Bobby is a wonderful person. He acts a guide not business man.
He give you best advise taking your interest in mind not his.
Awesome little shop. My favorite bass hadn’t had a proper set up in 14 years. I dropped it off with Bobby and he worked his magic on it. It plays better than it did when I first bought it. Definitely my go-to place for instrument repairs now.
I got a great deal on a pre-owned Gibson that was being sold on consignment. Bobby took care of me and the guitar is in FANTASTIC condition, as described. I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you!
I went needing a pack of guitar strings to find out that they were closed. Their hours online say 12-4 on Saturday. Their door said the same. Lights off no one answered the phone. The time I went you ask? 3:25. EDIT:I have since gone back and they have been very nice and kind. Which has let me to update my rating.
Everyone was insanely helpful from who I spoke to on the phone for customer support, to the guy that helped me out when I came to pick up the amp in store. Giuliano’s Music takes care of its customers. Will definitely be returning for anything else I need in the future.
Good service, very nice staff and management!

AAA Band Rentals are a pleasure to deal with – their online rental process is super easy and hassle-free. The rental fees are reasonable and I love that they deliver directly to the schools. Highly recommended!
Great service! Always a pleasure to work w/Mike
Always friendly, always professional, always knowledgeable. Excellent at instrument repair!!!
One of the better instrument rental locations around. Other competition use cheap generic brands. My granddaughter’s clarinet was given to her in like new condition.
Fast and efficient. Our instrument had a minor repair performed overnight. Only 4 stars though because yesterday I was given a $20 rough estimate for the work to be done “it certainly won’t be more that $20” and today the bill ended up being $47 “material has gone up”…it certainly has …overnight!
Good people
Awful, awful company. Sent me threatening letters in the mail demanding $30 long after the trumpet was returned to Ridgefield Music. The letter actually threatened to have me arrested if I didn’t pay their fee.

We are so fortunate to have a local music school in the town of Westport (The Connecticut School of Music) that is affiliated with a music store/ rental company in nearby Norwalk. The Rental Instrument LLC carries a wide range of both band and string instruments, giving local families the great opportunity to select the instrument of their choice. It’s a one stop shop as they also provide the books and all other accessories that the schools require (they have been working with the different public schools for a long time that they know what each school would require with each instrument). You can pick up your instrument in Westport or you can take the short drive to Norwalk to get it. What’s more? They can deliver for free to schools in both Westchester and Fairfield Counties and even to some private schools in New York City! Both companies, the school and the rental, are owned by Ken Kuo, a world-renowned Cellist and he takes the business seriously. He is not only renting out instruments, he is also passing on his passion for music to the youth. He has a team of musicians and technicians who take very good care of each instrument they rent out so you are assured that you are getting a well-loved pre-rented instrument. Their house brand of instruments are made especially for them. Think of it as like getting a certified pre-owned car direct from the dealership! In the event that your rented instrument breaks during your contract, their in-house technicians can repair it in no time. Their price is very competitive and they have a big inventory of instruments and accessories so you’re guaranteed they have what you need. No need to shop around. You can even fill out a rental contract online, from the comforts of your home. This is about as good as it gets. That’s a promise!
Excellent staff, knowledgeable, friendly, but getting in and out of there is a nightmare because of Route 7 traffic
Tiny place. Better for stringed instruments.
Don’t ever decide to rent a string instrument from here. The instrument is in terrible quality and would never rent one from here again. Quality is below average

Gerald is a fabulous teacher….he keeps my son interested and wanting to learn more. He’s able to understand quickly what will motivate his students and how to make learning fun for them. It’s amazing how much my son has accomplished!
Great with our son from day 1, he had never played before. Very helpful picking out a drum set. Very happy with our decision! Would recommend for anyone at any level.
Gerald Myles is a thoughtful teacher. He correctly assesses a drummer’s skill level and adjusts the difficulty level of a lesson accordingly. He uses modern audio equipment and includes play-along-with-the music as part of a lesson. Recommended.

I’ve brought several guitars here for setups and repairs and have had nothing but great experiences. Love the text alerts when my stuff is ready for pickup, and the service is always top-notch and quick too. This will remain my go-to spot for all guitar and music equipment needs!
Great service. Quality business.
I have been teaching piano for more than 15 years now and I can say that Crescendo Music is one of the best music schools I ever had the pleasure to teach in. From the director of the school, through the team behind the counter, to the teachers, for everyone the first priority is how to welcome and accommodate each student in the best possible way. My colleagues are all wonderful musicians and incredible performers who take their job very seriously and with a level of responsibility that is a rarity today. The school itself is organized in such a way that every student receives everything he or she could ever need – from the books that are instantly ordered by the personnel to the wonderful opportunity to perform at a well organized recital in a wonderful venue at the end of each semester.
Do not believe a flute that was dropped off to be cleaned and refurbished was even touched. Paid for the service and when opened, it remained unpolished and keys were still sticking to the pads. Unprofessional.
Do not rent from them. Had a few issues – just now with the return of the instrument. Returned a cello on 5.20, and still received a charge for another forward month on 5.22.
I called them, and manager Jason told me it is my job to call their provider of instruments and take care of this situation. That they only provide pick up and drop off and cannot be on the phone all day trying to reach their supplier. I was also offered to come and get the cello from the store again and personally take it to their supplier.
Very bad. Obviously, they do not get that when a customer rents from them, it is Crescendo’s store the customer rents from and not some obscure supplier. It is also their brand/store image that suffers.

One of the best experiences I’ve had with Bestbuy so far. I interacted with about 6 different employees during my trip; the staff was cordial, efficient, and knowledgeable. Definitely a better experience than my local store.
The best people here to help you
Excelente servicio
Great assortment of electronic devices. Helpful salesperson without high pressure. Nice assortment of microwave ovens but Amazon pric9was better.
Good store
Salesman very helpful, prices on the higher side
The WORST customer service I have ever received! Went there to get headphones and iPad cases, and stood about three steps away from the cashier and I was the only customer waiting at that time. The middle aged female cashier ignored me for several minutes and instead she was flirting with a male customer who was passing by. When she finally started helping me, she asked for my phone number anf had me repeated at least five times. In the middle of the process she was chatting with the other cashiers. She even forgot that she had scanned my items already and then scanned them again!
Don’t trust the wireless people! I was told that my corporate discount would apply to the “new unlimited plan” I was convinced to sign up for, but of course AT&T won’t let me save a dime. The AT&T “expert” at this location LIED TO ME to make a sale. Beware this location!
Terrible customer service at this location

Always very helpful. I’ve been going here for a few years now and their whole staff are very knowledge and friendly. When I want jewelry this is place Can’t beat the prices. Also I’m into Bose equipment, Radios, etc. every time I go in they have a great selection of Bose stuff. Great place for a good Bargain.
Great place! Very respectable, honest and trustworthy! Would use them over and over again!
Trustworthy, honest, a pleasure to do business with. In one instance I was present when a customer came in and brought some gold jewelry. The owner of the store asked how much she was looking to get for her items? She replied $150.00 to 200.00 the owner examined the jewelry and smiled and said “I think I’m going to make you very happy! Your gold will bring you $1200.00 dollars. Now in my mind that is honesty to the max! Shop here for your jewelry and other things and you will be treated honestly!
Great selection of jewelry
Great finds if you’re looking for used tools or if you’re into Coin collecting
Very nice and friendly customer service, Christ the sale representative help me out alot. Love their store. Will definitely come back again to buy more staff
My fiance sold my old engagement ring the check was decline when i deposited went back to the store. To see if icould get some help The guy was so rude to my fiance very unhelpful told him i ran off with the money like are you serious how disrespecrful can you be never again will i go to them. Horrible experience i dont recommend.
Not very well prepared and take their sweet time when it comes to asking their customers if they need anything. Once in a blue moon you can find something interesting there, other than that there isn’t much to see.
I have been taking a Dremel tool to my Jazz 3 picks for years,
but those days are over. My replacements the BLADE II and the
STEALTH 2.0 RGD are my go-to’s, and I could go on for hours about how carefully considered and formed they are.
Most of all my technique has never been completely realized until these picks came along.
Thank You Acoustic Attak!
So far I like them. I got a three pack of the acoustic picks and find them a nice acoustical addition to the sound of my D15. It actually does what it says it’s supposed to do, make it sound fuller. Not quite the twelve string effect, but nice considering you can sweep with it both up and down. I may try their other picks and see what sonic goodies await.
