When I'm ready for additional or upgraded equipment, I will definitely seek him out!

He walked us through the possibilities which eventually led us to have the new system installed that would meet our needs. The installation crew was professional and completed the job on time. It is wonderful to have a system that accomplished our goal. He followed up to make sure all was going well. I highly recommend using their service for any of you AVL needs.

As a recreational player, the time had come to part with the big boy toys. Both vintage acoustics…read morewere appraised on the spot and consigned also with generous (up to comparison) figures. A solid business deal; ideal if they sell. Sad to let go but good things end too, just like us. Only drawback was the location, a trademark Tacoma style spot to this "northerner". The fact that St Helens Street splits by design was strange and unsettling. To the owner the location is prime property even next to the tavern dive next door. It works for him. No knocks, since parking was in front at no cost. Try that elsewhere! A great deal for guitar and band fans. Need more of these elsewhere in the vicinity.

Back to back lessons with other students where we never get the full 30 minutes. She also just taught out of a lesson book from Amazon so if the lesson of the week only took 10 minutes, she would end the class early. Since my son is a beginner I can teach him from this book. She should have just taught as many pages as she could fit in especially since my son understood the concepts. Not worth $140 a month at all.

I recently found one of my old brass instruments, the trumpet in storage and recognized the valves…read morewere stuck after a decade of sitting, never been professionally cleaned ever, just needed a good service and Seattle Sound Repair came through. 1. I called ahead to ask if I can bring in my trumpet for an estimate for services. 2. I got there, got an estimate for services. I was also informed that I would be notified if the cost would be greater. 3. I did get a phone call that the trumpet for the most part was done but there were other issues (which I knew existed when I first had it over two decades ago) which could be resolved but it'd cost extra. I agreed to it. I figured if I'm going to get it serviced, I should just pay to get it serviced in full and the right way. The communications were timely and transparent. Looking around the place reminds you of a music store Mr. Rogers would have visited. I'm happy there is a brick-and-mortar shop that still performs this craft of repairing instruments. Also, out of all the years I've played this old Yamaha trumpet, it never played so great as it does now. It pays to have a professional service. Of note, best time to go here is in the morning if you drive because there's a good chance you'll find free 2 hour parking.

Not only did the major stuff get fixed, but also every nick and scratch was filled, smoothed and removed. The cello looks a lot better now. Also, he saved us some money by working on repairing existing pieces, instead of just replacing the bow. He did advise us on better handling of the bow to avoid future problem, and also that the bow fix could be just a temp thing, and might still fail. That was back at end of March. The bow is still being abused daily here! =) Once again, thanks for the artisan-ship, for the professionalism and for the time you took talking to my daughter and I. We always learn something valuable from you! =)
