Our son was interested in learning to play the guitar. Mark was wonderful.

I gave Mark my vintage gold sparkle Gretsch snare drum to sell, in excellent condition. I used to…read moreplay it in the Red Hook High School Band in the 1950s. Mark promised he would tell me when he sold the drum, and i gave him my land line phone number, my cell phone number, my email address, and my home address in Barrytown. I checked frequently at first, then not so frequently. Almost three years later Mark told me the drum had been sold for $300 to a Bard College professor, but Mark said he didn't tell me because he couldn't reach me (I have a working recorder on my phone). Mark couldn't locate the sales receipt, and couldn't tell me the Bard College professor's name. Mark said he has thousands and thousands of receipts, and to locate just one would be almost impossible. I told Mark I would feel better showed me the sales receipt before he paid me, and to please keep looking. He is still looking. Our agreement was that Mark would get 20% commission of the best sales price he could get, I would get 80%.

My daughter plays violin. A lot. The people at Stamell are top-notch, super-helpful, and local…read more They patiently helped guide her when we were selecting her first "better" violin. Troy is an expert luthier, and his repair work (which we've unfortunately required...) is first rate. We are lucky to have Stamell around and supporting the Poughkeepsie area for strings.

That would be sweet.

Andrea was great to deal with every step of the way. I actually prefer the re-rings over how the snare was without them! I am so satisfied with this company that I sent the rest of my drums.

He answered all questions, let me "kick the tires" and noodle around with several guitars to my satisfaction, and was very easy to deal with. I did buy an excellent Dean exotica acoustic electric & amp. Cannot sat enough good things about this awesome guitar. My thanks to Dennis. Also decided to take lessons from him. He is a guitarist in his own right and is patient. (As a retired teacher and administrator I do know that patience is a virtue.) His assistant, Louis, is a dynamite guy - also a very talented musician. If you are looking for an honest guy who knows his stuff, then Dennis is the man for you and his shop is the place to go.

We've recently engaged Julian Berman and have been very pleased with his work. He's a piano technician, too, meaning he can fix stuff. Besides presenting us with all eight-eight keys not sticking and each playing its assigned note, Julian is always up for a chat--which can drift away from music down whatever corridors of mutual interest we discover. A pleasant dividend indeed. Julian serves Ulster, Dutchess, Columbia, and Greene Counties and may be reached at 845-625-8640.
