Having seen Brian's YouTube videos, I decided to hire him for four lessons and get unstuck. Wow! I'm really glad I did. He corrected my posture and playing style, gave me the confidence to learn new and challenging songs, and I picked up some great new skill-building exercises. If you're a beginner or an advanced player, Brian can really help move your forward.

I have only been taking lessons with Brian for a couple of months, but in that short time I've…read morenoticed a significant improvement in my playing. Brian is an excellent teacher with a vast knowledge of music theory and techniques. I enjoy the way he tailors the lessons to address the interests of each student. He is truly passionate about music and teaching. I also appreciate that he is very positive and supportive regardless of playing ability or prior knowledge of music. I'm having so much fun playing now and feel more and more confident in my abilities week by week. If you are interested in learning how to play the ukulele, or are wanting to improve after years of trying to teach yourself from YouTube, I highly recommend you go see Brian at Woodstock Ukulele Studio.

Peter Tsiorba is a phenomenon when it comes to build a classical and flamenco guitar…read more I would not trust anyone else to build for me a guitar but Peter Tsiorba. Peter built for me 3 flamenco guitars in 2005 in 2010 and in 2021 from top woods like German spruce grade AAA+ top for all the 3 guitars. 2 guitars with Brazilian rosewood back & sides and 1 guitar with a Pau Ferro wood back and sides. And these guitars sounds great and easy to play. I am playing the guitar close to 53 years now and was playing many guitars in my life. I can tell very fast the quality of a flamenco guitar. I would buy only a handmade Peter Tsiorba guitar not a factory made guitar! I have compared Peter`s Tsiorba guitars that I own with world famous guitar luthiers who cost much more than Peter Tsiorba guitars and man ,, I must say I am so happy I choose Peter Tsiorba.

Tim seems to know synthesizers and especially the older vintage synths…read more His repair prices seem fair to me. It took months, however I was not in a hurry. Especially in an area where there are few knowledgeable synth guys. There used to be some knowledgeable guys even in Eugene, but they are long gone, just like disposable consumer audio equipment. I had a prior horrible experience at another Portland repair shop years ago. My attempts at just talking to someone knowledgeable about an Oberheim OB012 was futile. The problem is you have to go through the girl who answers the phone, and she isn't going to give you any information other than a time frame to open it up. That synth sat for months until I finally got a call saying they could not fix it. What did they do? Nothing other than what I had already attempted to do which was firmware updating. I sent the Oberheim to Viscount USA, the makers of the Oberheim OB-12, and it was fixed within 3 weeks. Imagine that! Back to Tim...yeah I would send him anything he says he is open to looking at.

I left my amp there, asked them to give me an estimate of what it would cost. Instead they called me and said the repair was done, without having agreed on a price. Then he implied he did me a favor by doing that because he was so busy, and berated me over the phone. I picked up the amp, paid his unreasonable fee, and it was not even fixed. Terrible.
