I was having major trouble finding a trustworthy place to get my guitar set up in CT, and from the moment I called Chris I knew bringing my guitar to 812 was the right decision. Chris is friendly, welcoming, knowledgable, and extremely passionate about what he does. To top it off my guitar sounds better now than it has in years (maybe ever). I highly recommend Chris to anyone who needs anything from a basic set up to a major repair – he can do it all.
Chris did a beautiful job returning my Taylor 12 string back to it’s former glory. I was amazed at how incredible the tone sounded when I got it back from him. It sounded even better than when I first bought it. The crack on the top has been repaired to the point where there is no hint that it had ever cracked. I can’t wait to bring my Gretsch in for repairs.
The best guitar setup I’ve ever gotten at a reasonable price. The quality of work is extremely high!
BEWARE!!! The repair was fine, but parts on a vintage guitar was changed from the replaced from the original with cheap parts. I contacted him many times but, I did not get the vintage parts returned. I wonder what he did with them…
Just be careful if you are having vintage equipment worked on.
Every repair shop returns the original parts, if the part was replaced. Especially vintage parts.

Ray in the guitar department ws incredibly helpful! spent a lot of time helping me and my son.
A great store!
I can’t rate this place high enough. I am a guitar player and I love buying stuff from the real shops and not just the big warehouses out there (Guitar Center among others) and this place fits the bill. Great people who are willing to work with you and help you find what you need. Great prices too. I purchased a guitar from them and I will purchasing some other things from them as well. If you are in the market for good gear then check these guys out. Ask for Joe, as he will take care of you.
It’s a nice place! It’s a bit small but otherwise it’s nice.
We were kindly helped in the store, but we were buying a guitar for our son and we don’t live in the US. We were having problems with internet so we couldn’t research correctly at the moment, but they assured that the amp could be used in 220 current. We arrived home and we connected the amp and it didn’t work. So the amp was burned. Apart from that the price was a bit higher than the same thing in other stores, it’s not nice to pay 50 dollars more, but that is just business and anyone can charge what they want. It was our fault that we didn’t do a good research before buying. But the very kind person that assured us that it would work because he used to be an electrician, and it only needed a basic adapter, was totally wrong and now we are home and we lost an amp, so we paid extra for the set and it didn’t work. You were very kind indeed, but please if you are not sure about something, don’t sell it. Because we lost money and we can’t go back because we don’t live there.
Terrible customer service. Called and said I would be by in 10 minutes for an emergency repair. Guy was nice on the phone. When I arrived 5 minutes early they had closed up and locked. Super helpful…
Rudest customer service I have ever encountered. The man I spoke to on the phone yelled and hung up on me. When my daughter went in person to drop off the instrument for repair at the agreed upon time, he remained upset and kicked my daughter out of the store. Strongly encourage anyone looking to have their instruments fixed to look elsewhere. Disappointing experience to say the least.
Their hours aren’t very convenient and I was having a guitar strung and I dropped it off and I didn’t get a call before the store closed and then they were closed the next day Sunday so I didn’t get my guitar until Monday and that was extremely inconvenient. They also have a very small selection of basses.Update, they aren’t even open a couple hours on the 4th of July so I won’t get my guitar till Tuesday I am very upset with this store.

Hit Of The Wedding!
Francesco was referred to us by Aria who told us he needed to be there. Upon our first meeting we knew we would be hiring him for our wedding. His calm demeanor put us at ease and he answered all of our questions carefully. He is highly organized and efficient and I knew from the start he would be exactly what we wanted. The videos of his work were amazing. The day of the wedding the set up looked elegant and added to the ambiance of the day. He did an amazing job from start to finish, from strolling with his accordion during cocktail hour, making the room cry when he sang the father/daughter dance song, to playing songs that everyone loved to dance to. From the older Italian relatives to my friends everyone told us how awesome he was and asked for his contact info. He made our wedding everything we wanted it to be and made us so happy! THANK YOU!
Love,
Rita & Jason
I have personally watched Francesco perform at many events and have always loved his work, but my wedding was by far my favorite. He sang our first dance song live and it could not have been more perfect! He knows how to keep the crowd on their feet all night and make everyone happy. Thank you Francesco for always being the life of the party!
Oh What A Weekend!
The moment we booked our wedding we knew we needed Francesco – even if it meant flying him to Mexico! It was going to be difficult to find someone as great as him for our destination wedding in Riviera Maya and it was really a no brainer to us. We’ve had the pleasure of attending several events he has done over the years and had the best time ever at all of them. To me, music is one of the most important parts of a wedding and Francesco did the most amazing job at making it the best party we’ve ever been to. Me and Sean are so grateful you were there and thank you again for everything!!
Sarah V. made the whole process of buying a new grand piano seamless. The level of professionalism and courtesy found at S&S Greenwich cannot be compared to other dealers I visited in the area. There was no pressure or unscrupulous sales tactics, only confidence in the quality of the product. I highly recommend anyone who is in the market for a piano to talk to Sarah, as she will have something for everyone.
It was recommended that I visit Steinway in Greenwich by our piano teacher, and I am so happy we did! The manager, Sarah, was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable especially as we had a LOT of questions while choosing a piano for our son. We went with a new Boston piano, and he’s been playing every minute he can since the day it arrived. Excellent & professional service from top to bottom.
This was one of the best purchasing experiences I’ve ever had. Sarah was knowledgeable and professional, and answered my questions honestly. She truly believes in the product and brand, and the pianos speak for themselves. There was no pressure, just respect for me as a potential client. If you’re considering buying a Steinway or a Steinway-designed piano, look no further than Steinway of Greenwich.
I received a computerized phone message to call this number for a refund because of an awful scamming computer service called ZNS Associates, Ltd. This was probably done to satisfy some regulatory organization rule, and I surmise they have no plans to fulfill any obligations, as I have called them 8 times at prime business hours. The “receptionist” is never in, no messages are returned, and ZNS Solutions was the most deliberately evil company deserved of “restructuring”, albeit, destroying, that I know.
The place is undeniably chaotic. But Marlon and his staff are really warm and kind, do a great job of answering questions. The prices are more than fair, and the selection of rare hard to find music, media and equipment is second to none in the area.
Went today no clue about this place my 1st. It was perfect no issues calm and cool turntable and excellent custom service. Hands down on record needle plays smoothly and perfectly . Great Investment my ears will listen to a great vinyl select with that comes with a turntable ..
This individual charged my wife almost the double of the price he previously agreed on for fixing our Technics receivers. Clearly someone untrustworthy. After expressing our frustration he offered $80 back for not having a bad review here. Too late Mr.
Not only is this guy a snake, he’s arrogant and rude too. Brought a turntable in that needed a few small adjustments that he could have done on the spot. He knew it and I knew it. But he scoffed at me like I was an idiot anyway AND told me to leave it, all without quoting a price. Fortunately I had a friend meet me there (who is a former DJ) who said he could fix it in a minute. Needless to say I gave it to him, ripped up my slip and walked out…NEVER to return.
