How long has it been for you and why are you missing out?!

I went in to buy a bass and a practice amp. I got talked into buying this little…read morerecording/headphone device for the same price I wanted the amp ($160). I was told I had 30 days to return it. I didn't like it and tried to return it a few weeks later. What I wasn't told was that I'd only get $50 as in store credit if the box was damaged (just the box, not the actual product itself). The worst part was the guy looked up the resell price on a used version and it came to about $80, but he then took 35% off even though it's a return. I then wanted to buy an amp (What I originally wanted before I was talked into something else) and asked for something around the $150 mark. He then tried to talk me into an amp without telling me the price. I had to firmly ask what the price was twice before he told me it's $300. Even though I was visibly upset from losing $100 from a product I bought from them because the box was damaged. I finally got him to show me exactly what I wanted. If you go here, know exactly what you want and be firm about it so you're not talked into getting something you don't want that costs more money. Also know that the boxes their products are in are worth $100 so you can't return a perfect condition product, within their return window, if the box is damaged.

Michael was quick to help me find the perfect Mesa Boogie and brought down some custom PRS guitars so I could rock out and relax. I had a great time playing for a couple of hours. I returned the next day and continued to play and chat with the great staff. Geoff introduced himself and asked what I was interested in. He brought me a few high quality guitars until I couldn't resist. He made me a smoking deal on the JP Mesa Boogie and a beautiful purple mist PRS. I recommend FSG's and will definitely continue business with them even though I am from the Central Valley in California.

Five stars for the price of a trumpet for under $500 which should last my kid through high school…read more The rental through the school was over $20 dollars a month plus insurance so it made sense to buy one. it's great because I didn't have to get a questionable instrument online, and the place the school recommended had a $2000++ trumpet and that's outside my budget Communication is challenging. Not straightforward and definitely not as quick and easy as online shopping. We signed up for lessons. Had a bit of communication issues and the owner stepped in to help move the way since summer schedule is different than school schedule. ( aka travel and camps mess up a regular class time). For $129/ 4 lessons 30 min other friends say this is a great deal. I have no idea if it's a good deal or not, but I really like the teacher. Lots of other great teachers here. I think the retail store at the teaching area should be two different reviews but alas ( dated decor but worth it for the price. I'd hate try pay more for a glam studios which does nothing to teach my kid) Again communication is an issue. Patience and patience and it's worth it

Craig opened the door and gave us his undivided attention for the next 90-120 minutes (I don't remember how long we took to decide on 4 or 5 different violins). But his attention to us and ability to answer most of our questions was very useful & helpful in our eventual decision. There were options and more options...and Craig clearly understood the process of violin purchasing! Patience and plenty of options were available. Definitely will recommend any friend or relatives to visit with Craig & Roxanne for a stringed musical instrument.

I'm a beginner violin player and was at a little bit of a loss about where to rent a violin while…read moreI'm learning. Allegro has better hours than most of the shops in the Portland metro area, so I made an appointment with Craig to see some violins. The shop is right in their house, and while I think they prefer appointments, I believe you could also just stop in. Craig showed me two different violins--entry level and mid level. I went with the mid-level and will be doing a rent to own. His prices are good and the instruments beautiful. He tuned it for me, had me try it out, and gave me some options for buying rosin and the shoulder pad. He also showed me an app, pano, which you can use to tune the violin on your own. Pretty cool. I would highly recommend Allegro and Craig for your string instruments.
