I e-mailed Hanson & Crawford in January about my 1994 Taylor 710 guitar. When changing strings, I…read morenoticed some dings in the lower frets. Also I thought the guitar would benefit from a professional setup. Greg Hanson responded. He put me on a waiting list to bring my guitar in for service in 3 months (so I had the guitar for 3 months, instead of it sitting in their shop). I brought Greg the guitar in early April as scheduled. He evaluated the guitar and recommended a fret dressing and a partial setup, and I asked him to perform this service for the quoted price. In late May, the guitar was available. The guitar plays great, there is no sign of any fret dings, and it was done for the quoted price. If I needed further guitar work done, I would contact Hanson & Crawford again.

Most recently wanted some new thumb picks; sign on door said call for open hours. I left a message saying I could come by most anytime and to please let me know when someone would be there. It's a small purchase and I was trying to be accommodating. No one called me back. I didn't mention that I also wanted to talk about special ordering an upperline Deering banjo that would have gotten them a huge profit. As they didn't want to sell me the picks for it I assumed they wouldn't be interested in selling me the banjo. I had it shipped from the Sam Ash store in Las Vegas.

He is very experienced, with four generations of experience, with decades being his own personal experience. We called him and we were very happy we did. Our piano ended up needing more than we thought, and Henry repaired it all, for the same originally quoted price. What a truly caring person he is! He didn't just do what was "required" he also did everything that was needed. He also plays extremely well! Very impressed by his playing skills once we was done servicing our piano. We highly recommend his services for all your piano care needs.

Very professional and job well done. Highly recommend! Timely and competitive pricing.read more

I really don't like classical guitar and after a few classes I really really didn't like classical guitar but his diagnostic helped clean up some of posture and technique issues in just a few lessons--I became more aware of when and where I was carrying tension and its led to a significant improvement in my playing after being stuck for way too long. I cannot relay how much happier this has made my wife who has had to suffer through my midlife crisis. If not for health and an unwillingness to mess with his pedagogy focus on classical, I would probably have kept on with lessons. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who needs help and wants to learn.
