Danche is old school but he is a true artist and Master Craftsman. He understands musicians and how important their instrument is to them. He can fix almost anything with strings and wood, and turns repairs around in record time. His shoppe has a nice selection of guitars, amps and other related gear and you can take guitar and eukelele lessons here too. Every time I go in I am greeted by his golden retriever and some days his cat makes an appearance too. All in all Danche is cool, so be cool while you\u2019re at Danche.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This was just a tragic experience\u2026 The gentleman was very nice and said my guitar would be ready by Saturday\/Sunday. I said I\u2019d love it if it were ready on Saturday because I was singing kids songs in the morning Sunday. I\u2019m sure it WAS ready Saturday, but unfortunately the woman responsible for calling me did not do so correctly, as I received no message or missed calls. When I checked in on Wednesday, the woman over the phone said that she did call me and that I didn\u2019t check my messages. I informed her that I did check, but there was no message. Rather than apologizing or taking responsibility for misdialing or simply forgetting, she responded annoyed, \u201ccheck again, because I did call and you do have a message.\u201d I hung up and went ahead to check all of my missed calls and messages\u2026 Nothing. When I arrived shortly after in the store, there was no mention of it and no attempt at responsibility.<\/p>\n

My kids enjoyed the friendly dog and my guitar is fixed by the nice gentlemen. Unfortunately, I won\u2019t be coming back to this store because the woman was unnecessarily condescending and stubborn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

what he lacks in person to person customer service skills, he makes up for with quality work. this man can bring dead guitars back to life. he can fix ANY stringed instrument.
\nprices reasonable to high, but worth it.<\/p>\n

friendly and cute dog too!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I paid $65 to have a brand new Squire Telecaster set up. This is a fair price and he did a great job. It was ready when he said it would be.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Can\u2019t rate the store because I couldn\u2019t get in. My friend had late bday plans and wanted to get him a present so I wanted to come here. Got here at 6:20 and the door was locked. Drove back past it and saw the guy so bennifit of the doubt he went to the bathroom but no sign or anything. Very frustrating.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The man that runs this store is incredibly rude. I went in there on the phone with my fiance because I was planning on getting her a guitar possibly and I enjoy helping local businesses and he came up to me saying \u201coh you just gonna finish your call in here?\u201d and I replied with \u201cwell I\u2019m on the phone and looking at guitars and thinking about maybe getting one\u201d and he then said how would I like it if he came in my HOME and finished a call and I honestly was so taken aback by how absolutely rude and disrespectful he was being to me as someone who literally just said I was looking into buying a guitar and wasn\u2019t being in any way loud or disruptive on my phone. I came back during one of my breaks because I work across the street from him and I said how I didn\u2019t appreciate how rude he was being to me over being on the phone and he went on a whole tirade about how it was disrespectful to be on the phone in his store\u2026not even being loud on the phone in his store\u2026he said it was disrespectful to just be ON THE PHONE in his store. I told him how ridiculous that was that no other store on this street cares about you being on the phone some even let you bring your dog into the store. He had no signs posted that said anything about not being on your phone in the store and was BEYOND rude and I will never give him any business again and encourage everyone who reads this to not give him business either.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Chill dudes but\u2026.I got a terrible set up on my bass. Literally didn\u2019t set it up as I asked them to and I couldn\u2019t get it back to my proper tuning afterwards. Also for some reason it was like 50% more expensive than quoted? I am kind of a guitar noob and don\u2019t know much about these things so I didn\u2019t understand why my bass sounded so bad afterwards and wasn\u2019t bold enough to demand a refund\/rework \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Know your stuff if you\u2019re coming in here cause they don\u2019t go out of their way to help\/communicate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The place to go in the area as an upright bass player, or really any musician in general. It\u2019s very clear that they genuinely care about their customers and will go out of their way to make sure you are happy. I was on a tight budget for a midrange bass and they went out of their way to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted at an extremely fair price, including setting up multiple basses with my preferred string and letting me keep one at home for awhile before paying. They also let me take it back a few times to make adjustments to make sure the setup perfectly tailored my needs. I expected to just get a decent plywood but ended up with a caved top romanian bass I love due to their helpfulness and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go to Guitar Center or play russian roulette buying online, go support this local shop. I\u2019m 45 minutes out and it\u2019s well worth it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

45 dollars for an on the spot (30 min) electric guitar restring, minus the price for the strings, is a little steep, folks. I appreciate the good work, but I can get the same treatment for a lot less at A Sound Education off Ogden.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I gave this place a bad review after dealing with a younger employee But when the manager was alerted to the situation (A few days later) it was dealt with fairly. Kagan and Gains has a long time reputation in their neighborhood of being the first choice for musical lessons of any instrument and Fair pricing on instruments and accessories. It may not be the best place to shop for a new guitar But they can handle all your needs afterwords. I recommend them for all your strings, Guitar cases, Band instruments, ect. You will find all of them are of good quality and pricing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I have had great success with Kagan.& Gaines..
\nSince my daughter started Violin back in 2006
\nThey were able to help me with a 1\/2 size , a 3\/4 violin and now my daughter is in a full size French made violin.
\nExcellent service and knowledge of violins.
\nThey have helped my daughter become the great young violinist she is, as this is where it all started for my Alexis.
\nHaving a great selection of violins to choose from.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I hate to agree with the user below who complained of a dishonest experience, but we are going through the same. I\u2019ve read all of the other 5 star reviews and notice a pattern: it seems that for violin and stringed instruments, this is a great place. For renting brass\/woodwind instruments via their monopoly with the school districts, they are subpar and dishonest. We should have just purchase a used instrument which would have resulted in us obtaining a superior instrument at, I am not exaggerating, 1\/4 the total cost. We just had to call them to stop processing our credit card when we noticed we had been paying an abnormally long time on my daughter\u2019s VERY USED, VERY DENTED saxophone (4 years!). We were \u201creassured\u201d that, coincidentally, they were just going to call us as well as our payments happened to be completed. Yet they have no records of all the payments that we made, and are asking us to provide payment records going back to 2017 to \u201cprove\u201d how much we have paid in total. Luckily for us, we can easily provide them as they have all been made on the same credit card for years. We are also disputing the amount owed as our daughter\u2019s original \u201cnicer\u201d model saxophone broke, was taken in for repairs, and she was given a loaner, student-model, older and dented sax. Her other one was never repaired and instead she\u2019s just had this one forever. We were told at the time it would be \u201cworked out.\u201d Now they want us to pay the same amount as they were going to charge for the initial instrument to keep this replacement instrument permanently, as they also claim to have NO record that any switch was ever made or that the original saxophone was ever brought in for repairs. Typically, I endeavor to support neighborhood shops, but not when their record keeping is straight out of Mayberry. This is taking a lot of our time and energy to sort out, and we\u2019ve ultimately laid out over $2300 to own an instrument that I have found at multiple music stores online for around $600 and under. We understand that renting the own is typically more expensive, but this feels like being swindled in every way. Extremely disappointed. My husband has been playing music for over 40 years \u2013 he also used to play saxophone \u2013 and his mother is a professional classical musician. He is used to dealing with all sorts of music shops and has never had an experience like this one.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Miss Olivia is a delight! My son and I really look forward to each class, which combines what is recently learned and ways to build on it. You will love the variety of music and instruments. Prepare to participate with whatever voice you have and enjoy the ride!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My family has been attending music classes with Ms. Olivia for about 5 years, and we couldn\u2019t recommend her more highly. Joyful Noise offers an opportunity to introduce your little one to music, get out of the house and play, and socialize with other families. The format is fun, engaging, and hands-on. My kids love experimenting with new instruments, \u201cbubble time\u201d, and seeing their friends each week. Ms. Olivia\u2019s love for music and children really shines through \u2013 seeing her smiling face is a highlight of our week! There are so many kids\u2019 activities in our area and it can be hard to pick, but if you only sign your baby or toddler up for one thing, this should be it. My family will always be grateful to Ms. Olivia for encouraging our kids to love and appreciate music!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Good selection, but some records that were labeled \u201cvery fine\u201d were definitely not very fine. While I was there, I found a dog bite affecting the first four tracks on a used LP by The Police.

Fretless Music was hands down the best vendor of our entire wedding. We hired a trio for our wedding day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner-party reception) and couldn\u2019t have been more impressed. SO many guests told us they were thrilled to have live music. Stephanie was extremely communicative leading up to the wedding and just one of the sweetest people I\u2019ve ever met. The musicians were professional, prepared, and they executed the wedding day flawlessly for us. I would recommend these musicians to anyone and everyone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I hired Fretless (string quartet) for my wedding ceremony, and they were amazing! As a musician, it was so important to me to set the tone with a live string ensemble and they delivered. Stephanie was incredibly responsive, thorough, and easy to work with. 10\/10.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
As a wedding planner, I can say that Fretless is a fantastic vendor!<\/p>\n

My couples love working with Stephanie, she ALWAYS glides into a wedding day with a smile, audio gear & instrument in hand ; before I know it, she is set up, the rest of the musicians arrive and music fills the air.<\/p>\n

Fretless is one of my top rated vendors by couples as well when we have our post wedding wrap up calls\/meetings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am impressed with the quality of work done on a very neglected tenor sax. This instrument had rust and mold on it, the bell was flattened on one side and it needed full pads. The tech did a fantastic job in getting it cleaned up, reshaped and overhauled. Thank you!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve lived in Berwyn my entire life, 62 of them and never went in this store until a few days ago.
\nI was walking by and this gentleman out front, I said to him I\u2019ve been here my whole life and never came in here. He invited me in, gave me a tour and is full of knowledge. I was truly impressed and literally lost time.
\nI don\u2019t play an instrument but hung on every word he said. A true professional. I\u2019ve been back to say hi for now I\u2019m glad I met him, I\u2019ll consider Duane my new friend.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Love this cool local joint. Got a fair price for strings and restringing my guitar (I\u2019m new). Cash only, but I\u2019m good with that for local gems like Smeltekops.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
