recommended.
Matt is awesome and while your at it you should go ahead and look up Waters Records cause they’re awesome too!!!!
Great shopping experience! Quick fulfillment, thanks.
Wanted a pedal where the price doesn’t fluctuate. I got it shipped to me in 2 days and saved $20(+) on taxes and shipping.
Just as described and got some free picks too. Thank You cool guitar guys at Cool Guitar Shop.

So glad I found Mike @ Wolfsong! Mike setup and installed a new cartridge on my VPI Scout, and provided great recommendations on overall system health. Concierge audio?! YES! Having Mike do the install at *my* house in the context of *my* system helped with on-the-fly tweaks to ensure the turntable was setup exactly right for my gear. Highest recommendation, 5-star service for sure. (oh, and super friendly too!)
I have done business with Mike for 20 years. Top shelf products and the best advice on products.
Owner Mike Burns is a rare example of insightful knowledge, skill, experience and ethics.

Friendly guys there I’m from out of town and they treated me really nice I just wanted to try some of their equipment and practice a little and they were very helpful thank you guys
Friendly folks. Serve the community well.
Loveddddd this place, so sad the only show i went to here was their last one!
Place was VERY loud
Awesome local venue, cheap and a great place for local bands
Always something to find here
Records are insanely overpriced, owner is very rude.
Absolutely horrible vinyl records shop. Records are not clean, or organized correctly. Way overpriced, as owner doesn’t use the mainstream Discogs system, but Amazon.
2/5 would not recommend. Venue has a big light that shines directly in your eyes while playing on stage and gets very hot and uncomfortable up there. Overall, not a bad place, just wish it was bigger, and that damn light be taken down or at least replaced with something that doesn’t get hot, like an led
