Helpful staff. Broke my guitar string and they fixed it for me $5 material and labor
Bought an acoustic here that the store owner had repaired along with a groovy strap. All told, under $200. I’m not exactly local, but I’ll be back if I’m in the area. There are some very cool custom electrics there that are quite the headturners. The guitar sounds great and has real nice action by the way.
Just a note at their entance door with a phone number to call for an appointment.

James is the Music Man! He can do it all. He lives and breathes music. For your events, lessons, James is an excellent choice.
I work for several talent agents and James Antunez is the only stressful one I work for. It’s walking on eggshells when it comes to him. He abuses his position of power and is constantly belittling and insulting his talent. He outright lies to the venues he works for and brags to his talent about it. I do not recommend him.

Dennis has tuned and meticulously restored my piano for years. He also tunes and moves pianos for professionals. I wouldn’t consider anyone else.
I highly recommend Dennis and Evan for tuning and repair.
They will find the source of problems and solve them.
I inherited the piano that my grandfather used to compose and arrange music. It is over 50 years old and had been in storage for a number of years. so it needed a great deal of work. Dennis came out to look and see what we’d need to do to get the piano back into good playing order. He was upfront about all that needed to be done and the minimum that should be done to get my piano back. He ended up taking much of the inside of the piano out for evan to repair/rebuilt in the workshop. Once it was rebuilt and put back together, he tuned it up. I’m so pleased with how it sounds now and the work that they did for a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Ashly Piano Crafts to anyone in need of a simple tuning or a more extensive repair.

Mountain Dod Musicworks is the BEST recording studio on the West Coast. A High End Recording Studio! Tim Frantz the owner is so talented, he is a GREAT composer, recording engineer and an AMAZING ARTIST! He will make your recording perfect. The BEST Recording Studio in Ventura…California…The West Coast!
Highly Recommend!
Tim’s method of teaching is great in that it approaches the student’s need by crafting a learning style tailored to their musical inclinations (ear training vs theory, improvisation vs composition), grounded in effective analogies and reasonable goal setting. Likewise, needed correctional guidance is present for when a bad habit or bizarre self-learned technique is compromising a student’s playing ability. I highly recommend Mountain Dog Musicworks for any guitarist beginning, experienced, or perpetually stuck on a learning curve.
Tim is so knowledgeable, and patient with his students and clients. He is a skillful musician and a gifted encourager.

Carbonite is such an awesome studio. I love the wall of guitars and all the inspiring “toys” to add sounds to my songs. It’s honestly a dream place to be as a musician. Jason the engineer knows his gear so you can get to work and the vibe is always good. I’ve tracked a full length album, three singles and sung on a few projects for other people here and everything always sounds great!
